and my mission to help you navigate it
At 15 years old, I was hit with an especially severe subtype of OCD known as POCD.

hellooo,
Originally from the UK, living in Mexico for over four years now. OCD took over a huge portion of my life at 15, and since then I've moved through several different subtypes, some far harder than others.
Recovery for me isn't about erasing OCD, it's about learning to live alongside it, and helping other women feel less alone while they do the same.
What She Fears is a safe space for women navigating OCD to feel less alone, and to better understand how it affects us throughout our cycles. I've had my fair share of moments where I felt there was nowhere to turn, and I know a community of like-minded women, with similar struggles, would have helped me in so many ways. I created this space out of love, in hopes of giving other women a small light in their own tunnel to recovery. So whether you're struggling with OCD, or any mental health challenge for that matter, I absolutely welcome you to subscribe.
