Re: Scared I'm Faking My OCD
Jamie, as someone who's read your stories for a few years on here, and the OCD diagnosis makes sense to me. I say this lovingly, but you're one of the most neurotic people I "know". One of my good friends has OCD. She was diagnosed when we were in college together, and it was life-changing for her. She's been on meds for almost 20 years now, and her life is more normal than mine, and I don't have an OCD diagnosis. I hope this helps you too.
Re: Scared I'm Faking My OCD
Hi there, thank you so much for the encouraging words. I hadn't realized that anyone actually recognized my username on here or was familiar with my posts - and that makes me feel a little less alone.
Looking back through my previous threads, you're right that historically I've been pretty neurotic. It's so easy to fall into impostor syndrome and feel like I don't actually "need" help, when in reality it will probably make all the difference.
I appreciate your consistency throughout the years and I hope that all is well with you:)
