My Speech Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

"Some people like to feel clean or a worried about things like fires, earthquakes and their family. This is normal. People who do these things constantly aren't normal and it is known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD for short."

"This is sometimes caused by something bad happening or something bad that has happened in their life. OCD make you anixous which means you are worried. In people without OCD the brain deals with the anixety but the brains of people with OCD don't sort the anixety which leads to being unusally obsessed about something"

"Some people with OCD worry about thinking bad thoughts which leads to them thinking bad thoughts and that leads to sleepless nights, bad school grades and arguments with friends and family. People with OCD worry so much they spend a few hours or even a day worrying but not sorting the problem"

" The brain keeps repeating the obsessions instead of moving onto something else. It can be a bit like a bad song that you get stuck in your head and no matter how hard you try not to hear it your brain keeps playing it back"

"Having bad thoughts can be frighting and scary so think how people with OCD might feel"

"OCD might make you have worries about: Germs or dirt Illness or injury Unlucky numbers or words Being perfect and just right Making mistakes Doing or thinking something bad

OCD might make you have obsessions about: Hand washing Counting Touching random things Checking things over and over Asking the same question even after you've had an answer Tying and retying shoes Re-reading, erasing and re-writing Food.

"OCD isn't contagious so you can't just catch it off someone. It isn't the persons fault that they have OCD. People with OCD aren't alone. In the United States about 1 million kids have OCD. Thats around 1 in every 200 kids. In adults its even more common with 1 in 50 adults having OCD"

"Having OCD can be hard. It makes life seem not worth living and not fun. It can take allot of energy having OCD"

OCD can be treated 2 different ways. Medication and Counsling. The medication changes the chemicals causing the worries and obsessions and making you not worry or do the obsessions as much"

Counsling helps you talk about the problems. The counsirler might be doing normal and casul things and the person being treated might think that its not working but the changes are slow, instead of washing your hands 40 times a day you might only wash them 39 times a day"

"It feels good to be free of OCD"

Dear my friend.

This is the story of how I came to carry the World Cup on to the field for the presentation. It started out as a perfectly normal day. I got rudely awakened by my alarm at 7am, dressed, brushed my teeth and went down for breakfast. It was at breakfast that I got the first surprise of the day, out of my cereal box popped a thin rectangle bit of paper. I pulled it out of my bowl making sure it didn’t tear. It was colourful with the word FIFA printed across the top. As I read thurther down I realised that it was saying I was in a competition to carry the FIFA world cup onto the field and present it to the team. I would be competing against two other people to prove that I was the one that the world was looking for, their leader, their one to lead them through the tough times. O.K so I got a little carried away there but I do get to carry it onto the field. The only type of soccer I know is the small games I play against the other village children. You see I, what you would say, live at the end of the world, the small village that nobody knows about. On the paper it had a number to ring. I went and saw my mother, who is the villages daycare minder, and said “ Mum you’ll never guess, I have this letter to go to the FIFA world cup. Here take a look”. And from there everything happened so fast. Before I new it I was standing in front of the compeition organiser and beside me the other compeition participants. The organiser called out the name Bobby Dylan. So I didn’t win but I got this far and I still get to sit in the crowd. But then Bobby did something that surprised me and the organisers. He said that he didn’t want to carry it onto the field and that he would be much happier if they chose one of the other two contestants. It was nerve racking wait for the organisers to get their heads around what had just happened but they came up with the “winner”. I couldn’t believe it.. I had won. So thats how I became the millionare that I am today. The publicity was so big, thats how I got my mega bucks.

Yours sincerely
