I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and have felt incredibly ashamed, for a while is was under control however after a chaotic several months last week I spun out of control. As I sat in the waiting room at the mental health unit at my local hospital waiting to speak to a psychologist I watched as my friendly Avon Lady was admitted into the psychiatric ward - I was horrified. Later this week after she was released and my head was clearer she explained that sometimes we all need a break and someone to talk too she has offered me her twenty four hour support if I need it……and so I wonder how many of us have been led to believe that our illness is a weakness (actual words spoken to me from my inlaws) and so have noone to turn too? THIS POD IS YOUR SHOULDER TO LEAN ON!
