Living with OCD often comes with a heavy dose of shame, not just from the thoughts themselves, but from how we react to them. Even when we know our intrusive thoughts are irrational, they can feel terrifying, confusing, or even disturbing. It’s hard to talk about it when you're afraid of being judged or misunderstood.
