I hope to pass along what I learned to help others avoid the mistakes Ive made. OC is a horrible disease that causes patients to suffer so much. Its not just hard on the body, mentally its just as difficult to get thru. Being able to connect with others who have been in the same situation can make a huge difference to patients who are struggling. Its ok to lean on us to get thru the worst of it. We get it and are here for you and everyone else who needs us. Best wishes with your continued recovery
