Hi Hayley. Thank you so much for the effort you and Roby made to bring us this Incredible story about your OCD journey. Thank you for also including snippets of the show. Am sure this video has helped many people with OCD or perhaps OCD tendencies (like I do) to realise that's it's OK and one should be able to speak to someone freely without feeling ashamed. I trully enjoyed this video. Stay blessed dear and looking forward to your next upload. 😊

[@hayleyshelp]

You are so welcome my darling, it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, nobody asks for mental illness. It just sometimes happens to some of us unfortunately ☹️ sending lots of love to you Gwyneth xxxx

@@hayleyshelp I am so glad that the world is now more open about mental health issues. It wasnt like that when I was young or even 30 years ago when I had my first breakdown. I spoke to nobody about what was going on in my head, I would smile and say all was fine when it was far from fine. I was lucky to marry a good man who stuck with me through it all and thats been my greatest blessing in life my wee hubby John. He is terminally ill now with weeks to live and I wondered how l would cope without him but he has given me the strength to cope with so much in the past 47 years that I know I will survive this too. You and Robbie are an amazing couple and so blessed to have each other. Love from Alison Tracey across the pond in Northern Ireland xxx

I have followed your story since Obssessive compulsive cleaners and this gives me a complete story. I am praying for your continued healing.

[@hayleyshelp]

I’m so pleased you got a diagnosis, it’s really important that you don’t just sit with it forever and ever because it is absolutely a manageable condition with the right help. Sending love and hugs always, fork 🍴🥰 xxxxxxxx

U have come so far luv, b proud of ur self hayley, I no mental health is difficult at times for most of us and it does need to b discussed more and I no my self I don't share anything at times wen really is shud keep up all of ur hard work luv xxx

[@hayleyshelp]

Hello sweetpea, I think most people I’ve met have experienced some form of mental illness, whether it be personally or someone they know, it’s one of those things that not a single one of us are except from, it can happen to anyone. I’m always here if you ever want to talk Angel ☺️ sending hugs xxx

[@jacquim8907]

You are both so admirable for doing this honestly. My life has been ruled by bully of a father and hence everyone else. I did see a therapist and she said it wasn't my fault and now at 60 I can finally see the wood for the trees. Sincerely thank you both x

[@hayleyshelp]

Sending hugs to you Jacqui, that’s so unbearably sad 😢 it’s so important to work through anything that is having an impact on our lives, and your therapist is right it’s not your fault my darling, you are important and loved always remember that 💚💚💚💚

[@RoseofSharon3]

No judgement here Hayley. I understand that OCD is a mental disorder and I also have some degree of it. I grew up with a mother who refused to clean. But my bedroom was spotless and everything had a home. My father saw my ability at a young age and required me to do the housework. I didn’t mind because it fed my mental monster. In my own house I really look hard for things to organize, purge, or even clean. Now I have a job on the coast cleaning condominiums and it’s like speed cleaning. I love it because it’s like a competition to get it cleaned in a reasonable amount of time. Hayley, you are a inspiration to me. Keep sharing your struggles and triumphs with us. You are such a blessing to me personally. God bless you and your husband for sharing with us.

[@hayleyshelp]

Ahhhh Tammy, it is my absolute pleasure. Never forget you are valued and loved, no matter how some days might leave you feeling, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. Sending you hugs ❤️❤️❤️

[@RoseofSharon3]

[@RoseofSharon3]

Thank you Robbie for editing these videos for us. I wanted to thank you because Hayley has blessed me by doing these videos. Cause sometimes I feel so alone and that nobody cares how I feel. Especially my husband who loves a mess and has pack rat or hoarder tendencies. I have to stay on him all the time about bringing crap home. He’s bad about picking up discarded things from the side of the road to our home. It drives me mad.

[@hayleyshelp]

Hi Tammy it’s Robbie, the beautiful side of social platforms like KZbin is being able to find and connect with people who without it you may never have had the opportunity to do so. We always wanted to create a community of supportive kind hearted people for the Hayley’s Help channel so you are never alone and always welcome Robbie xx

[@LenaFjellborg77]

Thanks H & R for sharing your journey ❤️

[@1Andelina1]

Many mums are focused on family and home because it is more rewarding vs running around trying to fit that part of their life in with a company, you got the benefit being family focused having OCD without even knowing, now you are more balanced. Good for the pair of you!

[@emmagalbraith7763]

I finally found time and watched this.. This is so helpfull, you two are amazing couple.. My english is not so good so I can't really describe how much I enjoyed this video Ranger is such a sweet guy, supportive and understanding husband and that was one of the biggest thing that Help you through this struggle. I'm not diagnosed for OCD but I have some elements of it,strugles, fears, I worry every day,about my child, future, health... But I Try to live day by day.. I found very helpfull a book by Eckhart Tolle-the power of Now. It's about how overthinking about everything, future, tomorrow, worrying is very harmful.. It's about living in a present moment and nothing else. It s so powerfull and helpfull. But very hard of course. Anyway.. Sending lots of love for you guys from Croatia.. So proud of you Hayley!! Keep singing darl, Keep dancing.. Keep shining☀️☀️❤

Hey my darling, I’m so pleased you found this helpful ☺️ sending you lots of love 💕

Ahhh yes I DO remember plas teg 🥴 I really do hope Cornelia is happy and doing ok 🩷

[@roseXevans]

Had a little giggle when you were discussing the intrusive thoughts.. not because it’s funny at all, but because I can fully relate and I just imagined people faces when you over share and you don’t know then too well and they just look at you like 👀 💀💀

🤣 it’s so true and the worst part is I am so bad when it comes to over sharing not so much online but in person I swear I told my entire life story to a hairdresser last week I’m cringing to myself everyday since 😫🤣😆❤️
