Thanks for everything you do to make me feel self conscious. I have anxiety and hand washing OCD and it’s something that I can’t control. Yes I do take medicine, yes it does help, no it will never go away. It’s something that is always going to be with me and if you don’t like it don’t say anything at all. It’s not like I chose to have this so when I’m freaking out about something that most people would never think twice about, just know that deep down I know I shouldn’t be terrified, but I am, and I can’t help it. But you can help me. Comfort me and let me know that it will be ok and that I don’t need to wash my hands a second time. That I’m not going to die from touching bleach. That I won’t get sick from taking two types of medicines at once. That I won’t throw up from getting near a sick person. That I’m not being stared at as I throw away my lunch. Please stop assuming that you know everything that I’m going through. Please instead just let me know that I am ok. That I am safe. Don’t let this control me.
