1, 2, 3. Sh*t, that's my OCD
09-11 AUG 14:10
In a world full of ugliness, desperation and people touching you with dirty hands, OCD became a coping mechanism. This young girl tries to hide her symptoms, for example touching things three times, but it's in her DNA and to her discomfort the world starts noticing. But, relax. It's a comedy. Fine, tragi-comedy. A monologue full of 1,2,3s, changing from verse to prose and focused on the PTSD of sexual abuse, which worsened the girl's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and developed it to a place where she didn't feel "normal". Based on real stories.
