[@longtimecoming3698]

So many people think they have OCD because they don't like when there is a yellow skittle mixed in with the red ones. No, this is OCD and it consumes and steals your life and happiness.

[@Evan-yn7ww]

Some other things are not ocd, just perfectionism or maybe germaphobic tendencies

[@nataliapine9598]

The most accurate representation I’ve seen of OCD to date.

[@triangularsphere]

Natalia P there are many different types of ocd 🙄 I had it and was medically diagnosed. It wasn’t like that. I was scared of germs. Edit: y’all aren’t therapists I thought I had germaphobia at first, but was D I A G N O S E D with OCD by several professionals.

Natalia P it has to be the most accurate. OCD is no joke and people like to say they have it when they really don’t and it’s annoying because they have no idea how it is to deal with it. I have to twist my door knob 20 times before I leave so I avoid closing it

Right.

[@insa8142]

Sierrah DiCosimo maybe I’m just a perfectionist but sometimes small habits make me question if they are still normal because like many people in the comment section are talking about this time pressure thing but I don’t have this I have more like if something isn’t perfectly aligned or if this one specific door isn’t closed or if I write something some lines just don’t feel right even tho I think they’d look perfectly fine to other people but I have to ‘correct‘ them or I’m getting this really weird feeling but maybe that’s just perfectionism Idk 😐

[@Nneeras]

@@insa8142 Perfectionism is the urge for things to be perfect. OCD is more like doing things to your own accord. Perfectionism is the over all definition of that object being perfect. For example; drawing a perfect circle, most would think of a clean line and a perfect dimensional shape. That's perfectionism. Some OCDs close to the perfectionism category would be like; drawing a circle with one indent. It's not "perfect" but it HAS to be that way. In their eyes it's the RIGHT way.

[@insa8142]

Sierrah DiCosimo When I’m writing or drawing it’s like you said in the description of OCD but in every other way I think it’s perfectionism🤷🏽‍♀️ But it’s only writing and drawing so it isn’t that bad I should probably not worry about that too much 🤷🏽‍♀️ Thanks tho for explaining ☺️

Agreed. It’s called perfectionism. I consider myself a perfectionist. That means you love things to be clean and organized at all times. OCD is a mental disorder in which you need to accomplish repetitive tasks to feel satisfied and anxiety-free for the time being. It’s a real problem. People shouldn’t really be self-diagnosing themselves. It’s very frustrating, I feel terrible for the people with OCD that have to listen to that moronic bullshit.

[@Nat-Green]

Exactly I do have OCD and I AM MESSY, I can’t leave my shoes if any shoe is touching a stripe on the floor or If I write something I need to erase and write aging and repeat the process spike 30 times but that doesn’t mean I’m tidy. I hate every time I tell someone I have ocd and they say “omg me too I’m like very very tidy and organized so same girl”

Soo I'm almost out of the tunnel after battling ocd for 7 years. It's a VERY long process and it's so difficult to eliminate all of the rituals, now I have only one or two. I'm so happy, I have my life back. the intrusive thoughts are starting to fade and now I always tell myself :"your family Is not gonna die if you don't close your backpack 5 times" and know I'm starting to believe it. To all the people with ocd, i'm with you, you can do this :-)

[@2312paras]

How did you overcame it?

[@margheritafodaro5542]

@@2312paras I took my time, I didn't pressure myself. I analyzed one ritual at a time and tried to eliminate one step of it or to change it a little bit. For example I used to hang my bathrobe 5 times. Then I switched to 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. Keep in mind it took me A LOT but It was all worth it, I wanted my life back. YOU CAN DO THIS

Mine actually developed into urinary frequency , i didn't even noticed that my ocd caused it until I went to the doctor. We did urinalysis , ultrasound , blood tests and all were normal then i realized what if it was because whenever i thought of something bad , i would always force myself to pee because for me it was a way to prevent that bad thought to happen, it came to the point where if i touch something i'd pee , if i think of something bad, i'd pee , for me peeing was a way to relieve myself of these thoughts , but then I wasn't able to really do or enjoy anything because every fricking 3 minutes I would want to pee , it was really frustrating for me , Thankfully I've finally stopped it now, and enjoying life ! ,:)

[@tabithamulford4534]

Yes and no... Ive had severe OCD for a large portion of my life and it effects my reading alot. If I read and I think I misread, I'll reread the page. Then my brain uses that to,fire a storm of OCD by making me read if again.. Then each sentence out loud.... Then I'll start spelling out the words and reading out puncuation. It got to the point I could not read to help me relax (something I use to do) and in school I had to get extended times on tests cause of how long it take just reading a paragraph. So yes, if you're brain says "do it or else" (not exactly like that but just simplefying) when rereading and u keep repeating that process even though you KNOW you read it correctly.... Then, yes.

The fact you have to touch something until it feels right is so true. Sometimes it never feels right and I cry because the anxiety I get won't go away. It is a such a disgustingly strong lure to having everything perfect. I had OCD so bad, I would constantly wash my hands, it got so bad my hands were so dry they cracked and bled. I got on medicine which helped but I stopped taking it. I hate when kids at my school act like its cute to have OCD. They don't understand its a terrible disorder. The fact I have to turn my fan off and on 20 times and realize my footing wasn't right and do it again. To then realize my hands our now disgusting and I must go wash them and I have to close the door with my foot so my hands won't get dirty and to make sure my bed sheets are perfectly over the bed and the bed it pushed against the wall, to go wash my hands again. Finally become content and go to sleep. It has gotten better after speaking with a therapist. Please don't say you have OCD because its "cute". I commented this but I thought it would be nice on this thread.

Let me add that when watching a movie and I don't know what they said, I can't focus and it ruins the next scene.

after 8 years of OCD & holding for too long I visited a doctor last week & he told me that I have: major depressive disorder (MDD) obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) & now I'm on paroxetine :( If I cared about my mental health earlier & took it seriously from the beginning things would be a lot easier cuz now I have Irritable bowel syndrome & central serous retinopathy in my right eye. both of them showed up because of anxiety & depression. so if you reading this please take your mental health seriously there's no wrong in that... seeking help does not make you weak or less of a man. pray for me & for all of us ❤

My OCD routine. Close the toilet seat twice. Make sure to use your wrist when turning on the water. Use back of your hand to push soap out. Open door with wrist or arm. Make sure no creases are on your bed. Clean up all garbage in room. Organize stuffed animals twice. Flip the light switch on 38 times. At cousins house go to stairs and tap on the bottom step 110 times or 78 times. Move things to specific spots now because your going to do it sooner or later so how about sooner. Make outfit for tomorrow. Make sure the time is odd when you go to bed. Listen for the microwave to beep 3 times and then tick once to open. Right before fridge closes jump. Make sure whatever you took out of the fridge is on the counter before fridge closes. That's not everything, just what I can think of off the top of my head. Not including other fucked up things.

There are some that may have mild cases however there's a fine line between being organized and having a disorder. Everyone wants to feel included and have the same shortcomings as everyone else nowadays so they can feel "real" or so that their accomplishments stand out even more in their life but you can't go around falsely claiming these hardships it's messed up. Imagine someone falsely claiming they had cancer or something very fatal. I'm not comparing the two that was simply an example of false claims.

Things I'll never do ever, but I was scared maybe that at a point I will do it. I feel like I can come very close to negatively reacting to these thoughts and I thought they weren't real or I was just messed up, too.

Every night I have to tell my mom I love her and good night and that I am going to bed or I get a gut feeling that something bad will happen to her, there is something else but I can't type it out because then i feel like something bad is going to happen to my family. This has only happened twice but whenever I find a stray hair normally my sister's i tell myself I can't let it go or something bad will happen to my sister. I do not do this anymore because I moved houses, but when I was about eight every night when I had to go say good night to my mom I would have to crawl through a kitchen if I did not do that I would be terrified that someone would shoot me through the windows. Around the same time I was eight I could not keep any secrets from my family or I would have to think something would happen to them, that thought would torture me every day. This other thing I am about to tell you does not happen much anymore and I swear I am not a sociopath, I always had a fear that I would hurt someone and I would have nights where my brain tortured me and making me think if I could actually hurt these people. 1 last thing I do every sense I dissected a frog and a sheep eye ball I can't have anything with the same texture and the sheep eye ball smelled like weird ink so i can't eat any food that as a resembles taste of ink.

Yes you have the same as me, a mixture of ocd and anxiety. Usually the ocd builds up on the anxiety, so your anxious behaviour must have been there longer. Ocd takes your anxiety as its advantage and holds it against you. That’s what my therapist told me. And you’re not a sociopath. I had (sometimes still have) the same thoughts that I might hurt someone I love. My therapist always tells me that I should tell myself that the ocd is talking rn, not myself. You have obsessive thoughts and actions just like me, look out for a therapist because of mine I’ve overcome a lot of my ocd 🌹🌻

So i am almost 100% certain its not Ocd, and im not going to say it is because i am not going to self diagnose, but i have “rules“ i have to abide by in my head. I have my bedtime rules; i have to turn off my light and when i do i have to run to my bed, close my eyes, and count from 10 to 1 four times, then look at my closet and vent 4 times unless I have the feeling that I will get killed in my sleep. I also have a thing where I simply cannot STAND the thought of wearing clothes someone else has worn that I don’t know. It makes me feel disgusted, and it makes me freak out. I have thoughts that pop into my head that show me really scary visuals, and say things like “ What if we just got into a car crash and drove into the ocean right now?” And then I won’t be able to stop looking out the window constantly to make sure it doesn’t happen. It doesn’t happen all the time and it’s not consistent, but sometimes I get things where I have to do something repeatedly until it feels 100% correct, or else I’ll end up feeling really disturbed, and on the verge of breaking down. Just an overall horrible feeling. I’m not sure why this happens to me or why I do these things. I don’t think I have OCD, but then again I could be wrong. I do have BPD, but I don’t think this has anything to do with that considering none of the symptoms are on that diagnosis? If anyone could give insight on this, or have any recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated, thank you! :>

i love you. thank you so much for sharing this. i let OCD control my life for 2 years and can relate to a lot of this video. it’s not something that’s easy to talk about because everyone so casually claims to have OCD... because they like to keep things tidy. everything changed one day when i read an article saying something along the lines of “because you have OCD you are probably the least likely person to make that bad thing happen” and i challenged myself over time to trust myself and stop checking checking checking. when i came back home my door was always locked because of course i locked it the first time. of course i didn’t leave anything plugged in that would set fire to the house. of course i didn’t put my cat in the washing machine. of course i’m not going to hurt myself or someone else if i don’t do a specific thing. i’d like to point out my mental health issues were also made severe when i went on a specific contraceptive pill called “yasmin” and once i came off them i was able to start the recovery. i no longer identify as someone that is mentally ill. sometimes things come back but i fight them and i remind myself to trust myself 🙏🏼❤️

[@Amanda-mt2hx]

When people use ocd in a joking matter and makes it smaller than it really is, it makes me want to scream at everyone who jokes about it asking them do you want to have to think about breathing about the numbers you see everywhere and if they're even or not, do you want to have to organize everything you see in ROYGBIV and then especially with food and candies like m&ms and skittles you have to line them in that color order downwards and how many of each color you line them next to the same color side ways and if you dare see a symbol or a misshaped on you have to also put them in the most perfect to least perfect in every side ways color order, then you start on your right side of your mouth and take first candy that protrudes from the others and go down switching with each candy to the left and then right and then left side of your mouth & chew exactly 8 times until you have perfect rows that match up and you follow the rows down still alternating each side of the mouth per candy.etc

I also didn't have anymore words to write with for the initial comment to describe it better and not make it seem like it's aimed towards you, I am still sorry, I don't like upsetting people and the last thing I wanted to do was upset you. Thank you for making this and all the videos you have made in general I've watched them a lot and love them all :)

OCD sucks I used to have such a hard time with it. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t put on my seatbelt, my hands where red and I had to go to hospital but believe me it gets better and the process sucks I won’t lie. You need someone to help you and restrain you a little. Honestly it’s scary but now I can close a door once I can put my seatbelt on I can wash my hands only when necessary. I still struggle a little but a trust me it’s way worse than it used to be. Stay strong I know you can get through this.

Hi! I've seeked help couple years ago, now I'm on medicine, but can proudly say, OCD free. Anyone reading this, don't be scared, nothing is the end of the world, whatever is going on in your life, stay strong. You're not lost, you're not insane. Everything can be normal again. Don't feel ashamed of your condition, you would be surprised, how many people have it. If no one has told you today, I love you. You can do this!

Thank you for making this video, this was so well explained. I struggle with OCD and I have done for as long as I can remember. It can get so bad that I can't even write a single word for my homework, it takes me 3 minutes to leave the bathroom or I will spend hours of my day touching an object so that it feels 'just right'. It really annoys me when people say 'oh I used to have ocd where my room had to be tidy all the time'. It is not just being tidy, it is so much more than that.

i’ve heard of ocd being similar to tic disorders and i will say that the feeling of “do it or else” is something i definitely experience with a persistent tic disorder.

[@hazra.444]

I'm confused I thought I have mild version of ocd But now this tic disorders I've seen similarities of ocd in myself Sometimes it's annoying Like I have my own rituals, It's like I'm bound to do it I also made a ritual that whenever I climb stairs,I would skip a stair If I don't do that, it would bother me all day And I would say to myself "If you don't touch that wall, everyone will start hating you" After laying down in bed, If I see the curtains are open just a little that isn't a big matter, My brain would say " get up and fix that curtain or else you won't sleep for 2 days" 😭

[@chaytonhurlow840]

@@hazra.444 this doesn’t sound like OCD, I think your brain is just playing tricks on you. OCD is way worse than just annoyances and strange rituals. Also it’s evident in a controlled environment. Try not to think too much about ocd and tics. It’s easy to convince yourself you have something when you don’t. Also try to limit your stress.

[@whitefamily2228]

okay when she said i have to touch things until it feels just right … i’m so happy i’m not alone. when i hit a wall or a part of a chair/table, i always turn on my other side and hit it again so i can feel “even”. or if something feels weird i press my pinky really hard. :)

“Giving in is so much easier.” This. There’s days I can fight off my urges but other days I feel like I have to go through with them or awful things will happen. I can’t stop the numbers that I have to apply to everything in my life, and by the end of the day I’m so mentally drained and my head feels so full of intrusive thoughts about patterns. It’s not tidying up messes all the time. Sometimes my patterns are so overwhelming that I can’t bring myself to clean *anything.* This is the most accurate description of what it’s like.

It’s nice to know that other people feel the exact same way as me. I can relate to almost every single point in this video, I’m not diagnosed with ocd but I sometimes suspect I have it. I’m not going to just diagnose myself like basically everyone in my classes do, even though they don’t even know the real meaning of ocd.

[@ale__jackson]

"If you sleep with your face up, someone will kill you with a pillow". "Don't see that much this knife or you might kill yourself". "Checkout out the windows and doors are closed. Maybe someone can come in and hurt you or your family". Three of all my intrusive thoughts. Just yesterday my therapist said that I might have OCD. I mean, this thoughts were there almost all my life and I didn't even notice.

[@tstochuj]

W końcu jakiś materiał, który trochę dogłębniej opisuje temat. Z OCD borykam od wczesnego gimnazjum (mam 25 lat) i czasami mam ochotę wszystko jebnąć i rzucić się pod pociąg. Moje rytuały z czasem stają się coraz bardziej wymyślne i złożone - co jakiś czas osiągają "punkt krytyczny" i są tak popierdolone, że sam zaczynam się w nich gubić. Wtedy obmyślam nowy rytuał dotyczący tego samego przedmiotu/czynności i wszystko zaczyna się od nowa. Zabawne są też te pułapki myślowe: "dobra, koniec z OCD. Teraz nie sprawdzam już w trzech seriach po cztery razy tylko w dwóch po raz". I tak zawsze kończy się powrotem do punktu wyjścia. Mam też coś takiego, że w trakcie sprawdzania zdarza mi się zwątpić czy oby na pewno wszystko idzie z planem rytuału - wtedy muszę powtórzyć cały rytuał na czysto żeby "zresetować" progress i dopiero wtedy mogę od nowa zacząć faktyczny rytuał. Dosyć często zdarza się, że podczas drugiego sprawdzania "zwątpiewam" i wtedy zaczyna się jazda - zaczynam w głowie mnożyć przez siebie ilość rytuałów i przez 15 minut stoję jak debil nad jakimś przedmiotem dotykając/przesuwając go z jednej strony na drugą. Kiedyś generalnie z dnia na dzień zmieniała mi się ilość powtórzeń pojedynczego "segmentu" rytuału - było to po trzy albo po cztery razy, czasem po dwa. Teraz ustabilizowało się na czterech i dwóch - często naprzemiennie, mieszając oba te warianty w trakcie jednego rytuału. Może przytoczę rytuał który w zasadzie opanowałem do perfekcji: sprawdzanie drzwi. Po wejściu do domu przekręcam kluczyk, przechodzę do pokoju i zostawiam swoje rzeczy. Wracam do drzwi i przekręcam raz kluczyk, żeby sprawdzić czy faktycznie je zamknąłem. Cofam klucz do idealnie pionowej pozycji, po czym przekręcam go dwa razy - to "kluczowa" część rytuału (sprawdzenie czy FAKTYCZNIE są zamknięte). Następnie kolejne dwa razy jako ostateczne sprawdzenie i w końcu ustawienie klucza w idealnie pionowej pozycji. Spojrzenie na wizjer, spojrzenie na klamkę, spojrzenie na wizjer i spojrzenie na klucz. Jeśli nie jest w idealnie pionowej pozycji, otwieram drzwi, wychodzę na klatkę, wracam i wszystko od nowa - tym razem powtarzam cały rytuał dwa razy. Jeśli klucz był w idealnie pionowej pozycji, to spoko - ale nie mogę na niego patrzeć dłużej niż przez króciutką chwilkę. Inaczej zostaje mi w głowie uczucie niepewności i niezakończenia rytuału. Jeśli w takim momencie odejdę od drzwi i zacznę robić coś innego, po kilku minutach wróci niepokój dotyczący klucza i sparaliżuje cokolwiek w tym momencie robiłem. A, i BROŃ BOŻE po zakończeniu rytuału próbować myśleć o nim i analizować go, próbować sobie przypomnieć czy faktycznie został krok po kroku prawidłowo wykonany. To ZAWSZE kończy się zwątpieniem i potrzebą robienia wszystkiego od nowa. Gwoli ścisłości, nie byłem jeszcze u lekarza. W sumie nie wiem dlaczego - chyba boję się sytuacji, w której okazuje się, że nie jest w stanie mi pomóc i muszę do końca życia użerać się z tą okropną, OKROPNĄ chorobą.

[@TheMarshalll7]

Witaj w klubie, poszedles z tym do lekarza? Ja zwlekam pare ladnych lat ale w koncu chyba sie wezme za to bo tak jak Ty mam juz dosc..

[@bk-qd3hr]

No dobra, ale po co sprawdzać kolejny raz, jak raz sprawdziłeś to znaczy że już jest dobrze.

[@tstochuj]

Dobrze wiem, że to co robię jest bez sensu - niestety mój mózg już nie. Jeśli nie zakończę rytuału, będzie za mną chodzić uczucie niepokoju i nie będę mógł się skupić na niczym innym. Pewnie gdybym odczekał wystarczająco długo, zapomniałbym o tym. Tak się jednak składa, że zazwyczaj mam tonę innych rzeczy do zrobienia i brak czasu na swawolne czekanie. Dla świętego spokoju zajmuję się więc rytuałem. To takie błędne koło.

[@salometoy7855]

Człowieku, idź do lekarza. Jeślo teraz nie dajesz sobie rady, to uwierz, nie będzie jaśniej, ani prościej, choroba będzie się pogłębiać, a Ty będziesz się modlić o śmierć. Nawet jeśli nie wyleczysz się całkowicie, zauważysz znaczny postęp, ale nie wolno się poddawać !

[@agatajanke1276]

tstochuj To jest straszne, czuję się dokładnie tak samo jak ty, tylko ze moje rytuały są inne. Mam 18 lat, zaczęło sie to kilka lat temu wiec bardzo szybko, mniej więcej jak u Ciebie. To co robię jak dla mnie tak idiotyczne, że jest mi wstyd o tym komukolwiek mówić! Ale chyba muszę, bo tego się już nie da wytrzymać, tylko jak specjalista może mi z tym pomóc?

[@amaliestyles7536]

I myself is pretty sure that I have OCD. Examples: -When I walk in public, I can’t touch the littles gaps between the concrete. -When I walk up the stairs, I have to count to 3, and repeat it until I am at the top. -When I am sitting in a chair, I have to fidget my foot in a triangle 7 times before I can relax. (If I am talking to someone, I don’t stop till the conversation is over. -when I’m listening to music, and have to stop it for some reason, I have to stop at a point where they take a pause (I cant stop in the middle of them singing a sentence). -when sitting someone I cant reactance the floor, I have to count to 7 until I can get off. -when walking across the street, I have to touch the pole 7 times. -when laying down in my bed, with my knees up.

[@m.h.2824]

I have diagnosed OCD, and everything your saying is relatable on such a fundamental level. If what you are experiencing is having a major impact on your life or even if your just curious if you might have it TALK TO A DOCTOR. As for being conerned- well it depends on the person. I have often suffered the downward spirals depicted in the vid, and I learned what was particularly triggering and avoid it. I've also learned to accept it as a part of me- in many ways this was made easier by my upbringing bc my dad also has it, but there was definitely some pain and self growth to get where I am now. I hope this helps and enlightens you (and that the double spaces after sentences are not triggering 🤷) 😊

[@amaliestyles7536]

Maggie H. thank you very much. I really appreciate it☺️
