Living With OCD Intrusive Thoughts

This week on For The Hayters Podcast, Noah opens up about living with OCD — not the stereotype of cleaning or checking, but the reality of intrusive thoughts of harming others. Noah shares how these thoughts began in childhood, intensified during his time in the Army, and led to multiple hospital stays before finally receiving a diagnosis in 2020.Through therapy, medication, and exposure and response prevention, Noah has learned to separate who he is from what his thoughts tell him. His story is a powerful reminder that OCD is widely misunderstood, and that people living with it deserve compassion, support, and community.To connect with this week’s guest, you can reach out to them through: @noxaoe96Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share to help us continue bringing these stories to light.🔹 New episodes drop every Monday!🔹 Follow us on Instagram: @forthehayters🔹 Submit your story: [email protected]🔹 Grab some merch! beckyhayter.com🔹 A KILLR Network podcast! killrentertainment.comIf you or someone you know needs support, please visit:988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988lifeline.org | Call or text 988International OCD Foundation: iocdf.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
