Hi. My name is Vicente Sánchez and I am a Mexican man who has struggled with OCD since childhood. This is the reason why, after plenty of years, I decided to write a book describing my journey dealing with this disorder, which I think it could also be a movie. This is why I am looking for help to reach the right people or agencies to achieve it. Can anyone help?

My book breaks down and shows how OCD can get into your life to dominate it and control it more and more until you can get handicapped and a slave. My book shows the transformation of a person from being a nice regular kid to being a miserable maniac and suicidal person who has trouble finding joy in life and sees all the wasted years as a terrible burden that prevents him from being at least less miserable.

My book shows how this condition could ruin your life in every aspect and modify your mind to the point you no longer know what you really are like.

My book shows how a negative family and social atmosphere can also affect the way you behave and think by making you feel desperate, hopeless and angry.

My book offers a different type of view to the meaning of life and the dimension of everyday problems and how the stupidest things can become an almost live or die situation.

The story shows how a person can be so beaten up, self-conscious and abused that they start feeling invisible, ugly, worthless, disgusting and cursed.

I believe my story has potential not only to help people who suffer from a mental condition to find some comfort and relate to me, but also to be a mind changing experience that offers a different perspective about mental illnesses and how brutal they can be. This book shows a different kind of reality, a raw kind of reality rather than a comic situation with a gut avoiding to step on lines on the street or making funny things that are actually a burden for the sufferer.

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Philip. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
