What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Dr. Tolin explains.

[TehLawnmowerMan]

I have OCD. I don't like dirty dishes, dust, prescription and over the counter medication, certain types of food, certain types of clothes, work uniforms (I could never wear one), and a few other things I can't think of. What are you OCD about?

[SepherStar]

These people act like he's explaining rocket science. LOL

[wadrytomte]

Ocd friends, come and talk to us other sufferers on MapOfMates :)

[Ilovescrubs99]

He is just giving an example. If you would watch the show some of you may know they have a pretty wide range of ocd fears on the show, including a lot of mental rituals and magical thinking. GEESH. Grow up!

[theelf97]

What is this arsehole on aout? Theelf97 explains.

Alarm: Dr. Tolin speaking.

Obsession:The thought of punching Dr. Tolin in the face.

Compulsion:Actually punching Dr. Tolin in the face.

And there you have it. My thoughts about this wrapped up in a nice, violent youtube comment :)

[Ilovescrubs99]

Its the OCD project. it is episode 2 season 1 

[Verification11]

dude wheres the second part, it's very helpful :(

where can i find the rest, can someone please tell me?

[purpleloover]

@Verification11 just type OCD project part 1... then you are all set, but the uploader is a troll haha he/she doesn't post everything till the end.... he/she stops at part 6 :((((

[Ilovescrubs99]

Joshuapratt6, he was giving an example. i think that the person in this show knows what ocd is. If you watched the show you may know that. Although, yes, I agree, without having ocd you can never fully understand. But, he has not really said anything that states he doesnt understand.

[rosemarykelley100]

clearly in a 2 minute clip no one would be fully able to understand OCD or any disorder for that matter. This program aired on VH1 channel for Pete's sake! Are you really going to learn any thing in-depth on a channel called "video hits 1"?????

[TAPFOLKS50]

i need help with ocd, but i dont do rituals like count or touch things, its all in my mine, i have to say stuff in my mind to take out the stress, and if i think someone heard me say the ritual i think dat person wont talk to me for the rest of my life or wont be my friend again and when i overcome a obsession another one just pops out my head and i could ignore but it doesnt go away

[joneselius]

@TAPFOLKS50 It's pretty much all mental. These symptoms are unbelievably mild symptoms. It's so stupid. I'd kill for these symptoms.

[thewalkingburrito]

I think one of the main things is that if youre going to stop a compulsion you have to end it feeling complete

[yoyoyo761]

i have ocd but only about shit being neat and tidy and shit

[auburncutie86]

@MrOurKid There are two subgroups of OCD. one is those diagnosed at 10-12 and the other is those diagnosed at 18-20. The younger group is thought to be more genetically based and harder to treat. As terrible as this disorder is, you are in the better subgroup, my friend. I would advise you to look into CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral therapy) if you haven't already. Hope this helps :-)

[auburncutie86]

@MrOurkid I was diagnosed with OCD at 10 years old and I was exibiting OCD symptoms I could have had no knowledge of like they were out of a text book. Luckily, my mother's friend was reading a book called "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing" and she told my mom about it after hearing about my fears (I was afraid if any handicapped people at my school touched me or I touched something they touched I would become handicapped myself) and I started therapy and medication.

[joshuapratt6]

Bullshit you dumb motherfucker. Ocd is not all about getting illnesses and being cautious about getting infections by touching an object. People that do not have ocd will never be able to understand what it is like. It is far more complex than what had been described in the video.

[joneselius]

@joshuapratt6 That's so true. It's about 99.9% mental. I have it and I have ZERO rituals. NONE. Only mental ones. I have one of the most severe cases of it fucking ever. In the history of ever. People misunderstand OCD too much, and it shows as soon as they open their ignorant fucking mouths. It annoys me so much. These people have NO idea what it's like. None.

[channelin]

@joshuapratt6 great reply

[Verification11]

@joshuapratt6 watch the full series and u will say otherwise, i have ocd and the show is awesome.

just type the ocd project part 1

[PeaceLoveMusicNoDuh]

Do I have OCD? Eveytime I tell myself to count till 10 or do something and If I don't that that thing something bad(everytime it's something else) will happen? Do I have OCD? /:

[spencer6800]

@PeaceLoveMusicNoDuh yuppers! Not very fun is it?

[karahershey]

yes but i feel

[Number1Productionz]

that one girl was pissed

[YourGamesAndMusic]

I always have the Same thoughts over and over again, I also always have to evaluate things after they've happened plus some things too.

[TheDrummerkid770]

@LPdedicated how should I tell my best friend I have ocd? I just told people about like a month ago and so I need some advice

[TheDrummerkid770]

I've had OCD since I was 10 :( I hate when people always assume OCD has to deal with germs! I have never had that fear ever! I touch my hair constantly, and I know that's another common one, and there are other common ones too. But the media just wants to exploit the strangest part of any disorder, and it's stupid that they do that

[justcheer19]

This show really helped me understand my ocd

[Subnoize6969]

OH GOD I NEED THIS SO BADLY!!! This is an amazing idea and the people that were fortunate enough to get on here are REALLY lucky.

[spikeman23]

I've been dealing with ocd since i was 15. It's not fun

[dantedraco]

I disagree that words don't work. My wife has been talking me through my OCD with rational explanations for years now, and I can lick the floor if I had to. The germ and chemical phobias I used to have are all but gone.

[karlisch32]

Hes a great doctor and explains it really good. I have ocd and trust me.. It isnt fun at all:(

[Bandtx]

lol after watching this show i think i have ocd, they do things that i would never do in my life! One of them had to wipe bread or something all over the toilet seat and INSIDE the bowl then eat it they even dipped the freaking bread in the water and ate it. I would never do that in like 100 years!

[15gmarpozan]

@CMonroe427

I know exactly what you mean. I have a very mild example fo OCD, but my obsessions have nothing to do with germs. For example, I HATE bent paper. If my teacher hands me a piece of paper thatr has a timy little crease in it, I have to work really hard not to gasp and kindly ask her for another one. The kids in my class are ok, with it, and they dont find me weird (which I thank god), but still, I want to overcome the fear and actually be able to "live a normal life", so to speak

[CMonroe427]

It sucks every freakin OCD video I watch is always about freakin germs, I need help with OCD that isn't about germs I'm 19 and I've had OCD for about 7 years now and as years go by I start developing new problems and new obsessions

I wish I could go through one day without having to deal with it and I fight it all the time I've found ways for myself to deal with it but OCD finds new ways to make things harder then they have to be

[puppyluv1015]

i feel diffrent knoe i wish i didnt have ocd its hard to watch this when u knoe ur not a normal person!!:( and im 12 years old i dont feel normal

[COoKieSnConVerSe]

@puppyluv1015 me too, im 12 and i have bad ocd and i cant tell anyone :(

[LPdedicated]

@COoKieSnConVerSe Why can't you tell anyone? I hope you don't feel ashamed of it. I had really bad OCD and until I was 15 I had no idea OCD existed and I was afraid of telling anyone because I thought they'd think I was crazy. But when I found out there were thousands of people like me it was a HUGE relief. And besides, you just told us :) Don't be scared! Know that you're not crazy at all, it's just something you can't help doing.

[LPdedicated]

@COoKieSnConVerSe So, whenever you're ready, tell someone you trust and feel safe around, and maybe explain it to them as good as you can, if they don't know what it is. I know it's a big step and it may seem like a lot when you're so young. But the fact that you know what it is, and that you're acknowledging it at your age is very admirable and brave! Believe me, I wish I was like you at 12 years old! Telling someone and getting help is the best thing you'll ever do to yourself! :)

[LPdedicated]

@COoKieSnConVerSe (continued - this is the last one, I promise! ;)) By the way, I'm 21 now, and I haven't felt most of my symptoms in years. Sure there are rare times they pop up, but it's mild and I've learned to control it. It's a major relief, and I hope you (and anyone with the same problem) will read and consider this - please, don't feel any pressure. Remember - whenever YOU are ready! I wish you the best of luck..! :)

[COoKieSnConVerSe]

@LPdedicated thanks so much for the comments, they made me remember that there are other people like me and that i need to tell someone.. thanks :)

[LPdedicated]

@COoKieSnConVerSe You're welcome! I'm very glad I could help! :)

[TheMagicPin]

I used to have a bit of a kind of OCD thing, then I tried this type of treatment on myself, worked fine.

[Gowalum]

In my case, I am not downplaying exposure response therapy at all, my obsessions start with something real "I want to go to a Catholic high school" or "I want to be friends with this person". Therefore, while I have OCD the things I get obsessed about are much more realistic then in the majority of cases of OCD. I have OCD mixed in with Generalized Anxiety Disorder which is the primary disabling thing in my life. Therefore, cognitive behavior therapy is what helps me the most.

[WATSONMUTH]

OCD=COD

i have ocd, i understand how not doing the ritual can make you feel very very uneasy. i had it very very bad a few years ago, now it's started to come back, but doing what i can to stop it, without meds.

[theAPgirl0427]

@YESHUAISMERCIFUL same. I refuse to take medication for it but my anxiety levels get so high if I don't do my rituals.

[MrUnknownPaper]

I am like this for a lot of things...it's not as annoying as people make it seem.

He's gona be a "hands on" kind of guy, that's what these people need agressive therapy in order to really see results. This is gona be a realyl good show

[kerii57]

@atlasshrugged2u fuck you di,b add

[atlasshrugged2u]

@kerii57 LOL!! OK...I can see you have major problems. Maybe you ought to write to the show and get YOURSELF some help LOL!!

Unbelievable...

[kerii57]

@atlasshrugged2u the way you wash yer hands nd jack off 20 hours a day (the other 4 hours are sleeping, shitting, pissing, eating) is UN FUCKING BELIEVEABLE. i hate you o.c.d. people cuz its alllllllllllllllll for attention . you selfish bitch you need counsling. 99.999999999% of ppl who say they have OCD are neat freaks (more of freaks) and i know for a fact you dont have ocd cuz youd be doing yer rituals, washing yer hands, and jacking off, not looking at OCD PROJECT vids what is wrong wit yu?

[atlasshrugged2u]

@kerii57 You got serious problems. I WOULD SEEK HELP ASAP If I were you (Thank God I'm not) but you need help sweetie. Here's a big fat hug for ya ok?...There you go. You'll be alright.

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

@YESHUAISMERCIFUL No but i can say FUCKK YOU!!

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

@kerii57 lol yea like capital letters are so hurtful and scary. grow up please.

[kerii57]

@atlasshrugged2u YOU SHOULD BE DOING YOUR RITUALS RIGHT NOW WHY ARE YOU ON MOTHER FUCKING/SUCKING YOUTUBE???????????????????????­?????????

[camden1981]

@atlasshrugged2u @kerii57 is a dipshit

[camden1981]

@atlasshrugged2u I meant kerii57 is a dipshit NOT U 

[atlasshrugged2u]

@camden1981 Oh Ok I was about to say?

I didn't understand why so much hostility was directed towards me. Thanks for clearing that up babe. Take care (smile)

[theAPgirl0427]

@atlasshrugged2u We don't need prayers. It's nothing bad. I have OCD and ya it can effect your life if you let it but you don't need aggressive therapy to deal with it. Everyone deals with it differently.

[atlasshrugged2u]

@theAPgirl0427 Everybody needs prayers (smile) If you don't want them then that's something different.

You make total sense though about everyone handling it differently. Some will need this kind of aggressive therapy, and some will have to go at a slower pace.

So I hear ya. Take care

[IggyIrons]

@atlasshrugged2u Prayers have never worked, never work, and never will work. At least not above the placebo you get if you believe that bs.

[atlasshrugged2u]

@IggyIrons They work for me dude (prayers)...Sorry your faith is not there; I hope some day it will be. But you sound hostile, and usually with that attitude "nothing" will work...Good luck!

[IggyIrons]

@atlasshrugged2u Don't worry, it won't. :)

[atlasshrugged2u]

@IggyIrons Oh I'm not worried hun; I already know your type. There's a deeper issue and that's cool you know...I mean I don't know you and really don't care to judge (how can I when I'm human like you) but you see the "proverbial glass as half empty, not half full" Given what youv'e been through I understand; but that's you, yup.

[IggyIrons]

@atlasshrugged2u Also, think about this: If god is omnipotent and omniscient, entailing that he knows the future and "his plan" in advance, who are you to try and change that plan which god knows that will happen? And if healing you is already in his plan, because remember, this is simple logic and I'm assuming he is omniscient, why bother praying at all?

[atlasshrugged2u]

@IggyIrons Good question! In the bible it gives examples of God actually changing his mind in lew of prayer and the power of it. You can "reason" with God; things are not that black and white (most things are) but "some" things can be negotiated even with the Almighty!! It's a relationship, not a dictatorship contrary to what people may think. You just have to get to a place to where you acknowledge God; and respect his authority, which is what most people have a problem with. Your not alone :)

[IggyIrons]

@atlasshrugged2u You just admitted, in your comment, that god isn't omniscient. If he changed his mind, he would've known about it in advance, therefore, not sincere. Also, I've read the bible, from cover to cover. It was

[IggyIrons]

@atlasshrugged2u ...all I needed to convince myself that it is in fact an immoral dictatoriship. Just my opinion, though..

[tsdiggs78]

i love this dr

[kerii57]

@tsdiggs78 so fuck him in the ass hole
