    For context, the clarinet that the younger sister plays is a single reed instrument. The reed vibrates which causes the air and clarinet to vibrate too. The reed is made out of cane. The ligature is what holds the reed on to the mouthpiece. Without it, the clarinet will make no sound. I play clarinet too and it was nice to see one in an animation!

    what i really love and appreciate most about this is...her OCD is still there at the end. anna isn't "fixed" because she struggled hard enough and got the piece to her sister. a lot of the time in depictions of mental health like this one, the hug would have been the end of things. that's just not the reality of having a disorder! thank you for that. this is such a beautiful short.

    I really appreciate that OCD is not just presented as this "quirky" thing where you need everything to be organized. It's often so misrepresented- I had no idea I even had it until my sophomore year of college, despite struggling with it since childhood. It took me so long to realize I wasn't "crazy"- I just had a disorder. Amazing work!!

      This is how I feel when learning and having to face the facts that I have either Autism or a learning disability. When I was a kid, I had trouble paying attention in school and would just day dream most of the time, I even pretend that I'm either talking to someone else or that I'm on my own adventure.
      At first, I thought it all came from watching too much TV, or playing to many video games, and thought it was all just normal. But as I got older, I found out that it was because I had a learning disability and that I needed to go to CDPHP at times. When learning this I began to think of myself a freak and wondered how can a live with myself anymore, I still wonder that today.
      There are times I wish I did not have a disability and wish I was normal, and even tough people say there are some upsides to my disability, I wish it was because I was normal, and not from a disorder.
      I still struggle with accepting myself today, and I'm starting to feel I will not accomplish my dreams because of my disability. But hopefully someday, I'll figure it out, if I'm lucky.

      ​@@dreamguardian8320 Yeah-- comparing yourself to the rest of the world, or to neurotypical people, can be kind of overwhelming. It can be hard to look at a sizeable portion of the world and watch them go about their day/their life in a way that seems so much more easy. I don't think having a disability/disorder makes anyone of less value though. We often have a different perspective of the world, and our own strengths that come with that that people without our conditions might not have. I know for me personally, my OCD makes me more prepared for situations. It sounds like you have a wildly creative imagination! Also upon doing research, there are a lot of extremely well-known names of people who do have various disorders/disabilities! And even outside of fame, there are plenty of neurodivergent people who have family, friends, who accomplish their goals, etc. I know it can be very difficult to come to terms with a condition and developing self-acceptance and I wish you well on your journey with that. Your disorder is a part of you, but it's far from the only thing that defines you!!

I check my lock several times whenever I leave the house, I often feel like I'm being suffocated when I'm outside or in crowds. This film captured it perfectly. It made me cry, but in a good way.

      I am so overly conscious of the fact that i have only a finite amount of time on this planet, that i get extreme anxiety and depression when I need to do something that doesn't help someone or doesn't bring me joy. i am literally unable to do something that is ultimately a wasted effort with no payoff. I would rather work 8 hours intensely than spend 6 hours at work and only being productive for 3.

    Oh I just clicked, I wasn't expecting a short film about OCD. I actually struggled from a severe OCD for years and I've never (never !) seen a content that represents it that well. This is exactly how OCD feels like - and I mean "exactly". Your every moves being watched by that over-sensitive, horrible conscious of dreadful dangers. The fright at the idea of disobeying. How difficult it is to disobey. Feeling glued, dragged back by the fright telling you to go back and to things properly again. I didn't suffer from cleaning and symmetry-related compulsions but I absolutely relate to this. And yes, at the end the OCD is still here. It watches. It's hard to truly heal from OCD, and it takes a lot of time and effort (imagine having to fight like 4:55 to 5:50 for every compulsion you try to resist to - for me it was literally ever move I made), but it's possible. That living nightmare is far behind me now. If you're currently struggling and reading this, hang on and don't lose hope : I know it's hard and painful and terrifying, but there's a beautiful world behind that wall.

    I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 18. Yes, this is exactly how I feel when I see things not aligned, not in a line, when I can't wash my hands, when I can't fold paper or boxes for recycling exactly as they should be. This is how I feel when chairs are not parallel with the table, when bedsheets are not straight. Sometimes I lose my mind just by looking at them to the point of overwhelming anxiety that I can't do anything or focus the entire day.

      @@KD-ou2np it's definitely not disgust, it's just something that doesn't sit right with me. I pour so many hours obsessing on things being in specific places (the pleats that curtains form when you slide them to the side had to be 2 inches each), All my clothes had to be black, kitchen supplies need to be stainless steel, when I receive clothing as gifts, it has to be certain color and cotton. My friends and family have learned to gift me with experiences rather than things because I just can't accept something that doesn't sit right with me. The food that I taste exactly in mind which is not always the best (This week was a constant compulsion to get sustainably caught sardines in olive oil, it had to be olive oil, it had to be certified sustainable, i can't escape it. Last week was a specific brand of korean instant noodles). It's mostly an annoyance that I can't move on with my life if this and that is not "right". Sometimes its helpful especially with my job (professional baker) I will scrap a project if the scones are not exactly 3 inches by 2 inches, if the cookies are not 3.5 inches in diameter when baked, the streusel needs to be even for all cakes. It's kinda nice at work when people don't question why you bring a ruler everywhere. In the outside world, it's more weird.
      It's not about being organized or clean or perfectionism. I am not a germaphobe at all. I can sit on the floor or the grass, I can work on dirty jobs but it has to be a certain way.
      OCD is more like it just doesn't sit right I can't move on until I can correct it.

    This is so well made 🤩. It's not some stereotypical representation of OCD when people just organize things and keep your space tidy up, but it's so well shown of different compulsions. I am a messy person and don't really like to tidy up and people think that I don't have an OCD, but I have urges of counting things, doing particular stuff in a very specific order, otherwise I feel very anxious. And I calm myself by touching specific spots on my body in a specific order, or "draw" symbols with my fingers on my body in specific places and orders. This was much more complicated when I was a child, until I got to a therapist.
    Again, this is so important to show how it really could be and that mental health is important just as your physical health.
    Thank you very much for this animation! I am amused by this artwork!

Mine is less patterns, more feelings, like, i have to touch something a certain way, or one hand cant be under water longer than the other, or I can "feel" where the germs are on me after i touch something or go out in public. It's really hard to push through and it causes a lot of anxiety.

    This really explains in an abstract way, what it's like to have OCD. Often times it's so bad that it annoys the people around you, and forces you to do things without thinking. It's just awful. It's gotten worse for me over the years. It's an uncontrollable impulse that causes you to feel intense anxiety when triggered in you. I wish there was treatment for this type of thing. I can't even pet an animal or sit on the grass. I can't enjoy my life.
