Get to know OCD

Living 32 Years Without Knowing I Had OCD


Listen Later

Chelsea Risko spent over three decades living with fear, shame, and doubt she couldn’t name. From childhood worries to intrusive thoughts on her wedding day, OCD shaped her life in ways she didn’t understand. It all came crashing down in 2021, when she was hit with terrifying self-harm thoughts that made her question everything — even though she loved her life and family. That moment left her desperate for answers, and for the first time, she discovered what OCD really was.


Finding the right help changed everything. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Chelsea began to face the fears that once controlled her and found the freedom she had been missing for so long. In this episode, she shares her journey from fear to recovery, the strength she discovered along the way, and why she now speaks out to break the stigma around OCD and give others hope.
