OCD & ADHD
Just when having OCD is already a lot to deal with, ADHD comes along to make it that much worse. Disorders often donโt come alone, and itโs not uncommon to have 2-5 conditions. When you have a combination like OCD + ADHD, it can be a real struggle. Having ADHD makes it hard to focus or impossible to lose focus at different times. Both of those mental states create the perfect environment for OCD to thrive. Compulsions often pop up when I'm overwhelmed, and when i have them it can be nearly impossible to stop myself. Getting professional treatment and medication has been the best decision i ever made, but it is all still difficult to live with. I am still working on creating an environment and routine where i can feel comfortable, and i am sending my love and hope to anyone struggling with the same things.
