This is so relatable. Thank you for writing about this!! I say to my partners sometimes I just don’t have enough energy to run “anti-OCD” software at certain moments- because I’m mentally ill, and that’s okay.

Although I don't have OCD, this was super encouraging to read, as there are other things I self-stigmatize myself for. Thank you very much for writing and sharing this, Allison!

I'm so glad it was helpful! And I think you're right that self-stigma is wide reaching but never helpful! xoxo A
