I look forward to coming to this forum, because it gives me a sense of calm. I take small steps on the journey to getting better; I’m not making huge progress but don’t feel concerned. However I still feel some shame telling others I have OCD. I look forward to one day not being but totally consumed by what the world thinks. We shouldn’t be embarrassed at having ocd, it’s that simple. We should be confident and accept our lives and appreciate good changes we’ve made over the years. We can show to the whole world that we’re strong enough!
