Mental Health Awareness | I Have OCD
In honor of mental health awareness month, I wanted to reflect on my own journey with mental health as a whole, and especially OCD. My whole life I have struggled with anxiety and depression, but I just recently was also diagnosed with OCD. There is a lot of stigma, stereotypes, and misinformation out there regarding OCD and I wanted to share my experiences with it day to day. It is debilitating at times.
Mental health is also a huge issue in the Huntington's Disease community, another diagnosis I received five years ago, so this is very near to my heart.
I also touch on the tragic loss of former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst. She is a tragic but true example that mental health does not discriminate and even the most ambitious, beautiful, and successful people can be struggling without anyone knowing. No one knows the demons you may battle everyday. Be kind. That might be the one thing that keeps someone here today: a simple act of kindness and understanding.
