Hi Nikita
My name is Samantha and I have had OCD since I was 9. I'm now in college and doing well but things in my life have not always been so easy. The therapy, medicine, and workbook that I used helped me enormously and I continue to benefit to this day. My struggles were not easy at all and at times I wanted to give up but with the support of family and friends, I made it through. By focusing on my little accomplishments I began to believe more and more in myself which made all the difference. I just want to say thank you very much Nikita for what you are doing to help kids out there. OCD is nothing to be ashamed of and no one should feel afraid to talk about it. Thank you again!! :-)
Sincerely, Samantha
