Hello!  

This episode I read several poems that I wrote when I was first diagnosed with OCD in 2019.  Poetry holds a big spot in my heart and I believe it can be healing and therapeutic.  Words on a page can be a beautiful escape from your headspace.  

I hope you enjoy my poems and the rest of this episode.  Thank you for sticking with me.

Much love,
Taylor

Hello everyone!  This week's episode is on Just Right OCD, or stereotypically known as 'perfectionism.'  I detail my intrusive thoughts that come along with Just Right OCD and get into why this theme of OCD is referred to as perfectionism, as there is truth in the name.  Stick around if you want to hear why taking a break from 'the grind' is so important-- and why that language needs to stop.  

This week I'm highlighting one of my fellow pink hair devotees on Instagram, @obsessivelyeverafter!  Please, go check her out and hit that follow button.

Thank you so much for listening!!!

Peace and love,
Taylor :)

TheOCDeets is taking a break this week :) But I will be back with an all new episode next week on 3/6/21 talking about Just Right OCD-- Perfectionism!  For now I hope the quote from Instagram account @fleurdelisspeaks inspires and encourages you until then.  

See you next week!

Love, 
Taylor

Hello everyone!  This week's episode is about Relationship OCD and Sexual Orientation OCD.   Also known as ROCD and HOCD or SO-OCD, these two themes can have a big impact on self-confidence, relationships, and trust.  I discuss my experiences with ROCD and SO-OCD and dive into all their intrusive thoughts.  I also discuss what helps me manage them!  

This week I highlight the Instagram account @the_ocdproject, who posts super awesome educational, inspirational, and comforting messages, so please check them out and give them a follow! :)

Thank you for listening!! :) Peace and love, Taylor  

Hello!  This episode of TheOCDeets I'm talking about Magical Thinking OCD!  A lesser-known theme of OCD, Magical Thinking takes 'superstitions' and puts them into overdrive for sufferers of OCD.  

In this episode, I highlight another favorite Instagram account of mine, @aimees_ocd_journey, who, like me, shares her intrusive thoughts, emotions, reactions, and beautiful inspirational messages to those living with OCD.  If you're not already following her, go do it now!!  I promise you'll learn at least one thing within her most recent post.  

If you want to see what I'm up to in these cold, wintery days, feel free to head over to my Instagram account @tayyjmanzz!

Thank you so much for listening.  Have a beautiful day! :)

TW: Rape and Sexual Assault
This episode I talk about Sexual OCD/Pedophilia OCD and the intrusive thoughts that leave miserable every time I experience a major episode of stress in my life.  I also get into explaining to non-OCD sufferers how to navigate a loved one's intrusive sexual thoughts, as they can be incredibly distressing to not only the person experiencing them but the person hearing about them as well.  

I'm looking for guests!  Do you love talking about mental health?  Do you want to end the stigma?  Then please join me on an episode of TheOCDeets!  You can send me a DM on my instagram: @tayyjmanzz, or you can email me at [email protected].  Anyone and everyone is welcome so please reach out!

Thanks for listening.

In Episode 2 of TheOCDeets we talk about Harm OCD; what is it? How does it make me feel?  How do I cope with it?  This is OCD in real time-- human buffering as I like to call it.  Not many people know what Harm OCD is, or that it even exists, and here is where we start breaking the stigma.  Come dive into uncertainty with me, and stay until the very end.  I promise, it's worth it.  Thanks for listening.
