Ever feel like you’re just one fry short of happiness? Us too. In this podcast, we — Jamie Spielmaker and Rachel Winn — embrace and explore the complexities of mental illness in a world that often stigmatizes them. We are not doctors or experts… we’re just anxious and depressed. So take what we say with a grain of salt… after all, every box of fries needs a little sodium. We hope this podcast makes you feel less alone, more alive and emboldens you to share your innermost challenges with others. Because that’s the only way to survive this rocky road called “Life” — with each other.

Ep. 22- Jamie's OCD Story
At the end of February, Jamie started therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.In this episode, we talk about Jamie's experience with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy and…* The difference between generalized anxiety and OCD* The “label” of OCD and how it makes me feel* Different modalities of therapy and how very different they can be* The huge misconceptions our society has about what OCD “looks like”"Recording this episode was a huge triumph for me. It is one large “exposure” — sharing my story that I was so deeply ashamed of for many years. My fear is that you’ll think I’m a crazy, dramatic, hypochondriac. And you might! That is your business. But my hope… is that you won’t."With love and uncertainty,JamieCheck out our substack at: OneFryShort.Substack.com (OneFryShort.Substack.com)and our Instagram at: Instagram.com/onefryshortpod (Instagram.com/onefryshortpod)We are not medical professionals, so, as always, please consult with your doctor regarding your medical needs.
