i am struggling

[Missjab]

With my OCD. I need to vent this out but it's really hard to find someone that truly understands my struggles. I am a recent cancer survivor and have an older brother that has schizophrenia... my OCD theme is afraid of psychosis/schizo. I hate that I am in true fear of ever developing it because I see the pain my brother goes through. But it's a real thing. It's like I don't know how to process his illness. Plus having gone through my own traumas with cancer and now being faced with OCD. Idk what to do. I feel so alone in this.

I can relate... my mom had a mental illness that included psychosis and I was always in f3ar of it happening to me...but he is your brother the person not to be boxed in with his as illness...just treat him like your brother th3 best you can...never define someone or yourself as an illness...having said that I know that's the key but I also know I don't always do it myself...I hope this helps
