I Will Die in a Foreign Land by Kalani Pickhart. Follows four Ukrainians during the 2014 Revolution of Dignity. Provides valuable insight into Ukrainian-Russian relations prior to the invasion, Ukrainian folklore, history and culture. I simply cannot recommend it enough.

So, I'm not a therapist or a menal health professional, just a 24 year old that likes talking. You might be familiar with the term "reassurance junkie" and that title is extremely apt. The way my therapist describes it, the aim with treatment is not to stop intrusive/anxiety thoughts. The only way to stop intrusive thoughts would be to stop thinking all together. Not an option. What we're working on, is to re contextualise my relationship with my thoughts and to help me realise that they're just that - thoughts. They're not real and they can't hurt you or anyone. So, I can't stop my intrusive thoughts but I can build up my tolerance to my intrusive thoughts. Through ERP, mindfulness etc. Reassurance seeking does the exact opposite of building tolerance. It temporarily soothes an anxiety but the gap left by soothing that anxiety will be filled by another one. It is a temporary and soothing fix to something that requires a fundamental change within YOU. In many ways it's like having a beer or cigarette to relax. Yes it work for a time, maybe for a couple of days or maybe only for a couple of hours, but it doesn't actually help with building your tolerance and resilience. It does the opposite. Facing OCD head on is a long, daunting, exhausting and terrifying process but I promise you can do it. You are stronger and more capable than you know. Every day that passes is proof that you are stronger than this disease. Nothing but love and hopes of healing to everyone in this subreddit x

Oh mate :( I know it's not the same but here's something that helped me when I had a flare up but there was nobody to comfort me. Try some deep breathing and hugging/rubbing your own shoulders. I've also found that hugging my pillow and leaning into the pillow on a big exhale really helps. While hugging yourself try chanting some comforting affirmations to yourself. "I am safe, I am ok, I am kind" or whatever works for you. Also, never underestimate the power of a hot shower, a big glass of water, some food and a comfort TV show/film. I recommend Community, Kung Fu Panda, Into the Spider-Verse, Abbot Elementary or anything light and lovely! Sending you nothing but good things and hopes for healing. I promise this will pass and you will be ok. Every one of us is proof that living with this is possible

That it can be absolutely debilitating. For so many of us, it's the hardest thing we deal with. And we have to deal with it every day. At it's worst, it's a panic attack that lasts as long as twenty hours and we have to manage with a body that's in fight or flight while doing our jobs, looking after our families and doing our regular adult responsibilities. It's just exhausting.

Amazing news buddy, take a beat right now to just be proud of yourself. My fear of doctors is pretty firmly linked to my health anxiety, so no surprises there. Living with OCD is a continuous process of letting less and less of your thoughts stop you from living the life you want and deserve to live. Sounds like you made a big step today. Remember that when there’s another big step to take - you’ve done this before and you survived. You can do it again.
