Mental Health Bookclub discussion

Hi Kim I plan to read this book. Is it still in the discussion ? Thanks

I am reading this book a little late but It gives great insight into OCD. I enjoy it so far.

You never know how ridiculous your OCD thoughts are till you view them through another lens. During the majority of the reading I wanted to laugh and cry. Laugh at the absurdity of the thoughts and cry because I have had similar if not the same and was/am just as devastated each time. The book for me started off a bit slow but it does rev up.

Most OCD sufferers when they write books tend to end on a high note of getting treatment and getting better but I do so wish someone would write a follow up book showing what treatment actually looks like on a day to day basis. That its not simply a ,I have treatment therefore I got better. I want them to talk about the bad days where they are completely swamped and OCD has once again taken over and how the next day the start a new.

Lily did a really good job with this book. It was honest and I thank her for it. Sometimes when you have a disorder it does feel better to know that other people have it and they are still living their best lives. It provides hope. Especially with such a rare disorder.
