I have OCD and I hate people around me when they say they have OCD just because something is annoying them, they don't understand you can really suffer from it.
Prod.By.Waves i just realized that i have ocd life fr it started 1 year ago or something and realized that something was wrong i didn’t know why i tired to make it stop but i can’t that i found a video about ocd and i figure it out that that’s what i have and i can’t live with it anymore i really just want this to stop but i don’t know how
Ikr I suffered from OCD of germs and organising 3 years ago and it fucked me up so bad till I went to a therapy and I got into alot of fights with people who laughed at the situation
Ikr, my mutual friend said he had ocd when the cake was improperly cut, i asked him if he even knew what it is and he yelled at me that he knows. Same goes for my friend but she just gets annoyed by misplaced or unaligned stuff 🙄
HappyCamz very true. I haven’t told anyone but a few close friends, but sometimes my strange habits leak into my life at school and I wonder if people notice
I’m writing this here because I have no where else to say this. I’m a 14 year old and I have these rituals, but I don’t want to self diagnose. Whenever I walk down my hallway, I have to step on every other tile. If I want to open an app I have to do it 3 different times before actually using the app. Every night I push my bed against the wall 8 times and if I don’t I feel like my family is in danger. I’m afraid to ask to be properly diagnosed because I don’t want to be a financial burden. I don’t know why I’m typing this, I just needed to get it out.
I have OCD and a speech disorder, ( My doctor said i'm over worried, but all of my symptons are exactly the same as OCD and speech disorder symptons ) I'm like you but it's worse, i can't arrange words and make it into a sentence, it's just like there's 1000 words in my mind and i can't use all of them at once, so everytime i'm speaking, i stutter alot to choose which word should i use, I started to be bored of living, it's like i'm a living corpse, i keep saying something wrong all the time, when i'm speaking it feels like i already said that word even though in reality i haven't and it's just my imagination, annoying disease, i have to re read words over and over again for 30 times, i have to say words over and over again for 30 times, even when i'm typing, it feels like everything is wrong and i had to delete some wrong words, because there are too many word that pops up in my mind and i keep saying the first words that pops in my mind, which is sad. Also i'm 14 and an Indonesian native speaker, even i don't use english as a native language, my english wasn't this bad.
When I was younger my mind would force me to do things, like touching something saying something, it was annoying because I felt like I was being threatened.
omg is that OCD because my littlesister says that she always have and needs to "bend" her thumbs and i keep asking her why and she always says that she doesnt know, she just has to.
Omg that's the same with me it is as uf somebody it telling you to do thease things but you can not actually hear them the problem is I am 13 and I wanna go to docter to ask about it but I have tried to ask before for help and tried to explain it but no body took me seriosly until my mum finally listened to me but I am scared to go to the docter because I'm paranoid that they will say some crap like It's cause of school Idk if u have been there please help me out man
To everyone who is struggling with OCD, just keep fighting it and hold on to your life. I know you can keep your life together. I love and believe in you.
From what I’ve experienced and noticed, OCD differs A LOT between person to person. But it’s really nice to see people connecting over their struggles in the comments. I went a long time without a diagnosis for my OCD and other disorders and I genuinely thought I was crazy. But a diagnoses makes connecting with others and understanding how your own brain works a fair amount easier. Anxiety disorders are scary, if anyone reading this has one, I know the struggle. Stay strong.
When I was a child, I used to avoid stepping on the cracks on the sidewalks. And I also count the steps before crossing a particular crack. The count has to end in even numbers, and my step should always end on my right foot before crossing the crack. If not, I would get anxious and scared. Is that OCD?
Yeah that's how mine started when I was younger. I used to have to step right inside the squares and swing my arms through the lines. Go get help. It progresses and changes over time and it can ruin your life.
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, sometimes I still have the urge, but I can control it now. When I was a kid it was worse. But now it only occurs when I'm not busy with anything.
My OCD affects how I play games. If I get an unwanted thought while playing a game, it affects how I make progress. For example, an unwanted thought might make me remember something important to the game, but since It was an unwanted thought, I don't do that "important thing" and pretend like I didn't remember it. A better example next. I like being creative, building and etc. An unwanted thought might trigger something creative for me to build. Guess what? It was an unwanted thought that I didn't like, so once again, I pretend like I didn't remember it.
OCD just makes me feel insane. Everything is so much harder and confusing. I count things. Over and over. Just to confirm that I was right about what I counted lol. Everything has to be level and even. If I touch something with one hand and not the other, I feel unbalanced. As I’m walking on the sidewalk I count my steps and make sure that I never step on the cracks. Only liking numbers to be by multiples of 5; the tv, my car radio, my phone, even the clock bothers me when it doesn’t end with a 0 or 5. I don’t think people realize how exhausting it is. Or how when I forget to set the radio on the right number before I leave the car I feel like something bad will happen to me or someone I love. It’s so ridiculous. I can even see and understand it’s ridiculous. But to my brain it’s not. And it’s so hard to control the impulses. I feel for anyone that goes through this. Whether you have the same experience or something different. OCD is complex and different with everyone and it’s rough.
omg everything has to multiples of five for me too. and if I step on a crack I have to walk backwards and then redo it... not stepping on the crack. I also count my steps and I just can't stop
No way. Your compulsions are just like mine, like all of them. They're exhausting. But I have another compulsion which is the most exhausting one, jumping 18×9 times while landing on both of my kegs at the same time because I have to do things in either 18 times or 9 times depending on the number of pairs of that certain object(my compulsions mostly include moving certain objects, or myself) and 5×5 if that thing is my phone.
I don't know if you would call this ocd ? Because I do the same thing but with car's in a row ? They all have to be of lined in a row. And I will count over and over again or even by 3×whatever the number may be ,, to confirm that I've counted them correctly. if that makes any sense,. does this even means anything ??
All these symptoms go for me. BOTH THE TOUCHING AD MULTIPLES ONE. Like if I'm watching a video and I need to pause it I would wait and pause when the digits are either 0 or 5. All the ocd symptoms in the comment r experienced by me. I need to GO TO DOCTOR
@@izlshf5879 Yes it's good and everybody can underestand it but everybody always say Why your handwriting is weird and why are you so slow and check your writing again and again? Actually I always lose my exams time cause my OCD and I write so slow and weird.
My OCD gets so bad and i get trapped in my own mind everyday. Sometimes i have to force myself put of my own head, and i use "aggression" to get out of that negative mindset. I always just push it to the back of my mind and tell myself im "Okay".
Repetitive thoughts on the conscious (Pre-Frontal Cortex) usually induce hyperactivity in the caudate nucleus and overtime (months or years) causes dysfunction and in this case lead to OCD by create a brain circuit (neural pathway) to the thoughts that the conscious (Pre-Frontal Cortex) thinks it's important. This is the real cause of OCD. Note: Sometimes (in some cases) due to high stress or TBI the caudate nucleus stops working due to genetic factors and/or acquired behavioral which lead to OCD.
This disorder absolutely destroyed my whole teenege life in many different ways even tho I’m heathy now I have so much trauma from all the years it have destroyed for me.
this video brought me so much joy. i was smiling all through it because something i've felt with for such a long time, is being described in a way ive always wanted to but could never let it leave my mouth. one of my obsessions is that nothing i say makes sense, and so as a result of that to help reduce my anxiety from that i repeat myself over and over, trying to make the right words come out until i feel satisfied. i'll be sure to link this vid when someone asks me about my ocd.
Sometimes I have to click and repeat and look at things four times or if I do it one extra time by accident I have to do it 4x4 times this happens really often I try not to do it and I don't think something bad is going to happen I also have ADHD
@@DylOR851 same with me. especially when I'm reading. i have to check some sentence 5 times again and again. if i don't do that i think something bad is gonna happen. and it's so hard to have this disorder ☹
One illness grows and then you can easily have 2 then 3 illnesses of the mind.....the result of incorrect ...wrong thinking patterns...you can learn a lot from it and reverse back into healthier behaviours from correcting the mistake programming....it’s a process to get well like it was to get sick
Me: Touches something in a bottle that’s poisonous My brain: OMG YOU TOUCHED IT EVEN IF ITS IN A BOTTLE YOU’RE GONNA DIEEEE Me: *runs in the bathroom to wash my hands* This happens everyday. I feel as if I get germs on my hands, I seem to HAVE to wash them. Now, my hands are extremely dry and it hurts whenever I wash it with soap. (And yes, this isn’t my ONLY ocd problem.)
I always thought why i overthink alot every second..tons of thoughts come and go in mind i can't focus on anything .. i never knew what was wrong with me it seemed nrml these days but everything going on around me affected me mentally i always overthinked everything i hear and see it's totally mentally exhausting.
When I was a kid I would always step on a crack in the ground, I believed that doing so would bring me good luck, I would do it everyday I come from home, the day I missed doing it I would link my family problems to the ritual. I also followed a ritual of rearranging my family's slipper, I would always do that because I believed that doing so would stop my parents from quarelling.
I never knew I had it until now. I had It started since I was 5, and now I’m going into junior high. I just didn’t know... and I know my mom wouldn’t believe me if I told her.
At this point I don’t even know how to tell my mom I might have this. The thoughts are so disturbing I feel like if I told her I have them she would think I’m a horrible person
Advice for people who have ocd. I had severe OCD and I was able to fight it and now I have healed from it. One of the best thing to do is to get help before it’s to late and you gain severe or can’t control your ocd. Try to get help from professionals or those who you trust and understand ocd or learn to understand ocd they could help you or find help for you. Ocd comes in many different ways so I wrote down the principles that helped me overcome my ocd. What I’ve learned from my experience which could help you is to not give in to the intrusive thoughts and feelings of regret, discomfort, fear, disgust, and anxiety. Do not justify those intrusive thoughts and feelings that they are true or reality because it will make you want feel brave, and will make you want you to do something about it to fight those intrusive thoughts and feelings but that will just lead into rituals, compulsions, obsessions and into a cycle of an never ending loop, it will make things worse than they are. As long as you give those thoughts and feelings attention or satisfaction they will never go away. Just understand justifying those thoughts and feelings will cause you more pain and suffering. Accept and understand that they are just feelings and thoughts they are illusions. In reality these thoughts and feelings do not define who you are and do not effect the world, reality, you, your surroundings, or anyone. Just live with those thoughts and feelings don’t try to fight it or do anything about it and in seconds or minutes even hours days or weeks it will be as if nothing ever happened. Make a promise that you will not give into the intrusive thoughts and feelings. Promise yourself you are ok and nothing bad will happen. Promise yourself this is for your self and well being. Stay strong It will be difficult but Don’t give up there will be some bumps along the way but as long as you remember to keep your promise you haven’t broken it. Be patient it will take time for everyone it will be different but in a month, days or weeks you will return into a happy normal life. Even when I have recovered I sometimes have temporary ocd but when I remember my promise I am able to recover using the technique. I hope it helps you as it helped me. If you have any questions I am willing to to try my best to answer them if I can.
OCD feels like your brain is holding you hostage. Quite literally. You want so badly to ignore the obsessions and compulsions… but at the same time your brain is somehow convincing you that the fate of another life is at your hands if you don’t comply. It’s really exhausting.
Im pretty sure I have ocd,I've always had a lot of problems obsessing over things. I also over think things,And I hate when things are out of order,for instance,If something has a knot in it,I would spend hours untieing it. Also,I tend to be afraid of things,even though I know they aren't real,my mind still tries to scare me. I used to..well,I still do,Make up words or things like that,and tell myself,"unless I say this word, nothing can hurt me" The worst part though,Is I tend to get "Images" in my head,Gore, People being hurt or hurting me,etc. I didn't tell my mother about this until I was twelve, because I was Terrifyed People would think I was crazy,but my mother immediately reconized it,as she has ocd herself. I've been going to therapy for a few months now,for my Social Anxiety as well,But it hasn't been helping much
Queen Of Memes no way I did the exact same thing. I already thought if I said the word "red" in my head then I would be protected from everything. If I touched something dirty, I simply would say red in my head and I would assume all the germs are eliminated.
I have a weird thing, I don't think it's OCD but with food I can't eat it if people touch it or if it's been on a table or if someone asks for a taste I wipe off the spoon violently I also always say I'm sick if people ask for some of my water I have a big thing about fruit, I cannot eat it if it's been exposed or cut up by someone who isn't me I can't drink out of someone else's glass, once my dad tried to make me eat off a plate that had already been used and I cried and completely refused I also suspect I have mild anxiety
no way i did this alwell , i repeatedly counted my steps and if i didn’t start my steps with my right foot and end with my left , i would have to walk all the way back and repeat until it was perfect, i also washed my hands constantly and most of the times it would start bleeding
I’m now watching this kinda of videos, and I have been learning since, I feel that since quarantine started my obsessive thoughts are more severe, I have always struggled with this but never been diagnosed and I feel as im older it’s “worse”. I came to conclusion that I have OCD because it can be any thought, any situation that becomes an obsession, even sometimes I struggle obsessively with my own daily thoughts or ideias and my brain repeats them over and over again, it’s a horrible feeling overall, stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and leads sometimes to panic attacks!! I’m 27 years old and I will do what I can to overcome this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😌🍀.
Yea I would obsessively think abt changers my mind set n staying in the moment but the problem is u would think it all day n if sum1 tried to talk to me I’d get mad cuz I’d still be trying to think abt it’s messed but now I Ac focus on the moment n my ocd ain’t crippling no more😭
My ex was the one who realized that I have OCD also BPD... And it takes like 5 years for me to get through it.. So for everyone who have this pro, you can get through it..
everyone generally know their thoughts but people with ocd believe their thoughts know them. i've been dealing with this since last year but it got worse a few days back. it sucks :( hope y'all are doing better!
i’ve been having constant checking acts ever since i was 10. i would go to bed, but then run to the front door and check if the door is properly locked. i would go back to my room but go to the door again to check it, if i don’t, i think about someone breaking in or hurting me or my family. i constantly check my electrical appliances, to see if they’re turned off, if i don’t i think about a fire starting in my house and people getting hurt. i sometimes switch the light off and on again until it feels okay and i’m calm. i have to touch things and certain textures to help calm me down. i’ve always thought everyone does this, do i have the possibility of having ocd?
i think you could very well have it, but i don’t want to just go out and diagnose you bc i’m not a professional. but i would defo recommend going to see a doctor
If there was one way to describe OCD, it's this. It's when your brain does not agree with the facts. I, and others with OCD could have proof shown, facts laid out, but we feel anxiety regardless and we are repetitive. We have to double check something until we know for certain it will turn on or what not. We feel uncomfortable if we don't repeat something one last time. Thankfully my OCD is not severe, but that doesn't mean that it does not affect me.
me: *closes the door* also me: *opens it back, then closes it again* my mind: let go of the door knob also my mind: no. something bad's gonna happen. me: *lets go and lays in bed. then get back up holding the knob doing that close open thing again* -so i had to close and open it until it feels right.
people usually mistake ocd for the need to be organized but it’s really not it’s like “ what if I accidentally poison my family “ and more really don’t say you have ocd if you like to be organized
I haven't been diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have OCD. At the beginning (5 years ago) it was really difficult to live with. I was only 13 and I thought I was mentally ill. I didn't want to tell my parents about it, fearing they would find me crazy. I thus suffered in silence and it got worse and worse. I had many compulsions and I made ritual patterns to soothe myself. It was really exhausting. In fact, I couldn't be happy anymore. But, 2 years ago or so, I figured that I could just accept and ignore those intrusive thoughts. I saw that as a challenge and I gradually got rid of some of them. These last two years, I've finally opened up and tried to tell what I had to some people but, except for my older sister, no-one really understood my pain. Now that I'm of age and able to make decisions for myself, I think about talking to a psychiatrist. I reckon it might help me. I ain't a professional and I don't know a lot about the subject but I'd be glad to help you. Feel free to share you own experience with me. Good luck to everyone who's suffering of that annoying disorder...
For some reason it really pleases me to have a community who talks about the same thing they all have and never knew anyone else had to do the same thing like I get just so invested if the other person has to repeat things(for me it’s 5 times) and I have a rough dad and he’s really strict/ kind of favorites my sister and I had to go through a divorce and I have a HUGE amount of mental stress when I sense my mom is getting stressed because I love her so much and don’t want her to leave me
Most of my OCD is based on button pressing and insignificant issues. For example, I accidentally deleted my Google search history and I have this need to restore as much of the search history as I can. It's irritating, I know.
Idk know how to tell my parents without them making fun of me one time I was in a bus and my sister was like “ look there is a high chair “ and I told myself I had to touch that chair or something bad might happen, when we were leaving there was a lot of people behind pushing to get off the bus so I couldn’t touch the chair I cried all night thinking something bad might happen to my parents
As someone that’s had ocd for a very long time now, I hate it when people think ocd is some “personality trait” it sucks and it makes me feel really bad cause I’ve had such a hard time with it.
The current compulsion I have now is to count the number of dots in a sentence or any other text like for example ''hi my name is xyz.... Nice to meet you... Want to go out and eat....???'' I keep counting the dots over and over again and sometimes it gets extreme and I literally bang on the dots with my finger . This is just one example of many other , it is mentally exhausting and I hope anyone reading overcomes this.
2-3% is a pretty accurate estimate. Chances are, the people you're running into at work don't have OCD; they're likely detail-oriented in a high-stress environment. Anyone can be detail-oriented (esp important in fields like computer science), but most know when to stop and submit a project. Those who are diagnosed with OCD usually can't stop and bring themselves to submit their materials. They feel they missed a detail and need to repeat edits x amount of times until they are content with it.
I am always worried that people can read my thoughts, like I think I'm bisexual and I haven't told anyone yet but I'm constantly thinking about it, but when people come near me I immediately stop. I hate it!
When I come back from anywhere, especially the places that I hate, I feel like I want to cleanse myself from this place, and I stay an hour in the bathroom and more. I just wash myself with soap, my face, my ears, my feet, my arms, I make sure to clean it.And after I wash myself, I wash the things I took with me in the place I went to, such as my phone, my glasses, and my hair tie, and I clean them for more than ten times. This is crazy, but I can do nothing. This case was with me four or five years ago, and suddenly I came back Two years ago, I kept locking myself at home for fear of being tortured while I was washing
sometimes my compulsions will consume hours of my day and in the end i couldn't get any of my tasks done. and it gets to the point when it physically hurts me, besides the fact that i want to stop so bad but i just can't, no matter how hard i try
Take medicines of ocd and you will get rid of any type of ocd. I am 13 years old and having very severe ocd but since I am taking medicines it's completely gone. Actually ocd is just a chemical disbalance in our brain and can be set by medicines. Visit a psychiatrist immediately. Hope it helps.
Never visited a therapist or anything. Too affriad. But I have mentally challenging thoughts that if I don’t think of something and complete it the way my brain wants it. It will be unstable for the rest of the day and certain ”rituals” have to be done because usually my family or a person will drown and specifically drown cuz I always was afraid of drowning as a kid. It makes me feel like a kid and I compare myself SO much. I want to be like other young adults in their 20s while im here thinkin these and acting as I call it, a child.
My little brother picked his nose and rubbed his finger all over my DS games, I got VERY upset and I immediately cleaned them. Since then I cant stop thinking about it and its driving me insane. I bought these games less than a few days ago and was so happy about them, but now I'm thinking about selling them. I don't know if I should or not, I'm very unhappy.
I’ve been going to a therapist who says that I’ve developed OCD like tendencies as a result of anxiety. I’ve literally BROKEN the shower because I’ve spent every night checking the faucets and lights before I go to sleep. My dad had to fix it and I feel terrible about the amount of water wasted. :(
My mother has OCD because as soon As she sees something out of place or messy, she gets all mad and she starts to clean it up or put it back in place, And my mother checks everything like 5 times.
If you want to be easier let go of your ocd, you have to accept what you couldnt, and most important... to forgive yourself. For me, ocd is also because you have smthing that you dont want to realize, somthing traumatic that you dont want it to get in your mind, so everytime it started to go up you tried to defense it with ocd. Thats why it feel like rules, its just a rues that what you should do to makes you comfortable to yourself that not realizing something.. My ocd increasing so much after I had depression, Im hating myself and my truth, and now Im become like this..
I can confirm that ocd is a hard life style, mine manifested when I was ab 6-7 yrs old and I was scared of lying or hurting others, fast forward 2022 I’m 15 and I suffer from not damaging my belonging such as: my Nintendo switch, if I set it down I’ll feel like damaged it such a bending it and it can often be very debilitating to buy anything of value, along with that I often suffer with taboo thinking ocd which leads me to think I harm people or perform ill will towards them, this causes me great stress throughout the day and often makes me feel depressed and isolated and even morally filthy, that’s my experience anyway
Holy cow..I thougt this is not a thing because every night I would go check our stove, doors, even house gate if they are locked, close, etc multiple times. I would even remember on my thoughts speaking "oh ok its closed now, but wait, is it really closed? ok ill open and close it again" then a few mins later I would think "what if I was just hallucinating when I closed it?I will check it again if its closed" then I would open and close it again its so weird now that I think of it.. I thought its just normal behavior for me to feel safe or secure. But I never thought its a disorder. so cool!
My question is: what if you have ADHD? Would that trigger OCD? What if you are so forgetful and lose things that you must check twice or more to make sure you have lost anything or left something on or back in the house? I always lose personal items and have to check to make sure I have them. I continually stuff stuff in my pockets and bags and folders to know that it is all there. And I still would forget or lose them.
I’ve searched everywhere for anyone who has ever experienced something like this. I have a “type of ocd” (don’t want to self diagnose) where it’s like my body is split in the middle and everything I do on the right side I have to do on the left side and vice versa. So when I flip a page while reading a book, I might slightly move my elbow over to balance it out. Which makes stuff like typing extremely hard, without my brain trying to murder me. And they can’t be just random movements either; when I move it into a certain position and it finally feel right, that’s when it ends. And then it’ll start back up again 2 seconds later. But it doesn’t stop there. If I imagine doing something in my head, like dancing, but I’m doing more movements on the right than the left, I have to physically fix it by doing some sort of movement on my left side in real life until it feels right.
Honestly I’m not sure what I have. Ever since around the ages of seven I’ve been doing little habits that I have to do or it doesn’t feel right\weird. If I click one finger on one hand I have to do the same finger on the other. I used to do things in six number intervals but I’ve managed to slowly break that habit. Also little things like a door not being fully closed made me shiver.
when he said mental rituals i got very excited. i genuinely did not know anybody else experienced that, since nobody i know has ever talked about it. hearing these things tho makes me feel a lot better about my ocd because it makes me feel like im crazy. lol so it’s nice to see im big alone
I have to spit when some bad thoughts comes to my mind or that bad thought is going to be real and when i close a water bottle or plug in a charger or something i have to suck out the air or my energy will be sucked out of me...i know mine are crazy and it's hard to write them down but when i saw the comments i also felt to share
All of this is really accurate to me except it’s not extremely time consuming to the point where I’d be late for something (maybe bc I obsess over not being late)
Well, every time i feel like my hands are dry, i need to soak them, and i feel better. But the problem, is that it happens literally every day, every minute. My hands are well hydrated, i always use nivea cream so that they're not dry, but i have the same feeling and each time it's getting worse. I also can't touch paper, only a "certain" type of sheets of paper. still, i do not want to do a self diagnosis. I can't tell if it's OCD.
So say I have a bracelet that I have to wear whenever I leave the house or I don’t feel safe. What about the feeling that everything about me needs to be even and balanced, down to chewing food and even just touching things? Do I have OCD?
@@melis4063 Let's say this (I actually do this). I accidentally graze my teeth. Because of this, I gotta do it like 4-5 times. It hurts, but I gotta keep doing this. I do it like this. (Place row of teeth on top of the other, and bite on it hard without messing up, if you do, you gotta restart.) It hurts so badly. Do I have OCD?
I just recently found out about this disorder. I thought i was the only one who was doing such weird things. I'm pretty sure i'm struggling with repeating and intrusive thoughts. I remember very clearly how it all started, it was when i was very little, like when i was 5-6?? Im 14 now. i remember kicking the wall with my right leg and (i know this sounds very dumb) but i thought to myself "my poor left leg and arm...i barely use them it's always the right leg and right arm getting the best treatment!" And from that point on, I decided these rules that my left side will always go first and after, it will be right sides turn. It was like they had to be equal and i think thats why i always was and still am obsessed with touching things 2,4,6,8 ect. like, even number amount of times and the same goes when i walk. I have to get out of bed with my left leg first, then right, left, right, left, right. Start with left and end with right. I read about other peoples experiences with repeating things and most of them say that if they do it wrong, they repeat the entire process but i just "fix" it if i do a mistake. For example, i accidentally started walking with my right leg, so to fix this mistake i will take two steps forward with my left leg and then one step with my right and continue walking left, right, left, right. This also happens when im walking through the road and i need to look to both sides to see if theres cars but usually i mess up and look right first, so i have to look left 2 times, then right. Now, intrusive thoughts. The earliest ones i can remember from when i was very young was when i would go into the store with my mother and i would often think what would happen if i pushed down the shelves and everything would fall down and break? I never did it, but i had this thought very often. I would also think about my mom trying to kill me in my sleep when i was little. My intrusive thoughts are now way worse and i hate them i dont want to think about them because theyre absolutely disgusting and like the video said i often try to imagine good thoughts to push away the bad ones but of course it doesnt work for me... I wont say what type of intrusive thoughts i get very often but i will name one as an example: i could be walking to take out the trash and theres a man walking by, i instantly start to think about how ill get kidnapped and the things that the person will do to me, i wont even say what because its absolutely disgusting and i despise these thoughts i wish i could just delete them. Also as another example, i could be looking at a very cute picture of a cat, but then my intrusive thoughts start thinking about the cat dead, in blood and its organs spilling out of the body i hate this so freaking much 🙁I also just wanted to say that i'm not obsessed with cleaning and actually it's the very opposite because i like it when my room has a lot of stuff in it and is messy this type of room gives me comfort and makes me feel safe so this might not be ocd for me but something else im not sure maybe im just weird...i cant get diagnosed by a doctor because my family knows i have misophonia, but they wont get me diagnosed because theyre scared that if i do, i might not get a job when i grow up, so even if i tell my family about my concerns of having ocd im scared that even by doctors it will be just brushed off as puberty, my phone and even if my family would understand i doubt they'd take me to get it diagnosed. Sorry for my poor english and grammar if anyone even read this dump. English is my second language.
i’m diagnosed with ocd and that sounds similar to my experiences, you may want to find someone to talk to! i know you said that you probably can’t get diagnosed but maybe you can try reaching out to a support group or a therapist online?
@@mitzi4302 Thank you so much for your kind words!! This is the first time i said anything anywhere about this struggle of mine, so i'm very happy a kind person like you comforted me :) I'll try to see a chance when maybe i'll be able to talk with my family about it and i'm pretty shy about telling it to another person face to face, but i'll see maybe i'll get braver sometime and even seek out some help online. I already said it but again thank you so so much!! 💓
I don’t know what this is but sometimes I’ll be doing something and my brain will be like “If you don’t pick up that hair brush your family’s going to die” so then I have to pick it up. Like what is that?
I was diagnosed with OCD, ADD, APD, and Dyslexia. Sometimes one disorder cancels out another. I don't actually see them as disorders though, and I live a very normal life where I sometime forget I even have them. I was never on any treatment and was raised to embrace it. Sometimes I'll be in a situation and I'll be like "OH yeah, I'm OCD. Well that explains it." Then I move on😂 what I'm saying is, you don't have to suffer. Sure there will be ups and downs but remember, happiness is a choice aswell.
Watch who you are in love with. Sometimes people aren't right in the head. They can't live they're lives to be alone for one minute. It's hard for anyone get rid of. They don't have anyone else in their lives.
This is going to be a little controversial but it needs to be said. I really hate it when people leave their unused time on the microwave. As if they’re doing us all a favor by leaving us with their extra time. It’s not like we can heat up our lunches with those 12 seconds you left behind. To all the people who do this, I know you think you’re doing your part by paying it forward but unfortunately all you’ve managed to do is leave the rest of us with the extra chore of clearing out Your Time. JUST PRESS CANCEL AND CLEAR OUT YOUR OWN DAMN TIME LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!! There I said it.
I belive for some reason I'll die if everything is not perfect for example I'm scared that a killer will kill me so I dont leave any cracks and i check everywhere so no-one is hiding and if I hear noises aNyWhErE then I'll carry a knife to protect myself!! Also I feel like ppl can read my mind!! I'm so stressed out!!
My biggest struggle with OCD is me fearing that someone can hear my thoughts, or is somehow watching my thoughts so I can never feel comfortable to have my own thoughts. That is an OCD struggle according to my doctor
same I'm afraid that a mind reader or a psychic comes out of nowhere and tells everybody my weird thoughts and embarass me.This is one of the reasons I don't go out of the house.

@@심설하-r6k you just have to not care about what's going on in your head make peace with your thoughts let them be there don't try to fight them and argue with them and know that it just a fear that grown because you gave it too much attention and the best you can do is read and get educated about psychosis like schizophrenia so u can convince yourself that it not what's happening to you since i wrote the comment 5 days ago i can say that i'am 95% over my fear
Sometimes you feel like you’re Alone with ocd but seeing all these comments kinda relieves me a little bit knowing that there are other people out there that understand you
Azzaya Nergui sammeeee this happens to me all the time and it’s annoying af but i feel compelled to do that random thing or else my family dies or something bad
As someone with OCD, it’s important to mention: When we do the “rituals” that seem obscure, weird and not logical, WE KNOW THAT IT’S WEIRD AND NOT LOGICAL. But we still need to do it. That’s what’s so upsetting, knowing it but having trouble avoiding doing it
I’m at a point where I’m not diagnosed, so I don’t claim to have OCD. But I have these obsessions and compulsions that inhibits my ability to think clearly. I’m often attacked by thoughts that trouble me greatly. It’s like torture, I have these moments where I’m surrounded in irrationality but there’s that looming sense of unsureness. I don’t know at this point.
Samee but like it's minor like only sometimes it's not that bad but I have those characteristics and I still remember when I was younger I so I have to pray before I eat I prayed so many times couse to double check if I actually prayed till my friend realised but God bless me now it's starting to fade for some reason @-@
This video forgot to mention that most of the times the sufferer undertands that the obsessions and compulsions are irrational. I have severe OCD myself, mostly hygiene related. When I was at my worst i could stay in the shower for over 5 hours. It's not that I actually believe that i'm still dirty and I know that I can't get any more "clean", but as fast as I leave the shower I get a weird compulsion to enter the shower again, Sometimes without any motive at all, It just dosens't "feel right". It's really weird to explain. People are always to judgmental and says things like "just snap out of it" it's like telling an addict to just stop using.
a l oh my god... i think i have ocd. i feel the need to do that alot and whenever i see a conversation is ending i have to say the same word everytime that happens, or else i just feel numb. its why i scream whenever i wrap my cables wrong. Thank you. Im gonna go to the doctor
I get it. It's like having a soul wedgie. Every thing feels wonky and off. I was on food loop for a while. I had to eat a donut every day. If I didn't, it was all I could think about for the rest of the day. I'll admit I like sweets, but it was to the point I was crying while eating them. I just wanted that feeling to go away.
