House music producer and DJ Dom Dolla recently sat down with Tiga and Tia Ho to talk about music and creativity, but he also opened up about living with OCD and how it affects him.
One thing he said really stood out to us: “I cannot handle doubt.”
OCD is often called the “doubting disorder” because it constantly demands certainty. It can leave people trapped in endless what ifs that never feel fully resolved. In Dom’s case, those doubts show up in the studio, wondering if a track is good enough or if he’s done everything possible to make sure it is perfect. While the doubts themselves look different for everyone with OCD, that need for certainty is something many people with the disorder know all too well.
We also appreciated Dom pushing back against one of the biggest misconceptions about OCD when he shared that it’s “not like I’m clean and tidy” and that it “can be pretty debilitating.” OCD is far more than the stereotypes people often hear about, and conversations like this help more people understand what the disorder actually looks like.
Thank you, Dom, for sharing your story and helping raise awareness for OCD.
