My Journey with OCD

Overcoming Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a challenging yet rewarding journey. It requires understanding, patience, and the right strategies. In this article, I will share my personal experiences and the methods that helped me cope with OCD.

Understanding OCD

OCD is often misunderstood. It is not just about being tidy or organized; it involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can disrupt daily life. Recognizing this is the first step towards managing it.
