If you've ever struggled with your mental health, you'd probably agree with the fact that much of anxiety stems from doubt. Whether it's worrying about what others think of you, or worrying about what your thoughts mean about you, finding certainty is never guaranteed. This is the Just Say Maybe podcast, where we talk about OCD, anxiety, depression, and all things mental health. Sometimes, it's better to accept uncertainty and...just say maybe. Trigger Warning: This podcast contains mature themes and potentially triggering topics. Please seek professional help if you are in need of mental health assistance.

    Shaun: OCD Advocacy, Reclaiming Being "So OCD," The Need for Difficult Conversations

    Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Just Say Maybe Podcast!
    Today, I’m talking to Shaun Flores, who is an OCD advocate and TEDx speaker, among many other things. In this episode, we talk about Shaun’s experiences with Health Anxiety, Sexual Orientation OCD, Harm OCD, and how his upbringing and experiences have shaped these obsessions. We also talk about the importance of having candid discussions, even with, and especially with those we disagree with. This includes talking about if it’s OK to say you’re “so OCD” if you actually have OCD.I had a lot of fun talking to Shaun during this episode, and I hope you enjoy!
