i have ocd since i can remember and severe obsessions and compulsions for 14 years to this date im receiving therapy and medicine but what i want to tell to everybody is  when explaining ocd to any people that you know its important to understand that nobody will feel ocd the same as you explain a little or inform what you are feeling just dont expect to have everyone in your head sharing your thoughts and understanding them the best option is going to a doctor and receive therapy and help you need  but what i have learned in these years is that ocd doesnt need an explanation give it the same attention that you will do to something you dont care or is irrelevant its going to be difficult but you fight ocd all the day and that means hope  ps sorry about my bad grammar
