Realization

I am actually going through the realization process right now because I was dealing with really debilitating issues and my bf pointed out that it might be OCD. I have considered that I might have OCD for years but only vaguely and I never really believed it because I never associated the symptoms. I started going through a really debilitating period with existential anxiety, and basically one thought + reaction spiraled into weeks of slowly worsening symptoms. It was really tough to come forward about to my partner but he has really given me a safe space to express that and now with all the research I’ve been doing I do believe I know what’s wrong. It’s been tough to come to terms with because of how much time I spent pushing away this possibility but I understand now, and I’m hoping this community and this app can be a place for me to start improving.
