I have an OCD problem and it dominates my life. OCD makes me angry and I feel helpless. I’m glad you have made a video about this topic because this is definitely something that is taking place in my life.

This helped me so much! I have sexual orientation ocd and honestly before I used to see a beautiful girl and say shes pretty but I thought nothing about it and now every female I see my mind instantly thinks im attracted to them.

I appreciate you so much. I’m 16 and have struggled with intrusive thoughts ocd for years but have only been able to put a name to it for about 8 months. I can’t bring myself to tell anyone specific details yet because my thoughts embarrass and scare me & it’s not talked about a lot online either. It’s nice to hear someone talk about it openly and normally. Makes me feel less crazy lol🌈

i've had OCD since i was little, i am 30 soon. I still haven't got any therapy for it.. It was 4 years ago i was diagnosed and no one has ever really told me what ocd is all about.. So i really love this videos!!

She mentions a lot of what I go through with hocd. But I still tend to feel like I'm the exception to the rule.

God bless you Chrissie!

Thanks for this. I get this too kind of at a meta level. I’ll see something that reminds me of my OCD fixation, for a brief moment think it’s weird, then get mad at my brain and say there’s something wrong with me for seeing “signs” in everything. I don’t even really think they’re sign. I’m just worried that I think they’re signs, and that this means there’s something wrong with me beyond OCD. It’s just relieving to know that all of this is just another part of OCD and not something special.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm dealing with a relapse of my OCD right now and I keep thinking "I just want to go back to how I was two weeks ago, I was happy. I was happy two months ago. I was happy a year ago." And then, when I keep doubting and ruminating on my sexual intrusive thoughts. (Which is all I've been doing for the past week. I've barely eaten, I haven't done anthing but stare into a wall. I keep thinking that these thoughts, this time, is poof it's not OCD.) But then I try to switch that to think: "If you're scared of trusting the you of today, trust that you of two weeks ago. Trust that you of nine months ago. And if you can't trust the you of two months ago, trust the you of today."

I think of it like meeting a new person at school was for me back in high school. It felt as though before I had met the person, I may have not ever noticed them walking down the street. Yet, after meeting someone, it’s like I see them every where I turn all of a sudden. Same with our thoughts, as soon as we realize certain thoughts exist in our minds, especially when we have anxiety over them, every little thing becomes proof that those thoughts are “true” or “real”.

Thankyou Chrissie, this is the first time someone’s gone into seeing ‘signs’ everywhere ♥️

ALL FACTS!! This shit is crazy but the storm won’t last forever 🙏🏼💯

i spot rainbows all the time too!!!!!!! (I hv hocd )😂😭

It seems my mind will search out and find some obsessive thought to torture me. My harm OCD causes me the most pain, but over the course of a life time there have been many obsessions from un-necessary checking to eating something gross. The knife example demonstrates turning an inanimate object into a scary obsession. It could be most anything from a hammer to a pillow etc. Recently I have been into trying "acceptance" of my thoughts and letting them float in and out my conscious. It sort of helps but depending on my depression for the day it can be very hard to stay the course of "Acceptance" Thought's?

Omgg this is what I’ve been looking for for so long I feel so relieved and understood thank you so much!!

I wish everyone with pure-O would watch this

You inspire me so much. Stay happy n healthy!!!

i have ocd every second of the day, but it is not a specific thought, but more of an awareness that you have and notice the ocd. I can't explain it well to doctors.

Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me very much! You are like a therapist

Another excellent and helpful video!

These videos are so so useful 👏👏

Thank you for these videos

I see mine everywhere and I immediately start testing /doubting myself 🙄🙄. I have harm ocd and I can’t even enjoy scary movies like I used to without feeling triggered. Not even watch combat sports without feeling anxious. All things I used to love I now avoid like the plague.

Uh huh yes I so get this!!! Violent intrusive thoughts and I notice nearly all the killer programmes on the channels and I get with the fear of sexually my kids/killing them or other people’s kids

Thanks a lot for doing this

Your an angel

No I never noticed....this issue before..never..yes when this subject matter of this video became my obsessions..within a couple weeks or less...I immediately had pocd...I believe I emailed you..maybe it's your response to my email..thx chrissie

Hi Chrissie I love uuuuuu. Can u do a video about I-CBT pls, what do u think about it? i read it's a good alternative with people that have OCD and PTSD.

Very good!!!

yeah whenever I'm walking through streets i mind automatically see men but i just ignore to see them as i do before ocd crisis

Hey Chrissie I was wondering which Workbooks against OCD out there would you recommend?

Thank you

Hi Chrissy please answer my question my question is can your OCD turn into something you really want and real. Because that's what I feel has happened to me? X

Hi Chrissy I now say I want the OCD that I didn't want before is this still OCD or is it not OCD.

Omg I’ve started getting this know with any programmes with something or anything in to do with violence or murder 😂😂🤦‍♂️

Can you have an intrusive ocd thought while trying to think a happy thought?

But that’s a (so I think) a normal thing/thought to think omg is she bathing!!! Lol I know loads of people who do that who haven’t got ocd or at least that kind of ocd

Same

Please help, I am seeing the OCD objects everywhere. I am tapering Benzodiazepine and it spiked up.

It's confirmation bias

Thanks to OCD I notice the bloody banana on your wall

Yes the Honda Civic.. is a great example..my employer has a vehicle and I never have seen one before and if I did which I most likely have it was never on my radar...but recently.. I've seen like 4 similar videos within a week...

That banana on your wall is distracting. Not because I have sexually intrusive thoughts, but it's just.... So out of place lol.... Like maybe if there was an orange or an apple in another frame somewhere visible or maybe it's just the position of the banana in the frame. Why do I feel like this is intentional, Chrissie...?
