OCD

I have always been so smart, straight A's, dancer, nothing wrong with me. But when I was only eleven I developed OCD. Obsessive thoughts filled my brains, I couldn't sleep at night I was anxious all the time. Intrusive mantras filled my head, and to cancel them out I would knock on wood. One hundred times an hour, constantly thinking constantly knocking, I couldn't stop. I hid it from everyone. If I need to touch the cold wooden floor, I would drop a pencil, and pretend to be picking it up. OCD took over my life.
