Find someone you trust outside of family to talk about it. It's important. There's no cure other than submergent therapy so the fact that you are willing to talk about it says a loyal of good things about your self awareness and strength.

[@robbinschinkel8480]

Imagine Nate growing into a more stable dude after a few years. Going to therapy, gaining more wealth, makes it possible to slow done a bit which gives him the opportunity to get into a better place mentally. More writing, more experimenting with his sound. Hope he pulls through, and can bare the suffering. 'To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering'

[@jdc4316]

[@lindsaycook7545]

His explanation of OCD is on point! The control thing is really difficult. My biggest issue was not being allowed to talk with people about stuff that I was going through because that was my ritual and if I didn't talk about it, then I just freaked out, but the more I did the more I felt like I wasn't normal and the more I would convince myself that I was a terrible person because most of the obsessions in OCD aren't normal, so when my therapist told me I wasn't allowed to talk with others about my depressive thoughts I about blew up because I felt like she was just controlling me. Yet when I stopped reporting every single thing that came up in my head and stopped seeking approval from others I was less anxious.

The reason I loved NF when I first heard him on the song The Search is because he's the first rapper who I heard talking about OCD. I have been diagnosed with OCD and I always felt like noone understands me and I couldn't find artists that talk about that thing and Nate completely changed that. I finally found a rapper that I love their music, their style and I can deeply relate to a lot of things they rap about.

[@sunnythekitkat2651]

I have OCD that started really attacking a couple of years ago. The subject of them is something I can only talk about with a few people, including therapists, but it sucks. It's nice having an artist talk about it in a real way and not the whole "I like things to be orderly and perfect" and that's all which isn't really all OCD is

I have the same exact thing with my OCD. I guilt myself for "lying," even if it isn't a deceitful lie, but more of a mistake. Like if I tell someone what time I showed up to a party, I would have to tell them as close as possible to the actual time as I can. If I showed up at 8:53 instead of 9:00, I'll have to say "ABOUT 9:00, maybe a little before. I think around 8:50-8:53." I can't just round up without mentioning it.

I've had OCD since I was 7, and I am 17 now. I didn't know until I was fourteen. I relate so much to him. I never feel good enough. I feel like I have to be better. It drives me, but it's unrealistic. Because then when I do not meet "perfection," it just feels even worse. I am 7 months behind in school right now due to my OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. It is sooo soo hard. I feel like my future is ruined and there is no way to come back from this. I haven't felt happy for 3 years- or even more than that. I feel numb, and hopeless.

Dude, NF you are so authentic and real, I love that. I feel so much like you do and alotta people don't understand it. Thanks for.talking about and bringing up depression and anxiety issues. Makes others feel less alone dealing with it, knowing were not the only ones dealing with it.

[@cityandgirl]

I didn’t think this interviewer was bad, he ended up really opening up about his ocd towards the end so obviously he wasn’t uncomfortable. Just my opinion though.

[@benjaminlamptey1867]

he's open to everyone, there's much deeper stuff than this in his music...

[@daymanfighterofthenightman]

I completely agree. I think people are too hostile over her being caught off guard that he finds inspiration to write in a small confined place. It shocked me too. That shits interesting, a lot of people don't do that. It's inspirational creatively, and I think anyone would get caught off guard if they weren't too familiar with his music.

[@benjaminlamptey1867]

@@daymanfighterofthenightman actually, for many of us that's normal. It's not something that was introduced to us by Nate's music. I find it rather surprising that anyone would be caught off guard by it.

[@daymanfighterofthenightman]

@@benjaminlamptey1867 The press isn't gonna listen to your whole album ever no matter who you are. The interviewer sure as hell isn't going to listen to the whole thing. Do you know how many rappers press have to interview?

Lol this guy lived 15 minutes from me. My estimator from my body shop went to school with him. My stepdaughter listens to his music. Usually music comes from Detroit in Michigan. It’s not in the middle of Michigan. I’m happy for this guy.

[@XxSakurafairy24xX]

I hate when interviewers cant get more creative with the questions they ask. You can tell he's sick of answering the same questions when theres soooo many things people could ask this man!

[@TheJabberWockyy]

I feel like Nate might be alot of things but materialistic isn't one of them. He's not going to be happy till he's done telling his story. His records are a story about a journey threw life in an intense analytical perspective.

[@emyf9197]

Love that he’s talking about ocd. Especially pure O with intrusive thoughts and obsessive rituals that aren’t physical in nature like washing hands or counting and locking doors over and over. He’s amazing for bringing light to this side of the mental health community ❤️ thank you Nf

[@LonewolfJesseJames506]

NF is a GOAT 🐐 🙌 there's not too many rappers or artists in general on his level, period. As someone who struggles with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD, NF is one of the few I can relate to. His music actually helps me far more than any therapy session, I'm sure a lot of people out there agree with me.

Man he makes me feel like im not the only one on how thought process goes into writing and the motivation part. Upsetting hearing her laugh when he said he wrote in the closet. I have been for years, something about be alone in a dark place with my thoughts is comforting, no judgment, makes us feel at home in a weird way. This dude is an inspiration!

Please, please, please, write a book about your struggles with OCD. As hard as it would be to do and how uncomfortable it would make you, I really think this is so needed. First artist to actually, GET IT. All of us with OCD would love for people to understand it better and not feel like such a freak to society. It would help so many people.

I just came across this artist a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to all his music. Can't stop listening to it!! I watched the whole interview in it’s entirety. It's the first ever interview of his that I’ve seen. I love how open he is, down to earth, he's extremely humble, and I can definitely relate to him on many levels. The guy is very talented, lyrically gifted and he's not full of himself and is extremely REAL. He's like someone you can hang with and shoot the shit with and I love that about him. Will definitely recommend his music to others! Keep keeping it real NF!
