its really annoyed me when someone says "omg i dont like that mess im so ocd" dude the thing is everyone hates a fuckin mess, ocd and "liking clean things" it a different thing
exactly!!
Um... Nobody cares?
Everyone does not hate a mess. There are a ton of disgusting people out there.
***** thats me
exactly! Just insisting on getting the JOB DONE RIGHT!!!! doesn't mean OC fucking D!! Most people are just too lazy to do THE JOB RIGHT!!! No pride in such.....
it's really annoying when my mind is forcing me to do stuff 5 times or there'll be "consequences"
What consequences???
Me also
Same... I’m scared that I’m going to fall in love with a relative if I mess up. That’s what it tells me.
You use medicine?
OMG EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME
As someone who does not have obsessive compulsive disorder, I nonetheless find it very rude and disrespectful when others draw reference to the disorder to tease those who may be very clean and tidy, and so forth. Those with OCD are obviously suffering deeply and I don't find their illness to be funny or a source to poke fun at others in the least.
Jason Gafar well said
Leylz he literally said that he doesn't have OCD. You may benefit from rereading before you make ignorant comments.
Jason Gafar whenever i pick up something cause its out of place my friends go ooohhh my gosh ocd!!!
Theduckhunter50 hahaha, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think everyone is different and also have different standards that they set for themselves. A great example, for some people. going to bed at any time and if they're too tired, they can skip out on brushing their teeth or perhaps even wearing the same very clothes and that's entirely acceptable. For others, going to bed at an exact time and waking at an exact time, brushing, changing, washing, etc, are all very important. It's all about what you value. Honestly speaking though, a person's habits, hygiene, and cleanliness says a lot about them though. It's just like when you go out to a restaurant. You'd have far more confidence and enjoyment if you felt secure knowing it was very clean and hygienic.
Very well said.
When my left hand/foot hits someting I also hit it with my right hand/foot so it can be balanced.

I have OCD. It's not nearly this bad but sometimes, depending on the situation, it can be a real hell.
me to and it has something to do with my palms unless i dont have it but it feels like it and also with washing my hands
This seems horrible
Me too. The person in the video does everything to the number 3, I do it to the number 8, altough not as many things come into account.

OCD isnt just about cleaning and also about have obsessive thoughts. I live with it. my ocd led to having suicidal thoughts.
that bad u should goto a therapist.
+Stephanilla those thoughts are ruining, not only my life, but every single second of it. Stay strong you know those thoughts are not real even tho they feel like it. Stay strong, and stay away from those suicidal thoughts. STay STRONG. F the suicidal and ocd thoughts.
Focus your obsession into something constructive. Best advice I can give you.
I have obsessive thoughts as well! I'm here to support you! :D
stesthetic It's CDO w/clinical depression. 😖 been like this for over 3 decades now.
I've gotten much better though with the help of mother natures greatest medicine EVER.
this must be torture
It's a problem with no solution that your forced to live with for your entire life and it only keeps getting worse, when you have it, a normal life is only something you can dream about
+David Galvan I am looking for a way to solve it. I have it too but won´t give up.
Yes it is
+keziah cary ive ocd. yes at times it can be torture. but at other times what im doing seems normal to me but not to others. ocd comes in many diffrent forms
+keziah cary I just find It funny how most people think of OCD as just cleaning. It can be a lot more sinister than that. Gradually OCD can get worse and attach on to other worries developing them into bigger ones. Eventually it can make you delusional and insane to the point relationships break up. The rituals, worries, obsessions will take over your life and suck the life out of you. It's the worst form of mind trickery and because OCD can be stressful to most people, the headaches just develop into another obsession 'I have a brain tumor'. OCD is one big circle of living hell and therapy isn't recommended because talking in depth about it only makes it worse. Medication in my opinion is the only way to gain back a little bit of control and make life easier.
If he ever breaks into my house ile know
Gaz Confidential LOOL that's hilarious *Breaks in through your window* *climbs back out again*
I laughed more than I should have at this
Muzakai lmao yeah
Gaz Confidential He'll open your front door 3 times and closes it 3 times
I’ll.
I have very light OCD and when i saw this it broke my heart
Cheesycurve 54 p
What is little bit by yours?
I have light OCD, too. Everytime when I see my favorite number on the clock, for example, if it's 9:41, its has to be 9:41:41. My older cousin has it to, she is addicted to cleaning.
Theduckhunter50 I have light ocd and it's a struggle
Theduckhunter50 I also have light ocd
Poor guy, living in constant fear of everything, a wasted life.No friends, no hobby, nothing.
must be hell inside your head
trust me.
Its a very painful mental disorder...
It is.
I had suicidal thought because of it. Hell is a good word to describe it. I cant even stop counting numbers when im sleeping. I counted to like 500000 starting from 1. Thankfully i cured
Mac Lampard infact its very painful
I'm tired of people in the comments saying they have OCD, when in fact, they didn't go to any medical professional in order to diagnose them. If you self-diagnosed yourself as having OCD, you don't. Everyone has "compulsions", OCD is just more extreme, like the ones shown in the video. If your compulsions aren't extreme, you DON'T have OCD.
Yeah I understand they probably don't have it they just think they do… i was dignosed 1 year ago and it is extreme it takes 2 hours out of my daily lifw
theres mild and extreme ocds man. but yeah ocd cant be self diagnose
Victor Grottil Alex, the mildest OCD will still make your life hell. Mild OCD isn't ' I like things to be neat'. If your life isn't hell you don't have ocd
Tayloraurrekoetxea yes OCD is hell. I dont have ocd but on occasion just complusions.
@@crispuigb Even I took medical help and was diagnosed with OCD few years back. Apart from medication, meditation has also helped me a lot.
okay..I have mild ocd. I'm glad it's not bad
Same
Well I have to stop myself from trying to punch random people and shout out curse words so I don't know if you can call mine mild....
i used to be like that guy who went back to check things two or three times i just couldn't help but i grew out of as i became more lazy.
debbies fun life same
"Imagine you have the urge to wash your hands. The orbitofrontal cortex recognizes that something is wrong, that your hands are dirty. The caudate nucleus kicks in and causes you to automatically wash your hands. Then the cingulate cortex registers satisfaction that your hands are clean. But in someone with OCD, this loop is altered. Even after he notices that his hands are dirty and he washes them, he still has the discomforting feeling that something is wrong, that they are still dirty. So he is stuck in a feedback loop that won’t stop."
Michio Kaku. The Future of the Mind
Thank God for the people who post these videos on obsessive compulsive disorder... It helps me to watch them as I have had o.c.d since as far back as I can remember. My earliest memory was when I was about 7-8 years old. My brother and I were walking down a sidewalk taking care to avoid the cracks. I will never forget our conversation. I noticed the way he was walking (avoiding all cracks and he was counting) again, I will NEVER forget this... I looked over at him and I said "what are you doing, I do that too" And all he said was " I don't know, i just do it". And that was it, I knew I wasn't the only one. Because for a long time I thought I was the only one who did this and thought I was crazy. Which is why I never told my dr's. I thought they would take my kids away and put me in a mental institution. We both continue to be plagued by o.c.d and will for the rest of our lives. I finally got diagnosed in 2014 and see a psychologist regularly. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It consumes me. I stay to myself and in my home unless I ABSOLUTELY have to go somewhere. I avoid going out in public as much as possible, as I also have social anxiety real bad. These films are so educational and helpful to myself and I'm sure many others so thank you.
So I'm guessing that everyone in the comment section has OCD…
Mason Stevens i think it's 90% OCD users and 10% curiosity like me
True
We want to see what others experience
T ho Fregato it's 90% people claiming to have ocd but not really having it,
2% people genuinely having ocd and the rest just watching.
@@AJ-do2te Anyone who has taken medical help and has been diagnosed with OCD, definitely has it. I am one of them. I took professional help and was diagnosed with OCD few years back. I am under treatment. I have mild OCD but even that is difficult. But not as acute as the person in this video. OCD keeps me under constant mental pressure. Same thoughts coming back repeatedly is very irritating. I also wash my hands many times. When I go out I keep a sanitization lotion to keep my hands clean incase I don't get water nearby to wash my hands. I am keeping my hands 'clean' all the time. People around me notice that. But I can't help it. Apart from medication, I am doing meditation and that helps to a certain extent. It is definitely a mental torture
i stand and look at my car lights that are clearly off for at least 15 minutes just to make sure
I do the same thing , I'm always worried about the damn lights
Why?
+Daniel Shamu is there any particular fear behind it?
+TheRedCoke panphobia but she/he has ocd
I am not diagnosed yet, but I always do this with everything whether it's the bathroom where I have to stare into the toilet for a few minutes to make sure it doesn't have shit in it, or into the refrigerator to make sure it's closed or the water dispenser to make sure it's closed (how would a water dispenser be closed anyways?? wtf, brain?)
I thought I had this but looking at these people they have problems. I do the eating on each side of my mouth thing until I think to myself what the fuck am I doing.
omg thats what i thought watching this video! lmfaoooo
I do chew on each side because I want my jawline to form symmetrical and not asymmetric.
My OCD I have to do everything 2 times thank god 2 is my lucky #. Imagine 50??
My number is 4 , not bad haha
nick silva Mine's 3, 'cause it's a constant number which appears everywhere, and I don't know... It's... a comforting number... (I can't explain it).
I know how that feel ^^ :D
I know, that's what I do all the time! Like when eating Smarties (chocolate), I have to split them into their colour piles and then make the piles even in each. Can't help it, it just doesn't feel right if I don't do it.
I can relate to that ^^
This is no joke
OCD 🧠 is not funny ! It is the mental pain.
i also gotta repeat certain things until i felt satisfied..if not i cant continue with following things ..and its taking quite lot of time...
before i had to repeat everything i said but backwards:(
Omg I THOUGHT It was just me!!!
Omfg me too. I am too woried that my cat will fall out of the windows and run away, so i stay near the window and check if it's closed for like 30 minutes until i 100% think it's closed
I can absolutely identify.

I am an OCD sufferer, in recent years it has gotten worse, and I realized that my OCD has exceeded the limit, I finally decided to ignore all the whispers, I finally started to get better, slowly but surely my OCD disappeared by itself, although sometimes it still persists. relapsed but with my indifference, in the end everything was fine again.
The key is just dont too much give a f**k 😎😎😎
Hope my experience can help you guys 👍🙏😁
As Top G says, you don't have OCD in a war.
I used to suffer from OCD, it started when I was 16, but now I'm 23 and I managed to cure myself from it. There were so many, many terrible situations in all those years, but now, looking back, I'm even prouder I won the fight against my illness all by myself. There are only few situations now that I feel OCD could come back (and sometimes it does to a small extent), but then it is all about controlling yourself and your thoughts and the phase passes. And after some time, these few, weak phases will end forever, too. So guys, never give up, it is not impossible to get well again when you have OCD! Even without a therapy ;)
You can't "cure" it, but you can control it
You can most definitely signifcantly reduce your chances of relapsing. My hope is, however, that in a few decades there will be a permanent cure of sorts. The rate at which science and technology are advancing gives me hope.
Erasmus1712 thanks dude i hope it will help me
well, the mathematician portrayed in 'a beautiful mind' was able to conquer his psychosis according to the film. he realized this one little girl in his hallucination was never aging. i feel so guilty laughing at this one scene in a mental hospital knowing i battle mental illness. christopher plumber and russel crowe gets dragged out of the psychiatrist's office yelling for help for someone to contact the government and one of his slippers comes off like cinderella.
I don't touch anything in the restroom either. But i was raised not do that because my parents told me about restrooms being very filthy
Fortunately mine has gotten a lot less severe, or at least I don't seem to be developing any new habits. My first recollection of this feeling was avoiding the edges of sidewalks and floor tiling at Disney World when I was around five. If I did step on a line I had to do it with my other foot as well, then repeat it. At one point I went to a restaurant in another state and accidentally brushed my right hand against a chair when I was leaving, then did it again with my left when I had the opportunity to come back. Highest number I've ever had to do something was 21, for an entire year. Years ending seemed to help some. My parents eventually noticed I was avoiding floor tiling and started making me walk on it intentionally, at least, they tried.
Were twins bro
I very strongly appreciate you making this film. It is an accurate description if what my life is like on a daily basis. It is hard for people who don't have OCD to understand but yiu did a good job of displaying it in your film.
I remember when I was kid I would hop on the tiles in my kitchen and not have my foot stepping on the cracks, because it would be bad luck if I do.
I would be happy if I had to do exactly three times everything. I can do things two or two thousand times. I'm never sure about myself when doing things. OCD sucks, I have had it eight years. Nobody can help me.
When I watched the video I realized I am exactly like that............I hope I don't have ocd 😕😕😕
Same😂😂not exactly but similar
Chew king dont confuse teenage edgyness with real ocd
When I was younger, I used to have OCD, and I hated. I remember when I was in 1st grade, this kid always touches my food and says "are you gonna eat that?", and I just give it to him after he touched it. I never got to eat anything after I decided to say no to the kid. I almost cried because how weird I felt.
My OCD rituals:
When waking up at 6: 32 with +- 6min error margin, scratch left cheek, yawn 3 times, pee, have breakfast (i have a schedule for regulated breakfast).
When getting home, leave stuff at the specific spot on my desk next to my window, no more than 30 cm from the chair. Take a bath with the soap in a specific order of cleaning phases. Wash hands at maximum 2 hours period from each hand washing. Take baths always 2 times a day.
Specific: Always have 3-4 different meals on plate. Eat on anti-clock direction. Meals are regulated on plates, having 90 degress if 4 food types, and 120 if 3. None must touch the food without gloves. Always do things the same time in each hand if possible, breath exactly 3 times very quickly if you can't do it in odd pairs. If more then 3 times, slap yourself and again.
Also, touching must be avoided, only possible if they are clean. They must not touch things softly, only hard and steady, or I must count to 4 in my mind. Hospitals and places with so many germe threat must be avoided. Label everything if possible.
I dont think that i have OCD, but i wash my hands always, because i feel like they are dirty, like after touching a dog, or just picking up something.. Other REALLY annoying thing not only to me, but to my family is that i check if the door is lock to my room, Like no go and check it once or twice, i can spend up to 30 mins checking if the door is locked, when i go to bed, and i keep on saying to my self "I locked the door for sure" but ofc, i get up and check it again.. So should i get help or what? What people do if something like that happens to them? And it started around 2-3 years ago..
Hi, i do the same as you, its like i feel i don't do something that i should do or feeling afraid that i didn't do right to the things that they ask me to do, so i'll check it often like a fool and its wasting my time coz it end up that i've done it right .. i feel crazy plz help .. :(
Yeah I'm 20 and all my life I check if the windows doors oven are closed... and sometimes I'm seeing that it's closed, but I still feel like I have to check it again and again, like wtf mind, why you do this to me : P
+Amir Mark so sad.. why is this happening to us? 😭😭
+Amir Mark I check my Windows and doors like five times until I get satisfied..I'm not sure if that is still normal or not😞
Tree time
you do not know de wea de wey
RARE AKUMA lmaooo😂😂
Guys OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder which is what is shown in this video OCPD is obsessive compulsive personality disorder is where everything has to be straight and perfectly clean
I feel like watching these kind of videos might give me ideas of things to obsess over even though I dont have OCD.
Everything is tiring with OCD. I dread the shower or going to the bathroom EVER. That’s where my OCD is the worst.
there are lots of types of OCD .. you don't have to be extremely clean or like him .. for me.. i'm obsessed with self harming and suicide thoughts and also about curiosity .. i'm curious to know every single thing said, written , posted everything ! some other things too ... it really sucks, but i'm checking with a doctor and i'm getting better i guess.. for those who have OCD you should check a doctor it's serious and tiring ! i hope u all get better too :)
Thanks!
Hope you doing okay
Thank you for sharing this. OCD is not talked about nearly enough and most people don't understand what it is really about. Thank you for bringing more attention to it.
my OCD is mentally, when im nervous because i also have a general anxiety and social anxiety disorder, i tend to fix myself my saying to myself words like calm down.. be easy to urself.. dont worry too much and then when im fixed i can go on but if panic attacks seconds later i repeat the "fixation" thing until i get satisfied. i know its pure nonsense but i feel i should think of it. it consumes my day because im a very worried man. it is mentally torturing me. God help me. even when im watching my favorite show or doing my favorite hobby, the panicking still attacks, i tend to worry about anything in my mind rather than being happy at the moment, so then i fix myself again until i get satisfied over and over again and the next thing i know the movie is finished while i dont understand a thing from it because of my disease. i dont have a normal life.. seems like it's eating my brain and soul and i couldnt get away from it. even when im sleeping i still worry, oftenly i get angry for being a worried person, then i get stressed out and then i feel like just killing myself. worst mental disorder ever. FUCK it! can someone help me?
Accountant Ako dont worry your bot alone i tried the same thing one tine i keep on touching my bed straight e0 minutes and i cried because i cound not stop my help is that dont look at that thibg were you like to do repeatedly just ignore it and slowly it wil go away i tried it,iy help me hope best wishes for you and also im 12
Are you ok now ?
I have Ocd I hate it when my food is together on a plate it must be divided. If any food touches one another I won't eat it. People say I don't eat well I don't eat it if it touches another food group
i sort of have this same problem but its not that bad
same
Yeah I probably have like 1/4 of it maybe less
Mo Raps you can't be 1/4 of a mental illness.
I think mines just 1
It must be very difficult to have a relationship with someone. Having children would either save you or put you over the top. I hope anyone having even one element of OCD gets help so life can be more bearable for you!
I feel for these people I have delt with OCD over the years and I'm so happy I have mine under control. Its not as bad as this felllows but I still find myself counting to three as I push the fridge closed every time. My father also had a low level OCD i found out about when i was an adult.
I think I might actually have ocd bc when I go to bed I turn my light off and then turn it on and off again and I constantly worrry that something is wrong with me I can't help it :( and if I drink something I have to drink it like 3 times I have to open and close the fridge I feel like something bad will happen if I don't do it.. and I constantly tell myself "I'm fine" but deep down I know I don't believe myself or if I walked around my room I might see something and then I have to sit on the ground and stand up
skyeler Cook same idk why but I used but if I grabbed something or touches something I would have to touch it 2 or 4 times or grab it and put it back down 2 or 4 times and had to be an even number. I'm growing out of it though
skyeler Cook
i have it too ... well too bad cuz when i play video game or stuff i NEED to use like special item or like finish my job or else i get baad feeling from it and
i dont feel good ... and yet it aint that bad like these guys
i definitely have ocd.
1. when I use the bathroom I wash my hands halfway up my arms, and for longer than average.
2. I check all of the outlets in the house multiple times before I go to bed, and even in places where there arent any outlets, because I am afraid that a fire will occur overnight.
3, I check around my house before bed to make sure that nothing is out of place, and is not any where near the edge of a counter or I think it will fall and hit one of my pets while im sleeping.
3. i cant use a cup more than once or I feel it is bad luck.
4. cant do anything 3 times, or that has anything to do with the number 3, for example i cant have 3 cups of water I can only have more or less tban 3 at a time.
5. I cannot play xbox without washing my hands before doing so bc I feel my controller will break.
this is a smaller list
whenever i do something like clapping, i have to clap evenly like left side 3 right side 3. if its not then i will re-do until i'm satisfied. everytime i go into the bathroom, when i see a dirty spot, i try to avoid it like its poisonous. and almost everything i do, it has to be the same number like writing for example, if i draw the brackets unevenly, i have to erase the whole thing and do it again until im satisfied. urgh, such an annoying thing.
I do that as well.
Leaving the tap on or locking the front house door is my thing even though I know for 100% it's all good but that feeling of easing my mind I'll have to check again 😩
Half life 3 confirmed
I lost my shit. Thank you, sir, for that wonderful comment. You made my day.
latrellfrasier this is kind of horrible but really funny
everything is terrible Legend
I feel really bad for the guy who has OCD. It can be very stressful and sometimes it can make you panic as well.
I have pretty bad OCD myself!
I go mad if a door is left open because I like my doors left closed! I also have this thing with numbers having to end in 0 or 5. For example, when i'm watching TV I like the volume number to end in 0 or 5. I go insane if the number ends in anything else.
OH I LOVE YOU, I too have to make sure that everything is 0 or 5, my tv, my monitor light, and many others
0 or 5, 10 15 20 25..., if it's 27 for exemple I just feel like I have to change it to 25 or 30, god knows why...
Erika Foster same
OMG, I thought it was just me! When I see someone changes the volume to 7 I have to grab the remote and change it to either 5 or 10.
ღ ᕼᗩᗰᗰIE ღ That isnt ocd. You cannot self diagnose yourself.
I grew up in India and I had OCD while growing up. I didn't know it was called that back then. could sense dirt on my hand and would keep washing it and i kept repeating some words to feel satisfied. I also had to blink both of my eyelids the same way to make them even. I got over it by exposing myself to more chaos. But it is crazy how I, who hailed from a dirty desert rural area of India with almost no standards of proper hygiene, can have the same disorder as people in the western countries. We are kind of all the same . Just have different skin colors.
I do almost everything they show in this video. Plus, almost anything I do, I have to keep repeating until I AM satisfied I've done it right.
If I don't do it, I feel like something bad will happen..
imagine doing those things more than once will destroy ur life.
that way u will always do it once.
TheRedCoke bruh
When ever I scratch my nose with my left hand I have to scratch it again with my right hand, to balance it. Or when I'm waking on a sidewalk I have to make sure both legs cross over the same number of cracks tiles...............
I only have trypophobia
Does anyone know what that is?
Isn't that the phobia of holes? Sorry if it isn't, the name sounds familiar.
dear of holes, i don't have it though
fear*
me!
wht is tht?
I hate it when people say that they have OCD when they don't or say that something that they did is "so OCD" so for all of those people, here's a story. I told my friend that I had moderate to severe OCD (which I do) and she said to me "no you don't" it was infuriating, but I told her that she shouldn't make judgments like that, and that every time that the "voice" inside my head told me to do something that I would tell her (and do it, of course) and That's exactly what I did, I told her every time something had to be an even number or every time I counted things 10 times, I even told her her the next day after I didn't listen and had a mental breakdown and cried so hard for so long that I threw up and didn't sleep the whole night because I was cleaning and organizing everything to make up for it. When people come up to me and ask "do you think that I have severe OCD?" I want to ask them have you spent 2 hours opening and closing a drawer until you break down in sobs because you feel that you have lost complete control of yourself? but I never do because I know better. I didn't write this comment for people to feel bad about misjudging OCD I just wrote it so that you understand what it's like to have OCD
Me: Do I have OCD??
*watches video*
*realizes I do this sometimes*
Dear lord. This must be torture.. :_;
I've had OCD my whole life and have had literal panic attacks about ridiculous stuff like for example having an open cut and going to school or being in public i'd be so freaked out somehow I would contract HIV by touching something. Washing my hands 30 times a day, checking the doors 5+ times a night to make sure they're locked etc. I even went through something 1000x worse in my late teenage years caused by OCD which I don't want to get into but It made me seriously consider suicide. My whole life I've been diagnosed as ADHD and forced to take crap like Adderall which just made me feel worse, It was only a year ago I realized I had OCD and it all makes sense now, I'm currently taking Prozac and it helps a lot but I still can't escape my OCD completely
let's get this to 3, 333, 333 views
I have bad OCD for the hand washing thing and germs which is not good because I have bad chemical sensitivities. I totally get what he meant by how his hands feel dirty even when he doesn't touch anything. I probably wash my hands about 50 times a day at least so my hands are always breaking out in rashes and cracking... My hands live on hydrocortisone cream when they're cracked and really bad and Johnsons's baby lotion when they're only red... Anything else makes them worse. I have terrible anxiety when I'm somewhere that doesn't have a sink nearby, so school was awful. I spent my short 3 minutes between every class to go to the bathroom just to wash my hands.
Whenever I touched something dirty with one hand in class and couldn't go wash my hands, I clenched that hand into a fist literally the entire class period to remind myself not to touch my face or anything else with that hand until I can go wash it. And use my unsoiled hand to touch my face, clothes, etc. If I have to touch something else dirty the same hour, I use the hand that's already dirty.
I wash my hands immediately after touching practically anything that isn't in my room at home that only I touched with my washed hands... I don't even let my family touch anything of mine without washing their hands, and even if they do, I still don't want them touching me or anything I own because they're someone else's hands... I clip my fingernails to nubs so dirt and germs can't get trapped under them. I constantly buy disinfecting wipes to wipe things I've bought before using them. I wipe my phone down with a wipe every day when I come home along with my purse, and anything else that's been out. I have to take a shower and change my clothes when I get home or I can't do anything else. Even if I just went outside for 1 minute to take the trash out, I have to go wash and change my clothes. I yell at my family for wearing shoes in the house cause then I have to steam the carpet again and again. There's just too many thoughts I have about everything germy it's overwhelming... I'm definitely an obsessive freak... Having this is a pain in the butt, but I still think it's better than being a dirty slob...
i can relate oh no
same
+tøp! at the disco I love twenty one pilots and have ocd to
+paige sampat I feel like we would be best friends
My OCD procedure: I love video games. Every day, I like to vacuum and tidy my room, the area outside my room, and my bathroom. Then I can play video games
3 sugars will rot your teeth bro
I find that it helps to not try and fight it, but adapt to ways of allowing it to exist in your life. If I'm waiting at a pharmacy, by the time I leave all of their bits and bobs on the counter are arranged parallel, pens clicked off, lollipops sprayed out of their container like it's in a flower arranging contest. It's a compulsion, but I figure 'what the heck?' it's not harming anyone, it gives me something to do whilst waiting and I can smile about how they must react when they notice some strange chap has put a lot of effort into tidying their place up for them. There are things which I have to cope with on an ongoing basis and I can be tough. But fighting it increases your anxiety and makes it a lot worse. Try to find comfortable ways of adapting to satisfy the compulsions yet reduce the amount of torture they put you through. If you have the condition, you have it. Carry on living your life and try not to let it take over. Also, look into so called flooding techniques. They are really helpful in breaking cycles, as you can't possibly keep up with the demand to meet all your desires. So some have to be left unfulfilled and the stress you experience has to be resolved through its own means.
I don't know this will sound stupid probably ,don't get me wrong ,is it me or this OCD stuff seems to be a very big thing mostly in USA . To be honest I don't even think I have heard of anyone with OCD that isn't from US . I just wonder are this sickness somewhat specific to I don't know that part of the earth that USA occupies is it something in the air or what ? I understand this might sound stupid but I thing there is some weird common thing for ppl being from USA to have OCD...?
Randy G thx for replying I am sort of thinking that is somehow a zone specific sickness sort of like ebola / malaria in africa
And also, being a 14 year old with CDO, I'm a messy person, but if one thing is put out of place I will notice it and it'll take hours for me to put it at the same angle in the same place. But it's mostly just from ancestors. Not exactly sure why we do, but usually some people have not CDO but just an urge to fix something, and they automatically think they have CDO but they don't and it's not really anything to make fun of. It drives me insane when pictures on the wall aren't in a straight line, my Geography teacher has these papers and they're all crooked and I want to scream, bu I'm in school and I know I can't do that. So there blows until I get home.
Rena, l believe I was made this way on purpose, obsessive hard working, detailed, rigidly dedicated to routine (job). We all can't be leaf in the wind hippies! God is wise!
Cookie, I obsessed about everything, I'm doing it now, after I read your comment, I couldn't ignore it if I tryed!
When I was a boy my sister told me I was ugly(everyday), I can hear her now, anyway I had thoughts of suicide(everyday)but I didn't act on it. When I met the love of my life, married , had kids, I was so thankful to God, for giving me strength, I love my children so much(ex-wife not so much). My point is, use your ocd for positive things, obsessed about good grades, or hobbies, later on being a good mother, it will happen and you'll be glad your here to enjoy them.
I suffer the OCD but im not even american, maybe theres more cases in amerca cause it has mayor population
I don't know if what I'm mentioning is OCD but, I don't like sitting at booths, if a seat has one crumb or stain I won't sit down. I'm very tidy, after everything I touch I put hand sanitizer on. I don't go to the bathroom at school, I walk on my heels in the bathroom, I hold it, when I have my menstruation going on I prefer to stay home, but I HAVE to go. I don't like to lean back in chairs, unless at my home, or in my car. I have to brush my hair 3 times on the top with my blue brush. Then I can get myself ready. I don't like touching the schools lunch trays, or silverware at a restaurant. I don't like to touch menus at restaurants.
Is that a phobia, or is it OCD?
After seen this, I totally don't have OCD :D
Lucky you.
I have a strict routine that I go through every time I walk anywhere in my house and I just want it to stop but I can't
my first floor routine:
-when I first walk in the house I have to touch the lock, light switches near the door, and the end of the couch with my leg and push them until it feels right
-I then have to push the dining room light switches, basement door, and chair until it feels right
-I then push the pantry doors
-I straighten the kitchen chairs, push the fridge doors, and touch the kitchen light switches
I have more things I do at different places and for different things but this is just what I have to do when on my first floor in my house
I have number ocd and pattern ocd if it's not a even number I go crazy. Also if I don't end a pattern the way I started. In the car it's torture
I have a mild form of OCD which is completely different from this guy. Mine consists of staring at things for long periods, just to make sure that what I'm looking at is right. This could be anything from making sure the dials on a cooker are all switched off, staring constantly because my brain doesn't want me thinking that they are off. Another example would be light and plug socket switches, where I'd have to just stare to confirm to myself they are switched off. I also have trouble with reading certain things and words because I don't believe at first what I'm looking at actually says what it says! It's really complicated to understand myself, let alone trying to explain to other people!
If i look at someone i cant swallow bc then i weel like that i like them
Feel
Same
I know! Same with me!!
Hahahaha these OCD's are funny 😂
Thats one of mine too-
When I was little, if it was dinner time, I had to esh my hands but after washing and I touch the wall or ANYTHING I have to wash my hands over and over again.....
I must always comment thrice
I must always comment thrice
I must always comment thrice
Why though?
That's fucked
Its so weird because im 17 and its only the past few weeks it hit me i have OCD, and its happened for years but i always tried to turn a blind eye to the thoughts. Blinking a certain amount of times, quickly raising my head up whenever I'd look at a light, rolling my eyes all over the place blinking in a certain number of times, not sitting down properly so i get back up to sit down again hoping its the perfect seating, scratching my pinky finger again the palm of my hard numerous times and ending it on the hardest scratch. OCD is fucking shit on a real, it happens without you even realising it.
This is so sad.
I have OCD and there's this girl in my bio class that sits next to me and she was talking to her friend and said "omg I think I have OCD because I have to have everything organized" it pissed me off so much
*_3_*
i used to have a friend with a crippling ocd problem....he has it managed for now, but what he had to do is literally have someone force him not to give in to his compulsions....It feels terrible but its the only solution that ive seen that works.
I think all that sugar is your problem.
I have to check that I've done everything right 3 times. I check if I've locked my bedroom/bathroom door almost constantly. I eat my food in a specific order and in a certain way...
I could go on forever.
Same here.
I guess his lucky number is 3 then
1 2 3

Wrong ! You have to type 123, three times! now you have to reset this comment please
(prolonged beep) Not funny.
Been Watching my dad doing something repeatedly . When i was 4 y.o until now i’m 27 y.o .
For example : 4 times raising hand, 3-4 times raising head, washing hands, make sure lock the door more than once, turn off the stove, and many more.
When i was kid, i felt lil shame. Cause there was a time, he seems like he didnt hear or didnt response because he’s doing raising hands or heads 4-5 times while i was talking to him.
But now i know he has OCD , i hope he can survive 😢
I think I have very minor OCD. I wash my hands alot and dont like finger prints on my iPad, but thats about it. Watching this guy who has to open/shut the door three times, and do everything in multiples of 3 has real problems. Checking your throat for cancer 15 minutes daily in the mirror is complete stupidity as throat cancer can't develop overnight. Watching this video made me feel alot better about how minor my OCD is.
That's great but you don't have OCD
You don't have OCD. It's called like that because it's a DISORDER, by definition disorders make your life dysfunctional. You don't have OCD you just like things to be clean. Get over yourself
Im not being nasty or saying anything bad but, I don't get it, what happens if you don't do it 3 times? or what happens if you open the door 1 time and the door falls off
THree not tree. I know you're Irish but come on
haha English is a stupid language.. The worst phonetic ever
Welsh is the best
I thought it was rather endearing.
Accents a bitch
Up de ra
everytime i zip something up i always think that its not zipped all the way so every second i gotta keep checking i cannot stop doin it
1) I ignore the number 3 and 13 because they are odd numbers and I feel like if I approach then, something bad will happen to me or my family
2) most of the time; when I go up or down the stairs, I count the stairs even though I know how many are there.
3) when I'm copying out stuff, I check word for word that I have spelt it all correctly and I do this about 5 times on each word.
4) if I put things in a certain place to stop them from getting damaged or lost; I'll keep checking that it's still there about six times in a row.
5) I sometimes have images pop into my head of my mum or dad getting injured or harmed.
I'm so messed up. 😔
i know that feeling of having germs or dirt on yourself even though there is probably none, every time someone brushes pass me or even touches me, I feel like something is on that spot and i have the need of brushing off that "imaginary" germ or dirt, it gets to the point where i do the same thing with my belongings- like if someone had touched my bag or anything of mine- i would feel like it's contaminated and have the need of wiping that spot clean
I don't have OCD but I hate when people say they have it but they don't because that means that people who genuinely have OCD can't feel comfortable to say "I think I have OCD" in case people think it's just a regular person trying to be interesting
I have ocd, but it isn’t really a problem.
Except one example got me ticked off.
I got my new ps4 controller and I put it on my desk facing straight. I went to go eat and then I’d look at the controller and in my mind I’m saying ,” it’s not straight enough “,
And I fixed it 18 times to be exact.
I have OCD but the worst part of it is that I have I wash my hands very often like after touching the door knob and if my left arm has touch on something I need my right arm to be touch by the object the same way and the same pressure!
one thing of having ocd is that I repeat things (certain words or phrases for no dam reason)
like, I was repeating CEO (of a company) the other day or
when I listen to a movie dialogue I will repeat it..
The number one comment annoys me is "you have to get over it" or "you shouldn't let that stop you". They act like its so easy to get over and I dont know how to explain that to them.
my ocd isn't as bad as this guy has it , but its so frustrating. Cant imagine how this guy feels.
I also NEVER touch public door handles with my skin. When I'm in my kitchen if I stem on a crack I have to go all the way back upstairs and redo all my steps
When i am at school and the teacher is the using the whiteboard and she didn't rub some parts makes my skin irritate and my only focus is on that spot. It's like it's hard to forget something that you know about.
I have to stroke my phone in pocket or backpack every minute to check if it is still there. Obviously no one touched or tried to steal it. But I have to do it or else I can only think about the phone. Nothing else even If I try not to.
Also I have Sleep Paralysis linked with anxiety.
I have OCD.I need to be at the exact center of my bed when sleeping or I would not fall asleep.
My pillow needs to be perfectly horizontal.All cabinets in my room must be closed, before going to bed.
I should check 3 times that all doors are locked before going to sleep.
There must be a cup of water 1/3 full beside me when going to bed in case I need it.
I should drink water or drinks for 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 or fibonacci number of seconds, depending on the amount
Need to wash hands before touching anything at the house after work or school.
Need to heat the car’s engine for 1, or 2 or 3 or (fibonacci) minutes before driving.
The volume of my phone, laptop, car radio or anything must be a fibonacci number.
My handwriting needs to be perfect.
Things that I design or do must be symmetrical.
My assignments need to be checked dozen times before submitting them.
If I feel that I ate something dirty, I would force myself to vomit.
And many more including thoughts of violence, embarassing pasts, that haunt me everytime.
Its agonizing
