A remarkably intimate and moving film that offers an insight into the extreme Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Hugh is trapped in a world of endless order and repetition, where each day is spent with the same ritual placing of objects and counting in 12s. His condition places a huge strain on Hugh and his family. With the help of a leading psychiatric authority on OCD, Hugh is challenged to face the fears and anxieties that fuel his compulsive behaviour.

I worked with Hughie for nearly 16yrs with British Rail, he wasn't just a workmate we were good buddies, drinking partners, we would go to the local pub on a Friday night and see some country & western bands then finish off with a meal. In all the years working with my mate I have to be honest I never thought there was anything wrong with him although sometimes when we were doing jobs he liked to speed the job up and now after seeing this video it seems that what he was trying to do was get the repair job done on the track before the train was due in both protecting the train/passengers plus us his workmates, at the time we thought nothing of it but it must have been his OCD coming through. As mentioned Hughie was and still is and will always be a great mate of mine even though I'm on the other side of the world in Australia and seeing this video upset me to see what he is going through. I know this is an old video but I hope my buddy has now got the help needed and is on the road to recovery. Hughie if you read this I would be made up to hear from you on how you are going. Your old buddy Tony

same, i have it as well, but not as bad as a lot of cases. i repeat questions over and over, hold objects for a certain amount of time to evade 'certain doom', stuff like that, but i think the reason people trivialise it is because, in conversation, the term OCD is often used to describe a symptom of wanting something to be perfect. its used as a comparison and, eventually the condition and the light description get blended together so people find it hard to distinguish between whats legitimate and not.

There's a popular Brazilian actress named Luciana Vendramini, she is known for having to quit acting to deal with her severe OCD. She was way worse than this man. She would take 10 hour long showers, in her darkest period, she was weighing 36kg because she says that waking up, eating whatever, taking a shower and going back to sleep would take an entire day so she stopped eating altogether. And she also tells about this day when she went out after a friend begging her to come out of the house.. she was stuck on the sidewalk for like 16 hours trying to go back inside her apartment but couldn't because the rituals were so demanding. Like counting taxi cabs that were passing by and starting all over again if she heard a honk. And going back and forth below electric wire like a gazillion times. Back then ocd wasn't really talked about much but when this last episode happened their parents finally took her to the doctor and she was diagnosed and she's pretty mu h doing pretty well theses days. She even has a podcast. But she was way worse than this guy.

@@Lex_112 You actually don’t stop them! You just accept them as thoughts - nothing more nothing less. They’ve already happened (nothing you can do about that) so the point is to return to your breath and cultivate awareness. It’s the same process for any thoughts that may pop up, intrusive/very emotionally charged or no. I like to occasionally use a mantra I learn from a great teacher called thich nhat hanh - “Breathing in - I know I’m breathing in, Breathing out - I know I’m breathing out.” It’s very grounding and helps me to understand that there is something so “real” about the visceral, steady experience of my breath, my thoughts are a bit more abstract and less essential.

At first when I tried ignoring the urges it hurt me like the pain was actually physical (and sometimes it was, especially in the chest). But the more I tried the less painful it became. Eventually I just got rid of it completely. I still get the urges from time to time (once a month maybe) but nothing happens when I just ignore them now.

My father started suffering with OCD & health anxiety about 5 years ago - came straight outta the blue. He used to wash his hands upwards of 80 times a day, would 'self-diagnose' food as 'gone off' and throw 90% of his meals away. Became borderline unbearable for my mild-mannered mother. He would boil the kettle four times just to make one cup of tea. One day, about a year ago whilst taking his car for an MOT he slipped on a patch of ice and smashed his hip and due to his inability to walk during the healing process his symptoms just disappeared as quickly as they appeared. It's like his mind had something new to focus on. The brain is such a complex organ!! I hope Hugh is in a better place with his health these days 🙏

@SomethingWet 10 ай бұрын

Has your father had his blood checked thoroughly? Not just very basic blood tests, something more detailed. And neurologic tests. OCD symptoms can come up with physical illnesses, like neurological and autoimmune illnesses. When it's not physical it often arises from a traumatic event. But there's actually a lot of people who get diagnosed with a mental illness, who actually have an underlying physical illness that manifests in these ways, ocd, anxiety, sometimes even psychosis and hallucinations, personality changes, etc. When it's physical, it's often treatable and the mental symptoms will go away once the illness is kept in check. I'm saying that especially since for your father it's come up this late in life and seemingly out of nowhere, unless he went through some traumatic event around that time. With physical causes, these flare ups can come on with something as simple as a bacterial/viral infection, strep throat, anything triggering the physical autoimmune illness or similar

He doesn't have strength of mind that's why he has OCD, he doesn't have the mental strength to confront his own scary irrational thoughts so they take over him. The key word is 'scary', fear is his driving force, he keeps saying something bad will happen if he doesn't do his rituals, so he's scared and that's what's at the bottom of it. This is a weakling, and it only carries on because people are SUPPORTIVE, just like you. That's why we need compulsory military service, they don't give you time for being feeble and teary faced, you get it rough from the Sargent until you toughen up. 🤬

Someone I knew that suffered with severe OCD presented very few behaviours when we knew them initially, they became more and more apparent as they became comfortable around us. We went on holiday and the same thing happened it started relatively ok but then it got progressively worse over the two week period. They had to wear and travel home in the same clothes they wore on the outbound journey.

This documentary was eye opening for me, i suffer with this same OCD and felt like i was the only person in the world experiencing it, especially the thoughts of dread, if i dont count to a certain number or do something a certain way a terrible thing will happen to me or my family, making noises a specific amount of times, touching things, body movements, almost everything you can think of. It can be genuinely exhausting and can cause depression and worsen your anxiety even more, and it may even sound/look completely ridiculous to somebody who doesnt understand and or experience it to this extent but it is a horrible thing to have to live with, it destroyed my social life, stopped me from working, ruined relationships etc... But if anyone reading this is currently suffering, just know, im alot better now and very rarely experience it and if i do its only minor things like having to have the tv volume on a certain number and so on, so dont despair too much because you really can get better with time, you just need to allow yourself to understand that nothing bad will come from not doing the thing that satisfies your OCD.

It's strange how psychologists usually want to take a surface level approach of attacking the obsessions and not addressing the fundamental root trauma that drives OCD. As someone who has recovered from OCD; I can say it was 100% a coping mechanism for dealing the abuse of my childhood and the incredible feelings of insecurity of being raised in severely a dysfunctional home. Once I was able to come to terms with the trauma, the OCD just evaporated.

Its a terrible affliction, I believe OCD is created by trauma of some sort, mine was created when someone else took control of my life & i had no say about it. I was also crown ward of the Catholic Children's Aid Society at the time my control was taken away from me. I wasn't allowed to be myself ever & that led to a life of crime & violence as a way of say **** *** to those who took that control away. With these videos, I came to realize I had OCD where I didn't see it before so I am truly grateful for this video & ones like it & the people who share it & I can see myself in each person who makes a video of this nature.

This statement, "I'm two people, I'm trapped in my own world," is such an accurate representation to OCD for me. For people who struggle to cope with it (myself included) you are often 100% completely aware of how batshit you look ALL the time. You know that it's ridiculous and it's wasting time and it's destroying you-- but it wouldn't hurt to just continue the routine? Because if you stop, something bad could happen. Because nothing bad happened so long as you did that routine. You validate yourself, the compulsions quell the anxiety; even for a moment. You become trapped in this viscous cycle of insanity that FEELS so logical and rational at that point, after all, it's for yours and your family's safety; and you can't escape it.

Thats true, at the same time, that also reads like a show of defiance. Like, "You can try all you want to help me, but I refuse to accept it" It doesn't matter how hard you try to help someone, if they themselves refuse to work on it. The only way you can be "cured" or get control of things, weather that's OCD, drug/alcohol addiction, etc, is for the person to want to get better. If they keep giving into their compulsions, it doesn't matter what you try to do, you will fail, because they're not ready. Seems to me like he's become so lost in his thoughts, that he's convinced himself he'll never get better. If you believe you'll never get better, then you won't. Its just that simple. The treatment portion isn't, its a long road, but its a road you need to be on together. If he's not on the same path, he'll make sure he always fails.

I had debilitating OCD as a child. I would be up until 1 AM on school nights trying to finish my rituals perfectly, literally crying because I couldn't get it "right" and go to sleep. It plagued me into adolescents as well. When I was 16 I started experimenting with mushrooms, and one of these times after taking a larger dose, I started an OCD ritual with a light switch while under their effects. it suddenly hit me how futile it was to think I had any power over this world to effect change on it in any sort of intentional way, and I started laughing out loud. I always understood how ridiculous these habits and rituals were before this experience, but that day it hit me on the deepest level and changed me to my core. Aside from the occasional left over neural pathway impulse that causes me to turn a light switch off or on a second times or re lock a door a second time, I am no longer affected by this disorder today.

I was diagnosed with OCD and hypercondria very early on in my life. This is so relatable and sad. It's an awful illness to live with and very difficult for people who don't have it to understand. Please don't say you have OCD unless you've been diagnosed with it and are being treated for it. Being tidy or colour coding is not OCD.

I think its degrees. I used to do counting rituals when I was in early teens. I realized it was senseless and counterproductive and was able to just stop. Apparently these guys are much more deeply compulsed. Frightening.

@Ivan But much better than this. Much. The shame about mild OCD is that it usually gets worse if not countered. By the time it gets this bad it's very difficult to treat.

My heart broke when I heard him say he's got to do things 12 times or 12x12 times. I have OCD too and I have to do things either 3 times or 3x3. The worst thing was when I kept having to wash my hands 3x3 over and over again until I'd done it 3x3x3x3... It literally went on until I got to 81 and then I had a panic attack over the fact that it added up to 81 and so I had to either chose to do it again for the 82nd time and ruin my 3s or leave it and panic over the odd number. I honestly don't know why 3 and 9 don't upset me but I hate seeing the numbers, it's just when I do the actions 3 times I don't think about the number three... It's really confusing. My OCD can really control my life. When I'm walking outside I have to make sure that my feet "feel symmetrical". It's just awful and embarrassing when you have to stop in the middle of a busy street to walk over the same pavement slab because your left foot walked on it twice while the right foot only went on it once.

@alanizquierdo6783 7 жыл бұрын

Shannon Briggs I know know you feel. I feel like OCD Is something that grows and you have to stop before you get like the guy in this video. I used to walk over certain slabs and make sure my left and right foot would both walk over an equal number of cracks. I had a super neat room and all but It got to a point that any little disorder would irritate me so I decided to try my best to stop caring. it still itches me but I'm getting better.

I have the same number with my OCD. 3 3's is what I am up to now. So 9's...or 27's. 3 9's. I cant even lock my door at night anymore. My son has to do it. Bless his heart for helping me.

@wkcyrokin122 7 жыл бұрын

My OCD used to be in multiples of four. Everything for me had to be in fours. Twelve sounds nightmarish, for me because it's only three fours instead of four fours. That would have driven me crazy as a kid. x.x I also had an obsession of symmetry of sound, similar to what you describe with your feet. Every sound had to go evenly into each ear, and if one ear didn't hear a sound clearly, I had to make it again into the other ear, and if it didn't sound exactly the same it drove me to insanity. This one still bothers me today, to a lesser degree, whereas the fours have been worked out. My OCD has been reduced now to a series of minor tics that keep my mind off of my obsessions. But when I was a kid, it was like a living hell.

It can happen to anyone too. Like, watch, once it get in your head or you are exposed to it, you may feel the need to start doing some rituals because it is like a virus, bad stuff could start happening if you dont start doing it yourself after watching this.

His wife is incredible, he's a very lucky man to find a woman who's still standing next to him. I suffer with ptsd and aspergers which is an awful combination and I've lost pretty much everyone because I can't go out and enjoy myself because I'm constantly watching the exits and reading the room and can't relax unless I'm in a familiar place which doesn't work when I miss birthdays and weddings and in some cases funerals which does effect the people in your life so to have someone who has put up all of that and still loves him and looks after him is really beautiful

My heart breaks for this guy. You can see how truly desperate he is. The poor guy literally has no life. His family are so patient with him too. Bless him, i hope he got the help he desperately needed. Also, im not actually sure when this was filmed but their house decor looked late 80's to 90's maybe? Could be wrong but just looks like its quite an old video.
