I’m a young man of twenty year’s old, living outside of the united states, I found out this page on line as I was seeking for help and support; I have been struggling with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), I think caused by long periods of anxiety and depression in my life, I have never been the cheerful guy who makes everybody laugh, but I used to be the guy whom my friends ask for advice and run for shelter, they saw me as a strong person, trustworthy and brave; I am no longer that person, and the OCD has taken over me, I do things repeatedly, I am always concerned about germs and virus, I wash my hands all the time, I can’t help think bad things or sad things when I have no reason to be doing that, I plan things and expect them to be exactly as I planned, I check doors and locks over and over, I eat whenever my mood changes, and I have not been able to sleep well throughout this year; I want to that sweet, warn and loving person I used to be, I want to help others with the struggle too, I find talking, “chatting” very helpful as a therapy, I do like to listen to people and help, that’s makes me feel valuable and caring, if any of you need to be listened, you have me here, willing to listen, feel free to send me a private message, I would love to hear advices from you, and I wish the best for everyone here.

Young Man 20.
