Why This Book Works When Other Methods Don’t

You’ve Googled symptoms, read posts, maybe even started therapy — but it still feels like something’s missing.

 Once you understand its tactics and patterns you stop reacting automatically.


You stop believing every thought.


And that’s when recovery truly starts.

In case we haven’t met yet…

Hey, I’m Hussain

Hey, I’m Hussain — and I’ve lived with OCD for over 10 years.

For a long time, OCD controlled everything — my thoughts, my actions, even how I saw myself.

I kept it hidden. I fought in silence. And honestly, it nearly destroyed me.
The Turning Point

I used to think I was broken — that the intrusive thoughts meant something about me.

But the truth was, I just didn’t understand what was happening in my mind.

Nobody had ever explained why these thoughts felt so real, or how they fed into compulsions that made things worse.

That’s what finally pushed me to start learning everything I could about OCD.

I went to therapy. I studied the disorder.

I wrote everything down — every pattern, every trick, every lie OCD used to keep me stuck.
The Moment Listen Up Was Born

That journey inspired Listen Up: OCD Is Talking.

It’s the book I wish I had when I was lost — when I needed someone to say, 

 “You’re not crazy. You’re not evil. You’re just dealing with OCD — and here’s how it works.”
From Struggling to Sharing

Now, through my website The Struggling Warrior , I share what helped me get my life back.

I’ve been featured on the IOCDF, ADAA, and other mental health platforms 

but what matters most to me is helping you make sense of what’s happening in your head.

Because once you understand it, you can finally start to change it.
Why Now?

OCD loves hesitation.

It tells you to “wait until you’re ready.”

But that moment never really comes — and every day you wait, OCD keeps the upper hand.

You don’t need the perfect plan to start recovery.

You just need the truth about what’s happening in your mind.

That’s what Listen Up: OCD Is Talking gives you.

Once you understand how OCD works, it loses its power.

 The best time to start is always now.
