Lately, my OCD has been horrific. It literally makes me cry to the point I hyperventilate. It makes me feel trapped.Thank you for this speech it helps me feel not alone. I know I need help I just need to find a way to get it. I am trying to be more honest with my family about it because I don’t want to deal with it alone anymore.
How am I just watching this now?? I just want to give you a hug! I've been struggling with OCD since 11 years old. My parents were the first to make me feel weird, guilty and crazy. They still do. Thank you so much. I identify myself so much with you!!!
her greatest blessing is being young...in age where there is solutions and openness...she is in college and has worked her OCD out to speak before a group...she is not in her 50s suffering an entire life and the consequences that follow...work issues, relationship issues, isolation...glad she has this awareness and got help
i sincerely think that you can start t taste life in every moment... in this another TED TALK "honest liars - the psychology of self deception" on youtube, this woman makes an example of cognitive distortions like "if i eat one cookie i am breaking the diet so now that i am here i can eat the whole box". Your life is still valuable even i you ate many cookies that doesn't mean you can't stop eating all the cookies in the box and keep being on diet from this moment on. Your journey IS NOT like everyone else's, i believe it is never too late for experiencing peace... i truly believe therapy could be the answer, or just look into yourself with honesty...for finding what you need...
Such a great talk. I was diagnosed about a year ago and life is so much better after therapy. If you have it and are struggling, keep the faith. Trust the therapy.
11:18 - 11:40 is exactly what I do and watching this video right now has calmed me down , my OCD has really been getting to me tonight because I haven't had a shower before bed I'm sitting on my bedroom floor because I don't want to put germs on my bed but this is calming me down I need this pep talk in person
Yeah well you shouldn't sit on your bed unless you are wearing something that you haven't been out in with bed bugs and body lice so prevalent these days and all. OCD has it's benefits!
I have been there SO many times and I'm so glad you vocalized this. I feel like my bed has to be the cleanest place in the home because I lay there for so many hours and for some reason I feel more vulnerable catching illnesses in my sleep than I am awake. So no matter what I do, I always shower right before bed. But on those nights that I feel tired or even if I shower a little too early, I feel like I'm contaminating my bed and I have to wash my sheets the next day.
Thank you Julia for an honest and inspiring story, its helping others feel less alone who have OCD and giving them support and reassurance. Your helping raise awareness for OCD as it is really hard to actually get it diagnosed. So if people see this and feel the same but didnt know what they may have, now they have an idea to at least try to go to a doctor with. This will help sufferers seek help and not shut themselves off from the world. Many thanks for your story and braveness in telling it as it must have been hard!
Based on my personal experience I'm coming to realize that each human brain is unique in it's own way and forcing all people to think in the same format is one of the major factors which are causing stress, depression and mental illnesses. I believe that OCD is not the cause, but rather it's a side effect of the social systems people have constructed and into which people are being forced to fit in to the exclusion of their uniqueness. "It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Jiddu Krishnamurti
I feel this in my bones. I too, have to shower and wash my hands until I FEEL clean. I MUST disinfect my phone, iPad, and laptop if they touch the "wrong" surfaces. Which happens all too often because my husband (bless him) doesn't understand that just because he SAYS that he moved something of mine "for exposure therapy" doesn't mean he's helping. Often, it means that I'm left to disinfect and internally scream and want to rip out my own hair because I HATE that I feel like I MUST complete my compulsions. Because I know that my OCD is irrational. I know.
What an inspiring talk. I'm proud of you. OCD may not be curable, it is probably something that will stay with us forever. But today, just by watching this I've met another person who has lived through the struggles. I don't think diet is the ONLY aspect to relieving our symptoms but everyone is different. Thanks once again.
Since I developed OCD related to disgust, a new world has opened up for me in which there is not a second of boredom. There are so many things to wash and clean that I literally don't have time to do it all. I usually spent three to four hours in the shower, but few days ago, I spent eight hours there and had as much satisfaction afterwards as after a day well spent at work...
She should read the book, The Brain That Changes Itself, by Norman Doidge, MD. It is *not* a self-help book, but it discusses the peer-reviewed, scientific studies which demonstrate the brains neuroplasticity. Contrary to traditional thought, the brain is *not* hard-wired; it can and does rewire itself. Chapter 6 is dedicated to the studies on OCD. So yes, OCD is fully curable.
While the the brains can be directed and most of our behaviour and learning is plastic, saying it has many things that are changeable is not the same thing as *everything* is changeable. Ex people who have sensory processing disorder are not gong to be able to chose to process that information normally. People with OCD may stop having symptoms sometimes even for years, but that doesn't mean the OCD is gone for good. (I didn't have any rituals for a full decade, then suddenly, I developed one. I squashed it within a month, because I knew how to fight it and win, but despite the amount of time, I never stopped being OCD.)
***** -- I do have some. :) Check your youtube inbox I have PMed you a big long message with a bunch of links. ;) Lemme know if you can't see it and I'll post an abbreviated version here. (if you can message me back there I guess. XD ) I hope it helps, and best of luck!
***** Read The Mood Cure by Julia Ross. You'd probably benefit by supplementing with L-tryptophan (and maybe its cofactors too). Some so called "power therapies" would probably do wonders for you too.
***** I know you posted this a year ago, but Mark Freeman has a great UA-cam channel called everybodyhasabrain and I have found the videos really helpful in regards to understanding OCD and mental health in general. Also, Jeffrey M. Schwartz book, "Brain Lock" was a pretty big game changer for me when I was having one of the worse intrusive thoughts of my life (at least as an "adult").
This made me cry so much. When you said about being stuck in the shower or washing your hands till they bleed. I'm struggling so bad. Having people help me do normal everyday things. The time I have felt the calmest in my life was on mushrooms and acid so it's interesting you said that
Hmm... that's what got me here In the first place I'm pretty sure. Opened me up to all kinds of trouble. It seemed nice at first, but all of a sudden I got stuck. Haven't been able to shake off the intrusive thoughts or the dreadful feelings ever since. Be careful 🙏
Amazing talk! Being someone who has been on the old OCD roller coaster I know exactly how she felt. I never have gone down the holistic route. I think you need to choose one or the other.
Jessi, I'm same as you too....about 1,2,3,4....I always count and keep saying this until I feel I'm done with the image I wanted to make me comfortable. After watching this video, I realised I'm not alone. This is making me so difficult to study or focus in my work...
I used to count to 3 doing certain things when I was a kid and it just got worse and transformed into different forms of ocd and my parents thought it was just a quirk I had when I was a kid.
I'm only realising now when I was younger I had a period of time where I used to blink 3 blinks at a time, I had no idea why but I just had to blink that way, the mind is an amazing thing😵
There are two types of people. Ones who will heed the words she speaks, and the ones who'll focus on the shorts she's wearing. And I honestly don't know where I stand cause I'm both types.
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
@@felipeabkid I was thinking if it's somehow related to her disorder, but I couldn't figure out how. I was thinking maybe it has something to do with germs, being clean etc.
I have ocd and when I go down the stairs I would need to take every step right or else I would think that I would fall down the steps even if I was halfway down the stairs I would need to turn around and go back up the stairs and walk back down again
Everyone is much more bothered with the clothes she is wearing than the powerful talk she is giving. This is the world we live in. People are happy to overlook a struggle someone is facing or a brave thing they accomplish to comment on the thin shirt on someones back or the shorts they have on. They're her clothes and she is doing a talk to help people not a fashion show.Focus on the message she's trying to convey not on the length of her shorts.
I know what you mean, and I agree with you, dont get me wrong. But as a guy... honestly, its going to take 100,000 years more evolution for us to not get distracted by beautiful woman. I'm not saying she should wear a burka, but if that beautiful woman is going to give a speech about something, it could be about anything, and it would hard to be focus. It's just man's nature, might be hard to understand as a woman. But we're visually driven creature.
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
Faye 'Deli After one look, say stop. Just close your eyes. And immediately after that, imagine a big eraser that makes all the stuff disappear. Then think about a relaxing thing like a field or a valley or something, and try to relax. I know it'll be difficult but try :)
It seems we all got it here. I could calm it down 3 years ago by meditating, but now I realise that it is like a chained monster in my brain.. I can calm it down only but it is insane to kill it because that means I am killing my self.
Is it OCD if I constantly am always counting beats like maybe a song and it has a beat like 123456 and if it is 12345 that is an odd number and I can't do it so I change the beat somehow to make it even and even with what people say and I would be stuck on 1 part of a song or one thing a person said for like an hour until I found someway to make it even and I do this until I go to sleep like fully asleep and I wake up and keep doing this and with sidewalks I can't step on cracks and same thing the steps between each crack have to be even if it is odd I would restart and walk in the area until it is even. But my mind really hurts everyday with all the songs being uneven and things people say being uneven. So is that a type of OCD.
ThePunchingpuddle the things you described do sound like OCD, yes. However, I'm no professional and don't know the situation you're in, so I highly recommend you to go see a psychologist, a doctor, or someone else who could help you to find out wether you're suffering from OCD or not. There's nothing you can lose anyway, and it's extremely important to seek help before things maybe go really bad. I hope you find an answer and avoid the horrible torture OCD can be.
Yes, I have the obsession with even/odd numbers, too. If you are having urges to repeat behaviours based on a certain fear you have (compulsions) then that sound like OCD. You should speak to a psychiatrist/psychologist for a better assessment.
my friend i have ocd also and what helped me it just buying a little time to not do a complusion, i would say i am going to hold off 5 minutes before i do this, that was a victory, and 5 minutes turned into an hour and then a day, take your smallest fears and beat them one by one, will you have setbacks yes but the victories no matter how small will get you there, God Bless you
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
Im having ocd from last 10 years.. Think about my position.. All the day i used to satisfy my OCD.. Now i am start loosing my Memory power.. May b my brain will become blank one day.. Atlast in that way I'll be normal may be.. 😕😣You know still i didn't type some words bcz of my ocd 💭 thoughts..
@@right..5651 hope some day I'll recover from this psychological disease.. hope for the best. Atleast i realised somewhat that this is a psychological issue. Hope gor full recovery
I have had ocd when I was a kid, and now I think I'm having it again because I cannot stop remembering those dark days, is that ocd as well? Or is it some kind of depression?
I bet her supplements included L-tryptophan (for serotonin production) and maybe its cofactors. Julia Ross in her The Mood Cure provides support for using this supplement for this condition.
She makes me feel better because I suffer with BPD and just because I wear tiny tops and often hotpants (I am tall but my legs are getting a bit chunkier) and an ex-employee of Our ex-MP made a comment about my top because a female acquaintance/friend commented on it to make him think I walked around in a bra!!! He completely ignored my complaints about Social Care- serious failings and focussed on that. I am planning to go the Paper over these serious Health Care and NHS failings OVER TWO DECADES. I would like to tell this man if I ever see him that he offended me. If I want to bare my midriff I can. That could have been classed as sexual Harassment. That is the Government for you. Backwards PC- You can't flatter with a wolf whistle now but you can insult us women on our attire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so true, I had hOCD and then suddenly I didn’t. Don’t know how or why but I just get discomfort when true crime plays up on tv. Nothing more. I had anchored my life so much around not giving into compulsions and learning to be a third person to my thoughts and constantly just had it consciously or subconsciously when it’s gone, I don’t know what to fill that big spot and find myself searching for it now. I don’t know what I did before I got my OCD, I knew I had a life before it but i just can’t live like that anymore. Someone please drop suggestions kindly.
I was cured from OCD by believing in GOD and knowing the purpose of my life, and starting in achieving my goals and being involved in charity activities, HAVING OCD is one of the most bad experience you may face in your life, it ruins your life.
@justanotherfanboi religion is not the cause for OCD, it's only a symptom/theme of people who go through, there's no connection between being religious and increasing the risk of OCD.
Darwin Ruiz sundriedtomayto whats the problem with what shes wearing? she gave her story which was hard enough to be said and said it in an outfit she was comfy wearing, who are we to judge her when it wasnt any of us up there..... as im saying with maria k's post, why not focus on the story shes trying to convey and raise awareness of ocd and is helping sufferers feel less alone and helping people that maybe have not been diagnosed and just watch this and go see a doctor as they feel the same.... ive only covered a few of the topics that this story supports and those are enough to just thank her for giving her story bravely infront of the world, isnt it the story that matters. said i said with maria k. would you judge van gogh for him cutting his ear off or by his paintings and dont be so judgemental for how hard this girl must have worked and felt to even give this story without being degraded for no good reason......
"Not appropriate outfit for a talk". Great outfit for a talk which breaks the stereotype of what an "appropriate" outfit should look like. By the way, I like the shorts))
Don't worry, i'm not hassling you. That's why she wore it, think about it. Cultural conditioning and something we males don't really touch on as it means nothing to us. Other women's opinions. I smile at someone that is poking fun in their own way at the rest of us, wouldn't you?
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
Right?? Like, I'm sorry but it's ridiculous, her shorts are TINY >.< and all the men in the audience seem to be trying not to look at her legs and just waiting anxiously for her to leave
how can someone so fked up behaviourally still have so many boyfriends even a husband and do so many "normal" things like go to college? makes one wonder
Karma I have contamination OCD. I go to parties and kiss boys and go to high school but my OCD makes things harder. It’s about not letting your brain control your life.
It's because people suffering from ocd have the strongest minds. It's also because making sure that nobody will notice that something is wrong is a big priority for ocd mechanisms. Ocd wants to stay undetected, so it can keep its tight grasp on you. I can do things that completely freak me out inside, giving myself a time lapse for the compulsion I need to do to "clear" myself so I can do that later and in private and nobody will notice.
Aside from the fact that your comment is an outright lie, do you have nothing better to do with yourself than bully someone who spends her life helping others? Ridiculous.
Lately, my OCD has been horrific. It literally makes me cry to the point I hyperventilate. It makes me feel trapped.Thank you for this speech it helps me feel not alone. I know I need help I just need to find a way to get it. I am trying to be more honest with my family about it because I don’t want to deal with it alone anymore.

OCD is quicksand is such a good analogy.
I hate my intrusive thoughts sm. They will continue for months and it is the stupidest thing
Thank You Julia You helped more than you know Sis :D
Those 44 dislikes have to be bots. How can this no touch you, esp as someone who suffers from severe ocd.

So giving up sugar and gluten reduces OCD? How?
Neuroinflammation decreases
Does quitting sugar help? I've suffered since age 8. It's horrible
Pretty good presentation

However, I'm no professional and don't know the situation you're in, so I highly recommend you to go see a psychologist, a doctor, or someone else who could help you to find out wether you're suffering from OCD or not. There's nothing you can lose anyway, and it's extremely important to seek help before things maybe go really bad. I hope you find an answer and avoid the horrible torture OCD can be.
Yes, I have the obsession with even/odd numbers, too. If you are having urges to repeat behaviours based on a certain fear you have (compulsions) then that sound like OCD. You should speak to a psychiatrist/psychologist for a better assessment.
my friend i have ocd also and what helped me it just buying a little time to not do a complusion, i would say i am going to hold off 5 minutes before i do this, that was a victory, and 5 minutes turned into an hour and then a day, take your smallest fears and beat them one by one, will you have setbacks yes but the victories no matter how small will get you there, God Bless you
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
Im having ocd from last 10 years.. Think about my position.. All the day i used to satisfy my OCD.. Now i am start loosing my Memory power.. May b my brain will become blank one day.. Atlast in that way I'll be normal may be.. 😕😣You know still i didn't type some words bcz of my ocd 💭 thoughts..

@@right..5651 hope some day I'll recover from this psychological disease.. hope for the best. Atleast i realised somewhat that this is a psychological issue. Hope gor full recovery
She looks like someone used the randomizer on the Sims. That outfit is like throwing darts at the wall
I have had ocd when I was a kid, and now I think I'm having it again because I cannot stop remembering those dark days, is that ocd as well? Or is it some kind of depression?
Yes that can be ocd too
I keep on counting too to the bite and blinks I do 😭
Regardless.. Good talk
How to get over OCD, do a TED talk.
And probably have a baby.
My ocd has been since 6 years 🥲
I’m a sufferer myself,my peers could contact me for support .
Hello ...can u write this story in texting form ya translate in hindi
I bet her supplements included L-tryptophan (for serotonin production) and maybe its cofactors. Julia Ross in her The Mood Cure provides support for using this supplement for this condition.
so nice to see this elegant goddess
usually only go to 3
What is she wearing?
She makes me feel better because I suffer with BPD and just because I wear tiny tops and often hotpants (I am tall but my legs are getting a bit chunkier) and an ex-employee of Our ex-MP made a comment about my top because a female acquaintance/friend commented on it to make him think I walked around in a bra!!! He completely ignored my complaints about Social Care- serious failings and focussed on that. I am planning to go the Paper over these serious Health Care and NHS failings OVER TWO DECADES. I would like to tell this man if I ever see him that he offended me. If I want to bare my midriff I can. That could have been classed as sexual Harassment. That is the Government for you. Backwards PC- You can't flatter with a wolf whistle now but you can insult us women on our attire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRIONY just dress professionally in a professional environment.
This is so true, I had hOCD and then suddenly I didn’t. Don’t know how or why but I just get discomfort when true crime plays up on tv. Nothing more. I had anchored my life so much around not giving into compulsions and learning to be a third person to my thoughts and constantly just had it consciously or subconsciously when it’s gone, I don’t know what to fill that big spot and find myself searching for it now. I don’t know what I did before I got my OCD, I knew I had a life before it but i just can’t live like that anymore. Someone please drop suggestions kindly.

I was cured from OCD by believing in GOD and knowing the purpose of my life, and starting in achieving my goals and being involved in charity activities, HAVING OCD is one of the most bad experience you may face in your life, it ruins your life.
I kind of feel the same way
There's no cure for OCD.
@justanotherfanboi religion is not the cause for OCD, it's only a symptom/theme of people who go through, there's no connection between being religious and increasing the risk of OCD.
God can cure anything. I agree with you.
I've watched this video 46 - 47 - 48……..
Dude she walked of the red circle so many time ahhhhhhhhh
Not appropriate outfit for a talk
Darwin Ruiz
sundriedtomayto whats the problem with what shes wearing? she gave her story which was hard enough to be said and said it in an outfit she was comfy wearing, who are we to judge her when it wasnt any of us up there..... as im saying with maria k's post, why not focus on the story shes trying to convey and raise awareness of ocd and is helping sufferers feel less alone and helping people that maybe have not been diagnosed and just watch this and go see a doctor as they feel the same.... ive only covered a few of the topics that this story supports and those are enough to just thank her for giving her story bravely infront of the world, isnt it the story that matters. said i said with maria k. would you judge van gogh for him cutting his ear off or by his paintings and dont be so judgemental for how hard this girl must have worked and felt to even give this story without being degraded for no good reason......
"Not appropriate outfit for a talk".
Great outfit for a talk which breaks the stereotype of what an "appropriate" outfit should look like. By the way, I like the shorts))
Don't worry, i'm not hassling you. That's why she wore it, think about it. Cultural conditioning and something we males don't really touch on as it means nothing to us. Other women's opinions. I smile at someone that is poking fun in their own way at the rest of us, wouldn't you?
I enjoyed her outfit. I've actually clicked on the video because of her look :)
No one else seems to give a shit lol I'm sure if it really mattered they would have informed her of a dress code.
I found the therapy these legs on my wall
What a set of legs!
I was about to say the same thing and I am a lady :)
She gave a great talk on a serious topic and all you notice is her legs? You're disgusting.
@@soap7368 maybe she should not have worn that
@@gabrielle-d1b agreed. it is distracting
Who could take her seriously with that outfit!
I have OCD and I think that the shorts she's using are related to the disorder, because she probably always has to take a shower and wash all her clothes (when arriving at home) and smaller clothes are just easier to wash.
Right?? Like, I'm sorry but it's ridiculous, her shorts are TINY >.< and all the men in the audience seem to be trying not to look at her legs and just waiting anxiously for her to leave
how can someone so fked up behaviourally still have so many boyfriends even a husband and do so many "normal" things like go to college? makes one wonder
You have no clue.
How can you be such a goddamn negative bitch about someone else's life story? Get a life and get some therapy.
Karma I have contamination OCD. I go to parties and kiss boys and go to high school but my OCD makes things harder. It’s about not letting your brain control your life.
It's because people suffering from ocd have the strongest minds. It's also because making sure that nobody will notice that something is wrong is a big priority for ocd mechanisms. Ocd wants to stay undetected, so it can keep its tight grasp on you. I can do things that completely freak me out inside, giving myself a time lapse for the compulsion I need to do to "clear" myself so I can do that later and in private and nobody will notice.
This woman assaulted a 71 year old woman in Sedona this week.
Aside from the fact that your comment is an outright lie, do you have nothing better to do with yourself than bully someone who spends her life helping others? Ridiculous.
