I had a massive (and unfortunately ongoing) OCD relapse in February this year so 2021 for me has been pretty awful. Christmas is a challenging time for me as it brings up a lot of unpleasant memories. I’ve felt felt isolated in many respects this year – no support from mental health services or even my own family – so I’m not really in a festive mood. I’m not miserable “by nature” but it’s been a horrible year due to OCD.
