A couple of days ago I told my parents some of my harm intrusive thougths, i explained what ocd is, my dad understood but my mother said she was scared of me and she said if you think that, than that is what you subconsciously want, a year ago this would have triggered me so badly. It made me so sad because that is why years and years ago I didn't tell anybody about ny intrusions and the hours and hours I spent on compulsions like magical thinking. But on the other hand I felt relief, because I was raised that you are what you think, now I know this is not my fault. Now I know better, now I have help from my partner and therapist. Bless them❤

Omg i’m so sorry that she reacted like that, wishing u the best in ur recovery ❤️‍🩹

I really appreciate you and your willingness to talk about the more distressing themes. I suffered with POCD for years but when I got a better understanding of it my fear subsided a lot. Yet I still get the odd random attack every now and then. Recently, I was passing a coffee shop and happened to glance in the window and briefly made eye contact with a kid who was looking out the window. Immediately the Accuser pounced and tried to say that I had a sexual motive for looking in the window. Fortunately, I have no strong feelings of guilt anymore around this theme and within half an hour I had forgotten about it. Thanks to people like you who had the courage to speak out I know it's just OCD.

I still feel guilt but music my talent doing what I love my therapist teachers at school that I trust and have a good relationship with are what helps me get over it

When my ocd came roaring back 7 years ago your videos saved my life. Still do. Thank you chrissie for being our advocate and warrior and for fighting for us and yourself!!!

Even now, I sit and listen to you and do not believe that I can have OCD. It seems like you are talking about people who really suffer, and I am not in this group. But still, when I found your channel, I started to cry. No one in the OCD community is brave like you.

You're brave too! I agree with you though, about Chrissie. But don't tell yourself you don't have it just as bad as others. You're a sufferer... Period. And you deserve to heal and not hurt anymore. Don't compare yourself to people who have it worse. You're doing yourself an unfair disservice if you do. Be fair and kind to yourself. Jesus loves you. ❤

You are saving lives. Never stop doing what you're doing. It's still hard and always will be, but thanks to people like you I'm more aware of the cycle and what's going on in my head, and I know I'm not alone. I can't thank you enough for all you have done and continue to do for the community!

I suffer from OCD in the form of intrusive thoughts, I have done for 23 years now, I am having a flare up again at this moment in time, what I wanted to say is my husband had cancer and he could talk openly to anyone about his illness, strangers, neighbour ect. cancer is more accepted, I also have what is classed as an illness but it is not accepted and I cannot talk openly to no one about my illness or how it affects without being judged, I would say my illness was more disabling as far as quality of life but no one recognises this still, I wish we could have the same freedom to talk about our illness like my husband did then it would feel less isolating and not being made out to be some kind of freak out of fear of being judged, we should all feel equal with what illness we have and not be judged... Chrissie you need to go on The Dairy of A CEO and get the word out more, don't ever stop what you're doing we would feel so lost without you, you have helped me and many others by what you do, sending my love x

I came to chrissie for peer support for my OCD. She was absolutely amazing and has contributed to my recovery. I would highly recommend. Thank you for everything you do for OCD awareness and support chrissie! We love you ❤️

This channel helped me so much with understanding what I was going through wasn’t the real me and just my brain hurting me and gave me the courage to seek help and I love your work so much you are a saint chrisie don’t stop what you’re doing

We need your videos and we need you! Thank you so much for standing up for all of us. This is the worst disorder and it’s a constant battle daily. ❤

Hi Chrissie Ik u probably won’t read this but I’d like to emphasise how much you’re helping people 🙏 a couple of years ago I had quite severe OCD and your videos gave me so much clarity and I guess healthy “reassurance” in the way I could identify my troubles as OCD. Although I still suffer it is not near to the extent I was in the past, and without the online ocd community I have no clue what would’ve happened to me!

Thank you Chrissie for your advocacy and your passion. You are a lifeline for so many of us in this community.❤

You are just pure gold 💛!! Best greetings from Germany and just that u know, u r reaching ppl all around the world!

I love you so much. Thank you for always advocating for our community

Love you Chrissie. Been following you for years and know you've saved my life.. no underestimate. X

I’m 18, I very recently realised this could be my issue, my psychologist told me at my last visit that he thinks it’s OCD. I’ve watched your videos for a few months now and I really appreciate your passion for this disorder, I’m quite lonely (Autism’s not super fun) and hearing someone have emotion when talking about an issue I deal with makes me feel less lonely. When I’ve told people that there is a distinct possibility that this is my issue the most common response is “Are you going to go on meds?”, I don’t want to and if I can manage it like I have been with your help I’ll continue to do so. Sorry I went on a bit of a ramble but I just wanted to say thank you for your passion, your empathy, your honesty and advocacy, it’s helping me feel more normal again

Thank you so much. I’ve suffered with this for literally decades, being filled with horror and shame at what my brain is capable of. It hurts so bad but so comforting to know that I’m not the only one. For decades I truly believed I was.

Thank you so much Chrissie x

You're the best, Chrissie.

you are a blessing

Thank you for fighting for us

Thank you for being the open and earnest advocate for those like myself who feel too "meek" to stand up for myself and the impediments that this forsaken disorder creates.

I'm suffering from POCD and my thoughts don't feel intrusive, when i see a little girl it feels like i want to do something wrong, now i don't know what i want.

You probably wanna get help from a professional to at least prevent a possible mistake.

Go Chrissie! Stick it to the man!

Do you also get intrusive earwarms, constant music looping?

I do for sure, when I try to sleep what keeps me up is the same song over and over again. What helps me is after 20 minutes if I’m not asleep getting up and watching relaxing TV or relaxing a book

I’m only 14 my therapist and my guidance counselor tells me that these intrusive thoughts are normal for my age that makes me feel better I guess because it makes me feel like I’m normal and I’m not disgusting sick twisted a predator a pedophile and unhinged and a weirdo I hope that these thoughts will go away as I grow and get older I want to be at peace with my life with my mom who passed away when I died at the age of 9 lately I have been feeling her spirit around me I feel like she’s trying to tell me something I do believe in god and heaven I believe that my mom is with me in spirit and I have to do the right thing and I need to finish school go to college because I will be happy and proud of myself and I won’t have to worry my plan is to go to Hollywood and become a singer and I want to interview celebrities and do podcast and journaling and write a book about my life and what got me to where I am but I have to learn that’s why I have to keep going to school even though I have a hard time with it and I hate it and I don’t want to do the work I know I have to do the work so I can move on with my life and take care of myself and support myself this is what I have to do I know what I want and nothing is stopping me but the intrusive thoughts my sexuality who I am my identity growing pains pruberty being a boy being 14 sucks for me and it’s uncomfortable and I feel weird.

I'm 22(m) suffering from hocd, do anybody have intrusive thoughts as mental voices such as whenever i see same gender my mind just say he's hot, i want to sex with him and many other disgusting things, i never felt this way in my whole life, however at the beginning of ocd it feels intrusive but now sometimes it feels intentional (maybe its overthinking or trauma) although my attraction towards girls is back so i feel less anxious??

How in depth is the medical communities knowledge about types of OCDs? I assume many people arent honest about their thoughts in fear they may lose custody of their children or be locked up themselves if a psychologist misunderstands them.
