Welcome to our blog which is all about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Here we hope to help each other grow and manage our OCD by learning everything we can about it and sharing skills learned that will make us the boss of our minds once again.
If you are reading this, you must have a connection to this illness and have a desire to learn more. I know from experience though, that it can effect more than just yourself. So I hope that not only will those who suffer from OCD join our community but anyone who is apart of your recovery or loved ones who want to help. All are welcome and we even encourage this so that you are not dealing with this heavy burden all on your own. It may be hard at first to open up to the people around you but the advantages of having help in dealing with your OCD is sure to sway you to choose to find someone to confide in.
This blog is made for everyone. Meaning, once everything is set up further, we hope to have people write in to us questions for a weekly posts and also hope that eventually you all will start to feel safe enough to share your own stories here or personal creative aspects you have done that displays what OCD is to you.
By now, most of you know that OCD is not only tenacious and controlling but also it can be very different from person to person. That is what makes it hard to diagnosis. All of us suffer from this disorder but we all have our own battles we wage against it due to the need to customize how we react to our illness with different obsessions and compulsions. The hope is that by standing up and talking about what we go through, we can help others still silently struggling or even start to break apart all the complex ways that makes up this disease.
Right now may be hard, but we all have dreams and hopes that push us to keep going. To fight against the restraints that OCD tries to bind us in. But sometimes it helps to have others to talk to who know the ins and outs of this disorder to help you. Some days all you need to hear is that - Yes! It is possible because look... - or just that even when you are stuck there is always a way out.
This blog is going to be public. Most posts will be done by our team of writers who deal with OCD too and have gotten through the worst of it. Other times we might post articles on things that could help in your life or events near you that you can take apart of. This is just going to be a home-base of sorts, for you all to find things or send in your own work to be posted. So ask your question, comment, subscribe, follow us on the AOCDF website, or write about your own story and send it in.
Anything is possible!
