psychologists and people who have experienced OCD. Welcome to the OCD stories.

kindly agreed to share his story of us. Now Sydney lives in Kenya so it's great to get him on to share his story and his experience with ICD.

And specifically we talk about intrusive thoughts around religion, avoiding school, the severity of his compulsions, worrying about leaving his country,

studying abroad and what that meant for his OCD, suicidal themed OCD, sexual orientationmed OCD, Sexual Orientation Themed OCD.

We discussed his journey of finding effective therapy.

Words of hope and much, much more.
