OCD: Mental Health Matters // Thomas Smalley's Story

Thomas Smalley knew from from as early as 5th grade that he was different. He knew that daily impulses he would have were not like his friends. After being diagnosed with anxiety and depression he would eventually learn he had a disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Thomas spent much of his life not feeling understood, even though he had friends and family who loved and cared for him they didn’t understand these thoughts or impulses. Thomas made the brave decision to choose to get help and now works daily to resist the compulsions and come face to face with the fears he has in order to try to find freedom.

Thomas vulnerably shares his story in hopes that it brings awareness to OCD and the battle that many face with this disorder but also to bring hope to others who might be struggling through this and feel alone. His story shows that there is no limit to what you can do when you choose to find help and work hard to gain your identity.
