The story centers around Taimi Kylväjä, a 21-year-old who has battled severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for most of her life. She reveals that her condition is marked by haunting obsessive thoughts that compel her towards self-harm, thoughts she struggles to articulate due to their distressing nature. Taimi recounts her experiences with suicidal ideations, which she describes as a voice urging her to end her life, despite her deep-seated desire to live. These intrusive thoughts have increasingly dictated her actions over the years.

In her account featured in Oili Orispää's short documentary, titled 'OCD Commands Me to Die,' Taimi reflects on how her life began to spiral out of control as the thoughts became more persistent. She has followed through on some of these compulsions, leading to multiple overdoses and severe self-inflicted injuries, including third-degree burns. Taimi shares her alarming reality, where she often found herself in need of urgent medical attention, with ambulance calls becoming a frequent occurrence, drawing attention to the severity of her mental health struggles.

Despite her life-threatening situation, Taimi expresses frustration that her need for inpatient treatment has been repeatedly dismissed by mental health assessments. Her story sheds light on the broader issues faced by individuals with similar mental health disorders in seeking adequate support and care, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing the complexities of OCD and its impact on one's life.
