Starting to think (perhaps realize would be a better word) I have an issue with OCPD.
I haven't seen anyone about it yet, hope to soon. A lot of the "symptoms" I have weren't necessarily obvious issues until I thought about them in the larger context. My mom has always described me as "anal" and "type a" person which I thought nothing of until I started really having trouble doing every day tasks where things can be outside my control or imperfect.
Its such a constant, never ending struggle. The reason we feel agitated is probrobly cause were so worried (subconcious or not) abt unimportant details tht non-ocpders ignore and instead have fun naturally which we r unable to do nearly as much. I consider ocpd a blessing and a curse. Mostly just a horrible curse.
thanks for making this one. i understand how you feel about OCPD.
I have learned i have this when i was in my psychiatry class last year. Our topic for that day was about personality disorders. I was in denial when i have noticed that almost all of the criteria for this disorder describes me. My classmates noticed it too and i somehow felt worthless because of it.
Right now, i have learned to accept that i have this personality disorder.
Great video, I wish I could tell people but I am afraid they will not understand and just ridicule me. I am afraid people will point and say that is the crazy guy.
im so glad i found this and i found out today i have OCPD!! :( .. people think i love miself becuase i have to look in the mirror like 50times aday.. shop windows , car windows, what ever show my reflection wil do. and if i see my hair out of place i feel ugly and i have to have it perfect. and no im not saying im good looking which i always get told i am and had to finish 3 relationships over it becuase i couldnt see what they see. :/ it really sucks having it tbh.
I spent the last 15 months working with a mental health team and have been diagnosed with OCPD. Reading all the info on it, it seems so obvious now and i feel relieved at the prospect of understanding. I look forward to a future of reduced anxiety and depression, but still wonder if social relationships will always be a struggle.
Thanks for taking the time to put personal info in the media on OCPD
For the one who tried to explain to your lover about it, i appreciate and proud of the trial. Try to search as many as possible sources and info's about OCPD and show them to your lover, so that it would be easier for you to explain. I hope she/he would understand. I tried this way and it worked enough. Besides I talked to psychologist when i thought i couldnt face it alone anymore. Goodluck for your trial. Hopefully things will be better.
(This is getting long, but bear with me) I always thought of it as the way life was. I never thought of it as a disorder. However, it affects my relationships with my friends because they notice when I am moody, or when I lash out at them for not following my rules of morality and social conduct. What I am trying to say is that it is quite hard to deal with just like other disorders, but I am very functional, warm, and vocal about how I feel so that people can get where I can coming from.
And i'm afraid of having close relationships because I do not want peoplr to see/know my imperfections. I try to explain this to my boyfriend, but he never gets it, ever. I worry about him not liking me, thinking i'm crazy, etc. I think I picked this sort of behaviour up from my mother. We are very similar, and she acts this way too. I also have tremendous emotional disturbances. I cry a lot, I am easily agitated, whereas, other times I am so happy I could fill the world with smiles.
This is quite accurate. The most accurate depiction i've seen so far. I am not diagnosed, but I am overly insight about my own chain of thought. I am quite the perfectionist, a huge procratinator, quite obssessed with doing things the right way, and I worry excessively. All this started when I went to university. I do not deal with change very well. Sometimes I don't eat for days, sometimes I get anal retentive. It's very weird. And the endless thoughts are the worst. I never stop thinking.
I have OCPD. I tried hiding and restraining myself when I want to put something right, I tried to focus on something else and told myself to prioritize. It didn't work. I had to tell my teacher about it when I couldn't stop myself repeating "It's not right" in at the end of his lesson. I don't want it to be an excuse for the way I behave, I don't want it to be part of me, I don't want this at all.
im no OCPD sufferer.. but this video got me to know more about this thing,, i can say this video changed the way i used to look at OCPD sufferers.. i highly recommend others to take a look. thanks alot to anothercreator for bringing this. waiting for more,, cheers
Dear people who commented on my video, thank you very much.
Just for info, I am now starting a new relationship with a guy and somehow I'm afraid if my OCPD symptoms would come back as I never want it.
I'm trying to control it as tough as I can, I need all you people supports.
God bless ya all.

And I noticed mistakes in my message that I want to correct, but I won't because it is not important. I just hope it is coherent enough. :)
