I have trauma-induced OCD. If I am in a PTSD episode I also have OCD symptoms. If I had OCD symptoms every hour of every day I don't think I'd survive. OCD takes over your life and brain. For me, the obsessions rule me and the rituals only create moments of relief and the obsessions start all over again. People with true OCD suffer tremendously. I'm fortunate that my obsessions don't control me outside a PTSD episode. I know someone who's OCD was so severe she almost killed herself. It wasn't until she was inpatient that her OCD got addressed. It's awful the diagnosis falls through the cracks.
