Muck and dirt --Vomit -- Is it, or isn't it? -- A sink at the altar -- Best before-- never! -- Sunday diver -- The hypnotic world of false memory -- Basic concern -- Psychiatric department -- Admitting myself -- Crisp white sheets -- Humble pie -- Living again -- Onwards and upwards.
Summary: How many of us double check that we really have locked the door or switched off the iron? For some people, such mundane everyday worries can become life-ruining obsessions. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects one in fifty people and one of them was Ruth Deane. In this frank and personal account she shares her own experience as an OCD sufferer, from the first innocuous signs of onset to the devastating effect of the condition on her relationships with her family and friends, her self-esteem and her marriage. Ruth Deane takes the reader on a moving, honest and at times light-hearted jour.
