Luke Combs Opens Up About His Battle with OCD + Anxiety!

Kudos to Luke for being so open about this.  Speaking about mental health in general in important, and when it's a male celebrity it means alot, because it can help so many.

 Here's what Luke said in a recent interview with Dan Rather:

 He struggles with purely obsessional OCD. Also known as Pure O, this form of OCD causes intrusive thoughts coupled with mental rituals to minimize stress, which can be very distressing to those living with the condition. Thoughts vary among individuals, but may include overwhelming fears around sexuality, health, or relationships.

Those relentless thoughts are typically centered around his wellbeing. “It comes in waves. It’ll be something about my health. I’ll be worried that I’m about to have a heart attack or a stroke. It becomes this very obsessive thing that you literally can never have an answer to,” Combs said. “That’s the awful part of it. You have to teach yourself to become comfortable with the fact that you’ll never get an answer and that it is a super uncertain thing.”
