I suffered from OCD for a long time, it was the hell, my life used to be a nightmare... I study microbiology, the first years I had to deal with both my career and that filthy condition... But don't you dare to give up!! If I overcame this, of course YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Now I'm a new person, I'm happy and an outstanding student...

i have ocd its hard its a waste i dont know what i do with my life sometimes

You are not alone.

It happened to me too. My OCD came on suddenly on the night of Nov 9, 1991. Along with OCD came vicious battles with deep, deep depression. It was the most evil thing that could ever happen to a person. I lost my twenties, completely, and most of my thirties. I finally found some healing just by forcing myself into social situations. I took up acting for awhile, and dancing. Did some stand up comedy. I'm much better off now, but I lost twenty years of my life. I decided to remain a bachelor because I would never want to drag someone through my ocd. There's hope. Just remember others have battled the same demons. Madonna, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, all had either OCD, manic depression, or both.

My ocd comes and goes. I had it when I was 12, and I suffered a lot, which was empowered by my moms declining health etc. It got better when I was 13/14 but it still had ups and downs, still I pulled through and hang out with friends, had fun, I had really happy times because I refused to let some "noise" in my brain ruin my life! When I was 15 the nightmare began again, it got better when I was 17 but in my late 18s it got back argh! Now I'm still 18 and having ups and downs, but I guess I find happy moments now and then, I really do, I go out with friends and I never give up, I have lots of fun and I'm always smiling even if I'm dying on the inside!!!

its crazy how random my obsessions can become.. i never know whats next. Still trying to do everything i would do if i didnt have ocd ^^ but yeah... not that easy sometimes

Yes. I have OCD too and it ruined my early life. I couldn't stop organizing things including the files on my computer! I stress about school and couldn't get homework done because I was too anxious. I am glad to see many others like us who are here to share thoughts. I hope everyone can overcome OCD. Keep on with our efforts.

OCD has affected my going out as well and social life.. but hopefully I can get dramatically better next year or later this year when I finish all my to-do OCD activities. Hope everybody with OCD can lead more normal lives.. Don't lose hope! We all can do it!

everything you said is relatable i always go m.i.a with no sign , i want friends but i isolate myself a little too much :3

Thank you for sharing your experience.❤ This helped me, knowing that I'm not alone in my OCD struggle.

oh my gosh I can 100% relate with everything you said. Thanks for sharing this.

My worst period for OCD that ruined me was in 2017 but I didn’t know I had it, if only I watched this video then, maybe I wouldn’t have ruined it :((

This is so relatable 😢😢😢

I soo feel your pain.. You're not alone.

You're so cute ...lol. Well I've been dealing with ocd as well as Misophonia (hatred of noise)for about about 2 years now and I feel it's getting worse. The intrusive thoughts, and the crazy thought that people can feel...what I'm thinking, are driving me insane. And it is impossible to control, no matter what I do. Even if I sit down to watch a movie or try to think of something else. Nothing works. 😞

i feel like I went through this too... but I just got diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, I think I had ocd too... but I feel like I'm living a better life now.

I'm still waiting my time with ocd 😔😔

Great video, very relatable. I have to say you resemble the actress Naomi Watts

You're basically the female version of me, the whole school thing is exactly how it played out for me

I developed OCD when I had an eating disorder. It’s ruined my life in ways i didn’t notice until recently. I hope I can beat this.

can a person totally get rid of ocd?

yes years are wasted, and they are not going by without the pain involved with OCD, but yet you probably have become a far better person then most human beings, and you'r ocd brought you to this, even though in some cases it doesn't worth it, it open our eyes to something that people never notice in their lifes, and that indifference, which is probably the main reasons to every major evil this days, the movie "Experimenter" that featuring stanley milgram social experiment in order to understand how human beings could have done what they did in nazi germany and still live an ordinary lives with families, "The agentic personality", which basicly comes also for social behavior that can cause indifference, you don't seem to be that person since you are trying to help people, trying to be supportive and understanding, and I bet you know right or wrong better then most when you see it or feel it, I know it doesn't seem like much, but at least it's some form comfort, that what I remind myself when I think of everything I've lost, and when I see people who were in school with me and are far more successful but then I see how they behave with themselves and other human beings and how the agnetic personality is probably deep within them even though it's just mean their normal because sadly this days the common person is probably not the good person for so many reasons that have been researched in social psychology and in alot ethical questions, he is the person who work and does things for his own benefit and pleasure without asking the questions that needed to be asked and just ignoring stuff that he is doing that are wrong just because asking himself "is what i'm doing right from an objective prespective?" give him an headache and he really don't care since he is not the one who is going to lose something in the matter in question, taking the easy path for his own benefit and the hell with the rest "don't ask me any complicated questions and leave me be" , the person who chase after more and more luxuries and that's all he care about when someone sign his paycheck, and when I see it in other human beings successful or not, I say thank you god that i'm not that person, even though relatively he is not an "evil person", just normal, stay strong and most importently stay good Zhenya.
