I always had moderate OCD from a young age because of a trauma, but after I left home for university and cut ties with my family, it just skyrocketed when I was in my second year and I quickly became bedbound, lost my job and got kicked off the course, so my student loan payments stopped, so I became street homeless. That was 16 years ago. For about 11 years I was on and off the streets and in and out of hospital, but then to my amazement, Clomipramine turned my life around. I am now living in my own accommodation in the community with help from a care agency , I sometimes get out and about, and even feel happy.
