Making the Olympics had been Ginny Fuchs' dream for years. But as she climbed the ranks of amateur boxing and moved to the Olympic Training Center, another battle was quietly getting worse. OCD was consuming more of her time, disrupting her sleep, and pulling her deeper into compulsions she could no longer control. Eventually, the disorder became so overwhelming that she feared it would derail the very goal she had dedicated her life to achieving.
As Olympic qualification approached, she reached a breaking point and made the difficult decision to seek inpatient treatment. In this episode, Ginny shares her story in full. She also reflects on why OCD was not a \"superpower\" for her and what she's learned from facing one of the toughest opponents of her life — her own OCD.
