I am a Mom with OCD

I have suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder for a very long time. The thing about OCD is that most of the time the person suffering from this condition knows that the obsessions or compulsions do not make sense, however it is almost impossible to stop.

OCD makes me feel crazy. 

OCD makes me feel like I am out of control. It sometimes feels like I am a battle that I just cannot win. Recently, I have been able to get a better handle on my OCD monster. I think that is the key. Take control of the OCD and you will find that you can get control back, a little at a time.

While OCD makes me check, recheck, and sends me instrusive thoughts, I believe that it has also given me some very good qualities as well.
