Life in Rewind: The Story of a Young Courageous Man Who Persevered over OCD and the Harvard Doctor Who Broke All the Rules to Help Him
I have a friend that has OCD. I didn't ask - she just told me. I didn't pry - she just seems like a normal person to me. She didn't get upset when I didn't put my boots where she suggested. She doesn't seem to get upset about anything really. This book suggests that she might be upset behind the façade (and no - I didn't put that hinkey little thing under the c in the last word - the spell checker did that).
So - this book is about someone with OCD. It kind of crept up on him day by day until by mid-book he spends most of his time 'immobilised' in his room in the basement because every time he moves, he feels compelled to do so many extra things in his mind and body that it just isn't worth moving. He loses weight and seems to be living in filth that he can't remove because ... his mind won't allow him to.
It's like there are two people operating in him - one that says that he doesn't have to do all this extra stuff and one that says that if he does not - something terrible will happen (basically: all his friends and family will die - like his mother did).
He gets therapy - but it doesn't help - at first. Then he meets a girl and falls in love and his love for this girl strengthens the part of him that says that he does not have to do all the extra stuff.
And it's as simple as that.
Except that it isn't. People are pretty complicated things and the odds of getting the boost you need by falling in love are pretty long.
My friend doesn't seem to want to fall in love anytime soon.
I wish she would.
I wish we all could.
Love could save the day for us all.
