Jennie wants to share her experience and struggles with OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Although people might assume that OCD is all about keeping things neat and tidy, OCD can affect people in different ways. For Jennie, her OCD made her feel like she always had to keep things "even." For example, if Jennie saw two books on a table that weren't perfectly lined up and "even," Jennie would feel the need to rearrange the books and fix their position. However, it wasn't as simple as just moving the books around - Jennie had a whole system for fixing things that wasn't always easy to explain to other people.
Because of her OCD, Jennie felt like she had to do certain things and complete specific tasks to feel at peace. Although she was right-handed, she decided to go an entire year using her left hand to do things so that her left side was even with her right side. Then, once the year had passed, she felt like she had to use both her right and left hands equally to keep things balanced and fair. It was extremely difficult for her, and it started to really impact her days at school, time with friends and overall daily life.
Her OCD felt like it was only getting more difficult to handle. She started to count all of her body movements, and she felt like she had to keep track every time she would breathe or blink. She began to feel like someone was listening to her thoughts, and if she didn't think or feel the right thing, she may be punished.
Finally, Jennie decided to talk to her parents and explain how she was feeling. They brought her to a counselling, and a counselor was really able to help her. Now, Jennie doesn't feel so overwhelmed by her disorder. Jennie wants other people to know how important it is to NOT suffer in silence, and she hopes her story can help someone who may also be struggling with OCD.

Oh crap, I always think someone is listening to my thoughts and at random times I scream really loudly in my head and look around to see if anyone jumped, I also used to do everything evenly (I don’t do that as much any more thankfully)
I don’t if this is OCD, but if things aren’t a certain way for me, I literally have a heart attack...
i have the "everyone is watching your thoughts" or something like that
This is making me think I have ocd now
I like doing stuff like shrug over and over again and stuff and if I do one extra in one shoulder it would bother me slightly that they're not even and I'd have to shrug the other one twice to feel like it's complete. I hope this isn't bad ;-;
I totaly have that..
Yey
I have ocd too OMG finally someone I can relate to but I don't count my blinks
I have ocd and i have never told my family so i will tell them
I sometimes feeling uncomfortable everything not alligned, I didn't say I have OCD
i have OCD but our house is sitll messy
Well I have ocd then
Oh shit I think I have ocd
Imagine having ocd, just chill stop having anxiety over everything
Teacher: Why were you absent for two weeks?!
Girl: I had a seizure because of my OCD...
Girl with size 13 MENS nike: Am i a joke to you??
This doesn’t even go into intrusive thoughts. I suffer with a subset called POCD and it’s hell to be in my own head sometimes. Living with OCD is rough. Don’t try to handle it alone, support from others will go a very long way to help.
THIS IS ME OMG MY MOM THINKS IM FAKING IT AHHHH
I had this weird habit of touching the door's handle many times until I was satisfied before sleeping, Or else I would die sleeping. 😂😂
I still have it but it used to be terrible
I don’t have medically diagnosed or self diagnosed OCD, but uneven things tick me off, like my binder and agenda have a size difference and they’re never lined up. Gets annoying.
I think I might have this type of OCD but my family would never believe me. 😔
Umm this is not what I thought some OCD people actually live like this
I actually suffer the same things you do
I have OCD too, and it really sucks. I especially *hate* it when people say they have OCD and I believe them. Mine isn't this severe but a example is if i step on a crack on the pavement or something I need to go down to the beginning of the road and start again. Praying 🙏 for you!
*Monica and Sheldon want to know your location*
My ocd is the same thinggg
Three of my sisters had ocd
I literally have the same OCD you have 🥺
I think i have acd
Oops i ment ocd not acd
OMG IM THE SAME
Every time when someone touches my game and leave the room, and leaves the room I always clean it even when they are clean. Does that count as OCD.
God: *creates left and right hands*
Her: *only uses right hand*
God: "am i a joke to you?"
I have ocd but my parents don't believe me
Why do I feel like I do this (not as bad as hers tho)
Left hand..
It's an indian supertision
True because I only walk with my right leg when using the stairs
I have OCD too its not easy but I can live with it. I know how you feel

I also have the same problem
I have to keep things straight. And whenever I go into a store and one thing isn't with the right place. (Like a flamingo pin isn't with the other flamingo pin, but with the elephant pins) I would have to put the flamingo pin back with the others. That's my OCD
Wait me too
Dude this is me but something else it's a little different for me
Why she had 4 eyebrows ?
I struggle the same way too buts not bad
Ooooooooooooooof
That you so much I also have that and I thought that I was the only one but it's good to know that someone else also has it :)
My ocd is knoking on wood I simply can’t stop wait I have to knock three times of wait I knocked six now it has to be nine. It’s complicated
I like how these videos are real in like my story animated
Story booth: real life problems
My story animated: I eat scorpions for breakfast so I can get poisonous((real video btw look it up))
Story booth has the real deal other stories time have nonrealistic stories :>
Thanks to OCD I pick at my nails with pencil led
I have like a really really small ocd but it’s exactly like this one, except way smaller. it was worse when I was a younger but Ive gotten better :3
Oooooooohhh
So that's what I've been doing this whole time :0
Don't worry I have ocd 😁
Omg this is what I have and it’s so annoying and just the worst to deal with
I have been thinking about OCD because I'm pretty sure I have it and it's horrible and time consuming to live with and I just told my parents and I'm going to a doctor
I don’t know if I have OCD but the things she told in this story were somehow similar to what I do everyday
I have the same thing with my hands
I have ocd
I do have ODC
Yours basically the riddler.
I have ocd
