In my debut rom-com, it's important to me that the main character's OCD is part of her story, not her whole story. Here are a few examples of how I live WITH OCD, not a life OF OCD 💚 #OCDweek #booksky

My guidelines for writing a rom-com with OCD rep 💚 1. No "I'm so OCD" jokes in my book 2. The romance doesn't cure her OCD 3. A sensitivity reader will read it, because my experience isn't the end-all-be-all. Thank you for spending OCD Awareness Week with me and Lila! #OCDweek #booksky

"I'm so OCD" isn't a quirk. OCD is a real, exhausting disorder. Education and accuracy creates empathy.

Why my main character has OCD, part 2 💚 OCD lives in shame. A big part of my own journey was saying the thoughts out loud. So this book puts that out into the world: OCD belongs in rom-coms too, because it coexists with real life. #OCDweek #booksky

What OCD looks like for Lila 💚 She has checking OCD. The thought: did I leave the straightener on? The check: back inside, turn it off 4 times, unplug it, snap a photo of it unplugged. And she still has a full, busy life. #OCDweek #booksky

My therapist said my imagination is too good at thinking up "what if" OCD scenarios. But that also means I'm a really creative writer, and I can do happy endings too 💚 #OCDweek #booksky

My lukewarm take on "I'm so OCD": you will never see a character in my book say it. OCD can be scary and isolating, not a quirky trait. So just describe the trait! "I like my desk organized" works great 💚 #OCDweek #booksky

During this year's #OCDWeek, we recognize the need for continued research and innovation in #OCD treatment. A newly published proof-of-concept study demonstrates how invasive brain mapping may guide personalized treatment for refractory OCD.

OCD doesn’t have one look.

Compulsions may include visible behaviors, but they can also involve mental reviewing, counting, repeating, reassurance-seeking, or trying to feel completely certain.

Some of the hardest parts may be invisible. 💛

OCD and horror: what changed? 🎃 As a kid with OCD, even Disney Channel Halloween movies were too scary. Then a college horror films class (20 movies in 4 weeks!) turned out to be classic exposure practice. #OCDweek #booksky

If you loved how real the OCD representation felt in Turtles All the Way Down, meet Lila 💭 Checking the stove. Checking the door. Turning the car around a mile away to check one last time.   #booksky #romcom #OCDweek

OCD is not another word for organized.

It can involve unwanted intrusive thoughts, intense doubt, compulsions, and mental rituals other people may never see.

Some of the hardest parts of OCD can be invisible. 💛

Happy October! Here are 3 scary stories my OCD told me as a kid 👻 Like a Halloween story, I knew these fears weren't real. But they felt real. Now I'm changing the story by writing a rom-com heroine with OCD. #OCDweek #booksky
