everyone is sharing some of their story so here’s a bit from mine  i started developing ocd-like behaviour and subsequently the condition itself at around age 9  it was disruptive but just a part of my life all throughout my childhood and teenage years  there are many examples of this but the most recent i can remember is that while doing my 2 years of university i would struggle to submit my assignments without it being the ‘right’ time on the clock   it wasn’t until i finished up with uni and then started a job which i quit after 3 months due to moral issues with the work that i had nothing to do for the first time ever and had my first proper mental breakdown  ocd can be bubbling under the surface for a lot of people they might not realise even themselves until it’s all they have to think about  edit thanks for the reminder that it’s mentalhealthawarenessmonth i wasn’t aware
