Have you ever felt like you're going crazy?
That things flicker through your mind at any given moment with no real reasoning or understanding as to why?
Maybe you have thought about hurting someone or something, maybe you've thought about hurting yourself and you don't know why.
Maybe you've convinced yourself you have caused someone pain in the past or you have dreams about causing pain.
Maybe you hear voices that question your sanity.
Maybe you don't.
Maybe you just have what everyone else in the world has and that's intrusive thoughts.
Intrusive thoughts that come and go freely not causing you any pain or discomfort to have them.
Maybe you think your boss is a dickhead and would love nothing more than to give them a swift kick in the shins; but laugh it off and can continue your day.
Maybe you think about packing your bags and running away somewhere from reality and all the responsibility you carry day in and day out.
Maybe you have all of these things and maybe you have none but millions of people in the world do and millions of people - just like me; allow these thoughts to consume us.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I was diagnosed with OCD officially as a adult but it is something that has affected me my entire life.
In this short book I will reveal times where my OCD has taken over me, ruled my life and won.
BUT I will also share the times it didn't win, pushed me to succeed and gave me the strength to ask for and receive help.
There will be emotional moments and I can't express enough how some parts in the story there will be potential triggers so careful action needs to be taken when reading this.
This is in no way a self help book or something to used to bully me or other suffers of this mental illness.
This is a book about the truth, things that have truly happened to me and things that hopefully can help people who read it to realise they are NOT alone.
So let's laugh, let's cry and let's go on this crazy journey together.
