PUZZLED by Pan Cooke

 

PUZZLED is a graphic memoir about growing up with OCD. Author Pan Cooke presents his experiences beginning in childhood with feelings and impulses he often couldn't explain. 

He describes his feelings as puzzle pieces that never seemed to fit together. He shares how he worried about the anxious thoughts that constantly bombarded his brain. In attempts to control his feelings, he became trapped by exhausting rituals. No one understood what he was experiencing. 

Cooke's humorous yet honest description of living with OCD is sure to help others who share this difficult condition.
