Journalist Bryony Gordon is joining us on Tuesday 4 October between 9 and 10pm to chat about living with OCD, the subject of her latest book.
Bryony has written for The Telegraph for 15 years and her weekly column has won her an army of fans who have followed her journey from single girl-about-town to settled mum. She is now 35 and lives in ‘Nappy Valley’ with her young daughter and husband.
Bryony’s memoir, Mad Girl was our non-fiction book of the month in August, and recounts her experience of living a life ruled by OCD. One reader said:
“I applaud Bryony for her complete honesty and admire her bravery writing open-heartedly about such a sensitive personal matter, which she did in such a fearless and often hilarious way. I cannot remember ever reading a book which made me laugh out loud one minute and cry the next - that shows the strength of prose in this amazing book... I urge you all to read it to have a better understanding of mental health issues - let's lift the taboo, get talking about it, and give strength to all of us who are the 'one in four'!"
Come and chat to Bryony and put your questions to her on Tuesday evening between 9 and 10pm. If you’re unable to join us then, please do post up a question in advance on this thread.
We're delighted that Bryony will be also joining us as one of our speakers at Blogfest 16 - you can see the full programme here.
WEBCHAT GUIDELINES: 1. One question per member plus one follow-up. 2. Keep your question brief. 3. Don't moan if your question doesn't get answered. 4. Do be civil/polite. 5. If one topic or question threatens to overwhelm the webchat, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point.
