I resisted the 'inspiration' and 'courageous' label too, but reread what you said...
...people just don't understand what really goes on in our war both physically and emotionally for those with OC and for their caregivers and families.
Think about that for a second. With all that you've been through and yet, here you are! You didn't give up, you're determined to encourage others and show people that this disease is survivable! If that isn't inspiring, I don't know what it.
