OCD

[LoneWanderer]

I have OCD, its not a big case of it there are jsut certain things i CANT do, and things that have to be in order, but until now some people in school used to say to me 'only gay people have OCD' but since the TV show Skins first aired people havent been so harsh as Cassie (a main character) has OCD and is a great and popular character. I just think its good that TV shows are showing OCD not being a negative thing.

It is definitely a good thing that the media is moving away from portraying disorders like OCD in a wholly negative way. Your first-hand experiences of the change in peoples attitude will hopefully be mirrored around the country :)

Like any mental illness it can be dealt with and you can live a perfectly normal life.
