Dealing with OCD at 19 has been incredibly tough, but I’ve learned a few things along the way that have helped me manage my obsessive thoughts. Firstly, it’s important to remember that you are not alone in this struggle. There are so many others, just like us, going through the same challenges. Secondly, seeking professional help and finding the right therapist who specializes in OCD has made a world of difference for me. And lastly, practicing mindfulness and being kind to myself during difficult moments has been crucial. It’s not easy, but slowly, I’m learning to take control of my thoughts, rather than letting them control me. Hang in there, I believe in you!
