George Price isn\u2019t afraid to be vulnerable in sharing how he copes with his diagnoses of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).<\/p>\n

Telling his story to Blue Cross employees has helped George. It’s also helped others who may be facing similar challenges and don\u2019t know how to talk about them. We met up with George to see how he\u2019s doing and what his life has been like over the past year.<\/p>\n

In addition to dealing with the pandemic, George made it through his first year of marriage. Relationships can be challenging for people with OCD and ADHD, so this is a great milestone to celebrate.<\/p>\n

A mental health advocate<\/h2>\n

George is also proud of the Instagram page he started to promote OCD advocacy. George said, \u201cIt\u2019s just me being me. I share the emotions I\u2019m feeling \u2013 it could be tears or smiles or anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

George said he wanted to tell his story.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps me, and I hope it helps others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instagram is a great way for George to connect with people. For him, videos are a more comfortable way to communicate than reading or writing. \u201cWhenever I feel stressed out, posting about it helps,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The idea for the Instagram account grew through George\u2019s participation in a virtual support group. The group meets once a month, and George attends when he can. It used to be an in-person event. Now that it\u2019s virtual, people from across the country can find support through the group \u2013 another silver lining of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Showcasing his story<\/h2>\n

George isn\u2019t afraid to be vulnerable in his Instagram posts, either. \u201cSometimes I get frustrated when my videos are all over the place.\u201d But a friend says those are the best ones. \u201cI\u2019ve only had positive experiences telling my story online,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

The account also serves as a type of diary, a place where George can share his thoughts and feelings any time, in a format that suits his needs.<\/p>\n

George says he hopes his story helps others with his conditions. \u201cThe mind is complicated. People with the same diagnoses manifest them in different ways. I\u2019m just trying to help normalize OCD and ADHD and help remove the stigma in the mental health space.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
