“…you are not alone. You are worth the time and energy it takes to find help, the right help. Don’t give up.”
I was recently interviewed by the amazing podcasters at The Women Are Plotting. They wanted to speak with me about the book, You’re Not a Murderer: You Just Have Harm OCD, which I coauthored with my eldest, Finn. Since it is Mental Health May, this is certainly timely. We had a wonderful talk. These women discuss everything from cryptids, writing, and sexual harrassment to OCD. They were funny, giving, and kind, and I was honored to join them for this episode. What was really special is that one of the women, Jane, understood OCD on a level that many cannot. Several of her experiences with OCD and intrusive thoughts were very similar to Finn’s. Though I don’t wish the OCD beast on anyone, it was nice to talk with someone who truly understands.
Whatever your mental health struggle, whether it is May or not, please know that there are lovely people out there, like these podcasters, seeking to understand, to let you know that you are not alone. You are worth the time and energy it takes to find help, the right help. Don’t give up.
