This is the woman who made me realize I might have OCD when I was really struggling with ROCD, which I had no idea even existed. I have so much love for her ❤
This is THE FIRST person I've heard talk about their OCD that I TRULY relate to. I've been dealing with the "what if it's not OCD" issue for a LONG time. Even more so since I finally started ERP therapy. Not that I NEED the reassurance haha (I'm not allowed to google whether or not I have all the other mental illnesses that I have been worried I have lol). But seeing this video was SO validating for my experience. My religious upbringing beyond shaped my OCD, and WOW - she really hit the nail on the head with that. I have struggled with the same what if's and fears - along with some super fun Harm OCD intertwined within extreme existential dread, to just ice the cake for me. Just a real nice fear tonic haha. Thanks for sharing these stories - they are what are keeping me going with the ERP.
dealing w ocd without therapy has been hard but having content creators like her to speak on it and her experiences has helped and i hope i can get to the point in the future where it's more manageable :-)
With my OCD, I can't tell the difference between a true apoIogy and a seIfish apoIogy. Whenever I upset, disrespect, or argue with my mom, I apologize (repetitively), but I'm starting to think I do so more for myself than for her. To remove the guilt and redeem myself. I never thought about this until I saw a show where a girl apoIogized to her sister for ruining her birthday. Sister 1: _I did something that I regret and I cannot feel better until I apoIogize._ Sister 2: _So this is about _*_you_*_ feeling better._ Sister 1: _Yes. Oh, and you._ Sister 2: _You're amazing. Even when you do something for someone else, it's still mostly about you._ This concept made me think deeply: is it wrong to apoIogize mostly because you're miserabIe with guiIt? I KNOW I apoIogize for that reason. But is it the only one? I think it is primarily. I feel guiIt, so as a natural response, I apoIogize and it helps make me feel better. But now I don't know. At this point, I can't tell anymore if I'm _truly_ apologizing. I'm confused about my feelings. But I know one thing: I can't handle guiIt. I just can't. I can't handle the idea of me being a bad person, so maybe I do apologize to keep being a good person and preserve my pride and self-honor.

Nicole is by far my favourite UA-camr. She is so funny, whip-smart, and has a huge heart.
