Shala Nicely "Is Fred in the refrigerator"? Excellent book.
The YouTube channel OCD recovery has a list of recommended books! I'm going to try to find the link for you hold on
https://ocdrecovery.com/resources/ I haven't read any from their recommended reading list but I do really like their Channel and live streams! They go in depth on a lot of topics that go unnoticed as OCD themes.
Everything from Jon Hershfield, Sally Winston and Kimberley Quinlan!

I'm writing a story about a little girl with ocd. In the first chapter she does not know she has it, what subtypes should be shown and when and where that gets her family a bit concerned.
So for as long as I’ve been alive I’ve loved horror/ thriller movies and books. I really only enjoy reading thriller books. Since my harm ocd hit I have slowly started back reading thriller again, but I have to check for triggers before each one I read. There’s been a few books that I was really loving that I had to stop reading because something that would trigger my ocd would come up ( my theme is going crazy becoming dangerous , schizophrenia etc ) so if a character in a book starts hearing voices or something, I get so anxious. I want to be able to read and watch horror / thrillers again. Do I simply need to just continue reading / watching and sit with the anxiety?
I have tried a few different kinds of antidepressants over the years, but it's always been hard to find one that works well for OCD and doesn't have horrible side effects. Does anybody have any recommendations of one that worked really well for depression and OCD??
