1st Step in the Journey of Uncertainty - What OCD Really Is… 

‘The only people who are 100% certain are stupid people.’ I love this guy!

Brilliant!

Great content.

This man saved my life

This disorder is beyond explanation to those not suffering! I have believed any number of things that this disorder wants me to suffer from! And in the end I know it is OCD because it wants me to be/live a life that goes against my beliefs!

I've never seen anyone explain OCD so well, and even in merely 3 minutes. Wow!

I feel kind of guilty using this as reassurance

This has been torturing me for years, the doubt was making me write essays to myself because of my existential uncertainty. This has all held me back in many ways.

thank you for caring and helping us , the simplest explanations are the most brilliant

The uncertainty drives me insane! I say to my family I wish I had a truth box so when I pressed it, it would tell me the truth...

His last sentence is the crux of OCD.

This video really made me feel seen and understood, thank you❤️

This guy is great he helps me educate myself with my OCD

“I thank them because they risked death to see me” 😂😂 this guy is a legend

Very well said. Simple, to the point and true!

Smart guy. Yep, acctually realising all you are talking about just this days ago. Everything you do "just to feel better", every bit of going over it "to make sure", every conversation or googling just in case, everything you DO because of it its a compulsion. Compulsion-->solving--->not accepting Not fighting back--->accepting--->eventually(hopefully) learning to live with those fears without making your live misserable. DISCLAIMER: I dont mean "dont do anything." At all, Im not a therapist. Im just saying that, once you understand well your triggers and your fears and you learn not to belive your thoughts and feelings just because you have them, in the end for me it comes down to accepting those feelings and emotions and no more than that. DOESNT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK OR FEEL IS REAL. Its real now you feel that way and you have those thoughts. With this, at least for me, fear takes its place: next to you, telling you whats important for you, what you are scared of losing, what gives purpose to your life...with or without crippling panic attacks. Good luck guys, you are not alone. Speak with somebody you love for a bit once a day, even online. It helps me a lot :)❤❤❤

As others said, this man saved my life from OCD, now I try to spread his message as much as I can for others

Pleasee😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 tell me that thinking I will not care about the most imp/ fav person (mother, a friend, a brother..) is also a kind of ocd!????......hurting them by bidding bye/saying them i dont care u eat or not if dont eat

I have had many obsessions in the past where uncertainty is at the core, but two of my main obsessions are 1) knowing (not uncertainty) that my possessions and home to have some minor impections that I know are irrelevant in my rational mind, and 2) being "ripped off" having to pay for something I shouldn't have or was erroneously overcharged for (when it actually happens, not the uncertainty that it may happen). I have compulsions connected to both of these obsessions. Neither have anything to do with uncertainty. Yet my mother sees Jonathan Grayson say this and thinks this neat little phrase completely describes OCD to its core. It's a large part of OCD, but having obsessions and compulsions can be about ideas other than uncertainty.

Good info, thank you.

OCD can be controlled by Buspirone ❤
