Hi Stuart,
Just wanted to thank you and the guests you have on for your hard work. I have literally just found out about this website, having recently been diagnosed with ocd myself (after 38 years plus of living with it) and, along with my recently-begun cbt /erp therapy, the ocd stories website is really helping me to feel less alone, more supported and to understand what ocd actually is and how to get better.
So, thanks very, very much.
Cheers,
Sharon.
Thanks Sharon this makes me very happy.
All the best in your recovery!
