These people were SO vulnerable. The world was not as accepting of mental illness back then as it is now. How brave they were to be so honest on TV. I remember this being the first time I ever saw my OCD being talked about open & honestly.
I think this is the episode where I actually learned and understood what OCD actually is. Since then I never described myself as ocd for mundane reasons

@@lwest71 I do think I have both of those episodes (they’re both great). I’ll check, and if I do I’ll go ahead and get them scheduled for either late July or August. ☺️
I've been looking for this episode for so long. I remember watching it in middle school and I felt so bad for everyone in this episode. I hope they are all doing better these days 💔
Im 31 now and this episode is one the ones i remember the most and I never really herd of OCD before this episode so it definitely gave me some perspective on it
I had been diagnosed with OCD at 10 years old, and I was 14 when this episode came out. I remember watching it inbetween scrubbing my hands in the bathroom raw because I felt like they were contaminated. It felt oddly good to see people on the TV who I felt like could understand my intense disorder. Years, many different medications, and several hospitalizations later, it still feels weirdly comforting to watch this. Sometimes OCD feels so isolating. You know you aren't the only person in the world who suffers from it, but it sure does feel like it sometimes.
Def wish I’d seen this episode as a kid, wasn’t diagnosed with OCD until I was 17 and by that time it had become all-consuming and impossible to function. The worst for me is the religious OCD like Morgan has, because it leeches into the foundations of your belief systems. nothing I think or do isn’t in some way related to my OCD. Just started medication for it at 24 and I’m still learning to recognize the irrational thought processes and such
By chance, do you have the episodes Im Dead Broke, Im a Staten Island Girl, Im in an Arranged Marriage or my all time fav Im Moving Back In With My Parents? Every time I make Lasagna, I cant stop shouting “ NOODLES SAUCES CHEESES!!”😂😂😂😂😂
@@Ukester90 😆 Same! And I do not have any of these 4 episodes, but they are on my list to look for. So if I’m lucky enough to find any of them I’ll certainly share them. ☺️
@@LetsGoBack-yt even if you cant find them, appreciate yah for the ones you do have and sharing it with us who also misses those “back in the days” vibes
@@danam2536 I’ve just been sitting on the VHS tapes from when I recorded them when they aired. But I finally made the time to digitize them and knew I had to share. For the ones I don’t already have, I have some friends and colleagues who are just as big of a nostalgia collector as I am and they have had some episodes I didn’t have.
I empathize with the redhead whose mother doesn't want to choose the apple but at the end of the day, you cannot expect other people to participate in your mental health issues 100% of the time. It affects them too and they deserve a break.
my dad passed away a couple weeks ago, and I wish I had even a little bit of OCD that he was going to die. You think the ones you love will be there forever. Hug your loved ones tight, because it doesn't last forever. RIP KLC 1958-2024
I pray for you that yours does not get any worse over time. Mine unfortunately did. It started out small, and even tho mine did not prevent what I was scared of from happening, it still made it worse. Made me feel like I had to do it more. It is a very stressful thing to live with for sure. Break it before it gets worse if you can. I still tell myself everyday that God has got us, and things will be fine, even if I do not give in. Anyone living with it knows somewhere in the back of their mind that it is whack to deal with, but something in the back of their mind still forces them to give into it all. It is a mess. We will survive. I am determined to overcome it all tho.
I actually have OCD. It use to be horrible over the years it’s calm down. I hate when people say I have OCD. I’m like no you don’t it’s not a badge of honor.
My thoughts exactly. She verbalized her “compulsions” were because things “didn’t feel right,” when compulsions are enacted to prevent a very feared event from occurring. She claimed to need to wash her hands 8 times before leaving the bathroom, but multiple times her hands were shown close up and they were not dry or cracked which commonly occurs for those with hand washing compulsions. She also enters her room after her mom wouldn’t pick an apple in less than 8 seconds which was one of the “compulsions??” I could go on. Lol totally put on.
My husband and both children have diagnosed ocd. This is so hard to watch. It just validates that this is a disease of the mind. the segmant about number of kisses he has to give his partner is so close to home...
this used to be me thankfully over the years my ocd has pretty much gone away as time has passed it’s gotten better compared to how it was a few years ago i mean it was intense tbh
I have MAJOR OCD....😢😫😟 I'll say it's def. Time consuming n mentally/physically for me. 😫😟 It's so draining to do my compulsions n rituals til they "feel right".
do you have any episodes of famulous life or this other celenrity show I forgot from E. It was on Saturday mornings and talked about celebs and I used to be obsessed with it in the early 2000s
They just jumped right into exposures with the brunette that was worried about losing her mom. Supposed to do ritual prevention first so she doesnt create new compulsions.
I think that is because they just didn't have that knowledge back then. Exposure therapy for OCD was in a much earlier stage than it is now and there was less knowledge and experience in treating OCD
You would think it might help, but it does not lol. It made it all way worse for me when I tried it again. I used to smoke all day everyday, and then quit for a few years. My MIL thought it would help me to pick up a strain for anxiety, supposedly was going to help ease it. Well, it did not. It made me the most anxious had been in years. I am sure if I could get thru the normal original anxiety portion that comes with it and get used to it again, it may help. I wish I could do it again. I was much better off when I was used to it. But when I had that chance that day, I was just doing more, praying for it to be over soon. 😢
@@GivingPayback all I can say is I’m glad you tried! I hate i notice, and speaking for myself, is that feeling will come, but it’s moreso from the feeling of the high. When you get used to it, you can settle in your mind and be ok. Either way, respect!
I think Jessica made it all seem like a joke while Ryan showed the real uncontrollable, mental illness part of it all. The other girl just needed to grow up and get off of her mom's teet.
Why is it always somebody else's responsibility to protect you when the information needed to protect yourself is right there before you even click on the video?
Oh dear Lord 🤦♀️ So many people need to seriously, honestly, and sincerely get over themselves frfr Like, seriously. And I don't mean that disrespectfully. I mean that's the issue with people needing trigger warnings. They're so focused on self and self is nothing more than a prison.
No one has ocd…why bc it’s completely treatable not as bad as weak people make it seem just bc they can’t overcome doesn’t mean it’s hard just means they can’t do it things can be cured it’s the people that have to want it more than being weak and not in control of your life they let things control them they don’t maintain the control therefore it’s easy to manipulate them we are way more capable and powerful as human beings people just love to make excuses
Not true at all. I am one of the strongest people I know. But still in the back of my mind, there are little rituals that I have to do to feel OK. I have tried so very hard to just leave it alone and not do any of it. But my form revolves around possible harm being done to the people I love if I don't do it. Much like the one girl. I have 4 kids and a husband. I can totally tell myself all day everyday that it is not real, and that God is stronger than any of it all, and that if I do not give in, he still has us and will carry us thru.... but then there is the strong pull from the OCD that still says "no, count to 22 bi+ch".... it is very hard when it is a real thing inside of you. I have to read things a certain way, touch things a certain way, some things revolve around a count.... it just depends on what it is. IT SUCKS ASS.... and I WISH it was as simple as just not doing it at all. I do try to force myself to not give in. It started with me right before my Dad passed, and it started with something very simple when looking back at it all. It used to be only that I had to touch things a certain way, for example, my mailbox at the time. It was about touching it a certain way, while doing a certain count. My Dad still unfortunately passed away. So I am not stupid. I know in the very back of my very smart mind that it does not matter. But there is still something there that creates a control. I try my best to beat it everyday and just pray for God's protection over us all, whether I give into it or not. But if you have never dealt with it, you do not know how STRONG the impact can be!!!! It is hard for anyone to understand, unless they live it. It is a really crappy thing to deal with and live with, and it can be extremely debilitating to the point it effects your everyday life in negative ways. You spend so much time doing those things you know are stupid, but feel forced to, that it effects getting other things done. Things that matter. I feel I have come a long way, because it actually got worse after my Dad's death. I have had to coach myself. But it is still hard, it is still bad.
These people were SO vulnerable.
The world was not as accepting of mental illness back then as it is now. How brave they were to be so honest on TV.
I remember this being the first time I ever saw my OCD being talked about open & honestly.
This is why i no longer say that i have OCD, just because i like things, clean, be neat, and sanitized. OCD is an actual disorder.
Yeah, it's pretty awful, I have Autism, ADHD, and OCD. The Autism and OCD work in tandem with each other quite often 😅🥹🫠

I had been diagnosed with OCD at 10 years old, and I was 14 when this episode came out. I remember watching it inbetween scrubbing my hands in the bathroom raw because I felt like they were contaminated.

The "smashed bloody heads" line has been in my brain since this aired.
