Ep. 3. The OCD Gremlin

Here's what it feels like with OCD...

It's like you have a pesky gremlin whispering in your ear, telling you to do something over and over again. Now, this is in no way like somebody who hears voices, but it is like a gremlin in your head. It's like having an urge or compulsion to do something, whether that's to wash your hands, organize your soups, collect things, etc. For me, it was just moving through my day. I would try to get dressed and have to start over with better thoughts, go through doors with better thoughts, etc. I eventually started calling it "bing-bonging." I would have to "rewind," if you will, and get the thought right. My fears revolved around death and numbers. Everyone with OCD has a different way that OCD manifests for them. However, the horrible feeling is the same.
