Personal Injury was a new experience for me. After beating the Anxiety and OCD that had riddled by body in 1995 I was to experience another hurdle. Being a Cabinet maker I was working at home building Kitchens and vanities. Building a particular kitchen on this particular day I had an argument about the workshop floors being dirty with my dad which may of made me loose focus. It was a heated argument and for me these were troubled times because if it was not the OCD that was stopping me in my tracks it was the physical abuse I had to deal with.

Once the argument finished I set off working to complete making new doors for the kitchen I was building. As I started my bench style router machine I commenced routing the door rail and before I knew it start to grab and dig the timber that was being machined and along its path it damaged my left hand which was pushing through the timber.

Mum rushed me off to hospital where surgery could not save a couple of my finger tips on my left hand and it was sore and painful for 12 months. I thought great I beat OCD then this happens. Once I healed from this accident I decided to move on and do something else. The moral of the story is simple if you fall over pick yourself up and try again and keep on trying until you succeed. Things stop happening as soon as you stop trying.

Personal Injury can happen to anyone and it does not take much to hurt yourself if you’re not careful.

My Journey - The Beginning started back in about 1996. Without knowing what I had experienced for such a long time was about to change forever. Even though I had experienced anxiety attacks from around 1978 till about 1996 I had no idea what this was or what it meant and at the time what I was experiencing. I thought this was part of life. Life was a struggle throughout this period with bouts of OCD along the way and the constant mental battle I attempted to win on a daily and at times hourly basis.

I remember the day clearly when I experienced my first anxiety attack and it was back in about 1978 and I was only 10 years old. As a kid I was playing with a paint lid as we were doing a minor renovation when Dad got angry and he chased me where I stood against the wall near the tap as he hit me in my head. As I struggled to survive from this experience it was when I experienced my first anxiety attack and it happened quickly.

After this experience the attacks started to come and go for a number of years and slowly the OCD crept into my life and took over until 1996. The family decided we were all to go on a holiday overseas. Now remember at this point I had experienced OCD for about 10 years and anxiety for a further 7 which was 17 years in total. At this point my body was broken and I did not know this until midway through the trip.

OCD taught me to become a problem solver and a fighter and helped shape me to becoming the tenacious and persistent person I am today it’s what helped me to survive. Back to the trip and as we all boarded onto the plane I remember experiencing another OCD attack which resulted in an anxiety attack and a few more of these followed.
