In a poignant documentary directed by Oili Orispää, 21-year-old Taimi Kylväjä opens up about her ongoing battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the impact it has had on her daily life. Taimi recalls how her condition worsened over the past few years, describing moments when her intrusive thoughts were so overpowering that they convinced her of her worthlessness. In the documentary, she detailed a particularly harrowing experience in school where she realized the extent of her struggles.

Taimi shares her journey of recovery, emphasizing the challenging road ahead filled with ups and downs. She reflects on how her childhood was marked by subtle intrusive thoughts, which began as harmless compulsions but evolved into debilitating fears during her later school years. The overwhelming pressure of her thoughts made everyday activities, like caring for animals during her studies as a veterinary assistant, feel impossible and dangerous.

The documentary sheds light on the often-misunderstood nature of OCD, illustrating how it can distort a person’s perception of themselves and become all-consuming. Taimi's story aims to bring awareness to mental health struggles faced by young adults, highlighting the importance of seeking help and the potential for recovery despite the darkness of these intrusive thoughts.
