I think the answers aren’t the thing at all actually. For an ocd sufferer, I mean. I think… as always and before, it is wholly down to the chemical imbalance and at an extremely insular part of the brain. So, yeah. As a result it plays will all of your emotions and mixes them up completely and in a way that feels like you’re living in the twilight zone. Or whatever place is scary as hell. Honestly, and I do think I have a right to say this, but truth told, it’s unbearable. For any sufferer. You’re left with no real part of your functioning brain properly functioning. That’s.. disgusting a thing to experience. Purely disgusting and mentally taxing to a point of utter exhaustion. But none of what I or any other sufferer writes will ever suffice as any kind of an explanation for what we have to go through. It’s.. despicable and certainly stands in your way of leading a normal life. Normal is so, so, so very far from what, at its most simple explanation, this particular imbalance does to said sufferer. Even on your greatest day you might still be just a tiny unsuspecting shock away from falling apart. That’s just how it is. It’s the most ludicrous brain imbalance I can imagine anyone having to deal with. It’s almost laughable when you think about what it does to a person. Laughable and intriguing only so long as you’re not stuck in it. But I’m still waiting with abated breath for it to make me, me 😊 because it has given me a ridiculously analytical brain and I adore that part of it all. To be fair… However, of course I’d give all of the words in the world away not to have had it since I was eleven 😮 That has to be right up there as a highlighted sidebar with the definition for resilience. I dunno how but….. 💪
