Camila Cabello Shares What It's Like to Live With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Camila Cabello is sharing her story.
The 21-year-old “Never Be The Same” superstar talked about the disorder in the June 2018 issue of Cosmopolitan, out on Thursday (May 3).
“OCD is weird. I laugh about it now. Everybody has different ways of handling stress. 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,” she explained.
“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. 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.’”
