I wrote a new entry on my blog

Sand On My Toes http://wp.me/p2z4Qq-n

It kind of hurts to think about my past with OCD especially when I think about how much of my childhood I lost to it. I am still trying to find a way to be okay with it, and I think that me being okay with it - starts with sharing it, and trying to use my experience with it to end the stigma. It makes me feel like my past wasn't for nothing. Don't know if any of you ever feel like that?

Now that I know I have OCD the past is making sense for a change.  I always knew something was not "right".  But It took me 40 years to know what is wrong.  I couldn't believe when my psycologist told me I've got it.  I had post traumatic stress, OCD and manic depression.  3 in 1.  Now I'm only battling my OCD.  The stress and depression is fine.  Made peace with myself and the OCD.  J

i just read this blog and the others and they are beautifully written. at 7 years old i can't imagine what you were going through. my ocd started at a very late stage in my life. but i had a brother whose ocd started in childood and now i find myself wanting to understand why a small child suffers from this.  i'm wondering if there was one specific thing that triggered your ocd to be born. was your family very strict about going to church? were you the youngest child? i am also Catholic and i know the church, priests, and nuns can seem scary and a bit intimidating, especially for a small child.

I do I think about my life. My OCD started in College I couldnt touch things everything was dirty to me.  But when I was little I played in mud, dirt. now I cant touch the stuff just thinking about as I am writing makes me squirm. my OCD now keeps me from doing a lot of things I want to do. You wont catch me sitting out side on bench or grass I dont care if you got twenty blankets on grass its still dirty. Every day I try  to tackle my fears  by doing something I dont like and I journal about it. I dont want my OCD to take over my life and be in control of what I want to do.
