I have written a novel called ‘Myself am Hell’ that features the epic poetry of John Milton as an antidote to the forms of tyranny we experience in our lives. This is my novel of obsessive compulsive disorder and the hell it creates in people’s minds.

‘Myself am Hell’ is a novel of OCD suffering and OCD hope. It has a twist of the poetry of John Milton. And a soundtrack of jangling Miles Davis rhythms. for my blog posts on OCD and literature.

@broseph_stalin @respeak_uk Is that from the Telegraph? I really think that publication just needs putting out of its misery. How can you have a reasonable discussion with someone who calls concern for children and innocent people being murdered, ‘anti-Israel hate’?

Does anyone else in the OCD community have OCD dreams where that process of doubt and anxiety happens while you’re asleep? I see it as the unconscious mind processing the condition.

For those of us with OCD, it’s always there to be managed. Sometimes it even feels like it’s gone away but it hasn’t; it’s the same sneaky condition, trying to create doubt. With the right treatment we can learn to manage OCD so that it doesn’t control our lives.

One of the many damaging effects of OCD can be avoidance of certain activities, places, people, and situations. This is just one of the ways in which OCD tries to take over people’s lives and dictate what we can and can’t do. #ocd #MentalHealthAwareness

Do unrealistic expectations lead to nihilism? And does accepting the world as it is, lead to happiness? The mind of a person with OCD can seem filled with sound and fury, but the journey to accepting the intrusive thoughts for what they are can be so rewarding #ocd #ocdawareness
