So yes i admit, i am not being as honest and open about my OCD as my blog implys to be honest.

One friend of mine happened to see me mention my blog and asked if she could read it? i trust her enough to say she can and gave out the link etc and one of the first things she said to me was

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

my imediate response was

"I dont really tell anyone about it apart from my parents"

So there it was, as open as i am being about my OCD to people on Twitter and whoever shares it on Twitter i am not really being honest about it to the people closest to me, so the question is why not? and that is when we come back to the reasons that OCD and other Mental Health issues are not talked about more.

People will react like i am a weirdo?

It will be very embarassing to open up about :(

People will see me differently in a negative fashion? are the usual classic responses i am sure all Mental Health sufferers have had.

Even my OCD shouts not to tell anyone. So the question is do i stay just opening up about my OCD on twitter but not in my private life?

Or do i blurt this link out on Facebook and let everyone see, a massive can of worms to open but nothing that i am ashamed of, nothing i SHOULD be ashamed of is more my thinking right now.
