I am in Iceland. My 83 year old mother has OCD. She is so ashamed. Thank you for explaining to me. Love and light.

Wow! One of the best OCD videos I have seen on Youtube and I have seen hundreds! This has motivated me to keep on fighting and given me hope to take back my life. Thanks again!

My Peom ; Your Bum Is Safe

I can see from your reacting composure that I make you feel exposure. But you should know that this tourettic stare, comes from OCD, there's no intent in which its lent, just the deep blue sea of OCD uncertainty.

I feel my own stress and panic flare when I unintentionally catch you there with a stare and then perplexed in the trauma and the shame, I tear my self down inside again and again.

Like touretts but from the eyes it won t be a shout or word i unleash on you to both our surprise. But a stare, a glimpse, a peripheral linger. Its not staring of a intrusive nature in that there's no enjoyment or pursuit. Easy to misunderstand for you, if i were in your shoes I'd lightly feel uneasy too. But like touretts it's a harmless disorder, that brings the sufferer a 100 times the trauma. By Lucy Gregory
