I'll give you an advice, take life slow and enjoy the little things. You are alive and it's a gift, the fact you can enjoy tea or even something small like coffee is nice. Love yourself and only surround yourself with people who make you genuinely happy. Take care, much respect.
Hey Bella, always great to see your smile! Some stuff I'd like to watch? Vlogs, you singing (love those!!), some sunny days chilling in the park with your dog, your thoughts on random topics, fashion (don't judge lol guys can like fashion!), and once more, singing!! Take care, and keep it fun for yourself 😊
I am a 35 year old man that are very addicted to Instagram and Social Media Addicition. So i am need to get away from it. Any good advice to replace it with other hobbies? Any suggestions and advice would have been so helpful for me:)
Glad to hear you´re doing better now. I felt particularly related when you mentioned how relieving it was was to have a diagnose: it happened the same to me. Everything suddenly made much more sense and the recovery process could start. 🙏
U r such a brave girl! My son is of ur age and he is suffering from the same condition. The challenge is that OCD comes with some other challenge such as depression. May God give more power to u and all those who have this challenge in their lives..
I relate so much to this, I already got half of my therapy (I say half because I was ashamed about my Taboo Ocd and didn't talk about it) and Im looking where to finish it, my prominent ocd was about religion but also extended to agressive and taboo related thoughts (every though required the help of god even if I didn't believe 100% on him because I felt that only heavenly power could 100% stop the problem, so I would cross myself, for everything, when I saw somebody, when I touched something, when I enter or exit a door etc) now I feel that I passed from extreme neverending panic and fear to depression, and I just want time to recover, I already lost in a 99% my fear with religion, and I'm able to realize that I don't need my compulsions but I still suffer with taboo and agressive thoughs, the sad part for me is that know I'm in such a tired and sad state of mind that I no longer stop the agressive thoughs when it comes to myself, I feel so sorry for my thoughts about other people even if they don't know about it because I never do or say stuff like that but still, it feels like shit. I know I might get better but the worry of repeating one year of school is so awful to me, I used to be such a great student, I just hope more people with these gets the chance to at least get therapy, and I hope for others to suffer less,💛
I am struggling a lot with ocd having constant severe headaches on daily basis the extreme amount of stress is weighing on my shoulders life has become difficult to continue😔
When you were filling out your DORMS housing forms did you link with a roommate and did you get to choose which bed you wanted. Are you able to move the beds around or are they stuck where they are?
I have had OCD since I was really young. It got bad around the age of 12 I am now 14 and its really ruined my life. I have gotten to the point where I have loss of appetite and depression because of the anxiety I get from my OCD. Its so annoying when people use OCD as an expression cuz they really have no idea what people with real OCD live like. I just want to encourage others tho. Your not alone! I struggle with feeling like I am the only one with bad intrusive thoughts but its not true probs a lot of people with OCD have the same thoughts. Remember the intrusive thoughts aren't you. Don't pay attention to them, just say out loud, "that's not true." and then move on. I wish you all well!
Thank you so much for this video. I struggle with contamination OCD and others too. And I think this video made me feel better now. I have a therapist and I am on my way to kill this OCD in my head and this is so hard. I literally can't touch people and think that I contaminate them. I am locked home for this and this is really hard period of my life really. So thank you, your difficult situation you told really made me feel good and inspired me a little bit. We will win this game.
Interesting. I thought youtube was social media too, because of everyone commenting, but i guess as nobody here knows each other, it's not? The thing is, people you know, that know your youtube channel, they can look here to find things to hate on or ridicule. Many people have no life. If they did they would be happy and only have nice things to say about others. I was bi-polar for a couple of years and got things off my chest on facebook - public view. Totally the wrong thing to do but bi-polar is a mental disorder that makes people act out of character. However - amazingly, ranting on about being bullied in the past etc. cured me of severe depression which went on for 25 years! So if anyone has to rant on social media - make sure you don't actually say any lies - That way no one can take you to court. As for bullies - If you want people to say nice things about you, treat them nice ❤
Hey I'm struggling with OCD too, something I've heard is that medication helps while you take it but doesnt cure the underlying problem. What I have heard works more "permanently" is Exposure Response prevention (erp). I haven't done it enough yet to see success but I thought I'd share! That's what I'm working on, may try medication as well though to help with day-to-day.
♥ You make people know information and knowledge that are essential for daily life and that people are curious about. I applaud you for your video and support you.
