I think the older generations were never truly diagnosed with it bc the doctors didn’t realize it wasn’t just anxiety. They maybe couldn’t get the right help and some in denial. It took me forever to get a therapist to diagnose me and I knew I had it as a teen but it wasn’t talked about as much then. I was textbook OCD yet constantly told I’m just anxious and/or a hypochondriac bc I “thought” I had OCD…

Same in my family. So many memebers have it (or really bad mental health in general) and they just pushed it away and made it seem like they were “weird”.

@workingonthings I know. My parents (mostly my Mom) just doesn’t want to talk about it at all, so I can’t even bring up that I’m crying because my ocd is bad
