| Publisher Description: Having to save the world and its inhabitants from destruction, my body succumbed to perform tasks against the will of my conscious; it was as if someone else had taken up residence inside my head. I prayed relentlessly for God's help. He failed to answer, and 80% of my waking hours were spent needlessly performing rituals to prevent fabricated consequences such as the end of the world or my mother's untimely death. This book exposes OCD as a serious disorder and not just an acronym for someone with clean and orderly habits. This book also presents examples of how OCD overcomes all logic and blurs the separation between the existing and the imagined, and how I fought these obsessions endlessly, but never overcame their wrath until God finally did come to me in the form of a lie. The stories within are laced with humor, sadness, anxiety and religious faith. There is a happy ending with me finally opening my eyes to God's gifts that were there all along. It is not a fairy tale with a happy ending; it is a horror story with a happy ending. |
