Very inspiring!
Sometimes it seems to me that my OCD is somehow "opposite side" of my talents.It"s like with the intuition - when you are not listening to it, you feel yourself bad.
Thanks.

After having a particularly bad day with my OCD I came to your site just to remind myself that I'm not alone. I saw this video and it captures the life of an OCD sufferer very well. As Kim said I too show these to my family to allow them some kind of insight.

Matthew's video illustrates extremely well the effects of OCD in everyday life. I personally suffer with OCD, which started from a very young age. Whilst watching Matthew's video I could instantly empathize with the obsessive ritual, infact, the footage is able to put across what words simply cannot.However,anyone watching, that has no understanding of OCD would simply see obsessive behaviour as being totally and completely irrational repetitious behaviour. The clips with electrical switches etc ( I also check switches but less frequently as in the footage ) also the women being asked to send of a letter in the post - I too have this problem when writing a letter , I get through loads of paper and envelopes !!, when I am feeling very anxious and stressed the OCD is worse, if I don't feel I've got it right,I can get locked into this cycle of behaviour, it's actually very upsetting. All in all, the video touched me deeply. Thank you.

Inspirational!

Hi im a sufferer and this video made me feel sick and uncomfortable because it was so true of ocd and made me realise how many more people must have the illness and this type of video needs to be seen by more people to understand ocd because people not undersstand ocd makes it difficult for us to explain what ocd is.

A very moving snapshot of life with OCD which shows those who think that "they've got a little bit of OCD" that they are wrong. The checking and the obvious distress the girl had when she thought about whether her light was left on was almost too uncomfortable to watch - as I have done exactly the same. Very well done.

I found the film very inspiring, if only it was as simple as that in real life!

I thought the video showed well the feelings of anxiety which are quite difficult to portray and often not shown.
Kim
Hi Thank you for these videos which help in two ways for me; show me I am not alone I could be watching myself on there. Secondly I show people I know these videos so it helps them get an insight without me having to explain all the time.
