OCD: My Story

In this solo episode, I tell my OCD story from my heart. I divulge all the way in which OCD manifested itself in my life and wrecked havoc on my existence. Through my story, I dismantle the myths and misconceptions that surround the concept of OCD and shed light on the embarrassing, sometimes ridiculous ways in which it can dictate your existence. I also share how I have overcome my OCD and become stronger in the face of my Eating Disorder doing so.
