Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I am a dance instructor, qualified Chef, a volunteer at a nursing home, a volunteer at the local primary school and studying to be a Primary school teacher (2 1/2 years to go YAY!)

I have had OCD all of my life and although I got frustrated, I didn't really care. I only just got diagnosed last year and my world crashed. My motto use to be "I have OCD, but OCD doesn't have me". But, now I'm not so sure.
I don't have the support of my family. Firstly because I haven't told them, but also because they don't really believe in mental illness. I look to my handy dandy internet to find out what the next step is.
Since I have found OCDtribe, I can already see the light. I have already made friends which makes me excited.

I try to be a good person, but it rarely works. I either get hurt or my bad temper comes out.

I'll try my best to surround myself in good people on here and hope that everything will change for the better.

When people notice me.
When I get a say.
Every season of the year, each one has a great quality.
Dancing, Cooking, studying, teaching...

Being pushed away and unnoticed, OCD, people that use me, being sick.
