Encouragement for teens: I had terrible pure and religious ocd in high school. I remember thinking I wasted my life and nothing good would ever happen; I was a loser. Looking back (I’m 35 now); that was just not true. I’ve traveled the world; held great jobs; married the love of my life; had best friends; have two beautiful children…. Ocd tried to tell me what my awful future would be like. I’m here to tell you it CANNOT know all the wonderful potential in your future:) don’t give up
