The OCD Workbook...
I can thoroughly endorse this book, I have owned a copy for over 6 years now and it is still of benefit to me. It contains extensive information on all types of OCD, has exercises to help improve your symptoms and is very understanding in how it
has been written.
If you can only buy one book to aid you, buy this one!

Our first story has very kindly been sent in by Chris, a former sufferer who wishes to share his experiences in the hope it will help others who may be going through what he did and encourage them not to feel so isolated, below is an excert from the full downloadable story...
'Once I remember handing in homework that was very bold in ink, it was so weird and awful the teacher became so incensed that he held it up in class and demanded to know who it belonged too! He clearly thought that through my neglect I had no respect for his homework or his lessons. The truth was in fact that after finishing his homework my OCD told me to painstakingly go over every single letter again with my pen! And then again! And then again! And then again until I was happy in my head, if only he knew!!'
