If everyone out there with ocd can just be brave and ask people in your family, especially those you’re really close to, to understand and help with your ocd, you’d be surpised what a difference it will make in your life!
People in your family can be a positive cheerleader for you when ocd gets scary.. You can ask them to help with simple things, like taking you to the doctor or do your shopping. They can help you be positive about ocd, and those around you too. It is a personal decision to ask family for help, but I don’t need to tell you what a huge difference it’s made to my life with ocd. If we know people love us, there is always hope for the future and a reason to stay positive. Remember your family has your best interests at heart, and they can be your best friends too!
