Luke Combs is talking publicly for the first time about having anxiety and obsessive thoughts in an interview with Dan Rarthe airing tonight.

"It's something that I always struggled with, and always affected me," he reveals. "The first time I can remember is probably middle school up to the end of college, and I still have my moments here and there." Luke says he has a disorder known as Purely Obsessional OCD, which is marked by intrusive, distressing thoughts that come in waves. He says the key to taking control of his anxiety has been making sure he understands the patterns behind these obsessive thoughts. "You have to teach yourself to be comfortable with the fact that you will never get an answer, and that it is a super uncertain thing, " he says. "That's what I particularly have struggled with. Sometimes that's tough, but it's something you learn about yourself."
