OCD Is Not Neatness It Is A Legitimate Illness

OCD is not neatness it is a legitimate illness

It is not fun
It is not strange
It is not quirky
It is not stupid

• It is having to repeat a simple task over and over just to lessen the crippling anxiety.

• It is avoiding situations that make the intrusive thoughts manifest more than usual, even if one doesn’t really want to avoid the said situation.

• It is knowing that one’s thoughts are rational but not being able to stop or the feelings of panic and dread will overtake one’s mind.

• It is having that panic and dread run one’s Ste no matter how hard they try to not let it.

Stop stigmatizing and romanticizing OCD
