OCD diagnosis solidarity stories mental health

 

Getting a correct diagnosis was like coming home to myself. Treatments and defusion techniques actually work now. My OCD thoughts still really scare me. I still cry about it, and grieve its presence. I mess up.

But, this is so much better than living with a label I knew in my heart wasn’t true.
