Though I learned how to live with OCD, my home has always been my shelter. Also as an introvert I loved being at home. I did not want to leave my home many times, but at least I could. With the outbreak of the pandemic everything has changed. One of my main OCD themes is the fear of germs, so I isolated myself. I had never spent so much time locked in with myself as I did during this period. My shelter wrapped me around, then swallowed up slowly. Though I am vaccinated, the world is reopened, I could go anywhere, but my home with my worsened anxiety of the outside world pulls me back.
