Thank you for your channel and work. Even 99% of doctors around here are like "What is OCPD?!" Your videos are great and you clearly work hard on yourself. Much respect to you bud.

[@OCPD_support]

Hi PsychoNinjaFlea, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I always appreciate the feedback and I'm really glad you're enjoying the content. I'm editing a new video right now and hoping to have it out for Friday (Monday at the latest). I hope you enjoy the latest upload.

Wow, thanks so much for recommending my channel. Also I'm finding it really interesting that people are able to watch this specific video. I haven't promoted it because it has a copyright claim on it and nobody is supposed to be able to view this yet. Obviously it must be available in certain countries.

😂 I think I really need to go back and see my psychologist. He gave me tasks to perform to diminish my behaviors but when I saw that jacket the waiter was going to give him, I literally screamed...like i prefer to go back home and eat something from my fridge and call it a night. Ain't no way i could ever🤦‍♀️. I may not be the neatest there is as there are different levels/severity of it. Esp. if im depressed i get to be somewhat lackadaisical to even pic up my study notes from my bed. But it doesn't mean it doesnt bother me. I would probably go to my cousin's room just to try and diminish the thoughts of it. But if i can't, i have to clean it. But it is hard to do so, when all you want to do is craddle up in bed. I may not have a problem with what i have because it just seems like what needs to be done and i also like being alone to avoid problems, but i am willing to try because it is affecting others around me.

[@OCPD_support]

RCPMusic I'm glad you're willing to try. Although you may think it's for those around you, if you do succeed it will lead to a much happier life. I understand the 'levels" thing as well. It's interesting that at times, others think they are part-time therapists and try and deduce things from how we treat our environment. But depression is powerful. So powerful that it can sometimes supersede even our own symptoms.

[@massageattack8273]

🤣😂🤣😂😒Fuck. I never put together the common thread of these movies, some of them are my favorites. I was already relating when we got to the prolonged (but beautiful!) shower exit in 'As Good As It Gets' but then the prolonged (but perfect!) bedtime ritual scene from 'Turner and Hooch' really got me! (Inner thought: how has anyone ever lived with me?!?! - oh, yeah, right- they haven't. And I blame them! justkiddingjustkiddingjustkidding) You've sparked my childhood memories of absolutely adoring and identifying with Tom Hanks' character in that movie, which just startled me into realizing - this is not something that has been going on in my life for a long time, this is me, this is who I am and who I always have been. I don't know what to do with that information, but I have it now! I guess, just be easier with myself as I continue to navigate my way through life. I found your videos because I thought I was doing okay, then - enter a close relationship with someone I care about - and I heard you mention it before, my obsessive-compulsive behaviors (I don't like the word disorder, though it fits my thinking perfectly) became inflamed. I am tired of starting over, over and over again and the common denominator in my relationships is ME, so now, I am at how to improve myself in order to improve my relationships. It's nice to see I am not alone in the struggle. Thanks for the videos. I subscribed because this isn't the first one I've watched and I truly appreciate your sharing, but I just don't want to get notifications. P.S. I am also oblivious to how inconvenient my rigidity to my own cleanliness standards can be. How does one cut a shower short? How does one not put everything in it's place before going to bed or leaving the house? I don't know how to be different!

[@OCPD_support]

Massage Attack loved your comment. I don't see a lot of humor in my comments section. Thanks for giving some insight as to what you're going through and what prompted you to make some online searches for the things happening in your life. I found that information very helpful. Turner & Hooch is a classic and I felt a connection to Tom Hanks character as a kid and the movie never really left my consciousness. Although Tom Hanks rarely makes a dud in my opinion. At least back in the day anyway. No worries on the not getting notifications. I just want to make sure those that actually want to see my content are aware when there's something new. I get messages asking when I'm releasing new videos after I've just released something new and so I know that KZbin is notoriously bad at recommending the content that people actually want to see. You mention wanting to improve your relationship and also navigating your rigidity. Obviously for anyone that messages me or leaves me a comment, the first place I direct them to is a mental health professional. So many different angles that this can be tackled from. But if you'd like to try some techniques beforehand, I do have a challenge on my website that I modified and use myself with some very good results. Only really works if you keep going with it, but maybe it's worth checking out for yourself.

This is the first time I have left a comment on anything, as I have no social media pages (though I might want a Instagram soon), so it's a relief to think I chose the right audience. Thanks, I downloaded the worksheet, so now I have something to live for. (I really enjoy reading your writings, but I need to let you know- that article has a paragraph that is repeated, before and after one of Ben's quotes! Sorry!/you're welcome?)

I thought to make that one of my goals, but the stress it causes me to even think how that's possible leads me to believe that one is just not for me right now. 10 minutes!?!? (Inner thoughts too judgemental to post :/ ) Your humor and the fact that apparently we are peers, both help me relate and be receptive to the information in your videos.

@@massageattack8273 thank you so much for spotting the error in the article. I have no idea how I could have done that. But I spent forever formatting that page and somehow I copied and pasted that paragraph from my original document twice. I didn't spot it at first because they didn't have the same final sentence in the paragraph. But I'm very grateful for the opportunity to fix my mistake. My girlfriend and I were discussing my shower time the other day and we timed me and I think I was at 13 or 14 minutes. So I'm not hitting the 10 minute marker either. I'm guessing there's a lot of people walking around with some parts that aren't quite clean, haha. Glad you see some humor in my videos. I try to put some in, but it's a challenge with the seriousness of the subject matter. Thanks for watching!

[@massageattack8273]

@@OCPD_support My default money-making skill set has long been preparing legal documents, so I am almost drawn to errors in writing just to fix them. Glad you just want to fix it, too, hopefully you don't think I'm the asshole I feel like I am for pointing it out. I've shared a few of your videos with my partner and afterward I complained that he never speaks up when I take forever. He just says, yeah, he's always ready to go, but he understands that I need to do certain things to be comfortable and now I feel like he's an enabler. I mentioned for instance that I carry my own utensils and his response is, "Well, that's what you're comfortable with...". Yeah, but it makes others feel weird to be around me! So, that was the first habit I wrote down and like a knee-jerk today at lunch, I got my own bowl and fork, made a salad and sat down with the chart and took a bite and was like, ah, fuck- 'x'. Looks like this will be an excellent opportunity to be gentle with myself as I hold myself accountable for my behaviors. Thanks again for sharing tools and information!

[@OCPD_support]

@mikhoward I apologize for not having the subs. Unfortunately, KZbin and I do not have a good relationship with each other. The auto-subs they generate are not of a high enough quality for a video on mental health (too many important mistakes). On my more recent videos you will find subtitles. I was paying out of pocket for subtitles and translations for a while, hoping that donations would eventually be able to cover the costs of those. Unfortunately, that never happened either. If, in the future, I am able to afford to have accurate subtitles created, I will go back through and add them to all of my videos. Thank you for your understanding.

Kelly Evans it almost sounds like an intervention is needed. Does he have family he is close to? Are they aware of the problem? I have a video coming out this Tuesday or Wednesday (it's been a while since I've released a video), and I think the material might be helpful or at least informational. As far as what's happening in your situation, it is a highly unusual behavior. I've heard of people with OCPD not being able to enjoy films or television because they only see mistakes. But this is the first time I'm hearing about someone watching to specifically find the mistakes.

[@petelaquaglia2497]

I really wanted to watch, I had to stop at 3:12. Heres why. The lock scene is 100% OCD and not OCPD. A total of 5 clicks on the lock; 3 clicks to lock + 2 clicks to unlock. Same mannerisms as the light switch. Best of luck.

[@OCPD_support]

Pete LaQuaglia thanks for at least trying. You should note that I say that 'the first scene depicts two mannerisms that could be tied to OCPD'. I do not say that his actions in the scene are those of someone with OCPD. I'm inferring that in general someone with OCPD may be inclined to check locks multiple times and be able to rationalize it in their heads, whereas a person would not be able to do the same thing with turning lights on and off. As you point out, because he is doing things in sets of 5 this would not be a symptom of OCPD.

It’s a crazy cycle of excessive thought and rumination. I only meant to say that this is a great video except for the technical issue with the audio.

[@OCPD_support]

Chlink Ink thanks. It was a labor intensive video to put together. I had a hard time during the publishing of this video as I had filmed it shortly after becoming a KZbin partner, and I put a lot of work into this, as I was hoping to grow the channel using examples from popular entertainment that people were familiar with. Just after uploading, someone put a copyright strike on this video and then KZbin changed its policies and took me out of the KZbin partner program. Anyway, I'm glad that despite the problems surrounding the video that it continues to help people recognize what OCPD looks like.

[@chlinkink7433]

OCPD: My Life In Debris That’s crazy! I’m glad the video is here and sorry you got so much heat for it. Is there now way to become a partner again? What’s baffling to me is there are so many you tubers who get away with many violations and others who get strikes, etc for things that IMO seem unfounded or legal. I want to encourage you. These videos mean a lot to me and to others. As for the audio trouble, I have to say that I normally will not watch anything with audio out of sync but the video has such great content in it so I watched despite it. I wonder if that also means you’re helping me get out of some of my rigid opinionated ways. 😂

[@OCPD_support]

@@chlinkink7433 It's alright. I'm mostly over it by now, haha. But I did do a lot of research and determined that I was well within my 'fair use' rights to use all of the footage I chose. Three or four major studios claimed the videos. I appealed and all but one took away their claim. But if my channel was ever monetized, the ad revenue from this video would go to that studio illegally instead of me because of how broken the KZbin platform is. I could become partner again, but it's doubtful. There are two requirements and I've only met one of them. The second requirement is to have 4000 watch hours in a 12 month period. I'm around 3,900 but it's been that way for months and I can't seem to get it higher.

[@chlinkink7433]

OCPD: My Life In Debris Well that’s like a bad dream. Stuck at 3900. Dang! Well, I think it will happen. One thing’s for certain, as you likely know, it takes so much persistent work to grow a channel. And once you do it takes persistent work to keep it growing. I’ve been looking at You Tube burnout as so many with channels have experienced it and it’s all the talk this year. I think Shane Dawson shared he hadn’t taken a break in 4 years (break meaning not a single day off) so It’s good he is right now. And others shared similar situations. Well, I’m off topic now.

I want to portray the illness in a more accurate way than a lot of what Hollywood does, but there are a few questions I have. Would it be considered to you offensive if I were to cast an actor that doesn't have OCD to play the role? Or would it be offensive to you if an actor with OCD were to play if their symptoms of it were less prominent? I'm specifically looking for input from people with OCD, so if you are someone who has it, please leave me some feedback. You are loved! And beautiful. Thanks so much

LivLyfe thanks for your comment/questions. Before I answer I want to make clear that this is a channel for OCPD not OCD. Although there are some crossover symptoms, they are two very different things. In fact, most portrayals of people with OCD in film have usually been inaccurate and that's partly because they've combined the two disorders and sometimes they sprinkle in some additional elements from other disorders as well. As far as actors, they are paid to act. The idea of only people with the exact traits of the characters they are portraying is illogical and I don't understand the motivation behind it. The part should go to the best actor for the part. But if you're writing a character with OCD, I would highly recommend having a few people with OCD read through the final script to check for accuracy. Or even hire an OCD consultant. But nobody has ever gotten the disorder correct before, so if you do a good job, you'd be the first.

@@OCPD_support Thank you so much for the reply. I know that there is a distinct difference between OCPD and OCD, I just thought there would be some people in the comment section with OCD that could help me out. I have a few people in mind that could act as consultants on the script. I want it to be as truthful and accurate as possible. Thanks so much again!

@@livlyfe3272 absolutely. You are correct that many people with OCD end up in the comments sections of my videos. I hope that you get some replies to your inquiry. Best of luck with your script.

OCD and OCPD are NOT the same!! Not even close
