I have had OCD since I was about 19... it was not a pretty picture... it was brought out by a trauma in my life which made me feel totally out of control with the world around me... it got much worse before ever getting better... I got so I could not function....then I got my sunshine pill zoloft which saved my life in more ways then one.... I started being able to fight the urges and obsessive thought... there was once again hope for my life....
With the support of AMAZING family and friends I have had a new shot at life... I am single mom but much happier then I have ever been before.... the important things are around me now...
This is not to say that I am free of ocd because that is far from true...it is still with me... and it comes up during stressful and difficult times very strong... but now I have the tools to fight back...
