*it is not my birthday. 

I, like the queen, have two birthdays. My physical birthday, which is in June (the 20th, if you want to send cards), and my mental birthday, which is today! Hooray!

I was diagnosed with OCD exactly six years ago today. My life started making sense on 19th December 2009. 

Whatever December brings you – and it’s quite a busy month for me, Christmas notwithstanding – then I hope you get the peace and serenity I did when I entered the Priory all those years ago.
