yes i love tom as much as the next girl, but this is a serious video about a condition he lives with, please be a little respectful
eve !! yeah i agree. comments like “he can touch me” and “love him” whatever are fine but this isn’t really the place. it’s a mental health issue at the end of the day
Chloe Smith I know it’s actually disgusting
Oh i never knew he suffered with OCD, it something we have in common ! I love Tom such a positive man
It’s so nice to relate with what’s someone’s is saying with OCD
Oh my god, I love him 😍
Katie Harrod I mean he’s like 35 so bit old for u

We all need Tom.
Yes!!! 😊🤩
where can we find some he seem like such a gentleman
excellent advice, don’t feed it
I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 14, it can get really bad sometimes
Sasha 2002 me too I was diagnosed at the age of 10 years old and I’m now 16 and it got worse but will get better at times
Diagnosed at 15, it does get hard but you need to remember to ignore it and don’t feed it.
I got diagnosed I was five....I’m 18 now
Anyone from after the start of season 6?

I suffer from OCD as well and it can get really really hard. I've had it since 2015 and despite getting better, there will be good days and bad days and I admire Tom for being so open about this. I share the same birthday with Tom and we both battle OCD. It's so hard being open about it. I'm 21 and I still find it very hard to talk about to my parents. I am so proud for Tom about talking about it.
I wonder if parents are the last people sufferers should try to talk to, because they'll fight the very idea that their child has a problem?
@@lesleyvivien2876 My dad is like that and sometimes he does get annoyed at my OCD tendencies but he has gotten better about it and is trying to understand. My mother on the other hand is very understanding about it and is often the one to help me handle my OCD thoughts on bad days when there is a chance of me spiralling. I am very lucky to have someone as understanding as my mum by my side but it truly does depend on each family.
@@megperks6322 I think it's wonderful that your mother is fully supportive and that your father is trying. I don't suppose many people get that level of support.
Amazing. I do everything in even numbers too.
I have lived with OCD for years and its progressively got worse,im a Musician as well and they both work against each other at times,takes being a perfectionist to a whole new level.
I can only imagine how hard that would be. I have OCD too but only around certain things.
I dont know if I am diagnosed but it affects me everyday. My mind will make something up about the dumbest things like if I do something my brain 'doesnt like' for some reason it will tell me do that certain thing differently or you will have bad luck or you will be killed or you will never be happy. This isnt just a once a day thing this happens with me all the time with most things I do. I feel like this tags along with OCD and that constant want for your life to be perfect and symmetrical in my head. Unorganisation in real life like if papers are messy or things are not ordered right don't affect me that much, I have more of a want to feel ordered, symmetrical mind and feeding my thoughts is what makes me think I'm going to live a 'normal' life
Tom's so lovely
ok i love him even more now
Lovely man. Good explanation. Bless you darling. X
OCD is a terrible mental health condition and I send love and support to anyone suffering ❤️
he was so uncomfortable
@@shinyruby0 For those of us who deal with this disorder, we can find it therapeutic when we have the opportunity to speak frankly with someone who sincerely desires insight into the OCD experience. Yes, it is uncomfortable, nevertheless increased power over the disorder can be a benefit of such an encounter.
I have suffered from OCD for years, I think at the moment it is the worst I have ever been. The older I get the worse it seems to get. If I thought I could get help I would get it but I have no faith anybody helping anybody with anything these days. Where I live you can't even get to see a doctor and if you do it is just some kid that googles everything as he/she is talking to you. I have only ever mentioned it to my doctor once about 10 years ago, I told him it takes me an hour to get out of the house when I am totally ready to leave it because I check all the switches and taps over and over again before I can finally pluck up the courage to walk out of the door. He told me if it only takes an hour then I haven't got it properly, he said people who have it properly can not leave the house and there is a list a mile long of people wanting to see someone. That was about 10 years ago so I can well imagine how pointless it would be trying to sort anything out today. I think I have broken the handle on every car/van door I have ever owned by constantly pulling on it to see if it is locked. I am 49 now and lived with it for years and can't imagine not being like I am. I don't know how my Mrs puts up with me, she is just used to it. I never realised Tom had it until seeing this. I always think he could have played a Mod in Quadrophenia if he had been around at the time. Obviously he wasn't even born when they filmed it but he definitely has that look about him.
I don't even have OCD and everything I touch must be touched be an even number.
Look up Magical Thinking.
@@melwelker6077 all right.
@@melwelker6077 thanks for mentioning this I did not know this was a thing but its something i've experienced since I was a kid but never really looked into it.
...at its worse it can be totally debilitating and exhausting ...hours of your day will be consumed by it ...could lose ones job ...relationship breakdown ...and other health issues can flare up
I have OCD as well and I know what he means when he says "Don't give in" because when you entertain the thought it just goes downhill! I don't have the physical or cleanliness part of OCD but when I organize things, everything has goes to go in a certain area and I do not want to have odd numbers, idk why I've always been that way?
I have 2 versions of it - ocd and body dysmorphic disorder With the regular ocd, I started just refusing to give in to it and I stopped noticing it day to day. It does creep back every so often though. I'm lucky that I don't have it that severely
Obviously Mr. Rosenthal was uncomfortable having this discussion, but he handled it beautifully. For those of us who deal with this disorder, we can find it therapeutic when we have the opportunity to speak frankly with someone who sincerely desires insight into the OCD experience. Yes, it is uncomfortable, nevertheless increased power over the disorder can be a benefit of such an encounter.
he had an interview purely based on his ocd where he was much more open, was really interesting to listen to
❤️
1:06 not giving into it makes the most difference.
Poor guy. Everyone uses OCD so casually these days, but it can actually be pretty debilitating
I've often wondered if I have it. I have to do everything in groups of 6, from steps, to chewing food, to coughing. Everything. If it can't happen in groups of 6, say it's a single event thing, then I have to count or breathe to 6 whilst doing it.
You probably do have it x
He’s so peng
Litrallyyy 😍
I used to always think OCD was about being clean and tidy all the time so I would joke to my dad about it as he is a very tidy person then I realised what actually is, sounds scary 😰
In my case, luckily I don't have OCD. In my case, luckily I don't have OCD. In my case, luckily I don't have OCD.
Someone saying they have a bit of OCD is in no way demeaning to someone who deals with it day to day. Next she'll be saying that someone complaining about having a sore leg is demeaning to someone in a wheelchair.
Not sure I agree. I think the equivalent there would be someone referring to having a sore leg as being a bit disabled
That's not OCD. That's Magical Thinking. A lot of us do it. Like e.g., if I have the t.v. volume on an even number, nothing bad will happen to me etc. If I touch something or someone an even or an odd number of times it will lead to a better outcome. True OCD is debilitating & requires medicating.
@Sophie Howard sure.🙄
@Sophie Howard if u look up emojis u can work out 🙄. Good luck with that.
@Sophie Howard I insinuate the truth. So many folks think they have OCD versus OCD traits.🙄
No he is ocd he's obvs not said what's going on in his mind but he's probs touching people coz something bad will happen to someone smthats what's probs in his mind if he's saying it's OCD then it is coz u dk how he is or what goes on in his mind he also was probs diagnosed with it
watch his interview where he talks purely about ocd. its not just magical thinking, this is a 2 minute video where he didnt talk about how much its negatively affected his life
OCD. Wow. What an awful affliction.
Not really though.
