OCD isnt an adjective used to describe someone.
Its a legitimate anxiety disorder, a mental illness.
One that affects so many people in so many real ways.

I can tell you from personal experience that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder isnt funny.
Its isnt a cute quirk, not something that you’re free to turn on and off.
It was an endless routine of nonsensical patterns and counting and tapping and avoiding.
Those thoughts, those obsessions and compulsions, had me wondering what was wrong with me.
My OCD told me I was crazy, made me feel guilty for acts I hadnt even committed.
It told me that I was in the possession of a brain that was broken and malfunctioning.

My OCD was never about being extremely neat and tidy the way most people think it would be.
you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about.
Because OCD isnt an adjective used to describe someone.
Its a legitimate anxiety disorder, a mental illness.
One that affects so many people in so many real ways.
Most days I feel fine and forget about it.
OCD is real and its painful and not in the least funny.
So c’mon, dont say you have OCD when you know you dont.
Because in reality, you cant even comprehend how it feels to struggle with it.
