What type of OCD do you wish people talked about more? What type of OCD deserves more attention?

I would just be happy if OCD was portrayed better. There’s so many different subtypes but it’s only eve portrayed in the same ways and usually it’s just the compulsiveness. I had NO clue I had OCD because I didn’t understand that it wasn’t just compulsive hand washing or organization. It can be much more. And not knowing you have OCD when you do is VERY alarming lol

@chancie: How did you find out that you had OCD

Yup @KatieKAT

I have just really tried to focus on allowing the thought to stay but living my life intentionally. Refocusing and doing what matters to me in the moment and not dwelling

i think ocd in general deserves more attention. i think people need to know that ocd is not just about washing hands or being neat because that’s what most people think it’s all about.

@KatieKAT I’ve just really been focusing on recognizing an obsession, transferring responsibility to God, and trusting in His mercy and Providence.

@KatieKAT I am a Christian too and I get a lot regarding my existence and the meaning of everything. It has attacked my faith as well

@Samantha20 i became very very depressed to the point where I was suicidal. I constantly felt doomed and that my life was over. I wasn’t able to stop crying and hyperventilating. I was always terrified but outwardly nothing was wrong. So I started seeing a counselor who told me I needed to see a psychiatrist to be diagnosed. She mentioned after our 2nd meeting that it sounded like OCD and she was right.
