@chelsea k i can understand what it's like to have OCD. I hate to see organized things and don't feel like cleaning my room for days

@@armaangoel1315 same, I just lay in my bed mentally ruminating and giving myself reassurance I'm not a murderer, gay, trans whatever. Cause of this, I sometimes think I should just kms. Haven't done that to, just the rationality. The worst are the moments when you doubt wether is really an obsession or Denial.

@@bruh____784 yeah . Same one can have different obsessions . I have have different fears . And same i feel like lying in bed doing nothing. All the time I have guilts and regrets . And many more.....

agreed. I told someone the other day I'm OCD and was immediate invalidated cause my room is a disaster and I always make a mess

I know how u feel

Same i am ocd and now I think I am mental I don’t want to commit suicide I am just stressed and I over think

@@dracosgurl7547 yeah OCD can be really stressful, but reaching out to people you trust and finding professional help has been really important for me. Hope everything works out for you!

My mom has it and it's very difficult than people think it is

ocd isn’t real 💀

Exactly, I see all these reviews with people giving it 1 star, but it's at least a 3 star mental illness. Not near schizophrenia, which is 5 stars, but still underrated.

@@cleigh3796 and i think people just give it 1 star because they dont know what OCD really is

It’s way too overlooked

@@joeFrolic Totally, they're the equivalent of people who leave reviews on books they've never read as if they're qualified to do so. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to counting to 3, then 2 in my head repetitively, but I have to stop when the number gets to a multiple of 5. I'll know when it feels safe to stop. Otherwise I'll have a heart attack.

@@cleigh3796 omg u have ocd toooooo

Be careful bud you might break those toothpick arms

@@shade8304 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What is with those two above me

​@@rokuyasu9143Seems like you can't control yourself😂

There are times where Ive had to blink so many times over and over again because everything I do has to be done a certain number of times that I've given myself migraines. I've accidentally touched something hot and burned myself but had to touch it again several times in a row because I couldn't just touch it once. I drop things just to have to pick them back up and drop them again so that it wasn't just done once. Everything takes me at LEAST twice as long, usually longer because not only does it have to be done a certain number of times, but also to a specific beat inside my head, and if it doesn't feel right the first time, it can mean hours and hours of just doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. Even things I don't want to do, or didn't do intentionally. Everything has to be done a certain number of times to the same specific beat in my head. I also have an entire routine before I can go anywhere or go to sleep where I have to lock and check all of my doors 36 times each in sets of 2s and then do that 8-16 times in sets of 4, all to that same specific beat in my head. It makes even the smallest task a huge ordeal because it's not like I can just do the task once, I have to do it over and over again. Things that should take 5 seconds take 5 minutes. Washing one single dish is like washing 20 of them because I have to keep washing it over and over again

I know! I literally have to even out my walk. Like if I feel like I pressed my foot down too hard, I have to even it out with the other foot. It’s sooo annoying

@@xnicolex Wait that’s a type of OCD?? You literally just described me. I never thought I had OCD but can the activities you described be like… an issue without OCD or is it an OCD-specific problem?

yep, sounds stupid but i have to pet my dog on the same side a even amount of times and a even number, and the TV volume has to be within increment of 5 or i will freak out

Yea I have OCD and it is almost exactly like that.

Yep I have ocd , panic disorder , anxiety, social anxiety, depression,seperation anxiety , possible eating disorder . I have all of this diagnosed. I get panic attacks if I feel not organised or if I didn’t do something that my mind keeps telling me to do

​@@meleatingcereal5026 depression is adhd

Weak ass

Uh, years of stress and anxiety say that it very much does shape me. I am drastically different person than I would otherwise be, pretty undoubtedly.

It definitely does shape you tho? My mental illnesses impact how I interact with the world, how I feel, how others interact with me...

@@stevesmith7339 yes, it does play a part in your life, but what they’re saying is it’s not *everything* about you. You are more than whatever illness you may have.

mf goes to a therapist for a fake illness 💀💀

I like to think of OCD as a part of me, it's not gonna go away, (and even though if causes issues, I'm sorta proud to have it) and you just gotta learn to live with it.

Can you tell me how to identify OCD ..I mean I always have intrusive thought because of which I'm depressed I don't know it's just an anxiety or something else

​@@ledgend5714well, I don't know if that will help you or if everyone with ocd have those things but I personally have more intrusive thoughts about who I am and what I'm really feeling and if my opinions are invalid or not and a problem with overanalyzing things I love or just things in general and sometimes when I find something I hate about my obsession, I cry or worse.

@Valky nor were we asking for a disrespectful pos

@Valky they didn't need to ask you to comment

@Valky but you don’t need to ask to comment…?

Double L

@Valky ok no life

Yes exactly! And they don’t understand that there are different types of ocd. “Making everything neat” is not the only type of ocd out there. It really makes me mad people don’t realize that and I’m sorry you have to go through that

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE MOVE STUFF IN MY ROOM SO MUCH I FEEL LIKE CRYING LMAO. but I don't think I have OCD...? Idk

Back when I was a kid before I knew I had OCD, if someone moved my stuff or put it in a different place I would freak out and lose my mind and get sooo anxious. And I knew it was silly and that I shouldn't freak out but I couldn't NOT have that breakdown. When I was diagnosed it made sooo many of my mental issues/other problems like that make sense.

I relate to you, so much. And I hope it gets better.

mf is dealing with something that doesn’t exist 💀💀

I'm sorry...I wish I could help in some way! *gives hug*

Bless your heart, you will get through this ❤️ you are not alone, you can do this, you can still be a doctor. I get it.

Can you afford a therapist? It's possible to learn to deal with these issues. A therapist would be best because just talking about these thoughts can already make you feel much better and they can equip you with the tools to cope with them. You don't have to give up on your dreams just because you're in a bad place right now. You can become a doctor even after failing at school. It might take more time and it might take more effort but it is possible.

@@princessthyemis I'm so sorry. I only know a fraction of what that must feel like and its a living hell. I hope you are able to breathe again soon, one way or the other. Sometimes you just need to drop some things

Exactly this! I feel you ❤️

Who tf would say that without being high on drugs?

Id like to see what they think once they experience intrusive thoughts for 5 minutes

Who the fuck would call a disorder a blessing.

@@3hula950 hmmm i think i saw it on a tiktok once

@@3hula950 the same people who fake mental illness

This is what we need more of as well, along with spreading the awareness. I am heartwarmed at how you dealt with this and grew to be better and want to advocate for becoming aware for things like this. I used to be the same way, and I mess up plenty but try to get better at it and learn more as we all should :) It's a great thing -- taking responsibility for things than can be either harmless or harmful, all in order to hopefully prevent construing the truth into one's favor when it isn't even necessary. It may cause the spread of misinformation and misplaced reactions towards serious situations/conditions. People admitting to themselves what we mess up with from time to time helps with growth. It makes spreading awareness so much more effective when we ponder the effect we have on other people and what other people experience as well.

Here goes to personal growth👍

bruh stfu you’re just using ocd for attention and acting “quirky” 💀💀

So fun fact about me I need to be organized, that's one way my OCD shows but I'm not always organized. Why? I also get seasonal depression 🙃

you are so amazing and strong!!! 💗

mf has something that isn’t real 💀💀

my OCD makes me have to do things to both sides of things, so if i chew food on the left side of my mouth, i have to chew on the right side right after. it also happens while i go up stairs, if i start on my left foot, i have to stop on my right.

Sometimes I have ⏃ thing where I'll have these urges and I get really uncomfortable. Like I have to fidget in ⏃ certain way and pop all my knuckles, or I'll have to say words in ⏃ specific tone (not all the time tho

Does that mean i have OCD if I feel very angry and comfortable when i dont do stuff i had to do and For example if i locked the door. I would go check again and again. And Also washing ur hands and feet every other hour because I feel they are dirty. Or is this normal please help!!

@@iamkoreoneminem8364 you should get it checked with a professional (psychiatrist)

@@julezdroolz Thanks I will book an appointment right now!

Yeah, honestly. OCD was the last thing I was thinking of because "Thats just a hand washing thing" or whatever. But it makes so much sense now that i know about iy

My OCD makes me NEED to wash things constantly. If a pillow drops from the bed to the floor, it’s dirty. It really sucks to have to keep doing laundry. Anyways, the point is I feel you, I can’t help it either.

Practice keeping yourself from giving in to the urge to do it as long as possible. You'll be in discomfort and maybe you can't even do it at first but it is something you can practice. After a while it can get easier and eventually you may even be able to resist it. This is the most uncomfortable phase but after resisting the urge again and again, your brain slowly starts to learn that there's really nothing to worry about. This is a lot easier said than done, it takes a lot of will power and time but that's how it went for me at least. A good therapist can be incredibly helpful with this.

I'm not organized but i can't sleep without checking and rechecking the locks multiple times, it like if i don't grab it with my hands and make sure, i can't sleep. I can't use dishes with washing them first and this is everything from plates to cooking utensils. It's not that i think it's dirty,or that whoever did the dishes last didn't do a good job, i don't know why i do it but i can't help it. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

i didn’t realize that was ocd i always feel like if i tap my foot once i have to do it to the other one then go in like a pattern and make it equal and it’s something i can’t help but like even when i was little this part i don’t know if it’s ocd too but like i’d always count like always if my mind wasn’t on anythjng

@@em2401 I too that too sometimes. Like, a nagging thought in the back of my mind always tells me to do something to the other part of my hand/leg/ear because something will happen if I don’t. I definitely know how you feel!

Same :/

@@fencefx9285 you have 25 comments trolling Did your parents not give you enough attention lol

I know the actual meaning, but it's still a phrase used by alot of people for when things disturb them. Keep in mind it's not just because they misunderstand or want to offend you, it's a phrase.

@@moonlana3654 Generally speaking the thing that's bothering them is something irking their sense of perfection so if someone else says they're being OCD that's not the cause nor related then it's spoken out of ignorance. If someone wants to say they themselves are being OCD then that's a different matter

@@shamans123 Fair enough. I cringe when I hear someone use OCD in that manner often. Once or twice, I get the 'term'. But making it a part of your identity when what you mean is being "overly" organized to the point where it bothers you, is still a different matter.

Just ignore it when your OCD starts kicking in, think of it like a habit, stop the habit and it will eventually stop completely. If you keep fulfilling your urges the OCD will grow more, just bear it for a while.

True why do people say this about everything though 😭 "everyone has a little bit ADHD" "everyone has a little bit anxiety" "everyone has a little bit bipolar" bc of ONE symptom or stereotype sounding relatable or convenient 😭😭

@@gucciroseii3517 Yeah, most people say it to make you feel better, to normalise it. But is has the opposite effect. I try not to judge those people too much, although I will tell them this makes feel worse, and invalidated. There are people who say it to make themselves feel better. Those people I just leave hanging.

Yeah I agree! It is hell to deal with and it's super annoying when people say it as a phrase when they don't have it. Someone in my class was like 'oh I'm so OCD' because they were making their work neat. I know there are different types of OCD, but it's just hard when that is compared to the harsher versions. I just wanted to yell 'does it take you 10 hours a day of compulsions to be able to live?! Are you kept up until 3am with worries and compulsions??'. But obviously I didn't. Oh well.

WTF
