And I have ADHD

I also have OCD

I feel you my man 😂

I remember the recovery sucking hard. Meditation helped a little. Harper Daniels had a small book called 30 Days to Stop Obsessing that I liked a bit.

Thank you so much for sharing, brother! I'm so sorry to hear that 😢! I know exactly what you mean because I myself have Contamination OCD and I'm actualy dealing with this exact thing right now...I'm isolated due to avoidance of a gathering 😢.

Idk what contamination OCD is but I feel like I have a form of it irl. I wash my hands like 100 times a day, I take a shower everyday and if I don't I go fucking crazy, I clean like clock work. Even if I clean all day it's not clean enough, there's always something to clean there's always something dirty. I make myself so tired by just cleaning it's insane.

Thank you for talking about this :)

Why aren’t u afraid of hives

Great Video Ty

🙏🏼🖤

Yup

i know tiktok is not the place to "find diagnosis" but it literally saved my relationship, because understanding where this thoughts came from and being able to see all in a more logical way made it able to practically stop all of those thoughts and just enjoy my relationship, we're completing 3 years together in couple weeks 💖

You just said it again, you hypocrite, apologise immediately!

i have ocd😞😞

I have a problem. I have both OCD and ASD and I think they play a role in my relationship with my mom. I'm so sensitive and defensive, and I get into arguments with her. And I think they're mostly my fault. I'm actually jealous of her--that she's usually right or innocent and I'm usually wrong or guilty. That she hardly ever has anything to apologize for, that it's much more appropriate coming from me. Let's face it--life isn't as simple as everybody makes mistakes and has flaws. Some people are REALLY flawed and defined by that. Look at certain celebrities and politicians. In many relationships, there's one person who's pretty much always innocent while the other is pretty much always guilty; the constant cause of their conflicts or issues, the one who's worthy of saying "I'm sorry." That's me. I feel like my mom is better than me. I would've been fine if she messed up or was morally wrong every now and then so that we'd be equal as human beings, but no, it's pretty much always me. And it's not as simple as "change the behavior." That's what my mom wants, way more than an apology (she forgives and moves on easily). That's the contradiction. You might say, "Duh, John, then stop the behavior," and I don't do that, even though it's what _she_ wants. In my worst moments, I'm emotionally wrecked and her unintentional offenses get to me and I make our long talks overwhelming for her. And I shouldn't do that. It adds to the list of John's faults. I'm always losing to my mom. I always apologize in the end and buy her treats, but I end up screwing up again and being an asshoIe. I'd take a buIIet for her, and honestly, that would cure my pain and guiIt. Better me than her, of course.

Underrated ❤

Really well put, those intrusive thoughts are tough.

Thanks for sharing your story with us, bro! People need to know about OCD (what it REALLY is), you're doing great bro, thank you!

Well said bro! Yeah, most people who think they know what OCD is actually don't really know. They see it as a good think to have, while in reality if you really have OCD you suffer from it.

So true bro, we are luckily indeed! One thing I've realized is that people with OCD seem to feel embarrassed about their OCD, I sometimes do too, but then I realize that actually I should because OCD is almost like having cancer, we didn't choose to have OCD, but it rather chose us.

Wow bro, interesting! Do you think this applies to storytelling too, like any subject?

Real OCD:

I am mesmerized by your hair in rhis video. I had to watch it 3 times to actually hear what you said. It's absolutely beautiful.

Google masiar emotos water experiment.

That's hectic bro, I can't even imagine being like this in school, it must be really tough! My contamination OCD started around the age of 21, however I have to say I've also done the "one clean hand, one dirty hand" thing a lot (especially in the days I used to eat certain foods with my hands) lately I avoid eating with my hands because I takes too long to wash my hands just so it can be "clean enough" for me to eat. I know the struggle brother.

I always tried to wash my hands before lunch.

Always appreciate these open conversations 🙏 Thank you for sharing

❤

I wonder if this also applies to being terrible at lying in situations where it's necessary, like for surprises or when the truth is extremely hurtful and unnecessary

Wow, and I thought I was the only one. I overshare a lot too. You're not alone bro.

My wife has been what feels like torment me with questions about my past relationships, almost every single day until we end up fighting and ends up in an intense panic attack. She will ask the same type of questions about multiple partners we’ve talked about in the beginning of our relationship, and cannot calm down or control it until they are answered even though she knows it’s going to turn into a massive fight. It’s like an itch, and she can’t help it. She has multiple learning disabilities and I’m wondering if she has OCD or if these are “OCD questions” as well. 🙏🏻

I thought I was the only one! I do this when I'm stressed... Or uncomfortable. To me it is just like bringing myself back to my roots or trying to ground myself. Thanks for making me feel less alone🎉

“Just turn it off” lmao easier said than done 😅ngl broke my ankle many years ago and the ER dr legitimately let me “walk it off”. 11days later I was in surgery and still have the medical equipment in my leg lol

Oh crap! That’s intense, Happy to see your dad is doing better now and you’re managing to cope with everything 🙏

Ugh, yes to all of this. Please make more videos. I relate to this so much.

Very insightful conversation, thank you for sharing. It can definitely “backfire” when we choose to open up about our thoughts and that anxiety can be really overwhelming. It is comforting hearing and knowing other’s have these experiences too.. ❤

Such a pleasure to share my story with you Tyler. ❤

Fabulous insight in to a very misunderstood illness. X

Bro this is so real

Thank you for this❤ ur so humorous

OCD sucks. There was a book called 30 Days to Stop Obsessing by Harper Daniels that helped me with meditations for it.

Dude, your story is a lot like mine! Except, I was normal in school...I can't imagine being like that having to go to school. My OCD started in 2012 with checking then an extreme fear for germs started in 2014 (which I struggle with every day), I'm not diagnosed yet, but I have no doubt that I have at least these two subtypes. My contamination OCD got worse over time and I also can't eat at restaurants nor have take a ways. It really sucks though because I used to enjoy it. I'm finally going to see a therapist today for the first time, not sure what to expect but I believe everything will go well. I'm glad to hear you do better. Keep it up and I love your channel bro.
