For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with OCD over cleaning. The constant need for everything to be spotless has taken over my life, leaving me feeling exhausted and drained. But I’ve come to realize that perfection is just an illusion, and it’s okay to embrace imperfection. I’m learning to let go of the constant need to have everything in order, and it’s been freeing. I’ve found relief in seeking support from a therapist and connecting with others who understand what I’m going through. It’s a daily battle, but I’m making progress in finding a balance between cleanliness and my mental well-being. I know it’s a long road ahead, but I’m determined to live a life free from the constraints of OCD. If you’re struggling with something similar, remember that it’s okay not to be perfect and seek help. You’re not alone in this journey.
