This piece was inspired by my own struggles with diagnosed OCD. I've struggled with this issue for as long as I can remember, mostly centered around germs and emetophobia, which is the extreme fear of vomiting. It only took until I was in my mid-30s and pregnant with my second child before I was able to figure out what it was. It got to the point that it was impacting my day-to-day, and I knew I needed to get help. It's never too late to get help. I started Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) during my second pregnancy, and it has helped tremendously.
