Story: Riley (Compulsive exercise, residential treatment, finding joy again) (#496)

In episode 496 I chat with Riley who has kindly agreed to share her OCD story with us.

We discuss how OCD latched on to her sport (swimming), compulsive exercise, her different compulsions, obsessions around being strong, getting therapy, restricting foods, residential treatment, medication, finding joy in activities again, words of hope, and much more. Hope it helps.
