Stuck in a Doorway: An OCD Story

Documentary I did for my TV production college course about OCD and the people who suffer from it. It includes interviews with two OCD sufferers and the head of psychology at a Glasgow based university. It explains what OCD is and how it effects people and explores the causes and treatments.

I am one of the girl sacting in the vide, our lines were the testimony of REAL sufferers, as they did not want their identities to be known. This was a student film for a college course, and any enquiries should be made to the writer & director, Andrew J Moore.OCD is a very real and debilitating illness but this short piece should not be taken as a definitive guide to the condition, given that this is a showreel of a directors work.

some dude on here was like people with ocd are dumb because they should just be able to stop doing it! then he goes i had rituals for 5mins....dude that's MILD! try 2 plus hours stuck in a room because you keep going back and forth over the door threshold. or how about 4 hours to get ready for school because you cant stop washing your hands. you experience that and then try saying its easy to get over it. there's some ocd sufferers who cant even get out of their house. aah the ignorance!!!!!!!

@peridotangel83 not beeing smart but no part of pure OCD is lovely, i understand where your coming from but all parts of OCD wether you do compulsions are not are a nightmare for the person going through it.

To be honest Pure O seems a lot more lovely than full blown, lol. I suffer with it but it can be strange at times when I do things. Most is mind based though.

@ChillOnlyKetchup Oh okay then.

[ChillOnlyKetchup]

@NiceIce19 Actually, it is. I have major OCD and I thought it was funny.

Of course, it's sad. But also very humorous.

[NiceIce19]

@ChillOnlyKetchup Its not that funny... Infact its not funny at all.

ocd is a right bastard to live with, its hard to enjoy anything because of the fears it causes...its a life sentance for many of us...before ocd life was great..
