Stuck on Repeat: A Hopeful Guide for Understanding OCD in Yourself or Someone You Love By Lucy Wetherby OCD doesn’t have to define you - or the people you love. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is more than a habit, more than worry, more than the stereotypes. It can feel like being trapped in an endless loop of fear, rituals, and self-doubt. But while OCD may repeat itself endlessly, your life does not have to remain stuck. When Lucy Wetherby was struggling with OCD, she searched for a book that was empathetic, practical, and free from overwhelming medical jargon - a book she could also hand to her family and say, this is what it feels like. That book didn’t exist, so she decided to write it herself. Stuck on Repeat is the guide she longed for, written with honesty, compassion, and hope. Inside, you’ll discover: How to separate identity from OCD and rediscover the self beyond rituals and intrusive thoughts. - Everyday ways families and partners can support healing without being pulled into compulsions. - What intrusive thoughts really mean (and why they say nothing about who you are). - Stories and case studies that bring OCD to life with honesty, warmth, and humanity. - Practical guidance for breaking cycles , building resilience, and nurturing compassion on both sides. Whether you are struggling with OCD yourself or standing alongside someone you love, this book offers not just understanding, but encouragement. It is both a mirror and a map - reflecting the real experiences of OCD, and pointing toward a future where hope, connection, and meaning take centre stage. You are not your OCD. You are not alone and with knowledge, support, and courage, you can write a new chapter - one where OCD no longer takes up all the space in your life.
