    Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you found this video helpful. I've been hesitant to dive into the 1 minute short format, here and on Instagram/TikTok, because how much can someone get across in 1 minute? But now I think they're great ways to preview a video and also highlight ONE specific point. Plus they're a lot of fun to make!

    My OCD sometimes tells me "Maybe you don't have OCD". I have trouble accepting it as a disorder or illness at times and it becomes another OCD loop. I have been diagnosed with it since I was 12. I am on the Pure OCD side so I have a lot of mental obsessions and compulsions and ask for reassurance a good bit. It feels like trying to solve a puzzle that you can never truly solve. There's always another "What If?" Great video!

    That’s where I am at right now? My thoughts are surrounded by ADHD and OCD diagnosis. I asked so many times “are you sure I have ADHD .to my therapist. Now I end up with OCD diagnosis as well and ask my therapist are you sure I have ADHD and OCD?

    Oh my God I just got done. Trying to tell my daughter this. I’m actually having a very difficult time and I’m trying not to cry. My OCD got triggered and it’s starting to calm down but me and my daughter always very close. She’s 25. We started arguing because she just cannot except us and I said this is only happened for over a year since my mom died. It’s getting better can’t you except it. And she insists that I can control it And she says I’m not gonna answer your stupid questions and she’s against Madison. And this is a daughter, who I actually will she’ll say is my angel. But it’s like my worst fear I never wanted to lose my family.

    YOOOOO is this really what causes OCD?!?! This changes everything I had no idea it was as simple as my brain not communicating throughout itself. If that's all it is I wanna stop giving in to all of my compulsions!! It's a made up story my brain is telling myself apparently so I can just ignore it right?? I suppose that's easier said than done😅
