Camila Cabello is opening up about what it’s really like living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
The “Never Be the Same” songstress recently spoke to Cosmopolitan UK about her experience dealing with and overcoming her mental health struggles.
“OCD is weird. I laugh about it now. Everybody has different ways of handling stress,” she said. “And, for me, if I get really stressed thinking about something, I’ll start to have the same thought over and over again, and no matter how many times I get to the resolution, I feel like something bad is about to happen if I don’t keep thinking about it.”
Camila said learning more about her disorder has helped reach a better understanding of how to navigate it and recognize its patterns.
“I didn’t know what it was and when I found out, and [learned] how to step back from it, it made me feel so much better,” Camila said.
“I feel so much more in control of it now. To the point where I’m just like, ‘Aha! OK, this is just my OCD.’ I’ll ask my mom a question for the fourth time, and she’ll be like, ‘That’s OCD. You’ve got to let it go.'”
