“It starts off small. Insignificant but niggling.

I pick up on a stimulus. My mind racks through whether it is threatening, whether it is evil.

I try to ignore it, but it starts to itch in my mind. Eventually you have to scratch.”

Sam lives with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It makes everyday life repeatedly exhausting and unbearable. He wants to try and show you how it really feels. A show about mental illness, irrational rational fears, and how we learn to cope in unsettling times.
