- Comedian, actress, and author Maria Bamford spoke at the International OCD Foundation's 28th Annual OCD Conference in San Francisco. Check out her hilarious keynote speech!
"Everyone's doing the best they can. Sometimes it's not that good." This fills me with immense relief.
nice reference!!!
She's not just one of my favorite comedians. She's one of my favorite people.
"You look fine, which I guess at Kaiser Permanente is a diagnosis.". 😅
so. finding this video today may have just saved my life.
Still alive?
@@adamfrbs9259 alive and i know myself better than i have in years
God I am so glad she's in the world and I got to find her.
Yesss!
Brilliant, hilarious- and so much heart. A dazzling keynote for this incredible conference. Maria Bamford is a national treasure.
Would that the nation knew of this treasure. 😃
She really is 💜
Did anyone else get emotional after the story about the Hertz rental car lady? “I believe every human life has value”. Hilarious, yes, but also very touching.
She is magnificent, fearless, heroic
My favorite comedian of all time! As someone who has struggled with OCD their whole life, her stories always make me feel not so alone and like someone understands what it's like in my head. They say that most brilliant people probably have some sort of disorder because they don't think like most people. Maria is proof of that. She may have her issues....but she is a total GENIUS in my opinion. ❤❤❤
I have suffered from intrusive thoughts, particularly in my mid 20s through 30s, and hearing about Maria's experience de-stigmatized it for me. I loved her for her comedy long before she came out with her mental health journey and became not only hilarious, but a caring wise woman in her times.
It's extremely therapeutic to me to watch Maria Bamford talk about intrusive thoughts. I'll go the rest of the day without having any after listening to her talk about them.
Hahahaha!!! As a 42 year old, with 4 stints in rehab, 2 in inpatient mental health facilities, and years in and out of 12 step cults, I understand.
Parts of this made me belly laugh: “Maria, it’s OK if you’re gay”.
I love herrrrr
Maria Bamford’s stand-up changed my life in ways I can’t even begin to describe. I’m so glad to see that she finally got to a place where she feels comfortable and loved. she deserves it; we all deserve it.
it's crazy how y'all still don't have free healthcare. I'm glad maria managed to make enough money to still be with us. love her stuff.
Maria is my favourite comedian of all time, she's just wonderful. She's also the most inspirational person I know with regard to dealing with mental health issues. God bless her, even if he is a silly goose.
i love how she reminds me that I can have more issues than just bipolar disorder 😊❤🎉
So many more!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳🥳🥳💃🏻💃🏻🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽😻😻😻
Maria is the best. She was the first person I heard talk about Unwanted Thought Syndrome, and it was eye opening. Thank you, Maria... :)
Nihilistic napping, just tap out 😅😬…She’s so brilliant and spot on and whew the truth hurts …and ofc she’s hilarious. F’ing gold ❤✨
This is so, so important. The intrusive thoughts she mentions are *specifically* brought on because they are the *worst* thing you can imagine, and the *last* thing you’d ever actually want to do. But your brain is disordered for X reason and just goes “But are you sure” over, and over, and over again
I wish you peace of mind.
@@holyworrier Thank you! Luckily (a relative term, of course), they happened only episodically in my life. I mean.. They could sometimes last years lol, but it's the internet resources and people like Maria who made me realise what I said in my comment above.
For me it's all anxiety-based and I've made peace with a good chunk already, and I hope that with my current therapy we can unpeal the rest of that onion. Have a nice day!
Hysterical laugh out loud funny shit right here! Maria, I donated $20 to the scholarship fund so someone can attend next year to this organization! You are the best! Keep coming back!
Thank you so much for your donation!
I'd call her speech an eleven outta ten. She handled it with aplomb.
I thought I was far enough into my recovery to not have any more “oh thank god that’s not just me” moments, but “maybe you’re just tricking everyone into thinking you’re a lesbian and actually you’re straight” really got me. 😂 It’s wild how as soon as you realize you’re actually gay and your OCD was onto something with that one, all the “oh no, what if I’m gay” thoughts just instantly, seamlessly transform into “oh no, what if I’m straight”.
Maria is a wonderfully funny and bright person. She is worthy of living any life she wants to. We all have some sort of issues. You go girl!
The fact that you need a disclaimer about "comedy" is both sad+hilarious. Great Job!
That was PHENOMENAL!!! Rare, raw, and authentic.
I don't have OCD but I love Maria Bamford and can relate to a lot of what she said.
Authenticity at its peak.. i adore this woman. Maria has been a reliable pillar of honest discourse, you KNOW you’re getting a piece of her soul when she speaks - it feels like a deep deep sharing of personal truth. Even down to the tone and cadence of her voice, it’s so expressive. So her. I love it
Love 'Lady Dynamite' Maria!
America’s sweetheart!
Rookie mistake. Never tell the weekend psychiatrist anything except for unwanted side effects of medications 😂
Maria is def the best comedian
She was great!! So 😂!
God she’s brilliant.
Not only is she one of the most inventive, funniest performers ever, she's one of the rarest of breeds: a kind human being. More power to you lassie!!
Omg she makes me laugh so hard.
I just saw her in Portland recently and I think she mentioned that she was going to do this seminar, I’m glad I came across this recording of it!
I've watched this video 100 times.
Thank you Maria for being you and sharing a little of that with me.
Maria has moved from gifted comedian to a gifted voice for good. She is becoming a national treasure.
I loved her in Portlandia and Lady Dynamite! As a Christian with OCD I didn't agree with everything she shared but can totally agree that there has been a LOT of hurt done by religious groups over the years that have no formal training in therapy. Especially traumatic for those with scrupulosity/religiosity OCD.
Seeing the humor in stuff that is horrid when you're in the thick of it is really healing. And Maria Bamford is the absolute best person for it, she's hilarious and smart and incisive. I love you Maria!
She is awesome!!❤
Props to whoever chose that background lighting/color. It's super calming and really compliments Maria!
My favorite!!
Genius in the house.
The BAMF
I started my Sunday morning by watching this, and it's honestly given me a great boost to tackle the day.
As long as I clench my fists in random intervals while watching this I wont feel compelled watch it again and again...
I love you Maria! Keep on keeping it real!!!! 🙏
One of my favorite things of her I’ve seen
Amen.
from a licensed mental health professional, Maria-thank you! I really don't know how you could /would will/are going to digest my thanks...WTF, your crazy is just okay. A lot of folks have you beat. keep sharing. and stay upright.
Not only an excellent comedian but someone who’s vulnerability and honesty commands respect.
I thought this was a legit academic event. Laugh. True. Solid fan forever, truly.
Maria Bamford is brilliant and my new favorite comedian.
❤ She's given me hope. There's so much pain, and so much work to do.
We were made to know God, serve, God, and love God, according to the Catechism of The Catholic Church. And also to love our neighbor as ourself.
I'm sad her mom had her receive communion without understanding the faith.
You know , I can relate😮
Bravo Maria, thank you!
The bit about questioning your sexuality cracked me up. As a bi woman married to a man, the struggle is real.
A serious comedy crush for decades
Maria you are the best❤😂🎉
She is tremendous. ❤️❤️❤️
The best!
Fantastic speech
This was the best, most inspiring speech I've ever heard about ocd.
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful
She's so freaking funny!! Maria Bamford thank you for sharing your experience!!
She is so fucking funny. What a brilliant woman.
Maria Bamford has been an Absolute Favorite Genius Fairy Goddess Inspiration for a very long time! I Love You So Much!!!💗💗💗💗💗
Maria Bamford should do the keynote speech for ALL conferences! If you love this speech, you should check out her book: "Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere." Her memoir really is both funny and insightful for anyone wanting to get mental health help via therapy and support groups.
Oh. My. God!!! I absolutely love this entire speech 💜🤣⭐️
Damn what a huge set
Maria is the only one who can make me laugh and cry simultaneously.
Fucking love Maria bamford 😂
Same👏👏👏😎
What I do know is that my body feels like it's filled with bees; but my thumb is ok.
Love you, Maria! And Thank YOU!
i love her so much! the anti-abortion clinic joke is hilarious!!!
Keynote GOAT!
Maria really is a gift. ❤
We agree!
Love this.
one if not the only human who just so happens to be a comedian with ocd and bipolarism that can comically articulate the deep partitioning of her mind.
That was so good
I absolutely love her! What a comedic genius!
my actual hero is maria
God I love her.
This is brilliant. Speech writing on the no fear but fear itself,I have a dream level. Im not kidding. Absolute bravery facing a room of potentially uninterested people. Sublime
We are unworthy of this remarkable woman.
Maybe you have to be this different to be this wonderful.
Absolutely my favorite comic!
Oh gosh I love her so much
One of the best!
Incredible. Actually useful ideas. Love this so much. Thankyou Maria
Maria is an out-and-out genius.
My favorite comedian!!!!!!
Maria Bamford is GLORIOUS.
I am truly happy for her since everything came together in her life.
incredible
I just adore her. The funniest woman in the world.
Lady Dynamite does again!
Luv ya Maria...
I'm so gratified to see my assessment of 12 step programs and the pervasiveness of cults and cult attitude and behavior be expressed on such a platform by such a well known and hilarious comic. She nails 12 step cults. The Waffle House night manager therapist was the coup de grace.
What in the 🌎 World! That therapist was f-ed up. Oh sweet. Maria, clearly I love your parents! They tried and then they supported you as an adult....I LOVE your comedy shows JUST for your parents! You are SO BEAUTIFUL AND A BLESSING FOR US!!! I LOVE YOU! ❤❤❤
