AceShowbiz - Country music star Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, are known for their open and honest approach to their personal struggles. In a recent episode of Bunnie's "Dumb Blonde" podcast, she shared her personal experiences with OCD, dispelling common misconceptions about the disorder.
OCD is characterized by "disturbing, unwanted thoughts" that cause overwhelming anxiety, according to Bunnie. These thoughts are often related to things that the individual cares deeply about, such as relationships, religious beliefs, or passions. The anxiety caused by these thoughts leads to repetitive behaviors or "compulsions" in an attempt to alleviate the distress.
Bunnie emphasized that OCD is not simply about being overly organized or tidy. Rather, it involves intrusive and disturbing thoughts that are difficult to control. She described her own OCD rituals as "incredibly time-consuming and exhausting," but also ineffective in the long run.
Bunnie has previously shared that she once used alcohol and pills to suppress her anxiety and OCD symptoms. However, since getting sober, she has come to terms with her condition and is working towards conquering her fears.
Despite the challenges, Bunnie is proud of the progress she has made on her Beautifully Broken tour with her husband. She credits the experience with helping her manage her OCD and develop coping mechanisms.
Bunnie's honest and vulnerable account of OCD sheds light on the complexities of mental health struggles. She encourages anyone who may be struggling with OCD to seek support, as she has experienced firsthand the challenges it presents daily.
