The Purpose of this site…
I have been a sufferer of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder all my life.
I felt as though I was going insane.
The feeling of ‘being responsible’ causes life to be unbearable for many sufferers.
One day I came across a book entitled
‘Getting Control - overcoming your Obsessions and Compulsions’, Lee Baer, Ph.D.
As I read the case studies in the book, I began to sob uncontrollably. I could, for the first time relate my own experience to what was written in front of me. I knew then that I was not a bad person, that I had a disorder, and that I was not alone. My healing took a new turn, when I started looking at my life with the aid of art and poetry. I believe that by using art in this way, we can communicate the intangible. Poetry can reach right into the heart of a situation, where years of talk have failed. Knowing too, that sharing my experiences with other sufferers has played a vital part in dispelling my fears, I decided to put together a website, written by sufferers, for other sufferers.
