A memoir of obsessive–compulsive disorder
My OCD Experience
A true account of a mind at war.
For years, my life was quietly ruled by obsessive thoughts and invisible rituals. This book is my attempt to turn that chaos into something honest, readable, and—hopefully—a little bit healing, both for myself and whatever audience it garners. This is my story, I hope you enjoy it.
My OCD Experience
A true account of a mind at war
Roland Gharfine
Why I wrote this book
This book is a long letter to anyone who has ever wondered if their brain is secretly broken—and to the people who love them.
Who it's for
If you live with OCD, care about someone who does, or simply want a brutally honest account of daily life with OCD, this story is for you.
What you'll find
Not advice. Not a cure. Just one person's real experience— the obsessions, the shame, the small victories—and how accepting it all changed everything.
Read a few words
Start at the moment everything stopped feeling "normal"— and where the whole journey began.
