Rose Gardener is 44 and lives in Wales, mainly afflicted with contamination OCD. She is fairly new to writing, but has certainly managed to pull it out of the box! This piece is a double-edged sword that leaves its reader in a loop of constant questioning....
`Heather' is 28 and lives in Ohio with her three children. She battles with mostly `Pure "O"' OCD (obsessive thoughts), yet remains ultimately optimistic despite all her life's struggles. Here, she takes us into the mind of an obsessive-compulsive as she journeys through just another ordinary day.
`Kristyn' is just 19 and lives in New Hampshire. She is shy and not yet open about the true nature of her OCD. She mainly deals with `Pure "O"' OCD (obsessive thoughts), but physical compulsions are becoming more frequent. She loves listening to music at all times, writing and painting, and when she's older she would like to do something that helps animals and supports the things she believes in. She hopes her story will help someone out there feel less alone.
Ryan is 32 and comes from Hacienda Heights, California. His OCD hit him in junior high school, leading to the creation of mental compulsions and fantasy worlds to escape into. He has longed to give these a life outside his mind, and his writing now does just that. In this `tale', he shows us the consequences that may fall upon us if we let anxiety get the best of us.
Beth is 24 and lives in Wales. She battles with violent OCD thoughts, dyspraxia, an autistic disorder and as-yet-undiagnosed tics. Beth has what I believe is the ability to create beautiful complex sentences: in her tight multi-clause lines, so much information is revealed that we instantly feel drawn inside her characters' minds,
houses, lives.
E.I. Muse is 48 and lives in South Carolina. She has OCD, an eating disorder and an unconfirmed mood disorder; her children have also inherited her problematic genes. Despite the challenges her family face, she holds a strong and faithfully religious approach to life. She is currently working on her first novel, `The Healer'. Her writing has a unique way of merging darkness and fear with a message of hope and the ability to conquer your worst nightmares,
often with a touch of the unearthly, too.
`Sad Clown' has chosen to remain anonymous. I will say that he is 40 and comes from India, making our collection truly international, and demonstrating OCD's transcendence over geography and culture. In a form and style I feel reflects his love of writers like the 19th Century Dostoevsky, this first contribution from him teaches us that not all obsessions are simply about things.

`Kristen' lives in New Jersey and is currently 18, although she wrote the following poem at 15. She says her religion is what gets her through the tough times. She is also our youngest contributor and gives us a glimpse of just how much OCD can hurt at such an early age.

Instructions for revocation/
Standard Business Terms and customer information/ data protection declaration
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer’ is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within one month without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is one month with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
In order to exercise your revocation right, you must inform us (Moluna GmbH, Münsterstr. 105, 48268 Greven, Telephone number: 02571/5 69 89 33, Fax number: 02571/5 69 89 30, E-Mail address: abe@moluna.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent via post, fax or email). You can use the enclosed specimen revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.
The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
