How it works


Battle Back Beads provides FREE different color/design beads on a weekly basis to those fighting OCD, BFRBs, and Depression corresponding with what they have done to reach recovery that week. Every week, an envelope will arrive in the mail with the beads that have been earned the week before and can be added to the strand. 


With the first beads, you will also receive a length of cord that is 2 ft long for the beads to go on. If one length becomes full, you can request a new length of cord with your next order of beads.


Please note that you can participate in BOTH the OCD/BFRB program AND the depression program at once. If you would like separate string for the two programs, please put that at the bottom of the Google form you receive to request your beads under the comments section. 


Steps to participate-

  1. Email battlebackbeads@gmail.com with the subject “signing up” requesting to become a member of Battle Back Beads OR sign up through our website by clicking the message icon in the bottom right hand corner. 
  2. Keep track of all the work done towards fighting OCD/BFRBs/Depression that week
  3. Fill out the google form sent to your email every week to request your beads                                                                                                        

           4. Wait for your beads to arrive!

           5. Repeat steps 2-4 weekly
