Why do people still think going to therapy means you’re “psycho”? Therapy isn’t weakness or craziness it’s taking care of your mental health. I wrote about the stigma around therapy and why we need to normalize asking for help. https://t.co/eUpYkdJefo
One of the most important things to understand about OCD:
Having an intrusive thought doesn't mean you want it.
You can have a horrible thought and still be a good person.
The thought came into your mind.
You didn't choose it
OCD is not just:
“Everything has to be clean.”
Sometimes it's:
“What if I made a mistake?”
“What if something bad happens?”
“What if that thought means something?”
“What if I'm not 100% sure?”
OCD can turn uncertainty into an emergency.
