This is an "in the trenches" episode which is where people share their journey with mental illness. Jill Freestone shares her journey with a recent diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder and specifically with religious scrupulosity. This is more common than we think within devout religious communities with rules/commandments etc. Jill shares that OCD can look very different than what we think it does and actually very high functioning successful people of which she is one, deal with it daily. Jill's attention to details, research and rule following are part of the reason she is successful, but also are part of her OCD. Jill's story and her discovery of her scrupulosity will fascinate and inspire you as she has become more empowered on how to understand her brain and how to help alleviate her anxiety and difficulties within a strict religious community.
