Guest Icicle Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Overall Jon did a great job presenting it, especially when he was angry at OCD and how clearly moved he was by the mother's story of her son. He dealt with it sensitively and respectfully, even managing to upset the usually jovial Russell Howard when he spoke about sleeping in the car. I felt that the documentary definitely showed people that OCD is no laughing matter but more work needs to be done to show what a variety of symptoms/types of OCD someone can present with. Yeah I agree with this, I thought he did a brilliant job and was very respectful and understanding of each person he spoke to - Must admit I fell a little bit in love with him :love: :laugh: Link to comment
Guest 4myboy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I can relate to the not wanting to watch programs about OCD when you have to live with it 24/7. My son was featured(the 16 yr old) but had little interest in watching it. He did it to raise awareness and I am proud of him for that. He does not want to read about it either. I, however, am keen to learn all can so that I can understand John and fight his corner. I have started a blog about being he parent of an OCD teen to help me offload and hopefully help someone in the same situation. www.hiddeninclearview.wordpress.com He doesn't like to talk about it, and I respect that, so it helps me to blog.

Guest Zonegirl Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Your son is amazing! He and you should be so proud! Your blog is really interesting too! I really hope he gets all the help he deserves xxxx Link to comment
Guest littlerosie Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I agree with everything that's been said, but thought I'd add my 2 pence! I was really worried about watching it, what if it was insensitive and made me angry? Happily it wasn't, I felt it was an accurate and sensitive portrayal of the condition, it was so incredibly emotional too. I sincerely hope those who watched it that don't suffer understood the take home message; that OCD is more than 'wanting things neat' and 'washing your hands lol'. I thought those who participated were wonderful, so brave to reveal so much to millions of people. All in all a great documentary. Link to comment
