Lily Bailey is one of the leading advocates in the mental health community when it comes to promoting understanding and awareness of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This is one of the best definitions of OCD I’ve seen and there’s nothing I can add to it. I’d highly recommend Lily’s memoir, ‘Because We Are Bad,’ if you want to learn more about the horrific, absurd reality of living with OCD. Thank you.
We are Stephen and Fionnuala and this is our story. We live in Northern Ireland, have been married for 17 years and have three kids - Adam, Hannah and Rebecca.
We hope that our story will inspire and encourage others. We have walked a rocky road yet here we are today, together and stronger than ever. We are far from perfect and our faith has been battered and bruised.
But an untested faith is a pointless faith. Just as a fractured faith is better than none at all.
We hope you enjoy the blog.

Great resource. I wonder at times if I have OCD. Definitely some tendencies~particularly after head injury. 🧐

Does it have to be the same thought everytime that you must act on or else you are unable to move on or it can be different ?

Thanks for sharing this!! I think OCD can be a term that is thrown around too often, and people need to understand what it really means!
