OCD and how it is making my recovery harder
I have suffered from OCD for as long as I remember in various forms. It has caused me to be unable to currently work, caused withdrawal from friends and family amongst a host of other effects. What has finally brought me to this app however is that 3 days ago I suffered a near fatal heart attack at 37 years old. This is not the fault of OCD but it is certainly heightened things like somatic OCD even when it not related to my heart condition. It has made things like taking a nap (breathing Obsession) far more difficult than it should be and finding an app with therapists and community based around OCD will hopefully help me combat the condition and also help my general health.
