      For many of us, Christmas is a season of lights and tradition.
      For people with OCD, it can also be a season of more fear, more obsessions, more guilt…shame.

      This Christmas, @ocddoodles created something close to my heart in collaboration with @ocdaction – a limited edition charity bundle designed to raise funds for their vital work supporting people affected by OCD.

      Inside the bundle:
      🎄 1 charity tote (two designs: Ride the Wave & Embrace Uncertainty)
      🎄 8 Christmas cards (4 festive patterns)

      All proceeds go directly to OCD Action because of the generosity of @wearefyi who have printed everything!

      If you’re able to support, share, or simply hold this in mind this Christmas, thank you.
      The link to the bundle is i  @ocddoodles bio. 💙
