OCDeary Me

For many people with OCD, being creative is an outlet to express their feeling about OCD and how it impacts on their daily lives. This poem is one such example.

OCDeary Me

How can these hands be dirty still,
where are these germs my brain cannot kill?
Where is the map to ease the maze,

Can I not but let it lie,
to walk away without goodbye.
But you slowly creep upon my shoulder,
the doubt and fear that turns me older.
corridors of circles, my head ablaze.

My OCD: Past, Present and Future
By Angelina Scagliarini

Looking to the past to understand the creation,
Of a beast so ugly, you hate without hesitation.
Leaving me feeling hopeless, lost, without destination,
Wondering whether I’ll ever experience happiness and jubilation?

It takes hold,
Sharp claws digging in,
Embedding into an aching mind.

Trying not to think

By Kerry

Trying not to think that I’ve not to think about it
Yeah yeah I know I sound like a right twit
But really how can I not think about it when
I have to think about not thinking then
I have to think about not thinking about not thinking
Meantime the first thought isn’t sinking

An ongoing battle between me and my head

Between the Ears

Between the Ears
By Andy

There are places in the mind
It sees what it can find
To really hurt and destroy you
You know that it's not true
But there is nothing you can do
The “what ifs” sticks like glue
