Why calling yourself 'a bit OCD' is more harmful than you think: OCDawarenessweek
– and your words have the potential to do more harm than you might expect.
But it’s just not as simple as that. The obsessions experienced by people living with OCD are driven by such intense fear and anxiety that they’re often completely unavoidable., I know how to coach myself through periods of obsession and anxiety . But previously, my compulsions ranged from flooding myself with positive thoughts of the future or making sure I was never alone “just in case” I suddenly became suicidal.
In my case, getting a diagnosis was hard, because both myself and the people around me had never heard of pure or harm OCD before. My courage to speak to the GP about what I was experiencing only came when I discovered a YouTube video of someone giving a speech about harm OCD. The video gave me the words I needed to describe my experience to the people around me, describe it to my GP, and the courage to leave that GP when they refused to listen to me.
