Description This print is about my brother who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Again, my scanner sucks and picks up more texture than your eye really does. Look better in life.

hey, i suffer from OCD and this touches me. it's really relatable, and also strikingly similar to a piece i have done: innsjo.deviantart.com/art/cons… ...maybe not crazy similar, but same idea. i think it's the best way to illustrate it.

Oh, that's me. I can't go to school since February. I'm doing treatment now, but I don't know if I will get well. It's very sad. I think my friends don't remember me anymore. And my dream to be a great mangaka or designer is going to the well.
Now I'm only waiting. I don't know what I'm waiting, but is something that will change my life.

good luck to you.

for my brother it was a very scary few years, but now four years later he is set to graduate, and with regular therapy and medication you would never know he had OCD most of the time and he is living a mostly normal life.

I have seen how hard it can be. I wish you well.

This is really EXACTLY how OCD feels. The thoughts come and they won't heave you alone. It's like being attacked and you're helpless against your own brain. I really hope your brother can cope and get better. It's a lifelong struggle, but well...I think life is worth it.

Gladly! Thank you for making such a piece of art. It makes me feel like I'm not alone, and I'm sure you feel the same when people comment and tell you that they can relate. It's a very positive artistic statement.

This is really touching. I have OCD and that is exactly how I think of it: as a monster attacking my brain. Your brother is really lucky to have someone so understanding and supportive.
