OCD is really really stressful
Its making our life nightmare
@@ZaynPilot true
It's so hard to deal with it it's annoying and destructive to mind
@@isiah6332 definitely!
@@toyablender yeah
I have OCD, and I hate it when people claim they have OCD just to get attention and be "cool", apparently having a mental disease is a "trend" these days. OCD is not just wanting your room do be neat, OCD can make an impact on your life...
Ikr!?!? People at my school act like they have ocd so they can get what they want 😡😡😡😠 and also they act like this is some cleaning disorder and it makes me so mad
Lol . Ocd is so far from cool. I suppose it helps get a job done really well but who needs the stress...
i had a girl in my class who insisted she had ocd, and was 'self diagnosed.' she would do stuff like tidy up her pencils in an order, for sympathy and attention. pathetic
@@Honestly__now dude it’s not related to just cleaning some people do make everything clean but in many other cases there are differences Ik cause I also have ocd u can’t control your actions u will do what your brain tells you even when u know it’s strange and doesn’t make sense
Hello everyone, if you want to get rid of this fucking disease. Follow these steps.
1: Keep yourself busy in positive things. If you will stay free. This disease will overcome you.
2: Focus on the present and do not listen to these fucking thoughts.
3: Set a goal and stick to it.
4: Control your anxiety. Do exercise and some games.
It's like someone's controlling you, it's so hard to cope I've had it my entire life it's too hard
I totally understand you I’ve dealt with ocd I think since childhood it just so exhausting and debilitating but there is help for us! Seek don’t give up prayers your way!!😊
Hang in there brother! Im up all night doing rituals. Im watching this video to, hopefully, break the cycle, breathe, and just take the leap of faith to keep another ritual from going over 20 minutes. It can be done. … I also gotta get back into CBT therapy.
It’s wasting my time. I don’t like to do it but I need to because if I don’t if feel so unconfortable and I’m getting mad to my self. I have this since in my grade 6 and i’m now in grade 10. It’s getting too annoying so I think its time to tell my parents but I can’t. But I think I can cure this by my self. Help me if you’re already cured.
@@mae427 hello,you should definitely tell your parents I know it’s hard but they love you and they want to help you the y just need to understand how you feel, I have it too and it helps when you can share your feeling with someone you trust. Good luck and may god give us peace
I too have it, it's so painful to fit in normal functioning society 😕
EXACTLY, all the people in my school even teachers say it's about tidying, I'm the only person in school who knows what ocd is
Yeep
Same, aside from my one other friend who actually has OCD but we don’t have any classes together so we can’t talk.
Same
Yeah from the whole people I know like my whole family and whole school I think I'm the only one who has ocd😭😭😭😭 I keep wasting water and keep doing things again and again which is awkward in front of others
No,people with ocd believe that only they are being hurt or these thoughts are erupting only in their minds...it happens to all..this one thing itself is so reliieving that everyone includingg ur ex has to go through this sometime or rther in life
OCD is actually so painful and annoying. A lot of people use this term to look cool. It's not a trend. It's not about being organized. It's a disorder. For me, it has become stronger over the years. I experience it so often. It hurts when I try to not think about something but my mind still focuses on that. I try to change the subject through a distraction but it doesn't work easily. It's getting harder for me. No matter how hard I try. I hope someday it gets way. 🥺
Feel you bc of my OCD "rituals" i get like 2 hours sleep everyday
I have OCD and I just recently spoke to a therapist. It’s starting to help me a bit but it takes time. OCD is not about being a perfectionist or tidying. I hate when people say why don’t you just stop. The thing is it’s really hard to stop and it takes time but eventually I believe I and anyone else suffering from this can move past it :)
Has therapy helped? I've thought about going but im worried talking about it more will make it worse, I usually try to forget about it and focus on other stuff but sometimes its just impossible to ignore
yeah
@@porkeywings therepy can be anything, even self therepy but you never wana hide or ignore a problem, that makes shit worse. you have to be ok with talking about it
You are ryt i have ocd ..i suffering from this ..
It’s hard to stop
OCD is real and I'm living it! Makes leaving the house or travelling very stressful.
@Esther Amelia May GOD bless you. I know how tough OCD is. Still battling
it's so hard lol cus whenever i eat or make food or something, i would always look at the exp date and say it over and over again until i feel better. before i submit my schoolworks, i would check my answers for like, idk, 6 times or something. whenever i read books and there's noise around, i would read the sentence again and again until i completely understand it and sometimes i even say "period" so that i can continue reading.
I understand you so much, you have no idea. It feels like you need to be in complete silent to fulfill your task properly
I hate it when im about to eat
My mind tell me that, Ohh i should prepare my water incase i choke. Its so frustrating that my mind think whats gonna happen. And you cant do anything rather than be worried
I might look like a perfectionist but im not. And i just notice that. I hate it when i worried about so little things.
I want all thing to be organized or arranged
I thought OCD was just a behavior, didn’t know it was connected with intrusive thoughts
Very informational ty :)
Yaaaaaayyy someone isn't denying the fact that ocd isn't a cleaning disorder thank you for accepting me and my fellow three percent people with ocd
It really sucks... I don’t want to keep thinking about hurting someone...
i am not a violent person.
I also have thoughts about jumping in front of a train, even though I am not suicidal in any way... it’s scary
In the DSM 5, both Obsessions and compulsions alone are diagnosable as OCD.
Behavior originates from thought...duuhh
It's a living nightmare...
I had OCD a couple years ago and managed to overcome it by very slowly using logic to learn i didn't have to do specific things or even parts of things. Now its coming back an i hope i can overcome it again.
I hate my sister i just felt like beating her so hard because she touched me without washing hands after using toilet
Please help me 😭
May God Bless Everyone😇🙏🏻😇😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Could you please share in detail if ylu took soke counselling or soething. Because it happens with ocd suffering people that they want to quit but then they start feeling bad and start again. If one wants to be free frok these chains what all should one do. Or the self motivation only helped you
Well I wish good luck to you and wish you'll be free from. Ocd permanently
@sarah laux , did you mean you used logic to get rid of ocd ? , if so can you explain the logic ?
I recovered from OCD and you can definitely recover. Do ERP as much as possible and refuse reaction.
Plz help me what is erp nd how can i do it
Bro plz tell me how to cure ocd 😭😭
@@steveroy4373 what type ocd do you have, I have breathing ocd and am getting better every day not fully recovered yet but I barely notice it now. Recovery is possible 🙏😇
@@tallmidget1395 i have doubting ocd, thinking about past.. in past some sins that i never did i know that very well but my mind saying to me that u did that sin like that..then i start argue with my mind, i think too much about it n I say to my mind i never did that sin so plz leave me like that
@@steveroy4373 okay, maybe try something called mindfulness. Except the thoughts and agree and thin say "oh well I guess I did do the sin what ever" sarcastically because the more we try to fight with our mind the harder it's gonna be. Except it and move on from the thought and as he keep happening do the same thing just brush it off and don't run from the thoughts embrace them because like you said if you know you didn't do it then that's just the ocd talking trying to fool you or get you worried or worked up don't play it's game you're brain is fine it's just that ocd annoying ass moved in and is trying to screw with your mind show it who's boss and own it.be open to the thought embrace it but don't act on it or truly believe it when they come up just brush them off sarcastically like "yeah alright sure I did that" I really hope this helps you and I'm here for you because people was here for me and it helped
Worst things about it is that it can occur in teenage and person just loses his sanity and rational thinking and his career family everything gets destroyed.
U are absolutely right that happen to me
I am a teenager and its really disturbing
Ik I have ocd since I was 9
I used to have a mild case in my early teens and thankfully managed to overcome this.
My wife has a very severe case of OCD where everything must be cleaned. She hates dust and hair the most. Once something is used it needs to be wiped down thoroughly. This ranges from her hair brush after brushing her hair to cleaning up the whole bathroom after using the toilet/shower. We tend not to go out anymore now as much because she can not put her make up on as if she takes it out it'll take her longer to clean it up afterwards. Our relationship is suffering and she is too. It hurts me to watch her do these things. I have tried to stop her, the same way I stopped myself through sheer will and rational thinking, but she says that when I tell her to stop, it causes her to do more. On the flip side she also asks me to help her. Especially when she blames me for the compulsions. An example that happened recently is after she used cream on her face I put the cream back in to the draw without wiping it. She then ended up up wiping the cream tub extra long, and then spent 2 hours wiping the draw. And asking me to help her with getting her towels etc. I Know I shouldn't listen or help her with her compulsions as this makes it worse but then we just argue. Life is tough for us and I know it is tough for her. It's gotten to the point where she doesn't want medical help and says that she likes doing the cleaning. That she'd rather everything be clean and spotless rather than do anything else.
I don't know who to share this with so I'll just leave it here. I pray to God she becomes better and we live our lives normally
This is so heartbreaking. My mother is going through something very similar, more so to be accurate. But it's hard for us to get her into treatment. You could try by visiting a therapist once. Just take her. Even if she refuses. Tell her she doesn't have to put on makeup at all
Yeah, ocd is the worst. May God cure her
"We tend not to go out anymore now as much because she can not put her make up on " wait you wont go out with her if she doesnt put on makeup? damn man thats kinda harsh.
in all seriousness tho she needs to get some help, its not healthy and its ruining the relationship and you should push her to get some. can also look at meditation and grounding , perhaps wim hof method, but like she has to wana do that, if she prefers to be in the state of cleaning all the time, idk what to tell you, got to ask yourself if thats what you want to live with.
i cant imagine what sex is like, does she shower for 2 hours? what if she fondout how dirty the water really is or all the shit flying in the air, or every time you flush all that cirvulates in the air
Don't stop convincing her to get help
She's miserable just like i am
And my partner got me to get the first session today after months of argueing and fighting
We fought even today
But she doesn't know i am grateful for this
Don't fucking leave this situation be
Don't evrr stop trying
If you were in her place you'd want your suffering to end
Even tho its hard
It makes me mad that you've just kinda
Yk given up already
@@kirill2525 he means she likes to wear makeup when they go out but since it takes a long time for her to clean it all up and she HAS to clean it up, they don't really go out anymore seeing as it takes so much time for her to put everything back in its place.
I had ocd as a child, I had to feel everything balanced or I would get mad, same amount of steps in each square on the floor, same gummies amount in each side of the mouth, if I hit my right arm I had to also hit the left arm to feel good, but someday I forgot it and didn't have it for time. Now i think it's coming back and I hope I can forget it again.
I have to lock my door 10 times then touch my lock even though I know and see its lock I dont feel right so I still twist it til I feel it's ok...sometimes Im There at door for 30 mins then when lay down sometimes I get back out of bed because something doesn't feel right and I'm back to square one...😪😟
I can relate
Oh..exactly me, are you still suffering?
If anyone want to cure yourself than contact me on whatsapp i guarantee you i will cure your ocd within 3 month contact number +91 7652010840
same here
Shut up i counted how many times i blinked
I love how most people watching already have ocd and are probably here for reassurance.
Most times you cant see OCD that’s why people just say “your just organised” “your just overthinking, stop” like NO do you know what it feels like to be trapped with these thoughts ALL DAY “just don’t listen to them it’s no that’s hard” like NOOO if it was that easy do you really think I would still do it!
all. day.
The thoughts never stop
i hate seeing people faking intrusive thoughts. it's disturbing to lose control of yourself, especially when the thoughts are disturbing. It's not something you want or can understand if you haven't experienced it.
For those who have OCD and other anxiety disorder,i hope you will able to handle and recover,i also suffer from this (ODC) and i understand how you feel.
I have primarily obsessional OCD and scrupulosity. I deal with intrusive thoughts that have made me want to kill myself multiple times. Luckily, I have not attempted.
My scrupulosity has to do with swearing, inappropriate jokes, and rules. If someone swears around me, my compulsion is to tell them to knock it off, and I will often gain more anxiety if they don’t listen to me or continue. Same with inappropriate jokes. This makes me susceptible to bullying, as someone who I thought was a friend started swearing pretty badly around me just to trigger me. Another thing is rules. Rules must be followed or I’ll have a panic attack.
Another thing is that I must get high grades or I’ll have a panic attack. I also can’t get in any form of trouble or I get anxious.
I’m also very sensitive to sudden, loud, and especially high-pitched noise.
Last thing is that I have OCPD, which is why I am a perfectionist and enforce my rules onto others.
I am seeing a therapist and am about to go through CBT. I am in high school, by the way.
Every single time I bring up the topic of my OCD with my parents they would usually just ignore me all together, but sometimes they do engage with conversation but they just think that everything I do is just to seek attention from my parents...I have anxciety whether my parents are near me or not, when my anxciety gets out of hand I HIDE AWAY to cry alone, yet I'm somehow trying to grab attention -_-
I used to take meds and have therapy sessions back in february, but due to the lockdown my parents won't buy me more meds so I'll just be stuck with my OCD for a while
I have a weird habit of adjusting things until I feel they are perfect. Take my bookshelves: I always check that the books are pushed so that they rest firmly against the back of the bookcase. Even if they're snugly in place, it's like I still have to touch them and make sure.
I can relate bro
I also have this
Related 😭
I just want to be normal like my friends 😭
Me too! But don't worry, we can overcome this together, all of us are in the same situation. We just have to push those thoughts away from our minds, it will be very hard, but what matters is that we are going to always try to achieve it! Sending lots of love your way!❤❤
Dont wrry u will come out of this problem infact I also affected by this problem but postive mind is Imp thing ❤️
Only ocd is my reason to start my own CZcams channel
same
@@borutouzumaki098 yes we can
Downside is I can’t go to sleep unless my bathroom door is closed and sometimes I have to stare at a certain thing for a certain amount of time for me to be satisfied, upside is I always get my homework done and my locker is really organized
Same me bro.....
Me : ouch! I step on lego!
Brain: *DO IT AGAIN*
OH MY GOSH IKR???
Omg this is so me
I don't have OCD either. Thanks Yahshua, help the ones who have. Amen
Pray for me brotha. I’m goin thru it.. all praise to the most high
@@moopy7742 ik it’s late but don’t worry u can make it we will make it together
Im tired of this ocd thing, i've been missing a lot in my life thanks for it, im exhausted mentally, physically, in everything, im tired battling and accepting things against my own mind every single day, i want to die, but it'll bothersome for others, i want to tell someone about this but im scared of how would their react about this? They prolly think im crazy and laugh it off, im tired.
Please try spiritual practice ( if possible under the guidance of a spiritual teacher) and reading Bible daily will definitely helpful.
Hey, you are not alone, people around you might not understand, but we do, seek help, I just did, it’s worth a shot isn’t it?
I though I was the only one that had whatever I was having but it is actually OCD :(
Sameeee and the worst part was that I couldn't even tell anyone, because they'd thought I was crazy or something. OCD isn't that well known in my country so I had no clue what it was or that I had it. But I did more research on the internet and I found out.
@@borutouzumaki098 Ye :/ also, update like I think I have some of it if that makes sense. Because of the stuff, I was dealing with it was incredibly difficult for me to know what the name wot it was. But I think I have a bit of that since it's not that bad anymore though it plays a part.
Hey , how are you doing now ?
@@srihithbuddharaju5944 HOOOO I am doing WAYYYYY better than 2 years ago and even better than through out this year. I have learned to not let OCD dictate my life as much. Slip ups do happen but, they’re not as bad as before WHOOPI. Thank ye for asking 🤠 This is my new account btw ✌🏼
An OCD patient thinks that he is the only one going through difficulties. Everyone go through difficult times but they control it. And OCD patient cannot control himself.
for my entire life i have always had tics. i also get intrusive thoughts that tell me i dont do anything good enough. when i do something there's always a voice in the back of my mind that commands me to do it again but in a different way. seeing this made me recognize a lot of the things and i do wonder if i might have ocd myself, still im nowhere near the level this video is representing, so if i do have ocd, it would be a light form (maybe you call that just tics i dont really know). my heart goes out to all the people that suffer from this, it sounds terrible. i hope those people will find peace within themselves eventually.
My medications acted like it was helping but it didn't, my
therapist made it worse. I have microdosed golden
teachers shrooms for 4months now, and I have never felt
this better before! Look at my CZcams title he's the best
mycologists I have ever encountered!…..
This really is a wonderful video simply explaining everything about ocd.❤️
It's feels like someone is controlling me.. I can't do anything on my own.. This thing is just making my life more harder and nothing else
we can beat this i love you guys! 🙏🏽❤️
If someone have very mild or no signs of ocd but if that person have toxic family system or if someone is suffering from stress it will become very much severe
i dont think i have it but sometimes i say smth like "Do it now or someone dies!" n sometimes doing hw i say "dont drink until ur done!"
Thanks. Another helpful resource is that book "30 Days to Stop Obsessing" by Harper Daniels.
I've had OCD and Clinical Depression all my life (I'm 65). Depression medication has helped tone down my rituals, but I still have the manifestations of things in my home have to be sitting in their place 'perfectly'. And my kitchen sink MUST be completely free of anything and wiped down....or I go nuts. I don't have rugs with 'fringe' because I have to 'comb' the fringe straight ALL the time. I know I've missed out on a LOT of living because of OCD and even THAT stresses me out!!!
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
I don't know if I have OCD (though I do have ADHD and general anxiety disorder) so here's some of the things I do.
1. Whenever I eat I have to count how many bites I take out of my food and it must be half or a multiple of my age in the end. (Typically 70 or 140 because I like even numbers and zeros)
2. Relating to number 1, if I am eating multiple pieces of the sane food (like chicken nuggets or pizza for example) I have to take the exact same number of bites out of each piece to add up to a specific multiple of my age or half of my age (like 35, 70, or 140).
3. When I drink bottled water I have to drink in sevens, but I have to swallow three times while holding the bottle in my right hand, once in the middle with both hands, and then three more times with my left, and the occasional rinse and repeat.
4. If I do something strange and get a sensation on one side (Like hitting my desk in a certain way) then I have to copy it exactly on the other side.
At least I'm good at math.
For now this is all I can think of. I'm not officially diagnosed because my mom says the ADHD medicine should help, but I'm not so sure.
I don’t know if i have it either but I do the exact same thing you do except for number 1 when I eat cereal or something using a spoon I have to put my entire mouth on it and nothing can fall down because if it does, then I tell myself things won’t happen like for example I won’t get to marry a specific person.. I know it sounds ludicrous but if I don’t do it I get stressed and can’t eat
@@itsmebri1645 Damn, I know that feeling. It's awful.
Aw..here i am, also suffering from this things...in this moment also 😏
Capricorn Of January 4th Bakugou vs Deku The worse one that I have though that affects my everyday life is number 4.... If I touch one side of something I HAVE to touch the other side for my anxiety to lessen.. like the other night I was watching a movie with family, my mom asked me to turn the screen to the right, so I did, and had to use my right hand to turn it.. then I turned it a little to the left again, since I touched the right side, with my left hand in order for it to be even
You hwve ocd
So I was diagnosed with ocd about a year ago and I hate when people are like I’m sorting colours and I’m organized but I’m the most unorganized person on earth,thing I do that are compulsive are checking my closet dresser drawers and under my bed when I wake up,brush my teeth and go to bed,and I’m not scared but if I don’t do it I feel like something bad is gonna happen.Other things such as everything that comes to my mind I can NOT forget my notes are filled with a mix of random everything from list and my schedule
OCD works like a Twitter algorithm in the same way that the Twitter algorithm finds the most aggravating things and runs them on your feed so you stay addicted but instead the OCD finds the most terrible thoughts in your mind and place and over and over again to torment you.
Please try spiritual practice ( if possible under the guidance of a spiritual teacher) and reading Bible daily will definitely helpful. There is connection between spirituality and overall health. So it will definitely help.
I need help from someone who is educated about ocd or who has ocd,i have two alarms which are set for everyday of the week,at night before sleeping i check if do not disturb is turned on,if the brightness is at lowest if my alarms are set and set the volume(always the same).I check my alarms first by looking at other numbers(clock,date...)and then look at the numbers on my alarm one by one until im sure its the right number,when it tells me how much time till my alarm,i add it to the current time to check if itll ring at the right time,i repeat this many times until it feels right,sometimes i spend 10,15 minutes and get really angry and pinch myself or hit something or myself,is this ocd?i have a couple other things that make me think i have ocd this is probably my most problematic one,sorry for such a long comment❤
I’m finally being treated for this. I’m so thankful.
please tell me how .
please help me.
I have this where for example , I drop a pillow of from my bed , and sometimes it is bent in half , and that really sets me off , and I really hate when objects are destroyed because I feel like everything has its own sentimental value
I pull both sides of my pillow since my pillow cover has two sides and one overlaps the other I have to make sure the other is overlapping the other one really well and then I hold it firmly and place it on it’s place without budging it even slightly. If I don’t succeed I do it until my mind is satisfied
Me too I fell like even a piece of paper has sentimental value😭😭😭
This is so me
I have some kind of ocd but not diagnosed. But it is very obvious, and I do not need any doctor to say that I have it because I already know. I also have tinnitus.
I also know how to change my "rituals", but I can not stop them, always has to be some ritual. I can only change them but not stop, is that normal?
Yeah my ritual is i just like My one hand "blows" wind on the other but i cant touch it because if i do i start again.Like an air spray can except im doing it with my hands.
It is not normal and having ocd since i was small my advice is to look into exposure therapy that is the only way. Expose yourself and let the anxiety ride out once you repeat this and habituate your trigger decreases instead of creating new rituals to decrease the anxiety. It will continue if you give in which is the rituals and over thinking. Good luck to you its a bitch of a disorder but you can do it!
this is exactly the same as me and it’s so stressful
Same!!
I also have tinitus zovercome ocd andvstress or it will lewd to multiple sclerosis
I've always been OCD, but the older I've gotten the worse it seems to be getting. Now at 50 it's becoming unbearable for my family.
My advice to you is to keep yourself busy and distract yourself, stressfull situations dont help with ocd but try not to give in to the rituals you do and remember. Nothing will happen if you dont follow up with your ocd tendoncies. Hope you overcome your ocd👍
I deal with OCD.
I tend to think about certain numbers such as 2, 4, 5, or 6 or any even numbers.
The one I deal with the most is the intrusive thoughts. I'm still working on them, but they are not fun or easy to deal with.
I also tend to think about unimportant things over and over again, i dont know if that"s ocd, but i just can never satisfy with myself, it's like there's always something that force me to keep doing it even tho i fully realize how unimportant it is
I know the struggles
I've said this again, but like, I feel that intrusive thoughts ruined my childhood. I spent what was suposed to be my happiest years thinking I was evil and impure because all those disturbing thoughts and images popped up in my head. I only learned that it's an ocd symptom this year and I cried.
I have every type of ocd. Right now while typing.
I’m not completely sure if I have OCD but I have a lot of intrusive thoughts (and always have) and I have this idea that the even numbers are good, so if I have a word, say education, I’ll count the letters out in my hands and if the word is uneven I’ll try and reform the sentence in a way that the sentence will have an even amount of letters. I hope this doesn’t sound as ridiculous as I think it does, but this task is very time consuming if I do it over and over (which I tend to do) and if I don’t do it I think something bad will happen. I was just wondering if this sounded like ocd to anyone?
I watched this every day 😓
I find this OCD therapist very useful. He has

I wash my hands so much they bleed, i carry a water bottle with me where ever i go so that i can rinse of my hands, and hand sanitizer. If i can't wash my hands i get really anxious, i hate touching peoples hands or when somebody touches something of mine like my phone a controller... I get really stressed out, but no one understands me, everyone always says Just stop! But it's not that easy. Yes. I do want to stop but i just can't.
Pine Needles_ You are not alone. You’re like me. My hands are so dry to the point that when it gets wet, it kinda sting. I put sanitizers anyways. I wish I could just stop it, but I can’t.
I can relate but I stopped taking hand sanitizer to school and now a take a moisturising soap instead so it’s safer for my hands but they still are dry and have cuts because I wash them for to long. It’s really horrible that my mind tells me to wash things that others have touched or whatever and I really want to stop which actually I can for a few days then I start again, it’s so stressful. It’s also making my parents ill and I am only 13 and I’m trying my best to get out of it, it’s the worst.
@ᚐᚇᚆᚐᚋᚆ ᚋᚐᚉ ᚉᚑᚅᚉᚆᚒᚔᚏ I still wash my hands too often, it's gotten much better though to the point where my hands no longer bleed most of the time and are relatively normal and smooth, sometimes I do overdue it and they start bleeding again for a bit, where I have to pay attention to let my hands heal and not wash them too much. The fear of having other people touch my stuff is definitely gone down and it doesn't bother me nearly as much anymore, but it's still there. Overall I've made many improvements, but I still struggle with it sometimes 😊
@@pineneedles_8845 I've had this for a long time. I guess the real solution that worked for me is to try to stop using soap or anything else to wash your hands and just water. Over time, your hands will heal and the cuts will go away. Just try your best to stop repeating and proceeding action. I know the urge and anxiety gets really intense, but the only possible way to stop is to refuse action, even if it makes you lose your sanity many times.
something that helped me with obsessive hand washing: if I keep washing my hands all the time, my immune system will not improve. if I wash them less often, the germs my body is exposed to will boost my immune system and so it is a good thing to wash your hands less (this is a fact, and hope this helps someone else)
My medications acted like it was helping but it didn't, my
therapist made it worse. I have microdosed golden
teachers shrooms for 4months now, and I have never felt
this better before! Look at my CZcams title he's the best
mycologists I have ever encountered!….
Managing school and overall workload is so triggering for ocd it’s honestly unbearable
I don’t know if I have it but I watched at video on autism when it was autism awareness and for some reason I started getting all scared and anxious asking myself if I’m autistic when I know I’m not and I went home doing research and I wouldn’t believe the articles.And it has been like that for everything me telling myself That tall people die faster when they obviously don’t and getting anxious and going to sleep and not waking up and soon it made me dizzy and I lost my awareness of my surroundings only partial awareness was there
I have a tattoo that covers an old one. I can see the old one through it and this alone has caused me extremely bad moments
then please have you thought about lasering both of them off?
You don't fix a problem of mental health by removing them.
I read about a Japanese philosophy called kintsugi. Strongly reckoned it.
Thanks. The book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels was also helpful.
My friend recommended I need to read too
i've been suffering from ocd since about a year or more, i have these certain steps i do every night or i don't get satisfied or have thoughts like, 'if i dont do my steps, tomorrows gonna be bad' i also have a thing with germs, and tidiness. the 'steps' i do every night also include cleaning my room, putting everything perfectly in place, and drinking water three times. The problem is that i'm still a teenager (13) and I'm scared to tell my family so it's hard for me to get help.. I basically don't want my family to worry.
Please try spiritual practice ( if possible under the guidance of a spiritual teacher) and reading Bible daily will definitely helpful.
Thank you
We are convinced that our daughter’s OCD is very much a coping mechanism for her severe GAD. She is nowhere near ready to engage in ERP, but hope she’ll get there someday; meanwhile we allow her her compulsions because it allows her to be more functional overall.
I have OCD, ADHD, PTSD and I wish if I just can ignore every unwanted thought I get every second, ISTG I just take a lot of time to drink water, eat or making something to drink and I end up crying at any corner of the house while doing something and get interpreted with my thoughts, the thoughts that I didn't want to think about in the first place and it's all coming on EVERYTHING.
No, I can't afford therapy nor that where I live they can do anything, they only care about money and I really hope I can just stop it.
Say about the situations which I am facing in day today life I really don't have extra cleanliness or I don't wash my hands repeatedly I don't want any of the senses but the thing is that I am so much into negative thoughts intrusive thoughts always come into my brain and overcome that I keep on saying myself positive this happen so much for long duration of time and I do imagine a structures in brain and make sure they are fulfilled symmetric and all then I'll be happy I touch things repeatedly and it makes me happy and the most important thing is going on my life is like that I do things repeatedly and if anything happens to me a good favour I keep on doing the same things putting in same place and manner is really a stressful think and I I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible so please share your experiences and tips to overcome this OCD and and please help me and share our experiences with Me!!
I am not trying to self diagnose but I feel like I may have OCD, because I constantly check things over and over and over, and often when I walk, I try to walk in a pattern so that each foot steps on the floor tiles the same amount of times. The thing that is worst for me is that every time I see text/ words I count them in a rhythm of twos, to see if there is an even amount of letters. If there is not, I hid my breath until I find another piece of text to look at and I count that too until there is an even amount of letters altogether. It is so annoying; I don’t know if it is ocd and it is just awkward talking to my family about it because my brain tries to convince me that I don’t have it, that I am fine, when I am not :(
Such a big part of getting on the road to recovery is being honest with yourself about it! It’s far easier said than done and acknowledging that it’s there can be a scary thing but I absolutely believe in you. May not mean much from a stranger on the internet but as someone who’s working through the same process as well I have faith that this is a small part the both of us are capable of. Parents can be awkward to tell but they are a necessary step in getting the help we need, depending on what we really even need help on. (I have similar compulsions and you’re not alone, I wish you the best!)
I have this one friend that always tells me I have OCD but I deny it. To be honest, I like things the way they should be and to have a routine stay a certain way, but I don’t feel the need to fix it every time I notice it. I do struggle with the “being clean” part of OCD, but I can successfully force myself to ignore it. It mentally hurts, but I can fight back. I do not believe I have OCD, but maybe something more minor; if you might know what I am or am not, please let me know in response! Oh and I also have this thing where I take things literal and have a hard time “taking the joke”. Is there a name for this?
@ᚐᚇᚆᚐᚋᚆ ᚋᚐᚉ ᚉᚑᚅᚉᚆᚒᚔᚏ Ah, alright. Thank you for responding!
Anyone here have physical harm OCD? How do I stop it? How do I snap out of it if I get stuck in a loop that's taking too much out of me? If I get hurt on one side of my body I feel like I have to do it on my other side to feel even. I barely ever get the same amount of pain or pressure on the other side so I will do it again and again and again until both sides are equally hurt.
I do that too! I thought I was the only one. I don’t really know how to stop it, I feel like we just need to think to ourselves logically that we can be in control of our own body. Just resist it. It is really difficult and I struggle too but sometimes I distract myself or just tell myself not to which is all you can really do :/
I feel like I always have to move my fingers on both sides and things on my body and I also have many ticks and I always check on the lock and turn the light off like 10 times before turning it off.
oceanxbloom, if I tap my finger on one side two times and the other one I have to tap it one more time to make 2.....
#Foxes Forever me too
Or it feels like uneven or something idk how to explain it
oceanxbloom same I also have to touch the other side of something.. like when I’m watching a CZcams video, I have a ritual: I touch the right side of the screen first to make all the buttons disappear, then I have to do it once on the left with my left thumb, and once in the middle with my right thumb, and one more time in the middle with my left
Now don’t get concerned or go googling your symptoms, I’m commenting this to loads of people but when reading your comment you said you have OCD symptoms and ticks, just to be safe do your research on “PANDAS/PANS”. Basically it happens when ticks and/or OCD suddenly appear or worsen after a streptococcal infection. You probably don’t have it just spreading awareness and making sure.
Same me too 😭😭😭 I keep wasting water and I on the lights just like u
Okay so i don't know if i really have it but, every time i finish washing dishes or washing my hands i close the faucet then when i turn around i feel like it's still not close so i just look at it for a minute then check it with my hand if it's really close and i always do it it's so annoying. Same with if i really close the refrigerators door or cabinets it's so annoying.
I have literally no idea if I have it but people keep telling me I should go see a therapist or something.Its like someone is making u do stuff,like I can't walk 5steps on my right foot with doing it on my left again to make it feel right.I always touch stuff a certain amount of times until it feels right.I somehow can't leave anything that i done unless it feels right and If I leave it I get annoyed/out of order
I have ocd and I don’t like to clean but I must always have things straight
I have Misophonia, is that on the OCD spectrum?
So it’s not just me!
I need some advice for anyone that sees this. For all my life I’ve been struggling with awful dark thoughts, the thoughts always revolve around me being able to cause devastation to others or me so easily. For example if you had a button right in front of you that would kill your family and friends I would have a strong urge to press it. Not Because I want to but because it’s such possible option. It’s always the things I don’t want to do that I have the urge to do. Currently I restrict myself from things that I enjoy because I’m afraid I’ll just ruin it, if you have any advice please share.
I need help. I don’t know if I have ocd or not and if not then what do I have? I have a lot of obsessions since I can think of and for example I always need to wash my hand 2 times with soap or turn the lights on and off several times or always go back 4 times in a video of i didn’t understand just one single word. It drives me crazy and I even tought of death sometimes since it made me so stressed. I’m a girl and only 15 so I don’t know if this is just a phase but I tried to therapy myself several times and it didn’t work. Also I don’t have these obsessions because I want to be very clean or make sure the light is correctly turned on (or at least I think it is not because of that) so I don’t know what could help me with my problem. Please help me I’m so stressed and depressed because of this.
I suffer from ocd. Follow my journey as I get better and offer support to other!
Another thing that happens to me I don't know if this happens to anyone else but I really have to "fix" whatever the thing is and if I don't like say something bad will happen that's what I think and everyone is just like "Just Don'T LiStEn tO iT" and I'm like 😶" IF IT WAS THAT EASY OBVIOUSLY I WOULD STOP"
Hey its me, a person with ocd who has done way to much research on it. I'm here to answer any and all questions about ocd! (Not ocpd) Only ask if you're not going to argue please 😅
Did you use powtoon?
What if I already have had a thought about something (really bad) that has happened to me and actually may never have? How do I get rid of that thought?
It's so hard to live with ocd. I hate my life. 😣
I have also OCD with intrusive thoughts. My life become doughtfull
I'm desperate to get away from OCD. I start to sweat and my heat rate goes up really high when I'm trying to complete a ritual. If i have been dooing that same ritual for 30 minutes to 1 hour, my legs start to hurt and shake. Once i have finished i am left sweaty achy and exhausted. I need to combat this. This is a terrible experience. Has anyone else had to go through extreme OCD?
My OCD rituals in extreme times could be between 3-5 hours i got better and only cost me like 1 hour
Well i think i hat OCD or something similar. Back then I was about 10-13 Years old. I always needed to right over my text on the paper like always up to 7 or 8 times because i always said to my self in my mind "you need to right it down eight times". It was a big big habit and i cried about it because i wanted it to stop. But i dont have it that extreme anymore since i do therapy. Maybe just a little when i wash my hands but not up to 8 times because i am able to say to myself that water is special and is really expensiv. Since then nothing really bad happened to me. And i most likely have much stress in my life but that is kind of normal or sometimes kinda annoying for me.
I feel like I have mild OCD, I never like to text with lowercased letters and I need periods commas ETC.) I need my homework to have perfect handwriting, I need my room to be clean, If I see a book put sideways I need to make it straight. If I have one flyaway in my hair I get irritated. If I don't have an even amount of followers on a social media EX.) 47,9,8,56 I get very angry but If I have an even amount of followers EX.) 45, 50, 35, 90 I feel happy. All my grades need to be A's or else I don't feel good. My home screen needs to look perfect- I need to type stuff up /search stuff up with perfect grammar. It's taking over my life!!! What should I do?
I searched how to get rid of OCD not to learn more about OCD I'm broke how am I supposed to get therepy or medicine my family also doesn't know about my OCD 😞😖
Cant even sleep without turning the lights on and off, moving my phone perfectly, fixing bedsheets, and pulling shirt away from my but when i am not uncomfortable
Why do I could feel like I'm eating a dirty thing when I saw one? Like crumbs that is on the floor.. And then I would just feel like wanting to vomit. If i touched something that has a weird texture, I would just wash my hand until I am REALLY REALLY satisfied. And when I am going out, I am afraid that there would be some robbery, so i checked if the door is locked, and then i just become anxious about it the whole day until I came home. *weird* ....
I have OCD.... but it’s no too overly neat and stuff, it’s like in the middle....
I want to draw so badly but I have this line and shape thing so I’m always erasing and drawing it again and I get nothing done
My sister is facing same condition 😭.I'm just hoping to help her in any possible way😤
1:35 my mom and sister used to call me a hypochondriac while it turns out i just had OCD. It’s unfair, and i don’t get why they thought it was ok, it caused me trauma, and i hated it.
Actually ocd is accompanied by intrusive thoughts which forces our mind to perform these unwanted things or acts to get relief. And this repeatedly happens bcs more u try to push these intrusive thoughts more they will appear in ur mind ultimately becoming our obsession which lead us to compulsions🌀
Didn’t realise I’m not the only one till I looked it up what’s happening to me today I try so hard to get rid off it for years what’s best advice??😓
The worst thing is that I don't really wanna change but it scares me a lot and I'm only 14 and I'm from latin America, if I tell my family about this they'll think I'm crazy and probably send me to a mental hospital
Ive been obsessively grunting every few seconds for over 5 years now. If I dont Im convinced my heart is gonna stop and its getting to the point where I cant stand it anymore I just want the grunting to stop. Im also terrified of having bad teeth so I aggressively brush my teeth almost constantly now Im just getting really sick of it. I feel like my mind is being controlled by a little monster who convinces me what I do is good for me but it sucks so bad. Im basically gaslighting myself
I think I have it.. Every time I go to the bathroom I need to pump exactly 2 pumps of foam soap on every hand and cant even say "Milk" but can type it.... I wish it would stop.
Why I wash my hands too much🤔🤔
It's hard...it's like someone telling you to do something.
Can't tell if I have OCD but every night I have to take a shower or I think something bad will or I would sleep good. but again that could just be a habit. I don't know
Am I hearing music or information ???
I got diagnost few mounts ago and its annoying you cant keep yourself form doing rituals
I have an ocd of checking things things like when i write something i check it 4 to 5 times.....
I also have an ocd of making some things to both directions means whatever i see on left or any or direction, i make my thinking that it is also on right and many useless things.....
Me too man! If i do something on my left a number i times i need to make sure i do it on the right to make sure its equal lol
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANY MORE WITH OCD . OCD IS KILLING ME DAY
I've never truly been diagnosed with OCD because I am too afraid to talk about my symptoms. Ive had bad anxiety for as long as I can remember and I always avoid certain food avoid cracks I always step with my left foot first when I walk and I put everything in rainbow order, but for a while I never realized it might be OCD
My medications acted like it was helping but it didn't, my
therapist made it worse. I have microdosed golden
teachers shrooms for 4months now, and I have never felt
this better before! Look at my CZcams title he's the best
mycologists I have ever encountered!
I have ocd with hand washing it’s really annoying and I want to not have it so bad , I am tired of repetitive thoughts about it .
I have an obession with refreshing my emails over and over, normaly 16 times. Going from the number 13 to 20 and then doing it again to complete it. It gets really annoying and its so hard to stop myself from doing it. The first 8 refreshes is left and the second is right in my head that is.
I will do this maybe 25-30 times a day
I normally do this 20-25 times per day.
I do the same thing whenever I scroll up a page, if it didn’t feel right, I have to scroll down and redo exactly 9 times.
@Enes Haha yeah i know, my ocd is not nearly as bad as it was then but i still do have a few rituals i do from time to time haha.
@Enes What does your ocd consist of?
