OCD is a treatable condition, why suffer?
OCD & Related Behaviors / by brightTangerine5535

...See more I am a therapist.  My mother suffered from OCD all of her adult life.  Sadly, she never saught help. She lead an unhappy and out of control life.  She couldn't have successful relationships with anyone.  In addition, my mother obsessed over waste of time nonsense that got her nowhere in life except trouble. She couldn't enjoy life.  Everything she did was always overdone.  She squandered money, was always in financial straights.  She couldn't have a stable marriage or even a friendship due to this untreated disorder. My mother was also controlling and extremely jealous.  I believe this disorder masked those feelings of jealousy and anger towards others. That is why I tell anyone suffering from this disorder please get help before it's too late. Therapy and medication can help keep this disorder under control.  It can be the difference between a fulfilled life and a wasted life. Many times family and friends abandon a person with OCD.  This is because the person can no longer tolerate the stress this illness causes.  Therefore, the only option is to sever all ties with the person suffering from untreated OCD .
