    A reminder to avoid stigmatizing language around mental health conditions… Calling yourself ‘ocd’ for being particular or detail-oriented adds to the stigma for people actually experiencing the serious mental health challenges of obsessive compulsive disorder. Please take this with love, as it’s meant to be a gentle nudge, not bullying or policing. 🙂

    • Tracy

      I understand what you are saying but I also have to note that your assumption that I do not have OCD is also problematic. I should not be shamed because I was being honest.

  • Alicia A

    As a woman dealing with mental health anxiety, I applaud Tracy for saying it out loud. Good for her…. yeah! It’s okay….we’re people too.
    BTW…. did you see the fish slippers? Cool!
