Rainbow Raft - Episode 14 - OCD and a Fresh Start

Rainbow Raft - Episode 14 - OCD and a Fresh Start

I've been struggling with OCD and Hoarding since the age of 9. Whether it's furniture, plastic bottles, paint cans, or random books.

It's been a struggle to let go, and it's been an even bigger struggle to try and find help.

But, we're on the right track for a fresh start!

Rainbow Raft - Episode 13 - Morecambe Adventures with Sky

We went on Holiday and toured the UK a little more. 

We went to Morecambe, which is on the north eastern coast of England. It's worn down a little, especially after everyone decided to go abroad for Holidays. But, we loved it.

To sum it up:

  1. I got addicted to tea
  2. We played as shit ton of Pokémon
  3. And we found the best hotel ever! [Review to come on T3ddy Talk]

Almost half of trans people (46 per cent) have also had thoughts about taking their own life.
