It's a very simplistic view of OCD that doesn't really honor the lived experience of people who struggle with it every day of their lives.
Imagine feeling like your mind is playing tricks on you, bombarding you with thoughts you can't control. In this episode of the 'Safe Home Podcast', Beth sits down with Katherine Osborne, a family friend who opens up about her journey with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Katherine, recently diagnosed, shares her experiences to shed light on what living with OCD truly feels like, beyond the memes and jokes that often trivialize it.
She describes the daily battle with intrusive thoughts and the compulsions that momentarily ease her anxiety but never fully silence it. The conversation dives into the misconceptions surrounding OCD, highlighting how these misunderstandings can make an already challenging condition even harder to bear. Katherine's story isn't just about struggle; it's also about resilience and finding ways to cope. She talks about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on her mental health and how she navigates the added stress.
With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, this episode offers a compassionate look at OCD, aiming to foster understanding and support for those affected. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that might just change the way you think about OCD.
