At OCD Action we often get people sending us poems, stories, books, art and a whole range of creative and inspirational work.

For many people, being creative is an excellent way to express their feeling about OCD and how it impacts on their lives. In this area of the website, we invite you to submit your own creative work and share it with a wider audience.

If you would like to share some creative work with us, please email them across to media@ocdaction.org.uk.
