  • I have "or else" thoughts as well

  • I have OCD.. I hate it ..

  • fear and guilt are the two feelings that have haunted my life with my disorder. fear and guilt of the worse kind as well. my ocd has recently gone from fear of being diagnosed with schizophrenia to my new delightful fear of sexually abusing or killing kids. not that i am suicidal or anything but now looking back on the issue and the fact that i used to be a bit of a hypochondriac, death seem to be the least of my issues. when things are really bad i often romanticize about the thought of dying.

  • He's cute!

  • i was like this when i was 14, now im 18 and its so much worse

  • I have OCD and pigs arse the lord has helped me to deal with this.What have I ever done to deserve to suffer such conditions?and if there is a GOD why do people suffer so much for?

  • I have OCD and pigs arse the lord has helped me to deal with this.What have I ever done to deserve to suffer such conditions?and if there is a GOD why do people suffer so much for?

  • Why would your "god" want to CURE people with OCD? Ritualized actions with a strong sense of guilt and fear sounds like Christianity to me. Going to Church and reading the Bible and praying a given amount every week because you're afraid of hell is really no different than washing your hands 30 times a day because you're afraid of germs. Your "god" would love for all of us to develop OCD.

  • @SenatorTony It makes it worse for me D:.

  • Look up the healing power of Neurofeedback....please spread the word it seems to be a secret and it is an answer to unlock the brain

  • Im sure I have this >.<

  • if you pray about it ocd can get better

  • @SenatorTony if you pray and do your part. the Lord willl help you get better. not worse. :)

  • It seems that OCD happens to people with too much time on their hands..

  • @UndercoverCracker ill admit thats true

  • @SenatorTony WOW UR DUMB. jesus has a lot to do with this. if you pray to the Lord Almighty of course he'll make it better so I suggest u be quiet

  • @johnandemilio Go away you medieval troglodyte. People need real help, not your superstitious nonsense. 

  • @SenatorTony and what will make you better then? pills until you dies from dont knowing what the fuck you are here for?

  • religion all bullshit anyway too help ppl not be scared of death and sex

  • Devil can cause brain chemistry problem.

  • @san42c02y

    no...

  • I like this video, but there are some similar videos online. Undoubtedly, many people have this condition. Our brain tends to get produce many unwanted behaviors. However, people with OCD are not hopeless. There are some great therapies available, such as the one on solutiontherapiesonline. -c-o-m.

  • By the guidance of God almighty (ALLAH) you can cure OCD. Islam has the solution for the problems of the mankind if you want to know about it please see this video on youtube "curing  obsessive compulsory disorder in 3 steps" by zaidg.Or visit his website. May God almighty(ALLAH) help you.

  • Does anyone think watching videos about OCD can trigger it?

  • OCD is for real but does not have to be a nightmare I no longer suffer from Anxiety, Depression, Agoraphobia, Panic Attacks and Worry about nothing. Thank you so much Charles anxietygone.co.uk

  • i no a very gud pysicatrist and pysocologist....if anyone needs help email their question and problems to ahmedjaved_45@yahoo.com...il help u inshallah...il try my best to solve ur problem :)

  • Accept god and he will give you a good anal pounding when you get to heaven. Sorry God that was my OCD.

    LOL !!!!!!

  • @Spotlight9024

    good one

  • @ Johniie, I also have OCD. It helps to be an atheist. Give up all those irrational beliefs in God and Satan.

  • @ClamCrunchy

    same here it took me years to get over that

  • @ClamCrunchy i have OCD and anorexia! it helps to believe in God! he is in control and even though i try so hard to be in control and im not! God knows whats good for me and i am so thankful that i have him helping me along as i recover from these diseases! no one can do it without him!

  • I went to a doctor and all she wanted to do was force religion on me.I fuckin hated it and Lauren if I ever met you I would shake your hand I give respect to anyone that wants to make this known to anyone else and reaches out to other people with OCD

  • Someone call the men in the white coats

  • @trumpet90909 you're a dicl 

  • @SenatorTony

    Thank you. I also suffer from OCD, have my whole life. Religion only made the "punishment" aspect of it worse. You think god will punish you or your loved ones.

  • @KATASTROPHI3 oh gosh, i have the same thing.

  • @KATASTROPHI3 Oh gosh i have the same thing..

  • @SenatorTony dude im soo with u on that one

  • When my hands get contaminated, it can takes sometimes a week to get them clean. And in that week I can't touch anything. Imagine how hand that is.

  • Wonder what medication he takes?

  • @SenatorTony even if religon doesnt actually help you, it gives you a sub consious message to get better

  • @shammymasta then isn't helping you now, is it?

  • "Walk up the stairs 3 times or else. " I feel like that sometimes, like....hmm trying to think of an example. Oh ya like "Hold your breath for 20 seconds."So I feel yall's pain.

  • I have a problem of making vows that "I vow I will only go to heaven if I see Aunt Pam today" "I vow I will only go to heaven if I skip Mr. Shifflet's funeral because I don't know him well enough, etc...." Is this a common OCD as I think it is to block the feeling of uncertainty if deciding something like whether to go to Mr. Shifflett's funeral or whether to drive to Aunt Pam's house.

  • @Gowalum well personally, i do not have that "kind" i have another. i feel 4 u tho i have had it probably 4 14 years, and i am now 14, i have found (i think) that video games help/ might help me! good luck man ! i know it iz hard

    

  • @LiamEhni Video games do help alot of people such as myself really anything that will distract you from any kind of thought helps

  • Is frequent masturbation a form of OCD ?

  • @evilpacker No

  • @evilpacker no you ass

  • @angelchi1500 so quick to call me names,but i was being serious,as it is a legit problem people have.

  • @evilpacker: you are an idiot

  • @evilpacker absouletly not

  • @evilpacker

    it can be, how do u feel when u dont wank off?

  • @SenatorTony hey grass funnel you don't know what goes through his brain. So, please, don't assume.

  • is this As Good As It Gets? ahaha

  • I have OCD, and it's very distressing everyday. I've had it now for about a year and a half, and I've had it pretty severe since then. I also have generalized anxiety disorder, along with depression, and very mild ASD. I know how difficult anxiety can make your life, with basically how my life's turned around in the past year and some. I've actaully been given prozac up to 80mg, which hasn't helped my much, along with benzos, and antipsychotics, but still no dramatic change. I'm hoping meds and.

  • @CanadaUpcastXSLT CBT can help me. Anyone, what has worked for you in terms of dealing with this?

  • @CanadaUpcastXSLT I went to an ocd treatment center, basically we mostly did CBT- Exposure Response Prevention. You do the thing you are terrified of WITHOUT ritualizing in any way. Its hardest at the beginning, always. You have to live with the crippling doubt, and the more you do that, the more youre saving your life, and time. Help yourself, you really deserve to. Best of luck :)

  • When I was little, I used to always think things like "If don't swim exactly two laps of the pool with no-one else in the pool, then I will get eaten by a shark." and then if someone started getting into the pool I would scream, shake and cry until they got out. I still get it sometimes, but I can pretty much push the feeling away, but it still lurks in the back of my mind. Like "If I don't eat so many pieces of fruit then I will be stabbed while in the shower" - is this normal???

  • @JustinsAngels Yeah I think OCD can vary alot, though aloot people have the stereotypical type of ocd, i dont, so yea...

  • @SenatorTony true story...praying got absorbed into my routines. Repetitively.

  • i have this thing where if i put something down, it has to feel like its in the right place otherwise i feel really annoyed, is that ocd? or am i just wierd lol

  • Some people have OCD and need to type every word they say twice

  • I had terrible OCD in jr high, so did my parents. It was hell. Thankfully I grew out of it. The science behind the OribtoFrontal Cortex (the part of the brain responsible for error-correction) going temporarily haywire is nonetheless fascinating.

  • Man I have OCD bad and I'm just realizing it now.

  • I would like to see people post about being misdiagnosed with OCD (and OCPD). I believe I have been misdiagnosed with both - and as a consequence I am being treated for a condition which I do not have, and is quite possibly being mistaken for something else.

  • i read a book about OCD &nd whut the girl in this book was going through was nothing pleasent this lil girl would count crack on the floor order her food evertithing had to be even numbers she had to kiss the tips of her fingers between holding a door knob she would pray each time someone sed a bad word & she would have thoughts about her parents dead or injured or the ones she loved. this lil girld confront her fearcd and she got beter. PEOPLE FIND HELP YOUR NOT ALONE

  • I got ocd, it is too embarrassing to share but it calms me down reading comments on here with other people having ocd. Although of course I feel for you all.

  • What drug did you take to free yourself?

  • I dont think I have OCD but maybe I do.When I had to do something fo school it had cursive in it and if I dident like some of the cursive I would have to throw it down and rip it apart I kept trying but then I got frustrated so i threw the paper on the floor and started to uhh dont laugh but cry.And when i do my hair in a pigtail if i dont like it i'll say to my self it not that bad keep it and then i always take it down and do it again is there somehting wronge with me plz tell:)

  • You're alright. Those are just symptoms of being a woman.

  • i didnt get 2 finish my comment i find that when im tired or grouchy ocd is alot worse thats y i have a ritual i do everynight ps i dont always have 2 look 4 the thing but most of the time

  • i have ocd mine is like i have a problem with certain smells and if i dont wsh my hands itll stay on me 4ever and there is thing that excists in my mind but it dosnt really excist and i know that so i dont know why im afraid of it but i still am and with this thing every time i touch something i have 2 look at it and make sure the thing isnt there i also have a problem that my moms makeup will get of her face and stay on mine if she gets 2 close

  • I guess I have OCD. But if you think a litle further, a human beeing doing rituals like praying all the time for not getting hurt or dieing could be seen as a form of OCD? OCD is basicaly a faith or thought you establish in your head in the form of a ritual you perform so that equilibrium around you is maintained. A funny thought would be that all major religions where the result of people having OCD. lol...

  • omg i ddnt knw i had ocd... because when i dont do something i think ill die or someone will die like someone in my head thts weird...its not tht bad

  • @champofworld22

    i hate this stupid OCD !!! it's ruining my life!!! i can't control it!!!!! :( :(

    some people here like you say that it's not so bad.. maybe because some people suffer from the ocd less than other people....!!.

    but i can tell you for sure that for some people the ocd is just a NIGHTMARE!!!

    (sorry if my english is not so good lol)

  • I don't see OCD as a disability (or at least the form i have) i agree with this guy i to am rarely ever sick.

  • ...I haven't had a bad blood test...in awhile... OMG so funny

  • I agree with thsi guy. I have (had) OCD for a good 17 years or so. Helping ease it has a lot to do with re-wiring your thought processes. I know, I cannot explain it here, but by looking at all the "certains" versus the "maybes," you will almost always find evidence refuting your silly thoughts. Latch onto those. I know, easier said than done. Medicine, of course, does help in allowing your mind the freedom to rewire.

  • @GaijinGDB did you try medicine to overcome your ocd?

  • Yes, medicine in initially, but I just needed to meet that right someone who I could talk to and who could try and 'logic' me out of my worries. It did a world of good. Nothing is completely erased, but comparing myself 2 years back to me now, I am vastly better. Medicine helps, but I think more than anything support helps, a human touch.

  • I think religion is one of the biggest causes of mental stresses for many people. It makes you feel guilty for being a human in virtually every way. If you are a devout Christian and gay, for example, I can only imagine how terrible that must be. Religion in many ways is the antithesis to good mental health practices, if it is considered the only answer. Exorcism just doesn't do it for me!

  • It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with evil spirits. It is an illness of the brain and personality, from brain chemistry and upbringing. One of my obsessive fears for YEARS was evil spirits, and that just made it worse. While I consider myself a Christian, being close to religion or irrational thinking makes it 20 000 times worse, and in fact it first started for me when I was 6 and heard about religion for the first time. So, please, don't assume.

  • @JohnnieNaked holy bejesus what you like a docotor or some shit

  • @JohnnieNaked

    No. It's evil spirits. EVIL SPIRITS

  • I hate it

  • is paranoyer a form of ocd anyone plz?

  • Actual paranoia could be indicative of a multitude of psychiatric illnesses but I do not believe paranoia is a symptom of OCD.

    However, if you mean you are always thinking bad stuff is going to happen to you then that could be a form of OCD.

  • ok thank you

  • No problem. When you've been in therapy as long as I have you pick a few things up along the way:)

    I wanted to add something though. If you truly feel as if you are suffering from a delusions then I really hope you seek help immediately. But I don't think you are. I think the fact that you are cognicent of your "paranoia" implies it is not true paranoia but maybe obsessive thoughts.

  • i hate my OCD i have to check to see if my room is clean like 40 times until i can leave

  • Yeah I'm 24... My OCD is weird.. I mean it didn't develop until i was like 17.. Right when I had everything going for me. The perfect girl, the perfect life, the militayr was about to be my future... But bam!!! Next thing I know I was washing my hands all day and spending hours in a shower. - It has ruined my life. The only adivce I can give to those who have it.. Get on some meds and in some response-prevention thearpy as soon as it starts..

  • I am 27 and mine emerged when I was 7 years old. So even though I've had to deal with this for 20 years, I think you have it harder. I've never known anything other than having OCD but you have. To go from the "normal" life to that of an OCD sufferer must be difficult. Good news is there are much better meds available now then there were 20 years ago. I was a guinea pig:) Also you are still young and there is no reason you can't accomplish everything you want to.

    Good luck:)

  • Thanks Jpeoplois..

    LOL you say I had it hard? Your situations is probably hardest since you had it longer. Plus like you said there was more medicine. But I did get to enjoy 17 years before my life went down so I guess I should be happy.

    But still at 17 there wasn't much out there for OCD so I know the guinea pig feeling. I actually was admitted to a university hospital and studied by resident doctors so I felt like one too lol.

  • I love these "whose more screwed up competitions." My family and I play them all the time:)

    Either way you have suffered and I am glad that you have found an effective medical and CBT treatment combo that works.

    I feel like I know exactly where you're coming from just by the way you've worded your sentences. You speak in the past tense when referring to the "happy times" which I do as well. In fact I often reference things as "before OCD" and "After OCD." Is that strange?:)

  • Likewise, I'm glad to hear your OCD is much better too. But yea, I naturally tend ot aviod speaking about this terrible experience/period of my life in conversations for some for some strange reason.- It sucks though, one is never really "healed" from OCD so I still have to keep my OCD in check at times but it's like a million times better now so no complaining lol. Again I guess one has to experience OCD to know what I mean lol.

  • Well if you ever need to talk about the OCD with someone who you know will not judge you, feel free to contact me. Sometimes the best advice comes from those who have shared experiences:)

    Trust me, I know the horror of the "What if?" disease.

  • Thanks Jpeopolis, I appreciate this.

  • No problem! Anything to distract me from this monumental genetics exam I am trying my hardest not to study for:)

  • OCD lies!

    Tell your OCD, "OCD, you are a liar!!!", even if you don't necessarily believe it.

    It's only a feeling! Keep in mind that feelings are not always true!

    All you have to do is believe that OCD is a liar, a bully, and that the anxious feelings associated with it will eventually pass, because when you BELIEVE that the anxious feelings will go away, guess what.. They go away!

  • I'm currently suffering from a "major" form of OCD. I could probably tell you a few things about it. Those with OCD have come to believe that they're inherently incompetent. Something is wrong with them, that is beyond their control. OCD convinces them that by using OCD's rituals as a "crutch", they can make up for their incompetence. I've discovered that purposely disobeying OCD rituals, and experiencing the full feeling of anxiety by not backing down, the feeling dissapates. It takes practice.

  • Are you being treated with CBT?

  • Oh yeah.. :)

  • Me too! I like how you to refer to it as "major" OCD since that is how I feel too. I have what is known as "hypochondriacal OCD" which means every ritual is somehow related to my fears about health. Its been difficult to treat, even with CBT and medication. Its hard because I don't always know why I can't get better. I am 27 now and have been in treatment for over 21 years. Sometimes I just feel that I cannot stop my brain from inundating me with intrusive thoughts. Know what I mean?

  • intrusive thoughts? sounds familiar to me, like unwhised and repetitive thoughts?

  • Yeah! That's what the doctors call them. Like when you have a bad thought such as "I could just run this car into this tree." Everybody has quick, bad thoughts like that but people with OCD obsess about these thoughts and they start to worry " am I going to drive in this tree?Why do I have these thoughts?" Every person has these intrusive thoughts but OCD sufferers can't let the thoughts go.

  • @jpeopolis Same ,i guess i have hypochondriacal OCD :|.

  • i really hate people who say they have ocd, like at skool like when they have to draw just a strait line and theyre like omg i wear i have ocd, no they dont i have ocd, bad ocd, real ocd, pills for ocd, i try not to scream when i hear someone say i bet i have ocd, they act like its not a desease, well NEWS FLASH it is, its a horrible desease, but know you cant die unless it drags you to kill ur self, but still life is 20 times more complicated for people with ocd

  • Yeah it is annoying when people do that.

    My sister doesn't have OCD, but she is constantly telling me how she "thinks" she has some "mild" OCD lol... Yeah checking to make sure you turn your stove off isn't "mild".... It might be a anxiety thing, but it sure isn't OCD.

  • I kinds of hate it when people who are just neurotic say "OMG I am sooo OCD" but I know they mean nothing by it. It sucks that people think OCD is synonymous for "excessive handwashing". I am 27 years old now and I struggled horribly since I was a 6 year old little girl. It makes every moment hard, trying to keep the intrusive 'OCD thoughts' out of my mind. I wish there was a greater public understanding of the disease. Not just "Oh, so you're like Monk":)

  • i have thoughts telling me the most stupidest of things witch i know is complete stupid and impossible but still i belive it

  • i always have to touch something an even amount of times and i have to have the volume on a tv either on an even number or it has to be going up by fives ex: 5, 10, 15, 20..... its sooooo annoying!

  • i have OCD

    i have little voices inside my head telling me if i dont do it again ill go to hell...

  • Me too! But now Im getting better thanks to the treatment

  • I'm not taking the piss here but is having to have the volume on an even number, not stepping on cracks in the pavement or walking in a straight line for as long as possible considered OCD or just odd?

  • The rule of thumb is whether or not these "eccentricities" are impacting your life in a negative fashion and preventing you from doing things you would like to be doing.

    Another way to test is to see what happens if you DO step on a crack or put the volume to an odd number. Does it bother you a little or are you inundated with worrisome and intrusive thoughts?

  • i have OCD and have sexual obsession...i learned how to control it now...now i feel good lol

  • I think I have OCD, its retarded, like I have to do things an even amount of times and if I don't something bad will happen and yeah I've tried not doing it but something bad happened like for eg. I didn't scratch the palm of my hands four times and later that day my dog died. That happened like twice and all this weird shit. I also have to look at things an even amount of times and sometimes go back to it and stare at it it's frigging annoying. Oh and usually if I don't it staysinmymindforages.

  • yh mate i get that same sort of stuff like example if i look at my mum only twice not three times shell get cancer of some thing stupid like that its driving me crazy

  • Welcome to the hell of "intrusive thoughts"!

  • my sister has terrible OCD. She cant touch anyone in the that comes to the house, she spends hours in the shower scrubbing herself, she hardly leaves her room. She is usually pretty normal when shes out of the house. if someone touches her, she goes completely hysterical.

  • i myself have OCD it is not easy to live with there many forms of it what you see on TV is one but what hey dont show you is the kind i have which is basically intrusive violent unwanted thoughts and the true struggle i endure everyday i take meds and see a doc twice a week OCD is a very real Illness some people can cope or have diffrent forms of it some have milder versions than others i feel for the ones who have a hard time dealing with it i had a good day today but had 4 days of hell

  • Jesus, all these dicks commented pretending they have OCD, or know everything about it.

  • is it a disorder if i have about 10 thoughts a day of my parents dying and i have to pray or knock on wood or else i will think they will die because its my fault?

  • by the sounds of it yes.

    just think about how your parents are actually right at this moment... they're good?

  • Yes their good , but if i see something bad i relate it to my parents and if i dont pray or knock on wood i think something bad will happen to them.

  • i have ocd

  • My OCD is not bad but I don't think of mine as a or else I think of mine as a reward if I do it like if I check the lights 4 times something good will happen to me but sometimes the or else part comes to my mind

  • i can control it, its hard as fuck though

  • yea if u dont do that thing and its still in the back of my mind for like ages.

  • alot of avid skateboarders have ocd ... before you go to do a big trick down some stiars or a gap there all small things alot of skaters do like tap thhings count the steps on stairs or pop up the board into your hand over and over again until there readdy to do the trick

  • I have ocd and I skate and yeah theres a bunch of shit i have to do to clear my mind before doing the trick

  • thats called ritual

  • my son is 18 and he is diagnosed with ocd and he is going to get help this month!

  • i have ocd

  • Its not a bad thing, if you embrace it for its good parts you can be quite driven.....

  • my ocd became apperant when my dad left when i was seven -_-

  • 0:34 sooo true. NOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE OCD. i think i have a treatment for people who have OCD. nothing is gonna happen bad if you dont follow you're mind, dont always think you'll get sick if you dont wash you're hand everytime, and get use too it not following it. its just a sickness NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WRONG WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! FIGHT FOR YOU'RE LIVES!!!!!!!

  • tas45123 ones you get so far in you start to think that ether god hates you or ther is no god thats wear im gonna end up... i have OCD withe comunecation withe uther ppl i think to much ,, n sure you probably think thats nothin n a load of bullshit but its just a lil wurs than cleaning your hands afrend of jerms try fearing uther humans........

  • OCD has nothing to do with god. Im fifteen and have had OCD since I was about eight. Its not gods fault, he put us on this earth and its our fault we chose to be like this. And dont you are say I dont know what its like because it practically controlled 2/3rds of my childhood.

  • It's no one's fault that you have OCD, and God didn't do this to you or anyone else with OCD. You didn't chose to have this, no one does.

  • I was cured by praying to God. People that have OCD can be cured doing the same.

  • I have severe ocd and let me tell you its hell.. sometimes it makes me feel like life is not worth living.

  • Try what I told you since it works.

  • No fuck you. god isnt real you peice of shit.

  • Yeah , if he was he wouldn't have given me this fucking disease.

  • Have you really been in depth with OCD? When you get as deep as I am...it gets hard to believe in god.

  • I hear you man. I have a really bad obsession that I rather would not like to post. But it gets extremely hard ot believe in god after dealing with this bullshit. But I'm fighting.. for now.

  • ummm pooperh ....u think these vids are funny :O I have OCD and seeing people deal with this is not funny

  • That was sarcasm by the way people. I know some can't tell the difference between sarcasm and the side of a building.

  • like my unkle

  • i first showed signs of OCD when i was very young, i washed my hands very frequently and wouldnt even shake hands with family for fear of germs, but my family helped me get through it and i got over it rather quick. however, just last year i began showing other signs of OCD. by simply stopping the normal "ritual" that you do in order to calm your anxiety, you can make the symptoms less severe and even make them fade away, it just takes a sht load of effort and determination.

  • absolutly right, ive the ocd.......im 13.....and im even having trouble typing this message......

  • well, my ocd started when I was about twelve or thirteen, I'm 16 now. I feel like I can't end sentences with certain words... or else... and I have to think certain thoughts when I do certain things, and I always think something bad is going to happen to me at every moment possible. I have halted the ocd from growing anymore, now I am trying to fight it without medication. You must take care of this early because the longer you live with it the tougher it becomes to get rid of.

  • You have OCD man?

  • OCD is a horrible thing to have... Medication helps but you still have episodes... You only know what it is like if you have felt the empty feeling and fear. If you have ocd you will know life seems to stop and it never really seems to start up again until you get help and keep fighting it.

  • Holy shit I have been feeling this way for the past 9 years I would say and I always thought I was insane and alone but I literally just decided to finally look up my symptoms and this is one hundred percent it I could not be happier to know that there are others out there.

  • OCD drives you nuts. I have this for 9 years now and Im better with my medications and im more mature now but I had a really bad time last year, so tense that I almost didnt slept in 2 months!

  • good portrayal

  • I have OCD but you wouldnt really notice it.

    i control my compulsions by twitching XD
