I was in the store at the time and remember being evacuated. I thought I was around 3 years old (1989) but this tween would place me at approx 6 years old (1992). Putting it out there incase anybody else was in the store at that time or has any information about what happened.

When I was diagnosed with OCD, one of the first things my mind did, was to run through all the scary events in my life. The bomb scare in Macdonalds, Briggate, Leeds, is one of my earliest memories of being terrified. The only evidence of it, I can find online, is this tweet..

@Yoni_Live_Once @tuckwoodstock Hey, I was in the store when this happened. I was only a young child. I've been looking for newspaper stories about it (as I'm writing a book, in which I'd like to mention it). The only thing that came up in my google search was your tweet!

@Danyfab Thank you!!!

🗣️OCD is a cycle 🔁

If this looks familiar and you think you might be experiencing #OCD, there is hope. Effective, evidence-based therapy can help to break the cycle of symptoms. Contact our Helpline for support and information on accessing CBT with ERP.

🧵(1/3) Last year, Henry, aged 9, started to struggle with symptoms of OCD. The world became an anxiety inducing place for him, robbing him of simple childhood pleasures like playing freely outside and hugging his siblings.

Know a child with OCD? Heard about a couple of amazing resources for OCD that I didn’t know about. Firstly, this website. https://t.co/WCfsMX46sX
Secondly this book https://t.co/Gj6NJSsjcO

For clinicians - the first book of its kind.

New research on OCD from Cambridge University. This is a big one!

The Glastonbury crowd filling in for Lewis Capaldi when he needed help was such a beautiful moment. Anyone saying “it was heartbreaking” or “he shouldn’t have gone on” is seriously missing the point. Disability is not a bad thing to be hidden. It exists alongside success and joy.
