How do you guys go about explaining your OCD to people? I’ve isolated myself so much the last 6 months and when I start getting back to my “normal life” I want to be able to explain my experience in a not so crazy sounding way even though it’s a pretty effing crazy thing to go through lol. Thanks for any suggestions!

I just say I have ocd but not cleaning excessively its were I obsess over peoples safety so much its worse with people closest to me and who I love very much. Then if they ask more questions I just say my mind plays over the most awful situations in my head what could happen and I find them so real and cant just shrug them off like most people.xx

I don't explain unless I totally trust the person. If not I would just say I have been feeling very low
