i’ve been struggling for most of my life with my ocd because my family was one of those that said shit like“psychiatry is a pseudoscience and therapy is for weak people” i finally gathered the courage to go to a psychiatrist my final year of college at the age of 21 to get treated i’m finally on medication and going to therapy and i feel like i can actually live my life now i had no idea it was ocd and never even thought it could be because  of the damaging stereotypes of the disorder  my heart aches for those that are currently suffering without any idea of what’s going on with them it’s only been about 9 months being treated and i feel much more functional even though i still struggle sometimes
