    This isn't exactly portraying OCD very well. What about the obsessive thoughts that drive us sufferers to actually do these things. That's the whole idea

    The thing that bothers me is that people say that they have OCD, when they don't even realize what it is and real people like me suffer from the anxiety of an organization disorder like OCD

    When I only saw one toothbrush in the cup, that just shredded me

    I DO NOT HAVE OCD, BUT I HAVE ANXIETY DISORDERS. IN MY CASE THE VOICES ARE CONSTANT, AND IS UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE SOMETIMES HAVE INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS AND PEOPLE STARES AT ME. DEPRESSION IS PART OF ME, BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING MY FAMILY DID NOT UNDERSTAND ME, DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THINGS AND THOUGHTS THAT HAPPEN IN MY HEAD CONSTANTLY.

    I do the door thing but I lock the door then keep trying to open the door to see if it's locked and with my room door I close it and bang on it to make sure I can't function if I don't I'll worry about it.

    I should have ended with him finding another girl with OCD
  • @desmondwaves
    Wow seeing this makes me feel bad for people with OCD. I could never imagine living with OCD, it would be like living in a nightmare. Doing everything in a even orderly way, wow. I hope one day there is a cure for this and can help many people.

    I have ocd and I don't experience any of that. I had irrational thoughts that I was lesbian and thoughts of killing 😕
