Story: Duke Al Durham (Ep414)

In episode 414 I chat with Duke who has kindly agreed to share his OCD story with us. Duke is a spoken word poet.
We discuss his story, his compulsions, drinking to cope, pOCD, real event themed OCD, a suicide attempt, getting treatment, therapy groups, how OCD targets numbers for him, Duke shares two spoken word pieces, we discuss type one diabetes, and how OCD latches onto his diabetes, the things that have helped him, and much more. Hope it helps.
