Camila Cabello Gets Candid About Battling 'Relentless' OCD: 'I Was Desperate for Relief'

She begins the essay by admitting the contrast between herand her real life, explaining that while she may appear happy and carefree in her frequent posts, more is going on away from the camera.

"Here’s what there ​aren’t​ pictures of from the last year: me crying in the car talking to my mom about how much anxiety and how many symptoms of OCD I was experiencing," wrote Cabello. "My mom and me in a hotel room reading books about OCD because I was desperate for relief. Me experiencing what felt like constant, unwavering, relentless anxiety that made day-to-day life painfully hard.

Cabello said she initially didn't want to tell anyone about having OCD because she was "embarrassed and ashamed" of feeling "at war" with her mind. "I didn’t want the people who thought I was strong and capable and confident — the people who most believed in me — to find out that I felt weak," she wrote. "The little voice in my head was telling me that if I was honest about my mental health struggle and my internal battles , people would think there was something wrong with me, or that I wasn’t strong, or that I couldn’t handle things.

Tearing up while reading this. I am so proud of U camila. Love U ❤️

She’s so incredible she deserves all good thing in the world 🥺❤️

as someone who also has ocd, i very much feel for her. also, it's a relief to finally have a story about someone who says they have ocd that is actually ocd and not what people without ocd think it is. it's obsessive compulsive disorder, not obsessive cleaning disorder.

🥺🙏🏻💗
