ABOUT LET'S TALK ABOUT IT
You've probably talked to a friend or loved one about mental health at some point in time. Maybe you discussed personal challenges, or those of someone you know.
But what about all the other nuances - specific diagnoses, symptoms, stigmas and treatments. The mental health spectrum is as vast, complex and diverse as we are. Truly caring about mental health, means we're interested in every form and manifestation it comes in, and the individual people living those experiences.
Let's Talk About It is an interview series in which we take mental health conversations a layer deeper. Each episode explores a different condition - depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD. By sharing honest and diverse narratives from across the mental health spectrum, we hope to shed light on the individuality of mental illness. And remind sufferers and practitioners alike, that behind every diagnosis, is a person with unique symptoms and experiences.
ABOUT MADE OF MILLIONS
The Made of Millions foundation is a global advocacy nonprofit on a mission to change how the world perceives mental health.
Each year, millions of people around the world are diagnosed with a mental health condition. People of every age, country, gender and ethnicity. Millions more go undiagnosed, and are forced to battle their symptoms without the care and support they deserve.
As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.
Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

![What are Intrusive Thoughts? [& When They Signal Pure O OCD]](/img/n.gif)
I believe that people who are hyperactive also have a hyperactive Brain. Maybe that causes hyperactive thoughts, fear and loops?
I also suffer with pure O, OCD.
i am hyperactive i was extremly hyperactive until i was 11 then i became alot less hyperactive but when i became 13 i got hocd and still have it and its scary and fucking anyoing
Ocd can be managed but never cured. I had a relapse of it it came back glad i seeked help now knowing i can defeat this!
ocd can never be cured? what kind of weak statement is that
You can fully recover don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise
No you can recover don't believe in negative thoughts
This is one of my specialist fields
I must have ocd an ptsd, I'm not diagnosed but I just feel an know I have had ocd ever since at least 2015 when I look back at realizing things I was doin an now these days ocd seems crazy, I legit feel like a messed up person
I know I have ocd since I was 13 or something but now my theme changed and It is so much more digusting and scary and I cant shake the thought that maybe this is not ocd this time or It has never been so I keep getting stuck I feel like I can never accept that this is ocd because of how horrible the thougts and the feelings are So any advice on getting out of this denial thing or Is it not ocd this time Im sorry I cant really tell anything at this point I am unsure of everything also please excuse my english it is my second language :(( I would be really glad if someone answer
Hi there
How are you doing with respect to what you posted??
Nick
Hey there, I am sorry to hear that ocd is high levels of distress, :( as I am also diagnosed with ocd only since 3 years ago, I am telling you that you are not alone. It s great to reach out and ask for support, also brave, and you can have insight on things. Life overall will get better with treatment, acceptance and commitment, and life can really take a turn for the best, the positive thing for social media, as it has it s downsides, is that the ocd community is more visible and support or guidance or referrals to a therapist, help is more available and maybe then the actual hope increases. To give you a bit of small reassurance "if you doub t over and over if it's ocd or not, it's ocd".
@@itchaban Thanks for asking Im trying to be better
I think you should see a therapist, it can be helpful ❤️🤍
It will never be you. Its the always the OCD. The more you try to reassure yourself that its not you, the more it will feel like it is. And the stronger the emotions grows, the deeper you will have to look into it the thoughts to seek reassurance. The deeper you look into to the thought, the more responsible you will feel for having your feelings, emotions, urges, sensations etc. At the end stage of this vicious circle ocd will tell you, "This time it was you who looked into the thoughts, you wanted the thoughts". You have to be still to let the healing process begin. Only from this perspective will you truly see the thoughts, emotions etc. for what they really are. That they're infact the complete opposite of who you truly are ❤🙏✝️
