Growing up with OCD,
with Traci Foust:
“Nowhere Near Normal”
Contact: Will Bower

When most people think of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), germophobes and hoarders often come to mind. However, for many individuals struggling with OCD, the symptoms are varied and less obvious, making their condition difficult to diagnose. The situation is often worse for children, as they search for understanding whilst being told by adults to just act “normal.”
Author Traci Foust (tinyurl.com/tracifoust) understands this situation all too well. In her memoir “Nowhere Near Normal” (Simon & Schuster 2011), Traci chronicles her life growing up with obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, and clinical depression.
While the neighborhood kids were playing outdoors, seven-year-old Traci was inside making sure the miniature saint statuettes on her windowsill always pointed north, scratching out bald patches on her scalp, and worrying over bizarre anxieties, including a fear of the sun, an obsession with contracting eradicated diseases, and the idea that she could catch fire just by thinking about it. While stints of therapy – and lots of NyQuil – sometimes helped, nothing alleviated the fact that her divorced mother and mid-life crisis father had no idea how to deal with her.
Traci is now sharing her story with brutal honesty — and humor. She’s hitting the airwaves to discuss her memoir, her struggle with OCD, and the humorous and colorful events along the way.
Ask Traci:
– What inspired her to share her personal story with the world in “Nowhere Near Normal”
– How she survived the difficulties of a childhood with OCD
– What advice she has for parents whose children are battling psychological disorders
– How her journey affects her current relationships and career as a writer
Traci Foust has most recently appeared on “Tell Me More” with Michel Martin on NPR, KGO TV San Francisco, “San Diego Living” on XETV, The Gil Gross Program, “Lanigan & Malone” on WMJI-FM Cleveland, “Conversations” with Lizz Sommars on KISW-FM Seattle, “Brainstormin” with Bill Frank on KKZZ-AM Ventura, “A Minute More” with Larry Shannon, “Together Again” on BTR, “WPGM News” with Matthew James, and in Marie Claire… and has been met with excellent reviews. Traci received a degree in American Literature from UCSC. Her writing credits include The Black Satellite Anthology, as well as winning the Northern California Olympiad of the Arts award for contemporary short fiction. Her nonfiction has appeared in The Southern Review andHyperlexia Literary Journal. A new short fiction piece will appear in the Fall 2011 issue of Echo Ink Review. Book her for your program today by contacting Will Bower at will@allenmediastrategies.com or 202-365-2536.
