The OCD Chronicles
OCD is a terrible, debilitating disorder. It’s also routinely misunderstood. The OCD Chronicles is a podcast about the people who’ve fought this horrible illness, and, despite their struggles, thrived. They’re stories that are inspiring, affirmative, uplifting, emotional and useful. They exist as a record of achievement. To educate. Perhaps even entertain. They’re stories about the lives that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder tried to extinguish.Your host is journalist James McMahon. His own journey with OCD is long and arduous - and it's far from over. Join him on a voyage of discovery as he attempts to make sense of what is wrong with his brain. Maybe even to find the peace that's alluded him for most of his life. It promises to be emotional.

It's an inspiring story, and so in this episode I speak to 'Jon' and ask, 'what am I doing wrong?'
