Liz McIngvale - OCD article and website some teens/kids might like

[Guest guest]

Have read her story at the OCD Foundation website. Here's an article from

Houston about her story, not long. Checked out the OCD Challenge website

mentioned (anyone else used?) and thought that some who resist therapy a bit,

might like this website and info; plus it's a fellow sufferer doing the talking!

An excerpt or two:

Liz McIngvale used to wash her hands seven times. She'd turn off the faucet or

turn on a light with her foot to keep her hands from being contaminated. She

would only wear certain colors because others were contaminated. Liz had a

ritual for everything.

......

In the past seven years, Liz became a licensed therapist, and is almost finished

with her PhD in social work at the University of Houston. And now she is in

control of the OCD rituals that used to control her.
