What happens when ambition, OCD, perfectionism, and the desperate need to be seen all collide?


In the first official DTWM OCD Book Club episode, Leela and Pri read Famesick by Lena Dunham and find it's far more than a celebrity memoir. It's a deep, uncomfortable look at what happens when OCD-adjacent thinking meets the machinery of fame: perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, the need for approval, the compulsive storytelling, and the complicated relationship between vulnerability and visibility.


This conversation goes beyond Lena Dunham and into something more personal: the lengths we go to for approval, what we tell ourselves to stay in control, and the ways creativity and anxiety become completely entangled.


Pour a cup of tea. This one goes somewhere real. ☕
