OCD is not just about wanting things clean…

It’s absolutely debilitating.

It’s intrusive thoughts you can’t control.
It’s immediately thinking the worst in every situation.
It’s panicking when someone doesn’t text back because your brain convinced you something tragic happened.
It’s convincing yourself that if you don’t do something a specific way, something bad will happen.
It’s rituals that steal your time.
It’s fear that steals your peace.

OCD isn’t “quirky.”
It isn’t “fun.”
It’s real. It’s heavy. And it deserves awareness.

Check on your friends who live with it.
Stop joking about something that isn’t a joke.
And start listening to the people who are fighting battles you can’t see.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🩷 Breast Cancer Awareness: Early Detection Matters 🩷

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women in the United States, with 1 in 8 women diagnosed during their lifetime.
Regular screening is one of the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early, when treatment is most successful.
When found early, the 5-year survival rate is approximately 99%.

We encourage all women to:
✔ Stay up to date on recommended mammogram screenings
✔ Perform monthly self-breast exams
✔ Discuss personal risk factors with their healthcare provider
