Having my own lived experience with both BiPolar II Depression and Alcoholism, I have always found it both comforting and inspiring to listen to other people’s lived experiences. Their courage and vulnerability offered me the hope I desperately needed and inspired me to launch a podcast dedicated solely to sharing people's lived experience with different mental health and behavioral challenges. Each week a courageous guest will share with us what their life was like before, during and after their respective experiences and some advice they'd give to those who are struggling today.

Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) | Allison Britz

S2 EP #3: Allison Britz developed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, also known as OCD, upon having a nightmare that she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She began to do everything she could to stop the cancer in her dream from becoming a reality by avoiding certain objects, food and clothing. It got to the point where she had barely any “safe” clothes to wear and weighed 90 pounds. In this conversation, Allison shares what it was like to live with OCD and the different therapies she tried to better understand how these obsessions developed and how to better control the compulsions.
