This is so accurate. It's not just being clean. It's sometimes doing motions a certain number of times. And you can't calm down until you do it. It's so inconvenient. And often annoys the person experiencing these compulsions. You have good days and bad days. Sometimes you can't even lay down in bed without having to tap your night stand 25 times with each hand. It is exhausting and isn't a joke.

[@xnicolex]

There are times where Ive had to blink so many times over and over again because everything I do has to be done a certain number of times that I've given myself migraines. I've accidentally touched something hot and burned myself but had to touch it again several times in a row because I couldn't just touch it once. I drop things just to have to pick them back up and drop them again so that it wasn't just done once. Everything takes me at LEAST twice as long, usually longer because not only does it have to be done a certain number of times, but also to a specific beat inside my head, and if it doesn't feel right the first time, it can mean hours and hours of just doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. Even things I don't want to do, or didn't do intentionally. Everything has to be done a certain number of times to the same specific beat in my head. I also have an entire routine before I can go anywhere or go to sleep where I have to lock and check all of my doors 36 times each in sets of 2s and then do that 8-16 times in sets of 4, all to that same specific beat in my head. It makes even the smallest task a huge ordeal because it's not like I can just do the task once, I have to do it over and over again. Things that should take 5 seconds take 5 minutes. Washing one single dish is like washing 20 of them because I have to keep washing it over and over again

[@julezdroolz]

To all of you wondering what OCD is: - OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder. It’s symptoms vary from person to person. There are things such as existential OCD, having to be extremely clean, etc. You can feel guilty for doing the smallest of bad things. You can have things that if you do not do them you will get extremely uncomfortable and/or worried. You can have intrusive thoughts. You can have to check things and do something a certain number of times. _It really depends on the person though, and you can have more than one form of OCD. There are also other symptoms I did not list, so feel free to add them to the replies._

[@destini1118]

[@sookksoo9982]

This is what we need more of as well, along with spreading the awareness. I am heartwarmed at how you dealt with this and grew to be better and want to advocate for becoming aware for things like this. I used to be the same way, and I mess up plenty but try to get better at it and learn more as we all should :) It's a great thing -- taking responsibility for things than can be either harmless or harmful, all in order to hopefully prevent construing the truth into one's favor when it isn't even necessary. It may cause the spread of misinformation and misplaced reactions towards serious situations/conditions. People admitting to themselves what we mess up with from time to time helps with growth. It makes spreading awareness so much more effective when we ponder the effect we have on other people and what other people experience as well.

My OCD makes me NEED to wash things constantly. If a pillow drops from the bed to the floor, it’s dirty. It really sucks to have to keep doing laundry. Anyways, the point is I feel you, I can’t help it either.

[@iz2333]

Practice keeping yourself from giving in to the urge to do it as long as possible. You'll be in discomfort and maybe you can't even do it at first but it is something you can practice. After a while it can get easier and eventually you may even be able to resist it. This is the most uncomfortable phase but after resisting the urge again and again, your brain slowly starts to learn that there's really nothing to worry about. This is a lot easier said than done, it takes a lot of will power and time but that's how it went for me at least. A good therapist can be incredibly helpful with this.

Just ignore it when your OCD starts kicking in, think of it like a habit, stop the habit and it will eventually stop completely. If you keep fulfilling your urges the OCD will grow more, just bear it for a while.

[@abigailmcvey8055]

Thank you for portraying OCD in correct way! It get so annoying to try to explain to people that yes I have OCD but no it does not mean that I like to be ‘neat’ and that it can manifest in other ways

[@Rand0m_Edits_]

FINALLY someone on the internet is talking about this!! I appreciate you putting the message out into the world about what OCD really is and it a not something to joke about. I feel triggered every time someone sees something neat and goes “ That’s so OCD “

[@lawyerwhohelpsfanswhowantt5652]

Dang this is really so true 😭 I literally wake up from the bed if I see something is not placed in my room correctly then place it .

[@Lifeless_Ghost_Liam]

I keep on having to organize things and stuff, and my friend keeps saying “oh I forgot you had OCD” and I was thinking about how I don’t have it, it’s just that I like to organize things neatly

[@nro337]

Thank you for bringing awareness to this. It's so diverse for each person and is seen as a quirky trait rather than the true struggle it is for so many people

[@LeoVaq]

Thank you for posting this. It means a lot, I have OCD. I feel all of the people here who have OCD.

[@LuLuPiggyWiggy]

IM GETTING SO AMGRY RIGHT NOW!!! PEOPLE *NEED* TO LEARN THAT OCD ISNT BEING A PERFECTONIST AND CLEAN FREAK. THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS. I HAVE OCD MYSELF. ITS A COMPLETLEY DIGFERENT THING.... OCD Is when you get impultions that you HAVE to do otherwise you will get intrusive thoughts and anxiety or even depression. And for me, these intrusive thoughts, even led up to me attempting suicide because i wanted a better life and i wanted to live a normal life like everybody else without having to deal with my OCD. Thats what OCD actually is. But most people still mistake it for this. OCD needs to be taken way more seriously and people just need to learn what it really is.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhooddu4701]

I always thought there was something wrong with me before I searched up that what I had was an odd type of ocd I think? What kind of ocd has people wanting to touch specific things at specific times while it decides whether it makes you satisfied touching that one thing for that specific amount of time or if you want to touch it for longer or you need to touch something else- 😭help

Thats regular ocd. Ive had it for 14 years, i know

A+++! “My family will die if I don’t wash my hands“ has nothing to do with being ‘type A’ or hyper organized. Can’t wait to see more!

[@venuscanteven425]

My room is absolutely trashed, but one time when I was taking notes in class I started balling my eyes out because my hand writing wasn't perfect. I re-wrote each line at least five times that night and cried for three hours.

[@dianxiaworshipper1066]

i have multiple older teachers who say im so ocd and im crying because its not like thta at all, thats just being organized ocd is an actual illness that effects peoples lives

[@LSPatrolLive]

Cried after seeing this. Have had severe OCD most of my adult life. It might seem simple but try getting stuck in these hell loops for minutes at a time for each one. All that adds up. I got sad thinking of all the time I’ve wasted doing these tasks. Much love to anyone who can relate.

[@koala4life3]

Thank you! I have symmetry ocd which a bunch of people don’t know abt but when my friend found out they were like “but ur room should be clean and all ur stuff should be neat” I tried telling them that’s not what ocd is but they didn’t believe me 🙄

[@pualaniproud]

Thank you so much for this, as someone with OCD myself, intrusive thoughts have devastated my brain in many ways, and caused me lots of pain, even around things that I love most. People are so uneducated on it, and just lack so much understanding, much of it not to their own fault. People who joke about it or say that have it but don’t just simply don’t realize what actual hell they are joking about. Thank you so much, it’s so nice to see people who actually know spreading awareness.

[@LunaCannone]

This is extremely helpful to ppl who thought OCD was neat and organized. I don't think I have OCD but I do sometimes get a severe amount of anxiety when I do certain things. This video helps me understand a clearer defintion of OCD so ty

[@willowheart6590]

I have OCD. Thankyou for accurately explaining this to those who don't understand.

[@ytuser4562]

THANK YOU! I have medically diagnosed OCD and I’m not always organized. My OCD is information-based, so I feel the compulsive need to know everything about everything I learn. It helps me do very well in school but at great social and personal cost. I wish we could spread more awareness so people would stop thinking it’s just being neat

[@cyrillavanilla]

Thank you for this. I have OCD and people will make fun of me and sometimes even disregard my OCD because I’m not organized. It’s really hard for me to deal with this, and even though I was diagnosed by a professional it still makes me think “what if I’m faking it?” because of the media.

[@xynic]

Thanks for posting this it's accurate Ocd isn't giggles and stuff

[@mxsoncross195]

thank you honestly i have ocd and nobody understands they think it’s a self diagnoses kinda thing

[@maialuvsyou]

Thank you for informing real ocd to people who think it’s just organization. My friend with ocd had an emotional breakdown when her friends threw their toys all over her room and broke her closet leaving her color coded clothing in disarray. I had to comfort her for a while and help her clean the mess. I felt so bad while her friends just said “it’s just a little mess stop acting like an ocd.” I almost beat the shit out of them. I felt so bad.

[@jessicamikeellenberger7422]

I agree. I have OCD and it has impacted my life terribly. People think that if you have OCD is funny because everything has to be perfect. That's not how it works. You can't laugh at something until you have experienced experienced it yourself.

I’ve dealt with OCD for about 6 years now. This really makes me feel comfortable. Thank you.

[@chantelcaprice4119]

Thank you for this video! Ugh when people use OCD as an adjective for being neat and organized, it’s the worst. I have had OCD for years and it can be debilitating at times. More education on OCD and mental health disorders in general is very important.

[@complexindividual]

Thanks for saying this. People just think OCD is just being a "neat freak", when in reality, it's devastating. I can't even explain it in words how much pain it inflicts.We are struggling, we don't want to spend hours on the same thing. But we can't control ourselves, it's our brain. It acn take up to several hours in a day. Especially in school,or times when there's stress. It gets SO bad. Also doing repetitive actions to get rid of the unwanted and intrusive thoughts, mine is like hitting my head with hand untill I feel dizzy and those thoughts subside for a while. OCD really sucks.

[@The_FlyingNinja]

I don’t personally have OCD but I know about it. Sometimes people say they have OCD when they are just organized. I’m really happy you made this video it’s helping raise awareness.

Thank you so much, OCD makes my life hell, and when people say you’re so OCD when the person doesn’t have it drives me crazy and you clarifying this in the media makes things that much better

[@holly2894]

Yeah I agree! It is hell to deal with and it's super annoying when people say it as a phrase when they don't have it. Someone in my class was like 'oh I'm so OCD' because they were making their work neat. I know there are different types of OCD, but it's just hard when that is compared to the harsher versions. I just wanted to yell 'does it take you 10 hours a day of compulsions to be able to live?! Are you kept up until 3am with worries and compulsions??'. But obviously I didn't. Oh well.

[@harrisonjara9210]

Thanks for teaching more people about what OCD actually is. It can be hard sometimes and annoying when someone says "Oh you have OCD" just because I line my pencils up straight.

[@anonymoustoes]

This is my first time seeing a video like this. The stigma around OCD makes it something that people can laugh at and it goes untreated. OCD is definitely one of those mental disorders where everybody’s laughing or angry until they see its not funny anymore, until they watch you completely unravel into yourself and lay in a destroyed pit of hell. Just seeing one video of someone aware of what it actually is has given me so much hope. I’m only 17 but I feel way past the age where I have any life to live. I want to get better and see the person I could be without this ghost following me everywhere. Sorry for the rant and have a nice day x

[@Dullo10]

[@kei7264]

Thank you for posting this. I don’t have OCD but a person in my life does. OCD has destroyed their life and ppl throwing the “your so OCD” is just… no. Idk how to say it in more words, I just don’t like it when ppl mindlessly say other ppl or aay that they themselves have *insert whatever illness* when they don’t. I know that it’s a lack of knowledge of these things but I feel like ppl have to learn about stuff like these before saying anything about it.

[@noahpp1]

Thank you for this. Some of my friends say the have OCD when all they are are perfectionists and neat and organized. My parents say there is no way I have OCD because my room is such a mess but again that's not the case. I wish more people knew the difference between being a perfectionist and having OCD. So again, thank you for this.

[@leah-cg4lr]

Thank you! I don't have OCD but my dad does and it can affect him so bad, and being organized does not have to mean you're OCD. In fact, you could be OCD and still have a complete mess, for example, a hoarding type of OCD. So thank you so much for this :)

As a person who just got diagnosed with this shit I must say I was stupid. I ACTUALLY thought that ocd meant people just wanted to be super organized and like that.
