Hello Lauren, I hope my message is read by you. I also, am a writer of short articles many of which are published in various newspaper. I have suffered from OCD for 40 years, yet would love to collaborate a magazine article on LOVE and OCD. How the two relate. Let me know at rfcoins@bellsouth.net if you would like to work on something together on the above topic. Sincerely, Ross
This is a really amazing story and a really hopeful one. I too have had severe OCD in the past and personally it was the worst thing I've ever encountered in life - it just makes living a real struggle; to hear about a fellow kiwi winning their battle with this debilitating condition is really inspirational.
I am glad Lauren wrote her book as being able to talk openly about such things is the start towards recovery. I self published a few books for family and friends on Dissociation Identity Disorder. It has since been published by Strategic Publishing in the US only months ago. It is titled 'As One' Writing is such a healing thing to do and talking openly about your experience helps others.
