Coping with OCD | How I live with OCD

[@betterlife6510]

I have OCD too since I was a kid. Today I stopped my antidepressant because it make me forgetting a lot. Today I forgot it's Monday I almost didn't take my daughter to school . I'm so lonely today 😞. OCD, depression, illness, anxiety. Being so far from family. No friends. I'm lost. Pray for me things will get better soon.

🙏🙏🙏 Sending you Prayers & healing thoughts… Please watch the depression & make sure you talk to someone & hopefully tell someone or your doc. that you stopped your medication, I am on meds. & still feel depressed; as I have had a cancer diagnosis & don’t sleep the best. This time of year leading up to Xmas is terrible for depression / anxiety…. Really wishing the best for you..💯

I am so sorry for your vulnerability, sweet. Have you found any professional support in your area? Let us know how you are getting on. 🧡

Ik this video is a year old and the creator might not see it but idc if they do or not I just have to show my appreciation for how much this helped me. I suffer with ocd and constantly just thought i was very bored i just did things out of boredom but what you said in this vid and what ppl have told me really brings things together and show that i have ocd now I was never diagnosed but with how things are I think i do have it. This vid helped me realize I'm not alone and I'm not crazy lol. It hit so hard I was sort of stopping myself from crying due to how much relief I felt from seeing how another person suffers with this as well and I'm not alone. Thank you so much for this vid it really helped me with what I'm going though and gob bless you and everyone here who also suffers with ocd I hope you all have a good day :).

I am 27 years old and just received my OCD diagnosis. I’ve been in therapy for almost 3 months now but I’m still struggling. Hearing your story has been encouraging for me. Mine manifests as very obsessive and intrusive thoughts and I really just want a sense of normalcy back in my life.

[@IamBecca]

Bless your heart. I wish I could give you a very gentle hug. I promise it gets better, and therapy DOES help. It is just a long journey. I now like to see my OCD as kind of a super power? It makes me super empathetic, engaged and emotional - and I'm learning to like that about myself.

[@AlecWyld]

@@IamBecca Wow, I relate to you about being very empathetic, engaged, and also at times very emotional. I feel like others don't share nearly the amount of empathy I have for people in pain. I'm going to be starting therapy soon since I was recently officially diagnosed with OCD. I really appreciate your videos.

[@noelkemmy1694]

26 year I suffered, still suffer intrusive thoughts, I also have level 7 in psychology, does it make it easier? NO.. do I understand it YES. ITS LIKE A BULLY. intrusive thoughts manifest in themes that are against your moral compass. Keep doing the videos young lady. Happy recovery 🙏❤️

[@IamBecca]

You're so right that it is like a bully! That is such a good way of putting it. Thank you so much for this. 🧡

[@Rocknrollguy178]

Thank you for sharing your story…as an OCD sufferer for 10+ years at 26 year old, I know how lonely it can feel. Medication I think can really help make things a little easier and that certainly is nothing to be scoffed at! Love your content and all the best to you on your journey :)

[@IamBecca]

It is so interesting to see how many people also suffer with this. Thank you, always. 🧡

[@nickbiss39]

Another great video, Becca. I've always been a bit different to my peers and never considered I might be neurodivergent until well into adulthood. Thanks so much for broaching OCD as a topic; understanding of common behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders is massively lacking and it's awesome that you're encouraging discussion and acceptance. I appreciated your recent videos on self-esteem and grief, too - they felt very raw, honest, and familiar to my own experiences 🧡

[@IamBecca]

Thank you Nick, you wonderful human. I am so glad you have found a little something in my videos. 🧡

[@suziesmith4255]

Thank you for sharing again something so personal. It has given me more of an understanding of the different ways OCD can manifest itself. I know of someone who doesn’t have the typical symptoms but your video has opened my eyes to the possibility of OCD with other symptoms. Thank you as I now can have more of an understanding of what they may be dealing with.

[@IamBecca]

Suzie, you are such a saint for watching a video about something you want to educate yourself on. That is such a gorgeous trait to have. 🧡

[@bbghoul_x]

I got diagnosed with ocd when I was twelve. I also had it since I was a kid. Thank you for making this video and being so open with us. I feel less alone now 💗

[@IamBecca]

Thank you - you have also made me feel less alone. Nobody understands OCD as much as someone else who struggles with it. 🧡

It is hard to express how much you mean to me,but these vids create something inside of me,which help me find ways to heal myself..there is much stuff going on in my life which does not fare well all the time,but when you talk and tell..things become clear and somehow "explained"...you are a fantastic and beautiful human..thank you Becca..for always being important

[@IamBecca]

This almost made me cry! Thank you, so so so so much. You're amazing. 🧡

[@willowwinkle]

Hope you are feeling all better from feeling under the weather 🤗🤗💗Not that you need an excuse to take a break! Sent you a message about your lovely art-piece I received. omg SO wonderful. (guys, support her art) Love this video. I relate with so much of this even though I never had a formal diagnosis. For example when I was a little child I would have to say this long winded good-night to my mother listing all the ways she was to stay safe (don't fall down the stairs, etc.) and she thought it was funny and cute but really it was something I felt that if I didn't say... something bad would happen! As a adult, I notice it more as, "I know I just checked that thing.. but feel like I should re-check.." Your self-care tips are wonderful.

[@IamBecca]

OH MY GOSH I AM SO GLAD IT ARRIVED!! You are amazing. I am so so so grateful for you. And I completely relate to what you're saying as well - thank you, as usual, for your vulnerability and willingness to share - it is inspirational. 🧡 Sending so much love and nudge me on Email or Insta if I haven't responded - you know how bad I am with messages! Haha. 🧡

[@BalancedWebSurfer396]

Hey, thank you so much for this. Been suffering with OCD for roughly over a year at this point after realising a traumatic thing happened to me and I’ve only just recently started to… resist my compulsions? Like. Now when they come into my head I’m just like “oh, cool” and can manage to just move on with my day. Obviously this isn’t everyday; some days are better than others and there’s days where I just give in and have to do them. It feels nice to know I’m not alone. Also I have the same thing when it comes to the whole “touch wood” thing! That’s the only compulsion I haven’t really been able to overcome as of yet. But instead of a bracelet I carry around half of a wooden peg. Just. Thanks for this, it’s nice to know that I’m not alone really. Have a great day! Oh, subbed also! Your content seems great.

[@IamBecca]

I cannot believe you have the same 'touch wood' thing! I have never met anyone else who has had that compulsion. I love that you carry round a peg! I promise you, you aren't alone. And this comment - YOUR comment - made ME feel less alone. Thank YOU for that gift. 🧡

[@dcworld1076]

welcome back becca you have been missed

[@IamBecca]

Thank you, I have missed you all too. 🧡

[@cassandraknight8804]

Thank you; I know I need to go back to therapy, am in the process of finding one. It’s still so helpful to hear from someone who unfortunately understands how difficult it is, to HAVE TO do certain things that are/ can be exhausting. I actually understand touching wood- for me it’s not the saying but a grounding thing. Anyway THANK YOU.

[@IamBecca]

I wish I could give you a HUGE hug. This comment means the world to me to know I am not alone in this. Please let me know how you are getting on? Lotta love. 🧡

[@MaryleaMemaw]

Thank you for your openness. We are probably all going through some similar things.

My sweet Becca, it's great seeing you in this new video again ❤️ The best way to treat OCD is to work closely with a mental health professional who can help you identify and overcome the underlying causes of your disorder. Treatment typically includes medication and/or therapy.Some people find that medication is the best solution for them, while others find that therapy is more effective. There are a variety of different types of medication that can be used to treat OCD, and each person will react differently to different medications. Some people find that medication is only part of the solution, while others find that it is the only solution. There are also a variety of different types of therapy that can be used to treat OCD. Some people find that therapy is only part of the solution, while others find that it is the only solution. The best way to find out if OCD is the right treatment for you is to talk to your doctor. Tips on how to treat OCD may include: - Taking medication to control the symptoms: OCD can be severely debilitating, and medication can help to control the symptoms. - Participating in therapy/counseling: Therapy/counseling can help to address the underlying causes of OCD, and can provide relief from the symptoms. - Practicing mindfulness: mindfulness can help to focus attention on the present, which can help to reduce the intensity of OCD thoughts. - Engaging in activities that are enjoyable: OCD can be severely restricting, and engaging in activities that are enjoyable can help to reduce the intensity of OCD symptoms. Hugs and kisses my friend 🙂💋
