TikTok Mukbang Sparks Conversation About OCD

A recent TikTok video has brought attention to the lived experiences of individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The video, filmed by a woman identified only as "Talking to Tequila", shows her eating a meal from Burger King while wearing gloves. She explains that this is a behavior stemming from her OCD. "I used to push on my light switch down to make sure it was off because I thought if I went to bed and the light switch was on, the lights being on for too long would cause the wires to explode and catch on fire", she shares. The video, which has garnered over 1000 views, has sparked discussion on social media regarding mental health and the challenges faced by those with OCD. While some viewers have expressed concern, others have shown support and understanding. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and awareness when dealing with mental health conditions. The creator has stated that she has made significant progress in managing her OCD.
