介绍:
You may think OCD is about having to keep things clean and tidy all the time. But some people’s OCD is actually about keeping things even.
I was right-handed, and I very much favored my right hand. Anyway, when I was 10 years old, one day, I suddenly thought, what was I doing? Why was I completely leaving out my left hand? It felt like I needed to even things out to make it fair. That was when my OCD started, I guess.
OCD is awful to live with. If you think you may have OCD, talk to someone. Don’t keep it to yourself like I did. One day, I told my parents. They took me to a counselor. She really helped to improve how I was feeling. I hardly ever have to do any of my little OCD rituals anymore. I guess there is a lesson to this story - don’t suffer in silence.
你可能认为强迫症就是要一直保持东西干净整洁。但有些人的强迫症实际上是为了保持东西的平衡。
我是右撇子，我很喜欢用右手。总之，当我十岁的时候，有一天，我突然想，我在做什么？为什么我把左手给遗忘了呢？我觉得我需要让事情变得公平。我想我的强迫症就是从那时开始的。
有强迫症让生活变得很糟糕。如果你认为自己可能有强迫症，那就找人谈谈。别像我那样独自承担。有一天，我告诉了我的父母。他们带我去看咨询师。她真的帮助我改善了我的想法。我几乎不用再做任何我的强迫症惯例动作了。我想这个故事给了我们一个教训——不要默默承受。
