Hi, my name is Vrinda, I’ve been living with OCD since I was at least 6 years old, and I also have Tourette’s, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder and High-Functioning Autism.

I’m also a writer, and I’ve decided to put together a self-published book of short fiction and poetry by people with OCD about/inspired by/featuring characters with OCD. I started this with a few people on OCD Tribe and we’ve got about half the required word count so far, but we need to fill up that last 25,000 words.

Being totally honest, I doubt the book will make a huge profit unless it’s immensely successful and I project far into the future (but I’m very hopeful about that!) – but it’s really not about the money, it’s simply about expressing ourselves in a different way to the general public and hopefully attracting ‘normal readers’ instead of just typical readers who are already interested in psychology subjects (hence the idea for the book to be fiction and poetry).

If anyone is interested in submitting anything, there are no real guidelines and it doesn’t matter how long or short it is, anything will be considered – you can send things to: info@conditionalpublications.com or view the website www.conditionalpublications.com if you’d like any further information, or just feel free to email me there if you have any questions.

Thanks very much!!!
