Paperback published by Canbury press
About the story on the back of the book
MY REVIEW
It’s very true what is stated on the back of the book, it is certainly a raw true story about OCD. Lily Bailey was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 16. This is an honest memoir of her life up to the age of 21. Voices were in her head with thoughts that she was a bad person. Now Lily is 24 she decided to write about OCD. With help from her family and counselling she has found a way to managing her obsession. You can judge for yourself just how raw this book is.
As a child Liley Bailey knew she was bad. By the age of 13 , she had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disaster and eyed up her classmates. She failed her suicide attempt by taking an overdose of pills. Then being transferred from intensive care into a psychiatric unit, sharing a room with four other people. She thought she had been sectioned but, thank goodness, somehow her parents persuaded the hospital to let her go home.
The one thing that I only realised by reading this true account of Because We Are Bad, is how OCD really effects people in different ways.
The reason why I recommend reading Because We Are Bad is because it will in some form teach you what it’s like to live with an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I would like to thank Canbury Press for sending me this book for an honest review.
