So sorry you had to experience this at such a young age. I'm 43 snd currently battling my toughest bout of OCD. Its always been there but has recently been supercharged and has literally destroyed my life. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't let OCD take that away from you ❤

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

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

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?!

Im struggling so badly. Thank you for your help and your voice.

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.

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.

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.

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

"An opportunity to overcome. " very helpful.

Great vid. Thank you & congrats on making your life better.

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

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.

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.

You are so young. I am so sorry this happend to you and so so happy you survived

Thank you for this video!!

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.

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

Brilliant as usual!!! Having a relapse the last week but using it as an opportunity to use the tools I know!

There is so much hope here. Amazing video 👏

Great video Sam. I hope that I can find the strength as well to get me out of this suffering. Thank you for describing your struggles.

I am so sorry that you have suffered so much.

I need help, i got embarrassed in class once and then developed anxiety when looking at someone , so i avoided eye contact, i completely forgot what its like to not be so focused on how and where to look , my eyes are always stressed, i cant look around or observe my surroundings , when im sitting with people at a table i dont where to look so im super anxious , i never know where to look in any situation, people call me weird , its ruined my life , any advice is truly appreciated ❤

Ty ❤
