Thanks for sharing about your experiences. People think OCD is all about washing hands, but what they don't know is that it tends to attack their value system and can make someone question and doubt anything. I appreciate you!
I'm having a hard day with my OCD recovery today, and this helped me feel less alone. Although I don't have contamination OCD, this is still very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience
When you brought up the hand washing and how your hands get cracked and bleed, I felt so seen. Thank you for sharing your message on OCD as it is one of the hardest things to live with especially contamination OCD.
I am currently working hard on my OCD, and agoraphobia, these conditions take over my life on the daily. I developed these conditions during the pandemic, and it's all new to me, but I really enjoyed this video and it is very inspirational, thank you.
I have OCD and CPTSD. I've just signed up for exposure therapy and will begin in November. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am really looking forward through going through treatment because living this daily horror story is exhausting
I have done ERP for 1 month now and the results have been fantastic. And this is coming from a guy who was literally in a psych ward 1 month ago due to severe, crippling OCD. ERP works and you'll do great!
@nealmccoy5727 thank you for sharing your story! Incredibly inspiring and proud of you. Although I'm nervous, I'm really hopeful about ERP and helping me overcome these debilitating condition.
I am doing ERP right now for sensorimotor OCD and it's saving my life. I was in a psych ward a few weeks ago and am already feeling good after just a few ERP sessions.
I'm going through severe ocd its like fighting life with every going moment . yeah it's the most terrible thing can happen to a person . Life just feeling useless . But still holding myself Allah will surely give strength and make a way for relief ❤
So sorry about what you're going through. One thing I can say is, please take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. You are not those thoughts you're having, you're stronger than those obsessions or compulsions, and just one day of focusing on and believing this would be the beginning of your freedom Bro. Don't be scared to share what you're going through with family and friends it really helps. IT WILL SURELY GET BETTER!
I cried while watching this. I have ocd from childhood, i am 33 years old now, and still face issues. Although meditation has helped living my life, but i still feel need to take care if this ocd thing. I was wondering if facing fear should not make it worse. But now i get confirmation from this video that facing your crazy thoughts and emotions are the only way, the only way is to muddle through. Thank you ❤
It truly is the only way! But it’s a way that WORKS if you do it with support and professional help 💖 Hoping you are able to access the care you deserve
I don't struggle with contamination themes, but the bit at 2:20 about being scared of your life being "switched off" is so relatable. I'm so scared so often that some kind of catastrophe is on the way, and that any one thing could trigger it. It leads me to being a bit agoraphobic, feeling like I can't go anywhere or do anything because of the fear. It's stressful, but I'm doing my best to manage it. OCD is nothing like what the average person would think.
I know firsthand how you feel. Please keep trying to find the help that works for you. Psychiatric medication (Fluvoxamine works best for me, but I found that out through quite some trial and error) combined with ERP therapy truly saved my life. It CAN get better ❤️
It’s not your time yet. Pray to God, and ask Him- LordJesus show me how to live abundantly. You are giving me breath everyday , to wake up , that means I have purpose . Help me 🕊️✝️ feel and see purpose
Oh boy did I have one of those lol 🙊. Super dangerous and makes navigating the already complicated care-finding journey 100x more difficult. That’s why talking about OCD needs to be more normalized, so we can help each other find helpful providers!! ❤
I have been in ERP therapy for about a year now. However I’m still REALLY struggling . How do I know when I need to go to a hospital to somewhere where I can just be helped ?
I have severe OCD this doesn't really resonate much with me very light on details. Even if I do not indulge in a bunch of compulsions it's not like I am magically cured. I get it even if she did not indulge in several compulsions I get it that's very hard but then how did she magically live the rest of her life with no OCD that makes no sense.
I am surprised you only had OCD I have even cancer and many other things. 😊 few minutes ago I am listened integrated now I am listening to find the reason Badminton service dew to less processed specially cut wing to set next, the reason next station has couple smash ready before 2nd serve from serial one . 😊
I’m sorry but overcoming OCD is not possible. I’ve lived with it for 28 years. I will have years of life not run by OCD… (in which I’ve thought I’ve overcome it) to be followed by years of my life that are run by OCD. It doesn’t just go away. If you get into a negative headspace it will creep back up. It always does. I’m sure this young woman will know this to be true as well at some point. I’m glad she’s on a positive upswing right now though 😊 life is great when you aren’t paralyzed by OCD.
Sorry to hear that but it is possible and believe me I've been through it all. Read Claire weekes book hope and help for your nerves. Believe me, I have been the exact same as you, but if you learn what she has taught, you will fully recover

I hate how ill-informed the public mostly are about OCD
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
Inspiring, thanks for sharing!
This one is really cool !!❤
Amazing talk! 🌟
Thank you for sharing 🤍🫶🏻
OCD has brought me to the end of hope, I have no meaning to live at this point and I’m just ready to die

Don’t lose hope. You are strong. Keep going.
Same😢😢 all the treatments are only failing!! 😭
My treatment is failing here too
You are beautiful ❤ keep strong and God bless
Thank you ❤
I hate how many therapists I’ve been to, that claimed they specialized in OCD but in fact did not.
Oh boy did I have one of those lol 🙊. Super dangerous and makes navigating the already complicated care-finding journey 100x more difficult. That’s why talking about OCD needs to be more normalized, so we can help each other find helpful providers!! ❤
Thanks for sharing the Fear good luck 👍
