Have you ever heard about the woman who woke up in a cold sweat, like she just had a nightmare, but she knew what she saw while she was sleeping was more than just a bad dream?

Or the violinist who disappeared from the orchestra pit in front of thousands of people in the audience?

What about when a mark left behind it a crime scene led investigators to wonder if there were devil-worshipping occultists prowling their rural community.

fear that just haunts you? And you keep having intense, unwanted, sticky thoughts about it that

send your anxiety through the roof. Maybe you even feel a need to do certain

things like overthink, check, ask for reassurance, try to control situations, or follow specific

routines as a way of trying to make the fear and thoughts go away. I never knew that these things

could be a sign of OCD until I got help. And now I know I'm not the only one, which is why I

it's not a personality quirk, or a way to say that you just like being organized. It's a serious

condition involving persistent, unwanted thoughts and fears that cause you overwhelming

distress and behaviors you do to make the distress go away, which can really take over your life.

but because it's so misunderstood, many people who struggle with OCD don't even realize it.
