Well done to you Chrissie for doing the hard yards on yourself throughout your life to deal with ocd. I’m 70 years old this year and have had to do the same as you have all my life. It is an ongoing thing to work on yourself continually just to be able to enjoy the simple pleasures that life offers such as travel. I remember as a child dealing with intrusive thoughts and was terrified at what was happening to me. OCD was never heard of in those days. I’ve learnt a hell of a lot about ocd in my lifetime and it’s an absolute pleasure to see a woman such as yourself bare it all with the hope of helping others who are struggling with this illness. Thank you for making yourself available Chrissie, your a gem❤️👍

Omg I’ve always had that same fear of getting sick on trips. My therapist helped me book a two day trip to expose myself to traveling and dealing with these thoughts. I had the thoughts every so often but I was more focused on what fun things I was doing on vacation. Now I want to travel to the UK!!

Thank you so much for making this video. I am travelling on a cruise in June and I'm so excited as it being my first time but I am also terrified!!!!!!

Have an amazing trip to Spain 🥰 and thanks for a great honest video. I can totally relate.

Lovely Chrissie Hodges.

Can you do a video on what a spike is? Is it just the questions? Images? Being alerted or aware all of a sudden? For examples. Good channel ❤

What'up. enjoyed-gorgeous sharing, 💫

I have not been on a plane since 2000. I have barely been to our family's cottage, a four-hour drive away, in 18 years. Why? Because travel is exhausting, even minor travel where I have to stay overnight somewhere. And also because when I go to my family's cottage, I am always the seventh wheel in a group of married people. Why have I always been the seventh wheel? OCD. OCD and addiction - the narcotics that my incompetent former doctor prescribed me in 2007 made a difficult situation into a hellish one. Thanks, doc.

I'm a 25 year old man. I never thought or was afraid of being gay. until I have gay friends. and now I'm really worried about my personality. and every day I always doubt what I believe. and my psychiatrist wasn't very helpful. he think im just depresion. just it. Do you think I have H-OCD? thankyu. sorry for my english. i use google translate
