  • I think anyone who plays minecraft will develop OCD

  • The only OCD i have is when I put a block down wrong in minecraft and its not straight is REALLY annoys me to the point that i have to fix it

  • when you place one block wrong in minecraft and just can't ignore it.

  • Im sure I have OCD.

  • im not an adult and im pretty sure i have ocd

  • My mom doesnt believe i have OCD when I KNOW I do. Every symptom in everything i have researched are my exact symptoms. I have 1. Disturbing, wierd, and sexual thoughts often. 2.I feel like I have to wash my hands if they feel "dirty" or if I touch my mouth I think Ill die of a foreign disease. 3.When I shop at the mall I keep the bags even thought I shop there alot. 4.My thoughts of guilt and shame are terrible. they tear me apart. How can i convince my mom to get me tested and medicated??

  • @MandyDuzMakeup I have OCD too. It's really difficult to handle. It seems to me that you do have OCD. Show this video to your mom or even another adult or family member that you can trust. Some things you can do is talk back to it. Say "I'm not going to get a disease," or "That was a weird thought." Stuff like that can help. I recommend going to see a therapist who specializes in OCD treatment. I've done it before and it really does help. 

  • @MandyDuzMakeup Another thing you can do is expose yourself to things that make you uncomfortable. Throw away the shopping bags. Only wash your hands if you go to the bathroom or touch something like animals that requires washing of the hands. If you feel guilty about something and it wasn't your fault, say "I had nothing to do with it" or "that's not my responsibility."

  • I have ocd. Its soooo annoying!!!

  • @TheSmexySalad101 same here! and i hate it! what are your symptomes?

  • i wish i had ocd about doing homework, it would really help me in school..

  • There is a good site and good therapy that explores symptoms of OCD. It can be found at solutiontherapiesonline. -c-o-m.

  • My friend has OCD while I have autism (check my username) it feels like we have a lot in common just cuz some of our symptoms are similar. It can be difficult but we survived and so can everyone else.

  • oh shit... im ocd. i do all of those things

  • Thumbs up if you clicked this video and didnt even know what O.C.D. stands for

  • I don't feel right until I clean my bedroom, and put each and every thing in it's place. My mom likes it but I think it's OCD...

  • I have OCD and I am 11! I am so scared!

  • These advertisements bother my OCD

  • @roadkill988 me too. they drive me crazy i cant even look at them!!!

  • Ughh. I have OCD so dont make jokes about it guys, but it really really annoys me.. any tips on how to make it effect your mental state less? Im ending up being depressed and suicidal, help much appriciated. Two main things i do is just randomly flick my fingers or scrape it down summin, like there is something on them andim getting it off. Another thing is when i click on something i have to click the mouse repeatedly really hard for no reason, and grammer annoys me haha, but theres loads more

  • @emoscreamogal123 me too

  • @emoscreamogal123 I try to ignore the voice that tells me "If you don't do this you're family will die or that hurrican will be your fault etc." It works sometimes, but it's SOSO hard. You can message me if you like:)

  • i had ocd, but i dont have any now. the way to get rid of this shit is to cease to believe that you will be protected by doing what your mind told you too. life is not luck, like OCD is just your mind playing tricks on you.

  • @aragorn100000 Well said. It's so true..how did you make your mind stop playing with you?

  • @FriiscoNica Ive just stopped to believe in the 'religion' i was in. For me, Ocd is a religion, or more than a sect, because people are forced to believe in something they don't want to. I really believed that some force would protect me if I kept having tics, like pronouncing every letters read in a book. (in my head, i had to say evEry leTTTTers rEAAAAAd in a bOOOOOOk)

  • Holy crap, i sometimes pick my nose a lot, and i rightclick my computer mouse a lot, and i do a lot of the same thing a lot. And my mother too. Fuuuuuckkkkk

  • Check out and follow @TakenByOCPD on twitter to read my story.

  • 0:17 epic face XD

  • I'm insane with a problem but I am happy that I can step back and enjoy science. It's a blessing and a curse and I don't know if I should to lose it or keep it.

  • I have obsessions over arithmetics, grammar, counting, symmetry and the one i hate... The unbalanced feeling, ex. If I turn a doorknob one way it feels like the way I turned it is heavy and unbalanced. So I must turn it the other way for equilibrium. Also I will contemplate for hours on physic's concepts and space. Just sitting and thinking to myself developing an alter ego and basically talking to myself on a concept I already know re-teaching my alter ego so they are symmetrical.

  • @d4k074p4l Dude> I must say, that sounds worse than schizofrenia, which is what I have.

  • what about ssex??

  • i also use q-tips to clean my ears several times a day, and i'm seemingly obsessed with buying notebooks. as of today i have 15 of them. do you think i have ocd?

  • Comment removed

  • Dang after watching this video i know for sure i have OCD. And here i thought counting everything, organizing everything from what goes where in my pockets to what 360 games im going to play next in order and the constant nail biting/ finger cracking was normal.

  • i have ocd it really sucks, but it is often misunderstood because many people with ocd do not constantly wash their hands. i dont. a lot of it is the unwanted thoughts. thats what really makes people feel ashamed. especially the voilent thoughts, but some are worse. i hate ocd. sooo time consuming

  • i cant stop watching these stupid videos :(

  • My little sister washes her hands untill they bleed

  • I'm not sure if I have OCD, can someone help me. My dads guitar is always lieing on the floor and I continuously feel the need to pick it up and move it out of my line of vision and moving wires as well. I hate it when people don't talk loud enough or when the radio isn't turned up enough. I cant stand bumps in the carpet and spend ages combing my hair. I hate open doors and things that aren't symmetrical.. Also, how do I go about telling my parents I think I have it. Thanks, Harry.

  • @HamsterDalton , you do not have OCD , you just HATE when things are not going your way  or think they should be a certain way , OCD has an addicting feel to it

  • i have negative OCD

  • This is a great video, Thank you!

  • I have OCD I hate it.

  • @KokomiTan shouldn't it be CDO? not COD?

  • i hate ocd so much

    i am a security freak

    i hate the feeling of someone or seomthing getting into my house, whether they are about to steal something or whatever

    i never invite friends to my house, i usually visit their house

    ocd is the worst fucking thing since cancer, if i can go that far

    noone deserves to have such a horrible disorder

  • @atomichead777 , you do not have OCD , you have TRUST issues with people , OCD has a addicting feeling

  • @METH3454

    i'm also a germaphobe

    everytime i touch something that isn't mine, i immediately go to the bathroom and wash my hands as much as possible for like 5 minutes using up all the soap. my hands are as dry as a desert. i hate it

  • @METH3454

    also, i wasn't being specific with the security thing

    meaning, i'm like also a checker too. when i lock the door, i have to make really sure its locked, like i have to check atleast 20 times to be satisfied

  • Count to 5 or 7 or 12? you wanna see what mine is like? i count to five, but not "1-2-3-4-5" its 5 numbers but "6-7-14-20-1" i always do and count this but when im counting, i do something five times. i may turn the light switch on and off 5 times while counting "6-7-14-20-1"...now thats bad.

  • play minecraft thats it

  • we are in control of our thoughts. Replace the thoughts and you can replace the negative behavior. It will take much patience, determination and a positive attitude. If you continuously think you will fail, you have programmed your brain to fail. A brain that is determined to win will make the efforts to finish. if you "fall off the wagon", get back up with out condemning yourself and with each new attempt to succeed, you become stronger. Read "the Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer.

  • i had ocd... couldnt stop clicking my mouse... and cleaning so much... dont go to the doctor... i got over it by myself....the doctor will drug you

  • I have Pure-O ocd..It's fuckin' TORTURE!!! Every minute of the day, my mind is bombarded with horrible, sick thoughts that make my anxiety go through the roof! The ONLY time I am free from these intrusive thoughts is when I'm asleep. .;-(

  • Is it an OCD if I wank 5 times a day? 

  • @sxchighflyer , You just like getting yourself all horned up untill you climax , your probably a Sex addict , that's different than OCD

  • Ive got OCD and i HATE it but I do all of this.it said 1 in 50 adults but 1 in 100 chldren have it.

  • I have OCD, but no-one will believe me :l

    It's awful, but I've learnt to live with it.

  • I have OCD but it doesn't really matter or get in the way all that much in my case O.o

  • "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. "

  • @gaozhi2007 thats a good one ...dune  ..it actually does work

  • @MrJakeBFTW thats kind of weird, but saying "mom, I think I have OCD" is a good start

  • @MrJakeBFTW  say mom i have ocd.

  • ive had to work my way into a routeen and its often hard to ignore the worrying feeling.

  • i think i have it... as a kid i would count random numbers (1,3,5,7,9,10,12,15,20,21,25,3­0) and i would to weird patterns with numbers for no reason like i would do (1,2,2,1,2,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,2­,1 ) over and over and i would have dreams of lines passing through a black space and it would mess with my head... i dont know what it is... and i am a perfectionist... do you think i have OCD?

  • @MrJackTheShark I keep counting the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42......

  • @gaozhi2007 i keep counting to 12, i have to do something 12 times before i feel okay.

  • @MusicMatty93 I keep counting to 5 or 7, and usually things are unbalanced on the left side. I pretty much keep things in my mind though. I hate bothering people around me

  • Im 14 and NOBODY AT ALL nkows I have it. I never knew wht it was until my mom made fun of me for sitting on the trashcan and said "what do you have ocd or something?" Now this has helped explain why i always sit on the trashcan after using it or blink 7times in a row etc.

  • @kallenandsammyshow most likely

  • I have OCD, but to be honest, it's not that much of a problem

  • @Rolandhinio i agree it gets really annoying but mines getting better and im 14

  • I think i have OCD because each night i have to say monsters monsters go away go away hey hey! And if i start counting in my head it's hard to stop and if i will draw a picture i keep adding stuff. And i'm only 11!!! Do i have OCD!!!

  • I got OCD because i keep counting 1 2 3 on weird things like the lights the doors ect ect ect. and i keep saying everything i think i didn`t say right over and over until i get it right :l

  • @adahead Yeah same here...

  • @adahead i have that too, i keep saying things to myself just right, if it wasnt right, i say it again like a certain number of times.

  • i think i have ocd i always make sure doors are shut properly straiten sheets and rugs and table cloths and another wierd thing is i always count in my head for no real reason

  • I don't think I have OCD, and if I do, it's really minor.

    For one, I can't leave the TV volume on any odd number except one ending in 5.

    When I tap myself with my fingers, such as on my legs or whatever, or a table, I have to have the same amount of fingers tapped on both hands. I also, try to keep an even number of feet on eat little concrete block on the street.

    I think it might just be because I like things looking nice, and not OCD.

  • @Zawicki1 I do all of that! 

  • @Zawicki1 Dude thats OCD

  • @TheCratcher But I'm able to control it. It's not like if I don't do it I feel weird. Since I only do it when I think about it, but subconsciously.

  • I think I have OCD, I just can't stop farting everyday.

  • @TCXtasy thats what your mom thought when she had you....ups

  • Comment removed

  • @KarliiKickbackxD obsessive compulsive disorder, dumbass. just watch the goddamn vid

  • Comment removed

  • What if you constantly are blinking and constantly have muscle jerking that you can't control? I've had this for years and can not stop it from happening. The harder I try the worse it gets and there is NO limit.

  • @fgtrdes Maybe that's turrets?

  • @legolasfan101 Well maybe but maybe not. I looked into that and with tourette's syndrome people yell obscenities and swear without knowing, and I don't do that. So I don't know what the muscle jerks are about and doctors don't take it seriously.

  • Oh man, I must have inherited this from my dad. He used to check the locks at night about twenty times before going to bed, now I do the same thing, but at least my case is minor. (I'm satisfied to check them three times minimum.) lol.

  • I think I brought an O.C.D. on myself when i was six, and now I'm 15:(

    Today I'm going to a psychologist, and I'm hoping I can cope with it:)

  • @BunnyCake10 something like that is with me :S

  • i have am ocd about odd numbers and i brush ma teeth for 10min every day i do everything twice

  • sooo i THINK i have an ocd. i keep picking at the skin on the side of my thumbs. my thumbs look really sick and the picking goes really deep. and the same with the skin on my lips. is this an ocd?

  • .... So OCD is what i have been suffering from. Ever since i was a little kid, i've had habits, things needed to be done i specific ways. I even had a period where i could stand for 5-10 minutes and wash my hands :(

  • @thooty3 why do you think that happens.

    I can explain this to you, or anyone on this

    comment forum, but it's not about chemical

    in balance per se!

    What ever you've been told is wrong!

  • @fntime what do you mean? 

  • I was soo happy when he washed his hands three times in a row..my numbers are 3 and 9..i count..turn doorknobs..repeat prayers..repeat phrases in 3s.. Favor my leftside but call it my right..o gosh..ocd is no joke

  • research, isnt that what howcast is supposed to do!

  • @crazygirlsmallworld its fucking annoying isnt it. i have these habits where if my backpack isnt zipped up all the way and alligned with each other then i have to make it perfect. mine isnt that major but i have to put objects EXACTLY IN THE CENTRE OF SOMETHING. or when im done going to the bathroom i have to check if all the lights are off, if the water is still running and if i didnt flush.

  • i dont have ocd

  • i do have a ocd but half of what i do isnt on here only that i clean my room very often and that things have to be in a certain order, strange i know i also get annoyed if wires are hanging that will grind on me until its moved lol

  • u kno i never believed i had OCD at all, and i still dont think i do..probably just in my head tho i do tend to think of things i dont want to think, and afraid of hurting people mentally and physically(well, depending on the situation, if he was a jackass then) i use to look at trees when im in the car and imagine a pink ribon swirling through them.......eh, probably a common thing in people tho

  • I think I have it.

  • I have the need of perfection stuff like folding napkins,tearing up papers, writing straight lines and I have counting-random-stuff disorder.

  • what

  • too see the cure for this disease go to youtube press anxiety islam trust it will help you it helped me

  • i think i have ocd..i worry about hurting people..and i have bad skin picking....its weird but i have half the symptoms so i think i have it mild..

  • same. i worry about hurting people and i pick skin on my fingers when im nervous. and i will not sit down on a bus. and i dont let people borrow my pens incase they germ them up.

  • hmmm.... strange, i think i have ocd to the max except i dont go on buses, but i know id sit anyways... and i let people borrow mah pens if they want, i dont worry about dirtiness much... other than that everything has to be perfect!

  • @ThroneLucyXxX OMG SAME!!!! i just tell everyone i burnt my fingers because they're all sore n red :(

  • my OCD is youtube

  • i used to be parinod about peanuts then i new i was worring about stupied things

  • I have OCD. I usually worry I am going to hurt somebody, and the thought that I might do so bugs the shit out of me. Worst feeling ever.

  • Thats what I have, had it for about 6 years. Its horrid.

  • i am the same way too , know what you mean it is worst feeling ever . I dont know how to stop these thoughts , i am tired

  • Yes, I do agree. It am very tired of it as well. What can you do but to cope with it? :(

  • @wilfr1989 high five dude same here i hate the fact that none qualified people usully say "you don't have ocd your room is messy"i mean ocd is about intrusive thoughts too, i would rather have a routine suchas tidying my room constantly than sitting in my room all day thinking about death,people dieing, me hurting someone .

  • @djrotten Dude that's not OCD!

    OCD is where you feel that It's compulsory to do something!

    WOW, you THOUGHT about hurting someone!

    No offence, but if you had OCD, you wouldn't be THINKING about hurting someone you REALLY WOULD BE HURTING SOMEONE!

  • @TheDommeran No, you wouldn't. Intrusive thoughts can be of any nature, but that does not imply that the person will carry out these thoughts.

  • @wilfr1989 then you are fine. you need to worry when you do not know you got one ~! lol

  • If something isn't perfect after a couple of goes, I just throw it.

  • i used to do this think with my feet. i used to tap them in a certain way and wouldn't stop until i felt i'd done it the same amount of times on both feet. i also clean my hands non stop and count random objects. i used to even memorise every colour of the people down my streets garages. it seems silly now but at the time i'd cry if anyone commented.

  • My sister in Washington has OCD

  • great job

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't find out till I was 15 and then that was when I realized I was worrying about stupid stuff.

  • I count things... and I brush my hair non stop

  • Comment removed

  • Step Six: Clean your damn garage! Ha Ha.

  • Just had to say, you guys are fucking morons (Howcast) you're speaking about O.C.P.D. not O.C.D. maybe you guys should go research your shit again and stop giving false information about things that could be considered serious to others. Cunts.

  • Got rid of it by myself, without a therapist or going online. It's just willpower man.

  • Same here. I used to tap my fingers and couldnt stop until i felt that i'd tapped each finger in a certain way. Looking back i can see how rediculous it seems. Also, I've learnt that willpower has a big infuence on what we do. For instance, when working out if you start to feel as if you're about to give, tell yourself that you can continue. Psyche yourself up. This releases adrenline which gives you a boost of energy and allows you to ignore fatigue more easily.

  • me to I used to check every door to see if it was locked, all the windows, open the door handles 4 times to see if it was really locked .. it was kinda hard .. stressful, I was young and didn't wantto do it because it was dark outside and I'm scared of the dark. did it anyway .. I stopped though, started to ask my mum to do it and then it went away in time :)

  • With my aunt it was the oven (isitoffisitoffisitreallyoffam­Ireallysureitsoff?), hand-washing and locking the front door. Now she just cleans a lot.

  • monk. lol
