Am I A Good Person? OCD Won’t Let Me Decide

Scrupulosity OCD isn’t just about religion — it’s about relentless self-doubt, moral perfectionism, and the constant fear of making the “wrong” choice. For Summer Lemmon, that meant questioning every decision, feeling paralyzed by guilt, and seeking endless reassurance that she was a good person.

Then, everything changed when Summer lost her mother — the person who had always reassured her that things would be okay. Without that anchor, her OCD spiraled, leaving her to face not only overwhelming grief but also the terrifying realization that she could no longer rely on the reassurance that had kept her afloat for years. In this episode, she shares her journey through loss and the difficult but necessary process of learning to navigate life without external validation.
