  • i tell u one thing about ocdians is that they r strong much enough in comparison to others to beat them in their aspects. I have ocd and i challenge u that it will be the hardest thing of ur life to beat an ocdian.

  • exposition is the key my friends... but be mentally prepared before you do it... it helps... suffered 2 years full of fight, tears, thoughts... it's becoming better throgh exposition... it's the key... things whicht dont kill you, makes you stronger!!!!

  • @Kyokushinkai92 What are you talking about? Expositioin to that we avoid? and what if you have to hurt people to face the problem? I mean, My OCD is not with things, it is with people, I can't stop looking at someone at a time and they kind of freak out. I can't stop thinking about it whenever I'm rounded by people and they all end up doing like similar... I wouldn't like to ruin anybody's life. So how can I front it without hurting people? I don't know what to do.

  • @Notmineonline my English is not really good. But I think I understand what you suffer from. Maybe just a little... If I learnt something from OCD it's that you can NEVER understand these feelings without having the same problem. Exposition in your key means perhaps NOT to look at people even though it's so hard to avoid. You have to stand the bad feelings and they will get better... trust me! It is so hard, but it kills you inside... you can just fight! It's hard... I hope I could help you...

  • @Kyokushinkai92 Thank You so much for your words. I've just moved to my hometown, I'm living with one of my sisters now and I don't know but it's helping me out because I grown with her so it's like a primitive trusting relationship that is helping me out to go through of all of this horrible -day by day- nightmare and just forget it one day. Even though you think it's impossible God will make it easier for you. He'll put things right so you can make it. Wish u the best with yours. God Bless U!!

  • you can visit ocdmesh.com to connect with other people that have ocd.. it's a new blog.. help it grow by following it! :)

  • The Best way to fight this according to me is to start becoming Brave and Positive about our thinking, behaviour in short Positive Attitude..........

  • i don't know if i have OCD and i'm scared to find out.... i have routines and if they don't go exactly as they're suppose to i freak out... i sit in a ball and whisper to myself... all the time i have these voices in my head telling me how everything must be done....i seperate my smaties and m&ms and eat the red first and i have an order in which the rest get eaten... i don't go visit my friends because i can't follow my routines and everything isn't exactly it is in my house.. help :(

  • @piXiegiwL I have OCD (I can't stand next to anybody without looking at them for no reason)... It has ruined my life... I can't even go to college because of my OCD, I can't work, I can't go out, can't make new friends (I only have some old friends since they were friends before this thing happened to me but I'm afraid they'll realize what is going on so I don't talk to them very often). I've tried to live in a Christian life but this is making it harder than I thought...

  • @Notmineonline it has ruined my life as well... i had hand washing, shower, fear of feces... the only way i could get rid of these things was to do the opposite of the "normal" reaction. 10 minutes for shower, not longer. once soap, thats enough. and a person next to me which controls me (well not by the shower) but i fought and i won. it has stolen 2 years in my young life... im fine now. small things which are still not okay but im fine! i dont know what to do with ocd-thouhgts...i am so sorry

  • i hate this illness it's tore my life apart

  • fellow ocd sufferer here. This week has been horrible:( especially at work. anyway hope you're doing better jenny. hugs for all of us ocd sufferers

  • Nice video, u have no idea what it meant for me to see this. It's just comforting to know I'm not alone. I have OCD & just lost my best friend to it. She said she can no longer be around me and is ashamed of me in public, & my level of OCD is not even that bad. Rationally she isn't a real friend if she can't accept me, but it still hurts.

  • Comment removed

  • OCD is not a life it's an existence - just making it through another day....... 

  • @Shane28771 i totally agree..

  • please someone save me from ocd

  • Never give up. Remember these are not real thoughts!  Video is so well done. Take care of each other

  • WE ALL OCDians ARE TOGETHER IN THIS...WE LIVE TOGETHER..WE DIE TOGETHER..AND WE WILL ALL COME OUT OF THIS TOGETHER SOON :)

  • Zolpidem (Ambien) hey. i am an ocd patient too...suffering one hell of anxiety. obsessins compulsions....there is a medicion Zolpidem (Ambien)..it called zolpidem in my country..its salt is ambien..for my brothers and sisters who are in various countries...it really relaxes and normalises u for some time...no medicine works for me like this..please try this..its an ordinary medicine for anxiety and sleeping but it really works...for those who need further help email me @ahmedjaved_45@yahoo.com

  • 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

  • It's not me, it's my OCD!

    never give up, keep fighting my friends, together we can make it through another day!

  • everyone thinks it's just rituals, but theres so much more involved in some cases

  • omg made me bawl, this video expresses it perfectly

    

  • Does anyone know the title of this song?

  • This video is beautiful. Who ever made it couldnt express what we have to go through everyday anymore than it already does.

  • This geniunely made me smile. Thank you xxx

  • He thinks ahead and he cann´t tell me everything, because sometimes he has anxiety about what he told me. We often cry together. Through it all I love him most in the world and I would never leave him in his misery. Feel free to tell your boyfriend / girlfriend about it. When he/she love you, he/she helps you and will be feel better. If you want, you will write me.

    Greetings from Slovakia.

  • My friend also has OCD. He didn´t know how to tell it to me, but he did it. I know that he is afraid that i break up with him, but I love him. He has very bad thoughts, visions and than anxiety. His OCD is based primarily on sex. He is ahead afraid that he will not be powerful. He then has a great anxiety. He also controls things, but he always tells it troubled him least. I keep telling him to tell me everything that troubled him. I think that person with OCD must talk about everything.

  • Reading good book by Frederick Toates and Dr Olga Coshug Toates called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Reading good book by Frederick Toates and Dr Olga Coshug Toates called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

  • I had problems. I did a full urine test and turned positive for strange substances. I believe my food was contaminated and I changed the place I ate and problems receded. Not saying everyone is the same.

    Prayer helps.

  • Go into bathroom or when alone vocalize the thoughts. By vocalizing the ping pong in head ends. Speak the thoughts loud and they will not return. Verify food or water for contamination.

  • Try Motrin or Tylenol for one week. See if OCD recedes. Also fish oil can help. Lemon once a week brings optimism.

  • listen to Paul Waters on my page, he was on A & E Obsessed, his song Monstor is on my page, its about OCD and Anxiety ####

  • you just got to stay in the 'fire', until the obsessions burn themselves up.

  • I do not like red color...It has an irritating effect on me. Nevertheless, the video is great. Many people have this condition. Our brain tends to get produce many unwanted behaviors. However, people with OCD are not helpless. There are some great therapies available, such as the one on solutiontherapiesonline. -c-o-m.

  • OCD is a real bitch. No one can understand it who hasn't had it. I had it for about 10 years. It's hell. If you have a problem just know it can get better but doesn't always. Read Brain Lock. Even if you have a hard time implementing things you will feel a huge sense of relief at least reading about other people who have gone through OCD. this book really took a weight off my chest, even though my OCD just kinda went away years later.

  • For me it showed me that the source of all my suffering was in my beliefs.I was buying into a thought that i could tell was nt true for me cause it caused me to suffer whenever i bought into it.Keep asking y & u will end up at the same place.You have a belief about something & until u challenge this belief & change it you will continue 2 suffer. U need 2 see the tiger as a rabbitt & dis arm ur fight/flight response.

  • drawn to them.I,m talkin ur thoughts drawing things to yourself NOT to others... for all the fellow pure O,s that were just about 2 slash their wrists.haha.Yet the empowering thing is it works both ways for fear and joy.We do fear easily Joy is harder to muster but way more magnetic.When u feel on top everything starts workin for u. Anyhoo what i,m tryin to convey in this message is that we ocd ers have been given a gift to..once understood..make our lives better not worse.

  • Listen up friends.Heres the good news you,ve been waiting for. There are no accidents in this world.If you have ocd there is a gift in it, a gift you could nt ve got without it. If your like me it forces u to look at your beliefs & to challenge them.It can show u the attraction power of whatever u put ur attention on,whatever u say yes to.No one knows the law of attraction better than an ocd er.If they r afraid of anything it will be in their face constantly.What they fear will appear and be ...

  • I have o.c.d. And i have a boyfriend, he has no idea that i have it. and im afraid to tell him. wen i waz younger i had the handwashing thing bad, n wen i walked i watched my every step. n i checked 2 c if my door is like all the time. its like a routine.

  • @Rae21896 -Hey i've had OCD for 6 years and now that I'm finally cured I am determined to help people who went through the pain and suffering too. It was hell and I know exactly what your feeling. I was in the same situation and was really scared to tell my boyfriend but one day I just finally did..and it took some explaining..but as we both know there is only so much we can explain because we don't get it either. But he understood that I was having a difficult time and was willing to help.

  • @Kjldancer thanks for the advice. n i wanna tell him its just that idk how he's gonna act towards, me like cause hes a nice guy and very sweet, but at the same time he could change just by me telling him. but i think i should tell him anyways. maybe it'll make me feel better, n hopefully he would understand....

  • @Rae21896 I personally think you should..because your OCD is a part of who you are right now and if he cant accept that..then he maybe isn't the right guy..ya know? Plus it lifts a huge weight off your shoulders when you tell someone because you dont feel like your hiding it anymore. Best of Luck :)

  • I have o.c.d. And i have a boyfriend, he has no idea that i have it. and im affraid if i tell him. wen i waz younger i had the handwashing thing bad, n wen i walked i watched my every step. n i checked 2 c if my door is like all the time. its like a routine.

  • thank you

  • i've always had it, but last year it just went away and was so weak and i was happy, now i'm having it for the last three weeks so badly, while i'm writing this i'm thinking bout my ocd and how i could do it better. I cry everyday because my ocd is so bad in the shower. I talk to myself saying 'stop, stop' because it just doesn't let me go. I'm losing my mind and i don't know what to do. I want to confront it and say stop, its stupid, but i'm so scared/

  • @x7Miracles7x Hey, I understand how you feel! I got really depresses because of how bad my OCD was. For the longest it had turned my life into a living nightmare, and it felt like it was destroying me. I know it can be very difficult to deal with, but just hang in there and have hope that it will get better! :)

  • @x7Miracles7x

    Get medical help..it honestly helps. Therapy is what cured me and I had it terribly too.

  • I have OCD too.

    Greets from Germany

  • We love you! don't give up !

  • I found this video to be such a real view on the depths of OCD and that it can intrude on your every thought and feeling. That it's not just nagging thoughts for some unfortunately

  • Love this vid. OCD is a constant battle with meds without meds you just have to keep fighting this bully called OCD. Don't let the bully OCD win. As someone posted earlier keep fighting.

  • I had a religious epiphany a couple years after a recovered from having OCD.

    All of a sudden I felt the presense of God. His presense was so strong.

    I felt all his love go through me. That was when I knew, I was going to be all right.

    I have had several other religious epiphanies after that. I know that God is with me and that if you just open your eyes, you will feel his warm, wise, loving presense.

  • @911FANGS

    Sometimes I would put my head down on the pillow and I would listen. I would try to understand the muffled conversations of the voices. But, no one was there.

    During those years, I hid within myself, not knowing what was going on. I felt distant from all those around me. And I felt alone. I also felt isolated from God.

    But, eventually I slowly began to recover. Now, I am fine. I am 13 years old.

    A couple years after I recovered I had an epiphany.

  • I used to have OCD. It lasted for a few years. Those were the darkest, saddest, scariest, years of my life. I still remember curled up at the end of my bed, in the dark, by myself, crying silently.

    I couldn't control my thoughts. I felt as if I didn't do certain things I would lose my spirit.

    I was rarely ever happy and no one knew what I was going through, because I was too afraid to speak. The sadness, anxiety, and fear got so bad, that sometimes I thought I heard people whispering.

  • Incredible video; i've had OCD since i was a little boy and it is tormenting. Even now its hard for me to do anything, without thinking something will happen when in reality nothing will. this video almost made me cry.

    -----BATTLE THROUGH THE PAIN------

  • Brought a tear to my eye ='( Everyone keep fighting it! It is certainly hard, but it will get better!

  • I have OCD. I got better without medication. I used CBT and evoke and response prevention and I had to work at it everyday. When it was at its worst it was terrible. I really thought I was not going to survive. Right now I'm OK. I barely have to work at it at all. But it's always out there, waiting, and I really don't know when/if it will ever come back. Good Luck to all the Sufferers. Remember - Bring it On should be your mantra!

  • Please check out my channel. I used to suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, ocd and agarophobia. I no longer suffer or go through any of it. I have my testimony on how I overcame it all in "my uploads" section on my channel. Please see it...you can be saved from it with no meds, no paying for any "techinique" or paying for anything. It's not a sales strategy...it's my true story. Care about you,

    Anita

  • that was a great video. made me cry, its hard when the people around you dont understand what your going through.

  • i have OCD.. but looks like you have it alot worse than me.. I get irritated sometimes because i gotta to something over and over.. but thats all :p im mostly a happy happy guy

  • Very good video! Geez, I should show this to some of the stupid non-believers who call me things like "germ freak". DX Some people just don't take OCD seriously...

  • Thanks for sharing your story Jenny.

  • I was mostly Obsessive in the beginning... but now, it's pretty much Compulsive. I do take medication for it, though... so it's not as bad as it can be.

    People just think that it's all hand washing.... if they would only look things up before they judge, they would know.

    When I was off of my medication, I just felt depressed... didn't want to do anything, just felt like I was going to lose it.

    Keep strong everyone.

  • Wow, every derpressed person on youtube seem to have this song in their pain-videos. 

  • @kattmat

    Who says I'm depressed? :)

    Do you not understand why people like this song so much? It helps them realize they aren't alone in what they struggle with. I think it's better to be honest about your problems, even if it's embarrasing, than to hide them and shun people for it.

    That doesn't help anything.

    If you meant nothing by your comment, then forgive me for assuming.

  • this is a really great video i have suffered OCD since i was around 12 i am now 23 it gets really good sometimes and i actually feel normarl but then out of no where it comes back really bad all i can say is if you are on medication take your tablets regulary and dont just stop taking them as i have done that and it came back really really bad stay strong guys we are tough

  • Just imagine , you wake up in the morning and it's allll gone .

    hum .

    I'm feeling better already :)

  • I also have OCD. My OCD is pure O type. One thing I wanted to say is to never give up fighting. I have now started a radio program teaching others what I have learned through my years of struggle. This is a great video! Stay strong everyone!

  • thanks for this video. i suffer of OCD and very often people looks to this disturb watching only the repetitive comportaments, while inside of us there is a real black hole... a real world of conflicting emotions... a big void

  • I like the picture at 3:11.

    It explains exactly how I feel when my I am stuck in my ocd worrying. haha

    Except I know now it is not hopeless. The only hopeless thing is to let it keep getting to you cause it won't ease your worries to try and fix it by giving in.

  • I have OCD. I can't stop checking things. I check the door, the stove, and the coffee pot. I check everything. It's hard to leave the house. It's also hard to go to sleep. The hardest thing, though, is coming up with a reason. How can you explain to others what you can't rationalize to yourself? That's why your video is so important. It lets the novice realize the seriousness of the problem. God bless you for this video. Take it easy.

  • @raybradhausen I have the same problem here. i constintly check the things in my room to see if there "perfect the way i need them" i cant stand it anymore

  • You go girl! I have this too. You can do it. I'm an eleven year old girl and I found peace through family, swinging and BJD stop motion. I got through it now. :)

  • I completely empathize with you. I have OCD too and It is hell. I have had it as long as I can remember. It even pushed me into anorexia which is another battle all it;s own. I have OCD extremely bad as I am sure you do. You ever need to talk I am here. I know people that don't have it cannot even begin to understand the consuming hell of it.

  • I too have OCD and dont understand but every day I fight....

  • Im sick of fighting, I want to win. Ive had OCD all my life, and just last week realized it. I thought it was depression, anxiety, bad social skills, perfectionism, but in my mind I couldnt admit that it was OCD. I felt that people with OCD were stalkers, or creeps. This week has been another roller coaster ride of my life. and I want to appologize to myself, and to you all who share this with me, for thinking these thoughts about OCD.

  • i have ocd, but its not so bad right now... but when it is bad, it consumes all energy i have, and it tears me down physically, mentally and emotionally...

    its always helpful when i know there are others who understand what i am going through

  • I think having someone that understands you helps alot .you won't feel alone through all this .

  • Pills do work. There is also a good therapy on solutiontherapiesonline. -c-o-m

  • @Augustsum

    I do not take pills. I want to fight.........on my own.

    Keep on going, people.

  • My OCD is where I think everything is for a cause. My whole life is surrounded by that. My thoughts believe I control everything. When I was smaller, it would be little. Like if I didn't move this object in the right position, I will be haunted. Suffer great depression. It still occur to this day. I do want this to go away, but I don't know how to. I want to just scream, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • @UnSurrealProductions I rated up, not because I think it's a good thing at all, but that I agree, and understand.

  • @ElleWantsTheHorizon I understand. It's really sad OCD even exist.

  • @UnSurrealProductions it is. I suffer from it too, it's slowly taking over my life.

  • Never Give up.

    love the song by the way .

  • Never Give up.

    love the song by the way .

  • Never Give up.

    love the song by the way .

  • Never Give up , Never ...

  • hey guys, how have you been doing? today i feel a little bit worse :-( but all your coments make me feel much better!

  • @jennyjohntom Never Give up.

    love the song by the way .

  • Keep fighting, you'll be stronger each day...

  • Thank you

  • I have OCD and im just tired of everyone thinking its a joke. and its not a big deal. it makes like hell. i cant living hard to get through...

  • i have ocd to and sometimes i dont know what to do i feel so completely confused and alone because no1 know how i feel so they abandond me. =(

  • Thanks - bad few days again (your vids my shoulder)

  • Anxiety really messed up my life. It basically started about a year and a half ago. I had severe anxiety, (mainly generalized anxiety disorder, and some symptoms of OCD) which just persisted. I later on isolated myself and developed severe depression, and became really paranoia. I've been in psych ward, and I feel like my life's a mess. It's robbed me of my sanity, well being, academics, friendship etc. Been on so many meds nothing really helped me. Life just ain't worth living with anxiety.....

  • You have to cling to the truth and remind yourself that there is more happiness and life than the anxiety's that overwhelm you. There is always a way to get through them. Hang in there! If you want to talk (Or anyone) more, you can message me. I will try to help more with my own experiences with ocd/anxiety. :)

  • @InkRoze I know but when you feel like this for a long time, it's very difficult to know what's actually happening in this world. You feel isolated in your own world.

  • I have symptoms similar to OCD, but it's aspergers syndrome ( I've had since i was a kid). I also have an anxiety disorder (mainly generalized anxiety disorder), severe depression, and paranoia. It's really took over my life. I used to be a normal person, till about a year in a half when I hit full blown anxiety, and still suffer from it till this day. I used to be the smartest, and now I struggle just to go to school, and have been hospitalized, and I just feel like my life's a mess............

  • Hey, i'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your anxiety's, I hope things start getting better for you. I know how bad it can be, I have it and I can relate to your previous comment. It's hard not to let anxiety and OCD get to you, I've let my ocd control me and I isolated myself from others, but it doesn't help because your only allowing yourself to believe what is false.

  • Hope i dont have it!

    If i do, it it stays fairly normal.

  • i felt that video i suffer with what i think is ocd and there will be days were am quite happy but then also days were i am the lowest you could be i actualy was teary watchin that its bad when it takes over your life and your worried u lose everything you have jobs relationships friends family letting my thoughts of intrude my head and make me not be able to cope wiht every day life makes me feel worthless am just lucky i have sum1 that stands by me its nice noing that u arent alone

  • any who say those who give into OCD rituals are weak is what i meant to say.

    They dont know how hard it is for some ppl.

    Ive been dealing with it 10 or so years around there and its only getting worse, every last bit of happiness in my life is swallowed up i wouldnt care too much at all if some1 busted down my door right down and shot me in the face.

    For me death is the only real relief, thats my reality and my ocd. so to those who say its not bad, it is for some ppl and extremely harsh

  • I have OCD but i think its a lot worse than some ppl have it Anyone who says people who give into OCD rituals etc are very naive. They dont know what OCD is like and they should just stfu and find something where they might have a clue The people who say they have OCD and its not that bad dont have severe OCD like many ppl or just like to think they have OCD many ppl like to categorize themselves as OCD sufferers

    I dont recall last time i was happy

    pretty much every day i want to die

    fun isnt it

  • I have it

  • I have Pure O and it sucks 300mg of Fluvoxamine and 750mg of depakote is getting old meds dont work and CBT is not working as well. my doc is weeing me off Klonopin was on 1mg a day as of today only on .25mg been on it for 7 months and going through with drawls all we can do is try to fight it. Only people with Pure O or OCD understand our fight

  • Hello, I hope you know you are helping a lot of  people to feel like they are not alone in this.

    I also have OCD and it is very overwhelming.

    Thank you for the beautiful video.

    Kelly

  • whats that song called and whos it by?

  • chrispanama is right, that's what I do too. The first time it's hard but after you see that nothing bad happens it gets so much easier.

  • ocd ranges on such a large scale. to post something like that is so utterly rude, you obviously dont suffer as much as others who have it. some check or wash from fear of germs etc, which can range from relatively minor to extremely distressing, others have constant distressing urges and thoughts that feel so unbearably real 24/7. no sleep, no time for relaxation. it ranges so greatly that soon the dsm-iv criteria will possibly be changed because people's symptoms vary so much

  • uhhhh, i have ocd and i don't cry about it,..

  • great video, thank you for this!

    i'm crying cause i'm ocd too..

    & then crying double 'cause i also suffer from an eating disorder..

  • The fact that I am diagnosed with autism makes me happy most of the time. The fact that I am diagnosed with OCD makes me feel so ashamed. I love watching videos of people with autism. I think there are a lot of pluses to the condition. I don't do much research on OCD because it makes me feel so bad.

  • happy new year to all of you!!

  • @jennyjohntom Happy New Year to you too! Hope you're doing well! :)

  • Fuck ocd i wont let it build up inside of me !

  • im crying because i have these obsessive compulsive problems too..

  • Man A LOT of people have ocd. And i've read a study that the human race is evolving in terms of intellectuality, which is resulting in an increase in the number of people with ocd! A lot of famous actors and celebrities have it, including some who have not admitted. Someone needs to come up with a cure!

  • I've been with this shit for more than 10 years and now finally thanks to an OCD specialist I know how to get rid of it. If your brain comes up with doing a ritual for something bad not to happen... tell your brain "you know what, LET IT HAPPEN!" it's going to be hard as hell, but eventually that OCD variation disappears. This is the solution for this variation, and I have had more than 20 hard as hell variations, I've solved almost all of them.

  • Hi! I have a friend with OCD. We live in russia and we have a very small amount of OCD specislists. my friend is using antidepressants at the moment, but it doesn't help. she is still washing.. everything. it is hell. he husband is near this hell, and depressed too. can you advise smth?

  • @uranus1996 you can't cure ocd, you're born with it :\

  • i know exactly how you feel im with you ... good video

  • I know how it feels :( It sucks. I wish You good luck and I'm with You !

  • i have had ocd since i was like 10? and i'm 13 and its gets better and worse. I mean i know how it feels. They come and go but its so hard. When it doesn't go your way it feels like someone is killing you and when you can't do it it feels like someone is hurting someone you love and you can't do anything, when you finally do what you have to do your physically exhausted and you feel like it goes away but it just comes again. I can't even go to sleep without checking if there are spiders.

  • this is a post for everyone who has it, once i was told i was weak when i give into my ocd, i just want to say...someone who fights their way though each day, had to fight themself and still makes it in life isnt weak were fighters, so stand tall

  • THANK YOU....this was so helpful...everyone do keep fighting for what you want freedom from this!!!!

  • thanks to you for watching it!be strong!

  • I've been doing very well for a long time but all of a sudden today I'm having it rough. I'm working through it, though. I've done it before and I can do it again. :) Keep fighting, everyone.

  • all my childhood and teenage years i was completely crippled like literally, thanks for making the video makes me see there are others that suffer. it can get a bit better but it never goes away!

  • I am on the buttom right now... my ocd has never been worse. i really don't see a reason to live anymore. The obsessions are taking over, they're controlling everything I do. My eyes are all teary, and I'm shaking. If someone.. anyone, has got advises for me, please speak. I don't know how muh longer i can keep up with this.

  • @TotgeliebtInBill

    What kind of OCD do you have most?

    Whatever it may be, you can get through it. Don't ever let go of life. Everyone has problems they go through and have to deal with, but with it there is always a way to overcome whatever each person is dealing with. There's so much to life that is worth getting through the bad to be there. It's better to encourage yourself before it gets really bad so that you'll be able to do better when it does. :)

  • I'm going through a really bad phase of my OCD right now too. They are in everything I do not just something like checking locks I can't even read or do anything at all without it being an endless battle throughout the day and tomorrow. Research and look up some things to help you if you haven't already. There are people suffering like you are too so your not alone. I'm shaking at this moment maybe because the emotions r powerful typing this

    Good luck you can make it and you should know that too

  • go and get therapy for your ocd, i had ocd for over 30yrs and i am rid of it now,dont give up hope act as soon as u can.

  • how old are you? i have suffered severely for nearly 20 years, i am 21 now and i am finally the best i have been. i feel for you, if you want to chat please do. i can't stand thinking your in the pain your in. what sought of things do you have?

  • im 22, my ocd started when i was 8. I don´t know why...now my ocd is worse, just when i started to think it was about to dissapear. But it´s ok, im fighting and im not gonna give up

  • don't give up! i had it for years now, i know it can be horrible, but try to enjoy little everyday things: watch the sky and go in nature...

  • please, don´t give up!im running through a bad time too with my ocd...sometimes it´s soo hard that i lose all my hopes, but i know that my only enemy is my own fear. Without fear, there´s peace and with peace you´ll win the battle

  • Possibly the perfect song choice. Thanks a lot I also have OCD. It helps to think when your struggling that at that very moment at least one person if not many are struggling at the same time perhaps with the same thing. Then you say this is for that person suffering as well and it helps to cope and get through the suffering.Take inspiration from whatever you can such as music like this it helps, temporary relief at least.

    Good luck to all who had, will have, or do have OCD. Thanks for the vid.

  • good luck to you too!:-) remember: we are all fighters

  • I understand!

  • Things to remind yourself when your OCD gets bad:

    556 comments and 74,869 views.

    "There is no problem that's not uncommon to man."

    You have to tell yourself that it's OCD and just smile and laugh at it.

    That helps you feel better and realize theres no real need to do something about your OCD to make it go away.

    The harder you fight it, the worse it gets.

    Especially if it's really bad thoughts, but it's the ocd and it's unwanted. So tell yourself that and cling to the truth. ♥

  • @InkRoze i feal it for ya man

  • hah im now ocd. I'm telling you guys the grass is greener on the other side. if anyone has any specific questions on ocd like some ways to stop it. just message me.

  • Great Video !! Very talented !

  • In 40 days you'll see relief. This is how I have been cured so if you grow tired of OCD do that. Stop also reducing smoking and alcohol in taking until you can get rid of them.

  • Don't take medication unless prescribed by a doctor. It can be very dangerous, even deadly. The Lord Jesus is there, good will come from suffering.

  • feals a lil better to know im not the only one

  • yeah me too

  • Beautiful video, I struggle with this everyday too

  • This video is wonderful! I love the song, and the pictures really fit. I have struggled with OCD. This video brought tears to my eyes. It really makes we want to reach out to people with mental illness/disorders, etc. Thanks so much for this amazing video!

    We should never give up hope, as your video's song states. Together we can change the world. We are loved. Many people struggle. But now more is known about OCD and treatments for OCD.

  • I have (H)OCD and if any one doesn't know what it is than just go and research it. I used to be a normal 14yr old now each day since december has been full of reocurring thoughts of "What if im this" or blah blah. I feel it may never be curable it distracts me so often. I just feel like commiting suicide. Can I never have somthing go right in my life? I'm tired of being the one who always has to go to the doctor or gets sick all the time or never gets anything good out of life.

  • Are you religious by any chance? or your family?
