i spent 5 months in a combined patient mental hospital 80 general patients ie those with depression anxiety ptsd and 20 ocd patients the nonsense i had to listen to from the general patients was ridiculous “ocd i think i’ve got that i like to get all the water marks off the shower glass” “ i like to put the bins out at a certain time i’m ocd like that” unbelievable the problem is that the general public see ocd only as being over picky about something also had someone say to me “you ocd’ers are lucky you don’t have to suffer with depression” really i’ve got a little demon in my brain and you think i wouldn’t suffer depression like you unbelievable
