I just find out I have that

Thank you for making this video. How did you get a diagnosis? I've heard that's is hard to get one

Hello - I am just wondering what prompted you to go and get a diagnosis? I’m asking because my experience with someone with OCPD is that he is always in the right and doesn’t see what is wrong with his behavior.

Proud proud proud of u! It's amazing how u recognize ur limitations and look forward to work on them. Ur partner and children are so lucky. I and my dad die everyday dealing with my mom with ocpd. She is prejudiced against taking therapy and is too egoistic to recognize her limitations. We aren't as lucky as ur family :)

Thank you so much for posting this. I just found out today what OCPD was and before that always thought I had some form of OCD or extreme perfectionism and self hatred. This is the first time I've heard someone talk about what I struggle with on a daily basis.

Have u found anything that works? I have been suffering for over 15 years. Meds don’t help me.

03:48 I can relate to this feeling of relief and happiness after having (self)diagnosed OCPD. I have been so excited and incredible to read the respective ICD 10 criteria, since they basically describe me, which is mind-blowing. Again, it's fascinating to hear about people like you having felt the same way... 😊

I haven't been officially diagnosed, but a psychiatrist at the ER recently told me this was his theory and holy shit was he right. I've been feeling this kind of emptiness that is different than depression episodes I've had in the past. Hearing your story was really very helpful, so thank you for posting this. Especially the piece about wondering "what is my personality?" That is exactly what I am feeling right now.

As someone who works under a manager with OCPD, the frustrating part IS the complete projection of their egotistical needs onto others. The need to see everything as a competition, the need to control and to criticize others, the double-standard of wanting other people to constantly follow their rules but being the one that can change the rules at a moments notice if they break their own rule... like being the one that makes themselves late to something. They will criticize me for being literally one minute late, but since they are the manager will just change the meeting time if they are running late. For me, it feels like my manager is abusive with his OCPD... like I feel actual trauma from not being able to find another job where I don't have to uproot my entire life to get away from him. The idea of perfection isn't real, either. Like I like the results of my process more than I like the results of his process, but I don't force him to do his projects they way I want to do mine, yet he does force me to do projects the way he does projects and it seems slow, low quality, and low client satisfaction. It's the need to violate other people's boundaries and control them, even through triangulating around them and manipulating things. It's a "keep your hands to yourself" lesson that didn't seem to get picked up by the person with OCPD. I'm glad to hear how people who have this disorder think, so that I can navigate them better, but it is really exhausting to deal with someone with OCPD who is in denial. Thanks for processing your life. Most people know they aren't perfect, even if they like things a certain way, and we do something called "compromise" and "respect boundaries".

I am so appreciative of this video. Thank you

Great job in expressing your feelings about your diagnosis of OCPD. You mention that you worry now if it may have been a contributing factor in some failed relationships you’ve experienced . Its seems that you currently have friends in your life so obviously you haven’t let your disorder always get the best of you and they have seen good things in you. From what I’ve researched on the topic and in having a son with the disorder I can tell you that isnt always the case and that many people with the disorder lose their closest relationships. I think your obvious ability to be honest with yourself and others and your openness to learn how to identify when your over reactions or expectations may be negatively effecting others is going to be the key to you overcoming your disorder and ensuring a better life for yourself.

Thanks for sharing and your openness <3

Thanks for sharing. I would really love to see more personal examples of this condition. Your video was not perfect and this is part of being human so great insight. But it real and heart felt. Also great insight into recognizing that rigid adherence to order and timeliness does not equate to having a good time, or reflect negatively on you. Dare to be bad sometime, put your husband's socks with his tee-shirts and see what happens. Best wishes as you continue to work on personal issues that effect your life.

I was diagnosed with this as well as OCD. So it's a constant battle between my OCPD believing it's right and the OCD knowing the compulsions are illogical

I have been diagnosed with OCPD for at least 8 years now, everyday is a struggle. Learn to take time with your kids because it truly is worth it. For years I didn't have time for my kiddos, I prioritized irrelevant tasks ahead of their childhood. Now things are much better, it is important that you allow your need for perfection to exist and set aside a small portion of the day to easing that anxiety. Best of luck, you are not alone.

My husband has it but he refuses to admit, how do I get him to realize it and get help?

Thank you so for this video it's really hard for a teenager as all my friends never understand me at all and I just feel so alone like no one understands me one of the main concepts with me is devotion to work...

Thanks. I've find a critical partner and raising children evoke this

Why did she just describe my whole life to a T? Is she my FBI agent? lmao

I can totally understand, even I m suffering from OCD and OCPD since when I was 13 and now I'm 18 it's getting worse every day I have been on medication since the starting but it isn't working properly. the thing which u were confused about and questioning "WHO AM I " I can totally get it because even I asked the same question to myself, that makes me feel like I'm characterless 😔 I ruined all my relationships due to a lot of expectations from them😔 I get very depressed sometimes because i have very big goals extremely big plans, but due to this perfectionism and disorders I'm slowly losing the vision of my goals

Very courageous and brave of you to put yourself out there on this subject. Like you, the diagnosis was a happy thing to learn but after a few months, the concern about “who am I” set in and I went over past relationships and experiences to see where my “disorder” caused issues. I’m lucky. I’m married to the same partner for 38 years who loves me unconditionally and who knew my personality was a challenge from the time we initially met. But he sees the positives I. My personality and encourages me to build on my strengths. Good luck with your progress. Thanks for your video.

Are most OCPD's angry as they have 'my way or highway attitude' ?

I relate to this too much. Thankyou for sharing and making me not feel alone. It’s so hard to hear people talk about their experience with ocpd. I have ocpd but I can’t be diagnosed unfortunately until I am 18

Hi, i have a loved one whom i think have ocpd, i'm willing learn more on how to get along with my loved one. Can i message you or email you? Thank you

How am I barely seeing this. I love this!

Thank you for sharing this! It all sounds so relatable to me except for the spending style and not being able to discard objects. I've just started with therapy so I still have a long way to go but thanks to you it's making so much more sense so thank you for that. Hopefully you are doing better now!

Wow you hit the nail on the head explaining what OCD really feels like in everyday situations.

Great video. love your transparency and honesty.

thank you for sharing, i'm grateful for every instance i dont feel crazy all by myselgf:S it can get lonely out here

Thank you so much for talking about this. I haven't been able to get an official diagnosis, but I have been struggling to find out what is wrong with me for a long time and OCPD fits incredibly well. I can relate to everything you are saying. Whether I end up diagnosed or not, the information is helpful and validating.

I am wondering how you were diagnosed with this disorder because you would need to have significant negative impact on your life. You should check the difference between the personality style and the personality disorder. The disorder is just an exaggeration of traditionally good qualities, and this to such an extreme that it creates disturbance in your life. It should cause significant problems in your life. I would be warry about accepting any diagnostics because therapists and psychiatrists routinely make mistakes (just like doctors). You have a productive, socially full life. You're married, have good relationships with your family by the looks of it, have friends. I have NO friends, have major social problems and have routinely been discriminated in social or professional relationships for not being able to integrate according to norms. I've seen someone that fits those criteria and honestly they are NOT able to have what you have. Their life is empty. I feel mine has been the same, empty. I've been going to therapy for years and it's only now that I received a diagnostics. I suspect it's because I outwardly look successful (present well and was very successful academically) Please consider closely whether those features are in fact a disorder or just a personality style that may be a bit pronounced at certain edges in certain situations. In the US many therapists need to give a diagnostics to be able to get their money from insurance companies (I don't live in the US, by the way). These people don't care about you. Many people make plans and dislike it when they aren't able to fulfill them. A lot of people dislike being made to be late. That is not a disorder in and of itself. Of course, I don't know all the details, but what you said does not sound like a disorder to me and I can pretty much say that those around you would gently point out if you really had personality disorders because people with personality disorders are very difficult people to live with/have any type of relationship with and that's why many times they can't hold long-term relationships. The fact that you were so willing to believe you were an awful person points to low self-esteem.

I found www.16personalities.com/ useful because it's started to be well known on KZbin... If you find a good KZbinr who can explain or a fb group this can also help but if you are diagnosed with a pd expect not to relate 100% of the time but you should relate if you answer honestly. I wouldn't say anyone has been diagnosed with a personality, it's just something you have, so I don't see so much a harm in looking into it and those NT communities might help you understand how you differ from the norm (despite norm being who you are for you) good luck x

Really grateful for this video - thank you so much for sharing. You are speaking my story!

Yeah if you see her she’s a little dimen

Hihihih

Dang Nina you post lots of videos

Thank you so much for this. I am trying to get a diagnosis and I'm watching a lot of videos. But most videos are doctors just going over the DSM. It only seems to hit home properly when people with the disorder give real examples. I'm so grateful you have shared this.

teaching is a dead end job. just start an onlyfans

Omg Luz is so brave!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe my husband has OCPD and it’s ruining our relationship. I searched a lot about OCPD. I also talked to 2 psychiatric who offered free service at my church and they said that it was OCPD. However, my husband is not willing to see a psychiatric or admit it. Could you provide me with any resources to cope with my husband and live peacefully like virtual support groups

Been there done that. Went through 2 year depression where I let crap pile up and had a very messy place - but it returned right after of the the depression. Almost all of it... not leaving a dish in the sink for more than 3 minutes, to cleaning house twice a week.

Thanks for sharing. I'm suffering from ocpd too, and I'd like to know your experience within pregrancy and hiw ocpd affects relationship with your loved ones. I m so scared of growing a family bcs of this disorder...

I'm a very religious person, until one freaking day, i started praying at the doorknob, i kept doing the same thing all day, and if i skip it or try to avoid doing it, it bothers me like something bad is going to happen, then the hardest part of my day is going to the bathroom thinking about my crush, when his face is suddenly turning into the guy i hate a lot, and i won't leave the bathroom until i see his face without thinking him as the guys i hate. This is so stupid, like i have to look at myself in the mirror without looking away, until i finally get inside my bedroom, or some unwanted images popping in my mind, this is disturbing me.

two things that personally I think really help towards OCPD recovery and management, Meditation and Medication. try to do things for enjoyment not achievement. I'm pretty sure I have OCPD. I feel there is somewhat of a cross over with other disorders like generalised anxiety disorder, has your doctor recommended any medication?

So happy u made this video..im struggling with same issues...when u were diagnosed did they suggest therapy or medication? Thanks
