About

To whom it may concern,

I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in 2016. I am still trying to discover what this means and who I am in the face of this illness. While living in the middle of this world in which we don’t talk about mental illness, I have felt unbelievably alone and I am sure I am not alone in that feeling. So here is where I will write about my life with OCD and Depression and Loss, what treatment is like and how OCD affects those around me. I may have OCD, but before I was diagnosed I knew very little about it; so I’m still learning and I thought here we could learn together. I need to talk about it so that I won’t be alone. Let’s start talking about it.

Love,

Me (Natalie)
