    About Me

    Living in northern Indiana, married, no kids yet. I've had OCD since I was about 19, but it's gotten worse and has taken over my life now. After bad experiences with therapy several years ago and just living with my OCD since then, never knowing that there was anything I could do, I am trying to begin the journey of exposure therapy (or exposure and response prevention, as it's also called).

    Interests

    Spending time with my husband is at the top of the list. When I have alone time, I love being on the internet, especially Myspace. A fairly new interest of mine is traveling. We went on a 2-week tour of Europe for our honeymoon in July 2007, and now I can't wait to do more traveling. Right now we're just saving up for our next big trip in late May / early June 2009.
