My library puts a paper in the front of every book for people to leave reviews/comments for other readers to see. The review in this one hurt my heart and made me pick up the book to read it.
It said: “I saw myself and I got help.” ❤️
I loved someone with severe OCD and wish I read this while we were together. OCD is a tough mental illness to understand from the outside and this really did a good job of illustrating how the intrusive thoughts and compulsions work. It can be hard to know how to be there for someone experiencing OCD sometimes. But I think the graphic format here lends itself well to fostering a better understanding of the OCD experience.
