I know I do. When I first…… Continue reading 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me: OCD Edition
When I set out to write this blog, I promised myself that I would always be open and honest about how OCD affects my life. I realize now that I haven’t really done that.

That is the question. No, I don’t have an eating disorder, but I do ask myself this question more often than I’d like.
