I am a woman with OCD that is working on overcoming this disorder by all means possible.  I was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 12 although early memories tend to point towards times of OCD tendencies my whole life.  It was only at the age of 12 that it completely disrupted my life and the life of my family that there was NO way to ignore something was “wrong”.  I have had many ups and downs and with this downturn I decided to learn new ways to deal with my OCD and it has brought great satisfaction to me finding out through this trial the comfort and satisfaction it gives me to express myself in writing.

I have many goals in writing this blog.

1) reach out to others and let them know… they are NOT ALONE.

2) help myself to heal and move along despite having OCD

3) educate others that do not have OCD that it is not a disorder of weak-minded people but one of strong, compassionate, intelligent, creative, and lovable people who you could meet on the street and have no idea “there was something wrong”.
