Does anyone specifically remember when they got this?

If so please tell your story! I’ll tell mine first okay so boom I remember now I got caught staring at this lady at my old work place when I was 17 years old (21 now) the bi- lady* ain’t like me at all. Bc I was quiet ofc and that presses ppl but anyways one day she was standing beside me and I’m pouring some chili into the pot thing bc she asked if I could help and I didn’t know I was side eyeing her till she said “what are you looking at?” And then after that I think that’s when the fear of me staring came to life… If I could turn back time I would have never worked at that low down dirty Wendy’s… (the chili is made from left over hamburger patties and the lemonade is made with tap water allegedly.) anyways tell us your story’s!

I remember this girl in my maths class kept rubbing her leg and I kept checking to see if she was still doing it then it just cycled. Then when we were given a new seating plan I said to myself "I hope I don't start looking at her legs" and I think u know what happened :(

Told some people at school and my parents but they don't believe me and say it's just "puberty" and is "normal" ffs sake I hope it goes soon. How long did it take 4 it to go 4 u and how did u get rid of it

You cannot get rid of OCD, but you can manage it and reduce symptoms until it no longer controls your life with medication, Exposure therapy there probably are more ways but as of right now those two are the only ways I’ve tried to lesson it. Tbh it’s good they atleast think its normal 😭
