A word of encouragement
When I tell people I have OCD, I often get told "Oh, just like me. I need to keep things very tidy, I'm a little bit OCD." But do you constantly count in your head, Do you have to touch everything you walk past, Do you get terrible images pop…

See the winds blowing around the trees, Seeing the last of the autumn leaves falling gently at my feet, Seeing the autumn frosts settle in the morning's light, It glitters so brightly all around the sunshine, Way up high in the deep blue sky! As we're sitting down by the…
