So sorry you had to experience this at such a young age. I'm 43 snd currently battling my toughest bout of OCD. Its always been there but has recently been supercharged and has literally destroyed my life. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't let OCD take that away from you ❤
Omg when you said you always felt better right before a therapy session.. I was exactly the same! It was one of the reasons I stopped going to therapy because I kept questioning if I even had ocd anymore and worried I didn’t have enough to talk about each time 🤦🏻♀️ why does it do that to us?!
Thanks for the video!! People should be taught unconditional acceptance at a school age to avoid these kind of battles. I started feeling so sorry for the 18 year old you, as I empathise, and it is such a needless struggle
This video describes exactly how I feel! Everything you said, I can relate to. I am currently experiencing a setback and feel like I’m back to square one.
Its fascinating to hear others that are going through the same thing. Everything you have said I resonate so deeply with. Thank you for sharing. Its feels less daunting to know we are not alone.
It's so generous of you, Sam, to share your recovery journey. Brilliant , honest advice. I struggle with Harm OCD. Been good for a long time but having a rough patch lately.
Buzzing for this one! Watched the whole video i appreciate it sam. Yiu done well you was brave getting treatment so young. I waited 15 years! Thanks for sharing the in-depth stuff. I recovered before but only like 80%. Last 5 years was good but then last 6 months boom! Massive set back. But that was because i wasn't really fully recovered. This time round using the tools from the ocd recovery team iv learnt im going recover to a much higher level. Ill maje sure to get myself in the WhatsApp groups and all that soon.
Hey man! I'm having a relapse as well. Can you share how to implement these "tools"? I hear them described but don't have a good idea of how to apply. Thanks!
Loved it. Thank you. I regognized all your symptoms. It's an absolutely cruel condition, that's often been marginalised in the media (not intentionally). I think one of the biggest problems remains that it's often diagnosed so late, people who have OCD, can believe they don't have OCD for a long time. I took me ten years to have my diagnosis, 35 now, I am making some progress, but thanks for the reminder that patience is importance.
It is possible. I feel your pain, you might not believe it, but I do. Try to stay connected with these kind of video's and podcasts (the OCD stories is a good one).
I struggle with real event ocd as well. I keep going over and over something I did when I was 5. 5 years old! My ocd got pretty bad at 18, but it got worse as I got older.
I need help, i got embarrassed in class once and then developed anxiety when looking at someone , so i avoided eye contact, i completely forgot what its like to not be so focused on how and where to look , my eyes are always stressed, i cant look around or observe my surroundings , when im sitting with people at a table i dont where to look so im super anxious , i never know where to look in any situation, people call me weird , its ruined my life , any advice is truly appreciated ❤
Hi my grandson been going through hell for last six weeks, bad compulsions and bad thoughts,, he is 23 years old , we have had to fight like hell to get him help,, they have put him on medication,, what is helping,, and having ocd therepy,, are there sites where you can talk to other ocd sufferers,, his name is arron,, I found your talk on the subject very interesting and pleased your in a better place,
I am suffering so bad from harm ocd and anxiety .mental health team aren't really helping me.i suffer terrible physical symptoms too😢I feel so alone with this feel like I'm going mad.
for the last two months i have been having unwanted violent thoughts about my brother everyday, does anyone else experience unwanted violent thoughts about family members?
Yes. I had an intense panic attack back in the day from thoughts/images of harming my brother (who is younger than me), in a pretty bad way. I love him to death... You're not alone.

I’m 40 and struggling with pure O OCD. I’ve had all ocd themes but this is the toughest one.
