Hi Kirsty, wow i wish i'd found your videos last year when i was in such a hopeless mess with OCD, but i am so happy that i have found you now. I want to share something that literally just happened to me, i found myself thinking 'what if this lady stops making these videos just when i've just found her'... yes it's that OCD monster tricking me again, but at least i recognise it now as just an unwanted thought. Thank you for sharing your story, i can see how emotional you still are about it, and i understand that completely. I'm so sorry you lost your Mum, i lost my mum at around your age 20 years ago.... and it is so hard, words cannot say how hard it is, especially when you are close. This is the best OCD video i've watched because you are living proof that OCD can get better, you have lived it, you understand completely how people like me suffer. Thank you, you're such a lovely person x

Thank you for your lovely message, I still doubt myself sometimes about making these videos. OCD stopped me for a very long time but after my last ‘rock bottom’ 3 years ago I realised I could use my experiences in a positive way to help people like myself. I know things can get better, I would hate other people to get to the depths I did & feel there was no support, so that’s my goal. 😊 I get those intrusive thoughts too, saying things like I’m not good enough or something bad could happen if I do this but like you I know these are just thoughts & I don’t have to listen them. Lovely inspiring comments like yours really keep me going so thank you very much, I’m so happy to hear they help you feel less alone in all this. Losing my mum was really hard as you know too, it probably was a part of all the many things that triggered me after having my daughter but I’ve also learnt a lot about myself through these difficult times too. It sounds like you’re doing so well in your healing journey & I wish you all the very best! 😊❤️ Xx

@@stuckinthemudofficial Kirsty, last year i found myself sitting on the ferry boat that goes from Birkenhead to Liverpool and back.... and i was so low i was thinking of ways to get rid of the thoughts........ like you i didn't not want to live, but i just couldn't take another day being bullied by these intrusive thoughts..... it was so awful, my husband was so alarmed at how depressed i had got, my family were struggling to understand me and i was so ashamed and sad and i felt so guilty. What got me through that day was remembering that if i had a broken leg everyone would be so helpful and sympathetic, if i had cancer they would be there for me and support me, but because this was a mental illness people couldn't see it and were less than sympathetic, so i started being nicer to myself, kinder to myself, because i was a good person and this wasn't my fault. I got some therapy, i got some medication, i worked hard every day, sometimes with great success, sometimes with no success, but now 12 months later i can see i am making good progress. But now i have found you and i realise it's not just me that has been through all this, and still going through it and it makes me feel less alone as i know no-one with OCD. You are doing a great job Kirsty, you are such a lovely person, you come across so caring and you've been through such a lot, but you should be proud of yourself for these videos, they are truly inspiring x
