Questions from Angie

1.  What prompted you to start blogging? I’ve always wanted to start a blog, hoping to find people that are going through similar things to me. I think also, that my therapy had a big influence on me starting this blog. I had become a lot more confident and less alienated by my OCD and I wanted other people to feel the same too! 2.  Do you have a favorite post you’ve written (and, if so, link us to it)? Probably ‘My OCD Jenga’ that I wrote back in October 2013. 3.  If there was one thing that you could change in your past, what would it be? Probably isolating myself from all my friends for a long period of time. It was just feeding my OCD ect and despite me thinking it was the best thing to do, in reality it only sent be spiraling lower. 4.  What is the one “takeaway” you’d like readers to get from reading your blog? That you’re not alone! 5.  Share a funny moment.  Probaly when I fell straight into a waterfall…I wasn’t best pleased. 6.  Who, or what, inspires you? So many things! The online community, I’ve met some amazingly phenomenal people through the internet who I’ve become great friends with and care so much about. My therapist inspires me too, she really really does. 7.  If a movie were made about your blog, who would star in it? My therapist of course! Probably also my Mum, a few of my friends and the online OCD community definitely! It would be a small but mighty cast. 8.  Dark or milk chocolate? Milk! 9.  If you spent a week in outer space, what would you take with you? My camera, can’t miss an opportunity like that. 10.  What’s your favorite non-blogging hobby? Probably either Scuba Diving or Triathlon! 11.  A long lost aunt leaves you a large sum of money.  What do you do with it? Put the majority away in a bank, boring I know! Probably go on holiday somewhere, buy my mum a cottage in the Lakes because that’s what she’s always wanted and donate some to OCDAction, OCD-UK & OCDNI!
