    Honestly me too. They make it sound like it's some quirky thing and it's not.

    It’s so annoying. These types of ignorant people think that ocd is a “perfectionist” medical illness when in reality it’s just your mind telling you to do certain things religiously or something might “happen”. These types of people never understand

    I've gotten that quite a few times, especially in school. People who say things like that usually have very little to no education about the disorder and how it effects people

    I hate it. I don’t tell many people because that’s a popular response.

    I think I've grown used to the way people respond to OCD because I've heard it so many times, but it's still frustrating when it gets through my mental barriers. I think my biggest issue with talking about OCD is that nobody takes it seriously. I have many conditions and it's one of the few that's nearly managed to kill me - via my intrusive thoughts leading to suicidal ones

    I explain what it actually means to have ocd because they may not be educated on what it really means if they are educated though then I'd leave

    I hate it when people misuse the term OCD. Like babe I can’t control my thoughts and actions and you just like things to be clean???

    I like to ask who diagnosed them and what type of therapy has been working.
