@@second5952 this is just what I needed. Couldn’t have came at a more perfect time. Thank you and God bless you

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.

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.

You’ve got this Katie 💪🏻

Man your video has given me a little boost to do the hard work

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.

We love to hear that! Looking forward to getting to know you more in the WhatsApp groups 🙂

This was a great video Sam. As you know, we (ocd peeps)need details and you did a great job expressing all the nuances in the recovery journey.

Thanks for sharing Sam. Really appreciate you putting yourself out there

This guy is so brilliant for his age. Lots of self knowledge and understanding of his situation. Does he have a channel?

Terrific Sam! These videos are great for hope - really connects sufferers together from all over the world.

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.

There is so much hope here. Amazing video 👏

You can do it!!! Keep pushing. Keep fighting.

I am so sorry that you have suffered so much.

How can I join the WhatsApp group he talked about in this video?

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.
