OCD, Panic Attacks & Anxiety | Jacob Hatch’s Story
Episode 5
Monday, 13 April, 2026
In this episode of The Checkered Jaguar, Jacob Hatch shares his personal experience living with OCD, panic attacks, and anxiety, and what it was like to go years without fully realizing what he was experiencing was actually Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.Jacob opens up about how his symptoms first began, how OCD showed up in different ways throughout his life, and the emotional toll of living in a constant state of fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm. We also talk about how trauma can shape the way anxiety and control show up in adulthood, and what it looks like to finally gain language for something that once felt impossible to explain.This is an honest, vulnerable, and eye-opening conversation for anyone who has ever struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, or mental health challenges that felt bigger than they could fully understand.#ocd #mentalhealth #anxiety
