There was a time after my daughter was born when my thoughts got so dark that I couldn't see a way forward.

The thing is, it wasn't postpartum depression, like you might initially think.

It was OCD, obsessive, compulsive disorder.

OCD is so misunderstood.

It's not about being neat or organized.

It's a serious condition that can be incredibly debilitating. OCD involves relentless,

unwanted, distressing thoughts called intrusive thoughts that latch onto things we care about the most,

and they feel totally out of character, which makes them even more terrifying. When those intrusive

thoughts hit, people with OCD often feel driven to do

mental or physical behaviors, replaying conversations, avoiding places or people, following rigid

routines, just to try to cope with the anxiety. It's exhausting and it can take over your life.

It's also why OCD so often goes hand in hand with alcohol use.

So many people end up drinking to cope.

But for up to 70% of people struggling with OCD and substance use,

the OCD symptoms started first.

Getting help for OCD saved my life,

and it's my mission that no one feels beyond help.

That's why I'm so excited to tell you about noCD.
