This is my final blog and I hope you have found it entertaining, insightful and a true reflection of life with OCD. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to the brave soldiers who risk their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, but fighting and recovering from OCD felt like a war and only now can I look back at my time in OCD Hell and say to myself, “I was there and I survived.”
But once you’ve conquered OCD then you simply return to the other stresses of modern life: find a girlfriend, save up for a flat, maintain a good social life and succeed in your career. I’m very lucky to have found a job as the number of unemployed keeps going up and decent jobs are few and far between. I shall never forget my nine months of unemployment and the tedium of endless job applications, but I got through it and am now in an enjoyable role.
I hope to have my second short film made this year, which is great news and would be a big step forward in my career ambitions. For some reason I can’t stop listening to Tina Turner’s “When the heartache is over”, but it makes me happy rather than sad, even though my previous girlfriends or recent dates all seem to have found someone new while I’m wallowing around like a horny hippopotamus. On the plus side I’m running faster than ever.
But life can only get better and I want to achieve a lot this year and will work hard to stay on the pathway to happiness. If I can manage it then anybody reading this can fight to reclaim their lives from OCD. Best of luck and I now pass on the baton to the next blogger.
