OCD is constantly seen as a cutesy/silly disorder or just another slang term. The few times that OCD is even portrayed in the media, it's usually inaccurate or glossed over as being a quirk. But all of those outlooks don't demonstrate what it means to actually have OCD; this blog does.
Please do not assume that I have all the answers when it comes to OCD. I am here as a source of peer support and education, but I am just one person, and I do not know everything ever about OCD. While I am working towards an advanced degree in school psychology, I am not a licensed clinical psychologist, nor am I qualified to directly treat OCD.
