I have experienced very mild OCD in comparison so I guess I don't really know how it feels but it sounds really difficult! I'm really glad that you've experienced a small taste of life without it =) And be kind to yourself as you experiment with your new behavioural patterns- you've done amazingly! XXXXXX
I have ocd and would find it really helpful if you made more vids about it. Also could you maybe talk about intrusive thoughts? Only when I saw your video with Darragh about ocd where you mentioned your intrusive thought I realised that I had intrusive thoughts as well but never really realised or had a name for it. I'm really happy to get to see your face and listen to your voice again! :)
I found it really interesting (and helpful) when you mentioned, when you're trying to reign your OCD in, your anxiety flares up. An 'aha' lightbulb moment went off in my head because, for me, I've been trying to bring my horrid sleeping patterns back under control - forcing myself to go to bed and get up at the same time every day, plus not flicking on the TV in the middle of the night, which was a really bad trap/habit I'd gotten myself into as a way to distract me from my thoughts in the middle of the night when I wake. My anxiety has gotten worse, the better my sleeping has become the last few nights...maybe this is why. Maybe, us telling our body/minds "who's boss" - our anxiety is trying to step in and say 'no, I am the boss!'. Well done for taking this step with your OCD, that's great news! :)
I have social anxiety disorder, skin picking disorder and self harm but these are my brains way of dealing with things. I apparently turn into hateing my self where I can't get out of bed so when I am like that a self destruct these ways of me dealing with my dad being ill in pain and other personal stuff because I linked social situations and that being my problem I am too hard on my dam self
Love to see you back here! I've missed you lots. Challenging our thoughts is tough and brave. Go Emily 🤗 So proud of you talking about OCD. That's half the battle. I have trouble with negative depression thoughts. Feels like I have to convince myself to do most everything...
thumbs up hun im so glad ur back doing youtube and sorry ur not feelin to good im feel like crap lately im blame my depression of course and i have the summer blues i hate summer. i must be the only 1 who says that about the summer xx
What a delightful young lady you are. I've had chronic ocd all my life and I'm an older person so that's a very long time. But I've had a wonderful life and travelled the world i just learned to cope with it, the wonderful thing today is that there is so much help and understanding of the condition when I was young i thought I was the only person in the world who had these weird thoughts abd that's all they are just thoughts as they say it not me it's my OCD. So true. Anyway you're doing great and it will be OK just keep positive and focused on beating it not easy trust me I know but there is a Way just try to face the fear and you will beat it. Loads of luck 🤞 and please if you want to ask me anything please contact me. I actually started the first ocd support group in London 25 years ago. Obsessive Action and its still going. Take care. Michael. Ps im on Facebook as well.

Well done for not giving in to the OCD lies.
So I have only watched a few of your videos but I already love your channel.
