At the tail end of last year one of our forum users submitted these excellent images she created.
Jenn Laureen went on to tell us "Thank you very much for allowing me to share these, I found drawing these helped me express how the ocd makes me feel, much better than writing it or talking about it."
The image on the right is called Guarded Happiness. My thoughts at times are so intrusive, that when trying to think peaceful and happy things from my heart, my OCD is still there to throw something negative in it, it's still trying to keep me from it.

1. The Bully
Image 1 is called The Bully, Even when I'm at my lowest and most desperate, It still pushes me around and Demands I follow it's rituals.
2. The Watcher
Image 2 is called the Watcher, I'm trying to go out into the world or spend time with my boyfriend, and although not as intense, The OCD is still lurking behind.
Note that the OCD figure I've portrayed is dark and resonates alot of black and grey around him. This is to symbolize that it has alot of energy and is very strong, Whereas the figure portrayed as myself has no aura and is a dark kind of blue, This is to symbolize that it has taken my energy and I'm at a low point in my life. The swirl in the centre of the ocd figure in these pictures symbolizes it's nature to suck away all my energy.
3. Where is my Identity
Image 3 is called Where is my Identity, My OCD sometimes tricks me into thinking that I'm becoming all these terrible things, and when touching the mask I get scared that this is really my face. Alot of times I will invision tearing this mask off and having it break once it hits the ground.
