I am not a victim, I am not a survivor. I am not a label. Everything that has happened in my life has made me who I am. I am a fighter.
My OCD Tribe Page- http://www.ocdtribe.com/kat3324
I am a case manager for a not for profit agency that deals with at-risk teens. I love working with those kids. I teach pregnancy prevention, safe sex practice, anger management, life skills, and the importance of education. Mostly I am just there, a source of support.
I have OCD, have had it for as long as I can remember, although it didn't dawn on me that that was what it was until about 10 years ago. I thought I was just a freak. I also have PTSD from some bad childhood experiences. I tend to have periods of severe depression. I call it 'functional depression'. Depression triggers OCD, the OCD causes the depression, and round and round we go. I am on Luvox for the OCD.
