My mental health journey -  I was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 16, along with Major Depression, anxiety, and depersonalization.  It took me a long while to overcome this and I still have to fight today.  I find that reaching out to others and being open and honest is very important.  Hearing each others story and learning from one another is very critical I believe  Feel free to reach out to me on my Contact page and we can share and talk together.
