As a sufferer of clinical OCD since childhood, I haven't had the courage to read a book on the subject until now. I once tried to watch a TV special on it and ended up vomiting all night. That being said, I can attest that Jeff Bell's accounts of his OCD is accurate and relatable to anyone with the same disorder. I am a "checker" myself-- both a mental checker AND a physical checker. I'm also a "repeater" and a "reassurance seeker" to a fault. I'm now medicated and I see a therapist every other week to keep my compulsions and rituals under control, but I can tell you that this book was very wonderful to read! It was fantastic reading about Jeff's triumphs over this doubting disease and it gives others hope that things CAN come to a state of normalcy and an occasional slip up is normal (and not life-threatening!) Thanks for writing such a candid and frank memoir and sharing it with the world!
