im here not because i have ocd but because my so has it and i want to learn about it so i can be the best for him  its pretty hard to understand what ocd really means for someone who doesnt have it i read a ton of websites and im following this sub pretty much every day but i know i still dont get the full spectrum of all of this and i probably never will because its so different in every case and for each of you what makes it harder to understand what it means to suffer from ocd   kudos to all of you who are fighting you are stronger than you might think keep your heads up and dont get mad at people who dont understand encourage them to research and learn about how to help you have talkings with those you love about how you feel especially in situations where they make you feel uncomfortable or even angry if you dont say anything they cant think about it and change their minds if they dont change their minds it comes back to you in the next situation
