In November 2023, I was diagnosed with OCD.

That moment changed everything.

What began as a personal struggle slowly turned into advocacy. I started speaking openly about OCD — the invisible parts, the mental compulsions, the doubts, the loneliness. I shared my experience so others wouldn’t feel as alone as I once did.

In July 2026, the IOCDF Conference will take place in Seattle — one of the most important global events focused on OCD. It brings together people with lived experience, clinicians, researchers, and advocates from all over the world.

This year, I want to be there not just to attend — but to represent lived experience, take part in conversations, and help shape how OCD is understood and talked about.

Traveling from Poland to the U.S. is expensive, and I can’t make this trip without help.

By supporting this fundraiser, you’re not just helping me cover travel costs.

You’re supporting:

- OCD awareness

- lived experience advocacy

- honest conversations about mental health

Every donation, share, and message helps more than you know.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

See you in Seattle 💙
