"I'm great at wearing a mask. I think anyone who has a mental illness is..." - a conversation with Yan Baskets
Show Notes

This week on The OCD Chronicles I’m talking to writer and OCD sufferer Yan Baskets.

Yan has some story to tell - you can read his excellent blog at https://ocdetour.wordpress.com - about how, terrified that OCD was going to deny him all of the opportunity, hope and wonder that life can offer, quit his job, sold his stuff, and bought a ticket to travel to the other side of the world. Until COVID hit, he just kept on travelling, seeing, exploring... I’ve done my fair share of travelling myself. I’ve forced myself to for the same reasons that Yan has – and I hope – will do again. Because hey, if World War 3 is raging in your brain, you might as well do battle somewhere where there’s a beach… right?
