The Dark Truth of Living With OCD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2024
- This powerful documentary follows the lives of several young people as they attempt to live a normal life in the face of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. With their constant fight being internal and an often secret war with frightening intrusive thoughts, they are compelled to complete endless rituals - convincing them that terrible things will happen if they don't. We meet them as they take those first steps into adulthood battling to conquer their OCD demons.
It's hard enough for young people to find their place in the world. But for some, whether they're coping with a psychological illness or are facing major challenges, just getting through each day can be a struggle.

I don't think Sarah's father should have disclosed that her condition drove his marriage to the brink. I can foresee that becoming an obsession for her and exacerbating her anguish.
Totally agree. I thought - oh man, don't add another thing for her to worry about and more stress. That put a lot on her. 😢
@@i_love_rescue_animals Right? You could see it on her face when she asked them, "Really?" There's something about the father that rubbed me the wrong way. He seemed spiteful.
As if our burdens aren’t already heavy enough! I saw Dr. Phil do this to a guest who was with her family to discuss her ED on the show. He basically inferred that she was selfish by saying “look at what you’re doing to your family!” It made me angry.
@@apriledmonds9738 Dr Phil is a sham. He regularly uses guilt-tripping and shaming tactics to get his guests to comply.
I'm not sure about this. She and her family agreed that she was doing a whole lot better than before, and it is evident in the documentary compared to the video and stories of her. Maybe her father thought that she could handle the truth now. I think we tend to try to protect the people we love from the truth because we don't want to hurt them, but the truth can be really therapeutic.
Intelligent, sensitive, anxious people. Each one gives valuable insight. Appreciate this documentary
I have an obsession with time treval . reference to science fiction.
I also have OCD and this is awful because you loose a lot of time doing non sense things. As much as I feel stressed and anxious the rituals get worse. It s look like everything is out of the "right" place and position. It s a completely hell.
Worst is the effect it has on family dynamics. Growing up it caused lots of heated arguements. Especially my father would become very angry towards me. I don't remember calm understanding ever.
Yep, I'm thankful that I somehow "grew out of it", but before leaving the house, I would have to check the heater, range, and faucets at least 4 times to make sure they were all off. It was a terrible way to live.
I've suffered from OCD since childhood. I'm now 54. In my time NOONE understood it. Oh the stories I could tell!!
100% relate to everything said. I've had various forms of OCD throughout my life, starting at around age 9-10 till now , early 50s. I've had years of OCD free and those are the years I get to live. Otherwise it's an internal prison. I've learned to live with it by now, not expecting this to ever go away.
carnivore diet will heal you along with a parasite cleanse. this works. lots of channels on both. take care.

@@jansmith3158A massive load of bs. There is no point of any kind of "parasite cleanse" unless you actually have a parasite, btw these fad "cleanses" or "detoxes" are all scams. You know nothing about what you're talking about, and nothing about OCD.
I used to struggle with OCD as well for a period, couldn't even write and read anymore, or pick anything up without spending at least 15-30 minutes on rituals. It was really insane. Can't imagine it being chronic...
If you “got over it” you never had OCD.
@@jeannineterese1037 if your mindset is that you know everything you will never learn
Some people can get ocd symptoms sometimes from high levels of stress or trauma. I forget what it's called
@@zeeschelp “Unfortunately, OCD doesn't just go away. There is no “cure” for the condition. Thoughts are intrusive by nature, and it's not possible to eliminate them entirely. However, people with OCD can learn to acknowledge their obsessions and find relief without acting on their compulsions.”

Please can you help us with tips on how you lost interes on ocd rituals ? I am struggling ocd from some years now and it would be helpful maybe ! Thank you ! Glad u recovered 🥰
The checking of windows and doors along with the power sockets is me every time I go leave my house. And if I forget or am not paying attention I have to start again. Also the counting
This is me too... Power sockets and locking doors - at the apartment, at work, car...

There is no way to capture OCD in film, but this tries.
The even numbers thing i can relate... i was OCD sufferer early teens & literally came from nowhere and heard voices telling me to count everything i see, patterns , objects etc... coming from a 3rd world religious country my mom thougt i was posessed and sent me to a priest, who then performed a sort of excorcism... turned out its just OCD, but at that time it felt like a prison in my mind thankfully outgrew it but sometimes have OCD tendencies..I feel so bad for these individuals I hope they also outgrow it somehow.
This documentary is so informative. It truly reflects a lot of OCD compulsions.
I've learned to manage the OCD. Coping with stress helps a lot
I don't have OCD, but I have a lot of OCD tendencies, most notably the skin picking. It's so embarrassing. I can't even imagine what it's like for OCD sufferers.
Take a break on meth
Got excited; thought this was new. Aggravated. 😤😤
I think everyone has certain rituals they do out of habit. I suppose when it becomes problematic to the point that it’s negatively impacting your life it’s OCD. I’m a picker and when I am under a great deal of stress I destroy my fingers and nail beds. It is painful and embarrassing and definitely OCD.
I feel for these people cursed with this. I hope they find some relief someday.
Yeah, it's definitely torture living like this. When I was younger, I also had OCD behavior, but thankfully I somehow grew out of it. Before leaving the house, I would have to at least quadruple-check the heater, range, and faucets to make sure they were all turned off. When I was in grade school, when someone touched or tapped me, I had to touch that person back. Kind of like that cooties game, but much worse. It was terrible!
I’m not OCD but I’m PTSD and I can relate to a lot of these things. sending love to my siblings living with OCD
Serin’s fiancé is so lovely, I hope they have a beautiful marriage.
Amazing how the feelings can be so overpowering there’s nothing you can do about it in the moment… i really don’t understand OCD but I’ve seen videos of treatments and therapies people can do.
I say all this in the first 5 minutes of the video. So my viewpoint may change!
Much love to everyone, everywhere.
That is no joke, i feel so bad for them.
I’ve had severe ocd since I was little it’s only getting worse and it’s ruining and has ruined my life and caused a tremendous amount of stress smh it is absolutely awful!!!!!!
I also have ocd and i understand this hell. I m going through the same thing.
Omg. I remember when I was like that. Everything needs to be 8 times.
I often talk and scold myself to stop. Or wash my hands till the whole sink is wet.
Sometimes the door handle or whatever I touch broke.. cos too many times being checked😅
Now I am free of that!! 🎉
It started when I was small. Ard 7/8 yes old.
I went to the kitchen to pee. But I realise the gas was on..!when everyone is asleep!
And my family LOVE to suffocate the house and me with all windows and doors closed when asleep
From that time I start to OCD.
Not a joke to stop it. It takes a while. But I did it 😊❤
my ocd is like finding the part of the video that was in the thumbnail and freak out if i dont.
Me: "Did I leave the stove on? Oh well, I'll check the news later."
This is driving my ocd through the roof
Click off.
I have OCD and its very hard. I constantly trying to work against my thoughts. Gets extremly exhausting.
you are not alone I just walked a number of times back again and again in the same place my frienddd
There are many expressions of OCD as well. I have social OCD and my compulsions are so pervasive and disruptive. I am 26, and I still cannot have interactions/conversations with people without my compulsions taking up space. But I am getting better. It take sometimes years
Those drawers are just evil & possessed! It's maddening to a stable mind to wonder if they'll stay shut- how unfair to have to endure such demented furniture! Please, someone get this dear girl a better dresser with drawers that don't sneak around.
Early on in my life when I can could see patterns or fears developing in my life I would challenge myself and face them until they weren't a problem anymore. I'm thankful that I managed to get it whilst it was just beginning.
Ocd is genetic you don’t just get it because you failed to face your fears early. You need to have the gene for it
I'm 44 years old and I do have BPD but I also noticed that I do have a germaphobe situations and I do have situations where I am uncommonly afraid of things which I do seriously
I nanny/clean peoples houses/dogsit and while it's a dream that I get to be paid for that stuff it's hell. Taking care of other peoples dogs and children and houses means everything is ramped up to the max. Checking everything, making sure everyones safe obsessively, not to mention the fear of germs (which kids are uh... germs embodied). I had to quit nannying consistently for schedule reasons but really because trying to run away from getting sick all the time and taking care of the kids (who were always sick) was intense. One time the kid kept coughing and so I held my breathe and had to make an excuse to get up for a second to walk away or turn my face every time. I didn't breathe that much that day haha. I still babysit when they ask and do the other jobs though. I've never run from the anxiety entirely and I never will :).
I know I'm diagnosed severe OCD, but my form is so different than what is displayed on this video. I guess mine is more mechanical than ritualistic. It feels so different.
yeah its so different for everyone. its just hard to represent all of the kinds when it can literally be about anything ):
Everyone has done something similar but getting stuck into doing this has to be a nightmare
we can overcome it and He can help family. i used to be a germophobe. i used to like the world and thought i was maintaining it by the ocd. we just have to be willing to take a step into the perfectly imperfect world and work on rational pursuit of our tendency. He helps us family. you are not alone and also how He made us can be used as an advantage
Now, you are obsessed with him
picking my skin right now as i watch this... ugh, entire life.... like she said, trance for hours.
Take a break on yaba
I have suffered from this disorder for many years. I have found taking Valerian tablets very useful. I also knit, this I find very soothing.Conuting is the one I find very difficult.I do believe in distraction and using my OCD in the most positive ways I can.
This is a great advice
Inositol which is in foods like peas, onions, garlic, and brown rice seem to be beneficial for those with OCD. It is not an immediate benefit as it takes about three months. Also peas and onions feed our gut bacteria which is good.
There is still too much stigma around OCD. Workplaces do not handle any mention of it or know what it actually is. Most people think it is cleaning your house too. often.
I had it for awhile in my teens. Would touch the doorknob and count over and over, would bop my head in my pillow over and over before allowing myself to sleep etc
I also suffer with OCD so for example when I'm walking I need to take a number of steps or look at someone a certain number of times and I would have to rewrite things and reread something in a book or else something bad will happen to me or my family.
Thank you for shining light on this debilitating monster ❤
Glad my odd did not make me wash my hands over and over. My ocd just stopped one day
I’ve never met anyone else whose ocd just stopped like mine. I’ve had two periods of ocd as a kid, both times it was extreme and lasted years and suddenly stopped both times.
Wait what?? It just stopped?! Oh my gosh I need to know more
Although it sounds like there's no more to know 😂
And remember OCD doesn't mean that the person needs to be tidy or neat. There are people who are OCD but they are completely opposite of tidy or clean. They are completely disorganized, messy, and dirty.
It is a way to cope with fear that causes anxiety
What helps is facing it
You ever wonder the unnecessary stress from education caused or exacterbated this mental illness
I would like to know what is the underlying cause of ocd? What is the event or series of events that triggered the feelings of being unsafe which only the rituals can cure? I’m glad these people are in therapy and getting better.
I suspect it's a brain disorder. I'm not a doctor but learned alot through the years not only majoring in medical terminology and transcription. I need answers, my parents needed answers and my pediatrician simply said "I would grow out of it" very frustrating! 😔✌🏻🙏🏼🩷
I know I'm making another comment but just to let you know I followed UA-camr and sometimes she talks about her skin picking disorder which is called dermatillomania. She said she was talking to a therapist who said that dermatillomania could be caused by people who either have ADHD or OCD.
My OCD was if I say, hit my arm on the doorknob, I’d have to hit the other arm in the same place and at the same strength. If it wasn’t the same strength then I’d have to hit the first arm again at the lower strength, and then the other at the first strength. It could go on and on until I felt both arms had been hit evenly. 🤦🏼♀️ I also had to have everything pristine and lined up. I’m much better on those things now.. but I have the skin picking (dermatillomania).
Im not sure if i have this but i get a thought in my head and i worry about it constantly and it wears me out evan wakes me up its exhausting.
ive had this for a longtime
I always check if my car is definitive in neutral by moving the shifter to left and right for over a 20 or 30 times
I realized I have OCD just the other day😢😢the counting I have been doing all my life
Im afraid some of the parents reactions and berating language will stress out their children more. I think telling someone to calm down is so unhelpful. Accepting and caring for their emotions is important.
Part of the issue is that the parents don’t help them get to a doctor and to a psychologist to deal with this and find out what’s at the core here. Heading in for a disgnosis isn’t enough. Jeez, so much suffering for these young people when much could have been deslt with instead of having it escalate for years on end. I wish they had proper support❤
Part of the issue too, however, is access to mental healthcare practitioners to begin with. People's guardians may be trying to get them the help they need from people qualified to provide it, but if you have to wait X number of months or years before seeing them (due to shortages of appropriate mental healthcare professionals) then that's going to delay treatment.
Outside of that at least one of the parents didn't think realize the gravity of what was going on and that too would likely further delay treatment. If you can't recognize that various behaviors are a sign of something deeper, or if you can't see the behaviors to begin with, trying to get someone the help they need in a timely way is just not going to happen.
@@Knitspin That’s not the case here, considering they’ve been struggling since childhood! The idea that there is zero ability to get healthcare that has knowledge of OCD, in a modern society is just wrong and should not be entertained! Sometimes you need to go to the next town over to get help! You will also have people on benefits that get help sith these things. Educate yourself before making excuses as to why you have for example one parent who think they can get their adult child out of it by telling them kind things.
@@soilgrasswaterair Tell me you've never tried years to get truly adequate treatment for a mental health issue without tell me...
Never mind that not everyone is able to just go to the next town over to get healthcare (mental or physical healthcare). I have a not inconsiderable amount of knowledge and experience in relation to access to mental and physical healthcare and have navigated doing so for myself in multiple countries. To assume that it is always easy, straight forward, and/or not fraught with truly horrific wait times due to factors including shortages of doctors/therapists, shortages of inpatient beds, and insurance coverage is naive.
Perhaps she should get some new drawers? I know it’s not going to be a cure, but at least it would be one thing she might not have to think about? Her father seemed pretty upset about her ocd, so this might be one tiny thing he could do to help her. Just a thought.
That would be fueling it by giving in. The obsession will just shift to something else.
Please look at the law of one. We are all deserving of our place here on earth, all part of everyone and everything around us. It has helped me a lot
I eat pizza over & over till I want chicken/ tacos or Subway / McDonald's then I eat that over and over till I want soup or peanut butter and jelly. For most of the year. Over 20 years. I'll check the door and get in my car and get out the car and then check the door again cuz I don't remember if I locked it before I leave the house. check windows to make sure nobody busted them . because I know they are locked . Some things can just be left out and other things not because I'll forget where they are if I leave them out.
I’ve struggle with all these things obsessively.. 4:54 I caused that issue is me!! I have to be touching wood 24/7.. I’ve got issues with me arms because nights I’ve forgotten wood, I’ll sleep with my arms on my wooden bed head above my head.. I have a small piece that I have on my hip in my underwear band.. it’s against my body so I’m touching wood.. odd numbers make me panic horrendously!! Something bad will happen if I’m not touching wood.. if my sleeping and something bad happens in my dream and if I’m not holding wood when I’m sleeping, that bad thing will happen..
Does anyone here have somatic OCD.
yes, I've got a lot of different kinds, that's one of them
I completely understand OCD! I suffer from it since childhood. My socks needed to be straight, my t-shirt needed tucked properly and eye wash my hands over and over. Its heartbreaking and can affect your marriage. My husband has neen patient and i struggle every day with bizzare, intrusive thoughts! 😢
Do you suffer from perfectionism? I feel like there is a link. I was very OCD, but it got a bit better as I got older. I can relate to the hand washing. I still try avoid writing as much as I can because its never perfect. The idea that once the ink makes its mark its impossible to change it (like you can with a smartphone) is what stresses me out the most. I think OCD comes from perfectionism and the fear of not being in control? Somehow our rituals keep us safe (or at least we think they do).
@@dlyras absolutely 💯
@@dlyrasYou don't suffer from perfectionism, because you can't suffer from a non harmful personality trait.
I have sligth OCD abt my health issues i had health issues since childhood and i have a sligtly bit higher pulse and im extremly ocd abt my pulse which makes it so much worse. I have to chech and test it all the time and my sleep im such a bad sleeper and i have so bad OCD abt sleep
hope you're ok :(
I've struggled with ocd for many year but its gone worse and its not at all easy to deal with by any means but I was laughing my ass off in the first minute cus its so relatable but it rally looks so stupid if someone were to walk in.
this makes me feel so good that there are a lot of us that are crazy like me that we do things for no reason at all but for us it makes sense I love you all so much I am ONE OF YOU !!!!! I am like you I understand you I am crazy too I walk back then walk forth again and back again and I touch the door 4 5 6 7 9 100000000000098 times ad then some more stuff and then I relax because a lot of you exist too that are like me ... this whole comment of mine is ocd comment I have to put all that oh well oh wellll be well be well ...
Best practice that i have found to OCD is meditation and introspection, reading and learning about non dualism, practising it and taking ssris when it becomes extreme but never give up doing what you love in life is the best way out of this mind prison.
I felt sorry for Serin when the video started playing
I once read an article that corolates these behaviors with autism
Autism can have similar behaviors of OCD, and OCD can even be a comorbidity of autism, but they're generally separate disorders.
✨BREATHE , What A Beautiful Release🙏🏾💖🪷🧘🏾♀️✨💫
OCD is a double-edged sword, as one M.D. PSYCHIATRIST once put it.
everyday, everyday. Probably explains my Internet addiction and OBSESSIVE number of posts on these, lol.
If one is not careful, this disorder, which really IS a brain DISEASE, and yeah, an incurable one, if one does not get help, YES, it CAN lead to su!cide.
I have pure O and its crushing
ERP therapy is the way. I was agoraphobic at one point. Now I travel the world.
I would count the clothes pegs and they had to be colour cornated as I hung my clothes out!! Now I just put everything on clothes hangers, No more pegs…..I often wondered if that was OCD🤨🕊️
I do understand where some of them are coming from. The part where you have to count and do a ritual it annoys the crap out of me but I'm not going to judge people because well that's their life and they can live at however makes them feel comfortable. For me my kind of OCD is I have to finish this task if and I can't then it makes me anxious. Also all my nail polish and makeup products have to be organized nicely. My room has to be clean and I'm the one who does a lot of the chores in the house because I clean a specific way. Of course I have like asthma and arthritis and sometimes it takes me longer to clean than most people because of those specific health conditions but I like to be the one who cleans. Especially the dishes. My OCD is not that bad and it is mild but I can understand that one lady when she panics wondering where her phone went when it's misplaced. Also I've been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or also known as high functioning autism or also known as Asperger's syndrome and my autism is mild.
I hope they all get therapy, thats the only thing that can make life more livable
14:02 thats a glow ip
The only thing that helps curb my OCD & ADD is… marijuana. Cannabis. The wacky tobacky 🌬️💨💨💨
I would let them try some medic thc to relax,could help in the way to let loose a bit.
Medicine seriously should start developing a medication or efficient method to cure this "illness" once for all, believe me it's not fun.
Two of these girls seem like they're absolutely faking it for attention and are just doing what they think OCD is like based on movies like Matchstick Men Etc, I dated a girl who had a sister with real OCD and most of her texts were extremely unflattering but all of these girls have ticks and compulsions that they think make them look quaint or quirky
The dad remark was not cool at all like wtf its not her fault if she have ocd nobody say that you as a parents you don't suffer but she is the one who suffer the most and with that comment nothing help at all like why would you say that
SHE IS THE MAIN VICTIM
I don’t have the patience to deal with ppl like this but God bless them. 🤦🏽♀️
I can kind of understand. I get frustrated dealing with myself as well. but I'd just encourage you to think about how people with OCD feel. if your annoyed and tired of it, imagine how tired we are of living with it. no hate tho I can understand
15s in and this is not for me 😭 my hands ache wanting to pick up their little counting, petting habits.. consider me triggered and going to another video lmao. probably a decent documentation of ocd if i could not last longer than that
waswasa
I do a lot of these things👁️👁️.... And I have the even number thing. Guys Ijust learned something
don't they make meds to help with this ?
Because OCD is a way of binding anxious feelings. It’s in the DSM as an anxiety disorder
They do make meds that help with the lessen the OCD thoughts and the severity. I personally am on meds for OCD and it helps me in certain areas.
they do. but they don't work for everyone. for some people it makes it worse. also some people get health conditions from it. and some people just can't afford it or don't have access to it. so its just a difficult situation
They are using MRI to see if it can help with conditions similar to OCD.
@@islandbirdwMRI's are just brain scans. The medication used is SSRI's
So many people in the comments claim they have OCD, no you don’t. The people in this video have OCD, you just think you’ve forgotten to lock the front door.
What are you, their psychiatrist? You don't get to decide this.
Why isn’t there a trigger warning?!
Don’t we want people with ocd NOT to get further inspiration for new themes?
or inspo for coping mechanisms ergo rituals

Usually people with OCD are single. Think about it.
