Stopped working a couple years ago after several psychotic breaks. I was the absolute best worker I could be, was rapidly promoted, but it all just crashed one day and I could not recover. You're the first ocd speaker that's really enunciated the feelings I've had. The hiding of compulsive behavior. Stay strong, you're doing so much good in the world.

why do women always insist on bad things needing to be good things? "it's not a disease; it's part of my journey." no, it's a disease and it sucks. drop your pride and just admit when bad things are bad things. your life doesn't need to boil down to a saying in a hallmark card or lifetime christmas special.

I get what you're saying. I think it can be endearing sometimes but most of the time it comes off as annoying. I think because the people saying it usually don't mean it. And they say it because they think that's what we wanna hear.

Why punch down, she's already going through things, no need to diminish her message with a misogynistic critique.

@@doindaworst5824 I didn’t realize that was misogynistic. I have OCD and I’ve been seeking a lot of support from friends and family. Probably 20+. Im very open about my condition. And I’ve noticed a pattern of advice that I tend to get from women. Maybe some people might find it empowering and helpful. But it hasn’t helped me. Is that misogynistic?
