<p>You know those thoughts that pop into your head? &quot;What if I just opened this car door on the motorway?&quot; Or &quot;If I don&#39;t touch that lamppost in 10 seconds, someone I love will die.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>Adam Lind lived with intrusive thoughts so severe, he&#39;d wake up every morning thinking &quot;what&#39;s the point?&quot; — until he discovered he wasn&#39;t his mind. And he proved it by hitchhiking across 26 countries with £5,000 and a backpack.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation goes deep: from OCD and health anxiety, to why external freedom (living on a narrowboat, travelling the world) means nothing if you&#39;re still trapped inside your head.
