About this product

Product Information

Emily Colas, a young, intelligent, well-educated wife and mother of two had a secret that was getting in the way of certain activities. Like touching people, having a rmal relationship with her husband, socialising and eating out. Soon there was interval in Colas' life when she was t just checking everything around her. This raw, darkly comic series of astonishing vignettes is Emily Colas' touching chronicle of her twisted journey through the obsessive-compulsive disorder that came to dominate her world. In the beginning it was germs and food. By the time she faced the fact that she was really 'losing it', Colas had become a slave to her own 'hobbies', from daily hair cutting to incessant inspections of her children's clothing for bloodstains. A shocking, hilarious, and ermously appealing account of a young woman struggling to gain control of her life, this is Emily Colas's expose of a soul tormented, but balanced by a buoyance of spirit and a piercing sense of humour that may be her saving grace.

Just Checking by Emily Colas
I liked the book because I also have OCD, and could relate to some of the situations in the book. I would be a good book for other people who have OCD to read, but I'm afraid it would be a little above the heads of those who have no clue.
