    Hey there, i’m here from SITS, you’ve got some awesome content here.

    I know what you mean about being a young blogger and doing this. I’m probably in the same boat too and I’m honestly really nervous about writing it.

    Good job for getting it done! I’ll do mine tonight for sure – http://www.initiative180.com/2010/08/dreading-initiative25/

    take care and keep on blogging!

    Just had a quick browse through your blog. Well done. I know from experience, its extremely difficult to talk about ocd and to write about it…well thats a whole different battle.

    Keep up the good work!

      This blog was incredibly difficult for me to start. I thought about it for awhile before actually making it. I was so afraid of what the reaction from strangers would be. I was sure people would be mean and think I’m just nuts or that I’m making everything up. I have had the exact opposite reaction, though. It makes me so glad that I took the risk to start writing publicly. It’s always hard to hit the publish button, but thus far, I have not regretted doing so!
