...See more I have OCD for quite a while, I lost my brother to AIDS when I was 12, and I’ve kind of been obsessed with HIV ever since. The last few years I’ve developed a phobia of needles, to the point where I find it hard to leave my house and go into publics places, in fear that someone might stab me with a dirty needle. I’m fully aware of how irrational this sounds, but it’s seriously uncomfortable. The OCD definitely drives the depression I feel, and obviously the anxiety also! I’m exhausted.
