--------- EPISODE SUMMARY----------

And welcome back to our podcast, where real talk and raw experiences take center stage. This time around, we're opening up about the complexities of living with OCD and the compulsive behaviors that tag along. Listen in as I share my own battles with numerical obsessions and the quirks that come with it, like the time I counted someone's repetitive apologies. It's a glimpse into the mind of someone managing this condition, aiming to bring a better understanding to what many misconceive about OCD.

Our conversation shifts to the intricacies of navigating life with OCD, reflecting on my younger years where I sought to quantify life in an attempt to control chaos. We talk about how the pursuit of perfection impacts everything from social interactions to personal relationships, often leading to a feeling of isolation. You'll hear about the weight of negative self-image, the shame that can come with the condition, and the intense struggle to maintain a semblance of normalcy amid rituals and compulsions that can dominate our lives.

In the latter part of our discussion, we pull back the curtain on the emotional toll OCD can take, discussing how the disorder can turn even the simplest tasks into procrastination minefields, and sometimes with severe consequences. I open up about my brush with the law, brought on by the overwhelming need for control that OCD instills. We also touch on the beauty and intensity of relationships when you're living with OCD, offering an authentic perspective on the commitment and challenges faced. Tune in for a heartfelt episode that not only explores the hurdles but also celebrates the strength and resilience of those living with OCD.
