I know I’m 4 years late lol but this video really helps me. I’m 19 and I suffer from this. It’s very hard to deal with the thoughts everyday but I think it’s getting better with time
Дебора Манова I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with this. For me it did get better with time and I think one of the most important parts of learning to deal with it and recover is reminding yourself that these aren’t real thoughts. Opening up to people about it is extremely difficult because most people wouldn’t understand, but maybe try seeing a therapist but one that is specifically knowledgeable about OCD.
I'm really late, but this video really helps. I'm 15 right now and have been dealing with this for months now and only now just discovered the term. I didn't know there were others like this, knowing that really helps. It really has taken over my life, I barley sleep and haven't been really eating. I lost over 25 pounds in a month by this, this whole thing is ruining my life. I get panic attacks every single night, I just can't deal with these thoughts anymore. I don't know if i'd ever recover. Did you ever do anything to help your disorder? did you ever recover?
Dakota I’m sorry you’re going through this. I really think it would be best to try talking with your parents and get a therapist if you haven’t already. My harm ocd was mild enough to where over time I was able to deal with it on my own by reminding myself these aren’t real thoughts, but there’s no shame in getting help if you need it. Best of luck to you, you’ll get through this.
@@WiseWordsofWill Thanks, this is very reassuring. I just don't really know a way to approach my parents about this, or anyone really. I don't think anyone would understand, I think they'd think I was crazy. I don't know I just think people would hate me for even having thoughts like this. I'll try to push through it. Again thank you though, this has been helpful.
I'm 33 and have had this since 2009 after I had my son. Just know you're not alone and it's scary as hell but it's normal. Are you seeking treatment? Nocd has some great therapists who can help you!
I know this video is kind of old, and I don’t even know if this channel is still active but this video has helped me tremendously. I’m 19 and I’ve been suffering with Harm OCD for years now. It’s been on and off though. I’ll go through a few months when it’s really bad, then it goes away for a few years. It just recently spiked again which sucks lol. But watching this has made me realize again that it’s OCD and I’m not actually going crazy lmao. Hope you’ve found ways to manage your OCD and that your doing good!
Olivia Thank you! I’m glad that this video helped you out. My Harm OCD is barely an issue for me anymore, for me it is one of those things where it comes in phases but it gets easier to manage.
ByteNess That’s awesome! It’s always great to hear that people have recovered and have been able to manage their OCD. I’m seriously thinking about speaking to a doctor about my OCD, which I have never done. Did you end up seeking any form of treatment for yours?
Olivia I’m very sorry for my late response, must’ve not seen the notification for it but in terms of therapy, I saw a therapist for OCD surrounding health anxiety issues and he thought I was dealing with a psychotic disorder, so my advice would be find a therapist that makes it clear on their profile that they are experienced in dealing with OCD, because it’s really not one of those disorders that just anyone understands I think, but yeah best of luck to you
I’m 13 and I went to a mental hospital bc of my harm ocd I thought I was crazy and took myself to a hospital
I have generalized anxiety disorder and OCD specifically harm ocd. Thanks for speaking out about it.
i am afraid to use knifes because then i get a mental image in my head of me stabbing into people or into myself. is this ocd?
@@SpongeBob-vq9eh yeah it is

You're not the only one! I deal with it too.
Me too it does get better
I´m and I started some months ago, I´m scared to talk about it to my therapist. Maybe I don´t really have OCD...? Idk, I´m scared
aww i’m so late but this is such a good video! God bless your heart! ❤️❤️
How are you right now, I hope you are cured.

@@dakotadalton6136 as an adult who goes through this have them message me I can help them understand this disorder.
Example "Don't think about pink elephants!" What will you think about pink elephants
This is an anxiety disorder
Are you sure I’m not going crazy?
Yep so sure you are not

I remember this freaked me out my mom said I'm going to lock up the knives. I believe trauma can bring this on.
In 2019 I told my mom I was having urges to punch her. She was scared but now she knows what this is and knows I don't want to punch her and I won't.
@@Smiley35S I also wonder if this is ones higher subconscious mind conscious of the lower subconscious mind.
Awww shit I have anexity
Sometimes I have a shortness of breath and my chest hurts when I'm stressed is that panic attack
Definitely. When I got chest pains, I thought I was having a heart attack. Scary shit.
+ByteNess Ya it is but it's happening less often AND TONIGHT THERE WAS A DUI POLICE CHASE IN THE ORCHARDS BY MY HOUSE
MNMXD Lol
+ByteNess it was epic
+ByteNess hey do you have any suggestions on what I should do on my channel to grow
Hmmm... Cool
