I have anxiety and OCD, both. There have been times that I could not function, at all. I could not bathe, get out of bed, brush my hair, ECT. A few times, medical personnel had to be called because I couldn't breathe. Yes, it's debilitating. I've learned breathing and calming techniques over the years.
I have anxiety and OCD and anecdotally I can tell you that I have often convinced myself that I'm dying for various reason. I'm better now but still fear random things like blood clots and aneurysms and stuff that I can't control 🤷♂️
Norrin Radd I have the same too and I have as well. OCD is difficult, and I’ve been doing Cognitive Therapy it really helps. I still struggle with certain aspects especially if I’m alone or at night or a mixture. It can truly be so hard. All my best to you!
Lmao yeah... this guy sounds like me when I have a relapse. It’s kinda funny to see from an outside perspective. Pretty much anyone that’s goes to the doctor speaking perfectly coherently and claiming they are worried they’re schizo... are just incredibly anxious and need counselling. He’s sick for sure, but it’s not psychosis and it’s very treatable.
A part of anxiety is being really irrationally worried about your health. When i was younger i would google "Cancer symptoms" everyday because i was always scared of dying. I was later diagnosed with Anxiety disorder. I think hes just very very scared. And the OCD doesnt help because the thoughts just keep repeating over and over...
Literally Nothing at all You are so right about that. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and there have been times when I figured I had another mental illness because I was upset, or I figured my emotions went from sad to good. The truth is, we have distorted thoughts, negative thoughts that worsen our fears. This is why I avoid looking things up about my health, cause I know it’s not true that I might have this or that. I only put my trust in the doctors, because I feel they know more than I do.
Omg I did the same about 4-5 months ago!!! I lowkey did shrooms for the second time back in October. And since then I’ve had really really bad anxiety. I lost 20 pounds in about a week and a half. I was only sleeping 2-4 hours a night if I slept. I would look up cancer symptoms, stroke, heart attack, psychosis symptoms, etc. I constantly thought something was wrong with me. Now I’m on Prozac(SSRI) which causes my ears to ring all the time, scary vivid dreams, and I’m pretty depressed now. But at least some of my anxiety is gone and I don’t think I have every single disease or mental illness
There’s also a specific illness anxiety disorder (aka hypochondria) in which people obsessively check themselves for symptoms and may misinterpret regular bodily symptoms or cognitive sensations as a physical or mental disorder
Leigh Davis It’s a fairly common form of it, but in his case it’s really exacerbated, and it’s incredibly sad that he’s struggling so much. He needs a good therapist and start therapy to cope, as well as possible meds. But that’s between him and a Psychiatrist. I have OCD with anxiety as well as being High Functioning, my heart breaks for this poor guy.
Ayla Zelana Grebiel me too. I have ocd and anxiety and am high functioning but usually the most common ocd types are germ fears and number obsession or checking. I’ve heard of people being hypochondriacs but I’ve never heard of a research based ocd. The odd thing is that for ocd he doesn’t have a clear compulsion to relieve his anxiety. Like his obsession is with whatever goes in with his body and then his compulsion is looking up what could be wrong with him but his compulsion makes his anxiety worse as opposed to relieving it. That’s why I said it’s unique.
This man has already been diagnosed before. He has severe anxiety and depression. With bad enough anxiety, hypochondria can become extremely severe. He might have OCD, but he most definitely is a hypochondriac. Rather he wants to admit it or not.
Leigh Davis I have that problem I’m always researching mental health issues or other things and sometimes I think I have things that I probably don’t like most recently I thought I had oral trush cuz I looked up my symptoms and it always came up but I wen to the doctor and he said I seemed fine I didn’t believe him but after doing more research I found out it’s probably just because of my oral hygiene I also thought I had corona virus and I’ve always been the paranoid type when I was little I couldn’t watch conspiracy theory videos cuz I got paranoid I’ve always known I had anxiety but it was more social anxiety and worry
“How can OCD or anxiety be this debilitating?” Excuse me?!? Both conditions are incredibly debilitating if left untreated. He needs to educate himself.
Moreso OCD if you have it ontop of anxiety.... OCD freaking sucks!! It can be severely debilitating and make you so paranoid especially if u are in a bad pattern
@@lillygirl8436 obviously.. but we're talking about how you can simply be bipolar which has similiar symptoms to schizophrenia but it doesn't mean you have both. I'm living proof of that.
I have BPD and hear things at times of high anxiety or stress... not Scitzaphrenic.. not saying he isnt.. I am just saying sometimes hearing things doesn't equate to that particular mental health concern.
On the positive side, he's been able to hold down a steady job as a server, has had a girlfriend for at least two years, and apparently hasn't been severe enough to be admitted to a mental hospital.
aimeecreates sadly... and the worst of all is depersonalization can cause slight hallucinations that can make you think you have schizophrenia.. i hope he gets the help he needs
@@NailssByAllie Depersonalization does not cause hallucinations. It’s nothing more than a symptom of anxiety. People dissociate after activating the freeze response which we all have as mammals. Most people do not know that we have a fight, flight and freeze instinct. Most people with OCD will dissociate at least once in their lifetime.
@@nikolaikostov3964 i have depersonalization, what i meant by “hallucinations” is that it can visually mess with your eye sight causing 2D vision, tunnel vision, (those 2 being the most common) and more it can also mess with you hearing, making it seem like everything you hear is coming through headphones, or like youre in an auditorium and everything is echoing, or everything sounds too far away, etc
@@tylercarey8890 Literally had the same thing a few months ago. I was so convinced that I had it I checked myself into the hospital and on my second day they were like you don't have it but I only believed google. I'm doing much better now, did an anxiety programme and I'm currently getting cbt. It's really helpful. I'd recommend going down that root. Feel free to message me (deirdreadams393@gmail.com) if you need any advice. I know how hard it is and it would have greatly helped me to talk to someone who's been through it
“I’m not a hypochondriac - I spend 10 hours a day online looking at illnesses” I can’t help but laugh at that. There is something wrong - get help - you’re arguing semantics and refusing treatment because you aren’t getting the diagnosis you want.
Have some sympathy, he's got OCD, and as someone who is tackling the disorder myself I've had points of being convinced I have bipolar. Ocd is not a joke.
He is extremely hypochondriac, I have a friend who's like this. Everyday he messages me complaining about a new symptom and assumes the worst... it must be terrifying to live like this. Imagine just being in constant fear, it's debilitating and I honestly have no idea what can be done about it.
I know this might sound weird but this video is my comfort video. I have OCD and whenever I have huge themes I watch this video to ground myself. Literally every single thing he said is something I have dealt with almost everyday of my life and it helps to remind me I’m not alone and that my themes and obsessions are not reality.
SAME, you need to please look into spirituality… a spiritual awakening is the ONLY cure to this… you realize when you get to the end of it, that everything that’s ever happened in your life was for a reason, and you broke PERFECTLY.. I promise ❤
@@comprends2138 everyone has an opinion, and I think yours is wrong so…. How’s about if you don’t like peoples input and nothing else seems to work for people like this and like me, a full spiritual awakening and the releasing of the binds in our minds that are keeping people trapped feeling like this, keep scooting and maybe someone else will find the same comfort many other have by exactly what I said. Opinions are like buttholes, you know? Everyone has one 🤷🏻♀️ publicly disagreeing with someone’s valid opinion because you think you have a valid opinion.. that’s a pretty null in void mentality so why bother. What works for you, Vs. what works for many others, is not on you to chime in on. I set down an option.
People are stuck trapped not realizing what is real and isn’t real in this world and throughout the galaxy. Perhaps look up indigos children and starseeds and earth angels, check out some of these spiritual people on TH-cam allllll out here saying the same things and have FACTS backing them up. THAT, is why no one can get unstuck.
@@comprends2138 well how else do you heal? All the way…???? Not just medicate and deal with it for the rest of your life…? These disorders are NOT life sentences. They are levels you’re stuck at on the way to seeking out the truth, is all I’m proposing to anyone. When you look at the missing pictures, the ones that paint the BIG picture, which is the truth of this world, these ufos, secrets of the universe… alll available here on TH-cam if only people would dare look this stuff up without fear of it being a sin, fear of the government watching what you’re typing in and looking at.. that’s the only way to beat all of this depression and paranoia back. I’ve never been paranoid, but I understand why schizophrenics have been made to feel that way… the government and these bad entities driving hatred don’t want US, to look at THEM. They don’t want US, to wake up spiritually, and realize how badly we’ve all been…. So screwed, so entrapped, and the longer the minds of people are put on these hardcore medicines.. when they wake up, the damage and addictions have already been done in their minds and it’s heartbreaking. If everyone knew the truth, they wouldn’t be scared and depressed like this
Healthy anxiety is the worst thing ever. My anxiety gave me electric shocks etc. I convinced myself I had MS. Paid to have MRI, lumbar puncture etc. Clean as a whistle. I try and control it now through mindfulness and NOT GOOGLING SYMPTOMS!
People with anxiety often mishear things which they then misinterpret as hallucinating... I once thought I was schizo because I kept hearing a wooshing sound that resembled my name. Turns out I was so psyched out, even anticipating a hallucination, that my mind was changing the sound of cars driving by in the slush to resemble my name being whispered. This is completely normal if you have anxiety, that’s all he experienced, lmao. He’ll be fine with some counselling.
I have PTSD and generlized anxitey disorder and major deppressive disorder my doctor diganoised me two to three years ago and it's not fun because I thought the worst was flashbacks and feeling numb it's the feeling of being disconnected not just from family and friends and pets but from myself I'm in treatment and am doing much better
This exact thing happened to me! I have crippling anxiety and DPDR that have gotten better with medication and therapy, but a couple months ago before I was diagnosed I would have panic attacks everyday and think I was dying. I convinced myself I was going to have a seizure everyday and eventually it turned into fear of schizophrenia. I even convinced myself at the hair salon that I was hearing something and it freaked me out so bad I was trembling. I was just scaring myself which is a unfortunate symptom of anxiety. Over the course of the last couple months I feel like I’m almost back where I used to be but I totally sympathize with this guy. Therapy, medication, and family support was the best form of treatment for me, I hope everything gets better for you soon!
Please never Google any illness. Because each illness has some symptoms that might sound like yours. This poor guy ,I feel so bad for him. 😔 He is stressed out about being stressed out. I hope they can help him. 💗⚘🕊
I don’t understand this If he is absolutely certain that he has it, why did he say all my dreams will be shattered when I’m actually going to be diagnosed I think he is seriously paranoid and has severe anxiety
I dealt with this exact stuff. It's definitely OCD and for me to get through I did exposure therapy as well as taking an SSRI. Never thought I'd feel normal again before that.
I have derealization and depersonalization. It’s very depressing and debilitating. Mixed with anxiety and OCD thoughts, it truly does feel like you’re dying. I feel terribly bad for him. I can relate. It’s oddly comforting to know that other people are going through this. But I wish no one had to feel this way.
I can relate to Blake. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, derealisation disorder and agoraphobia. Anxiety can be extremely crippling, I have lost my job because of it and it got so bad I became homebound. Know your symptoms are real but don't undermestimate the power of your mind. It can cause you to feel any sort of things. I hope he gets the help he needs!
I feel so bad for him. I've recently developed a lot of anxiety around my health, and I know how scary it can be. I do have an anxiety disorder and OCD, and I think that his original diagnosis with that is what he truly has. Anxiety and OCD have pretty much taken over my life, so yes, they CAN be that debilitating, my dude. Very much so. I hope he gets the help he needs. When my downstairs neighbor passed away suddenly at 22 last year, and my husband passed away in 2018, I developed this fear of death, and it has been really hard to shake it. Especially when I do actually have quite a few health issues that have actually been diagnosed. I really really feel for this guy
a) it's not a mental illness unless it causes significant impairment in daily life. that's literally the point. b) every single mental illness has a list of symptoms and a minimum number required for diagnosis. "one or two" means you don't have it. the whole point of a diagnosis is that you have to meet the criteria for the diagnosis in order to get the diagnosis.
That’s just like my brother! He’s convinced that he is schizophrenic, and went to see several psychiatrists to verify his self-proclaimed diagnosis, and was told several times that he is not schizophrenic! He was also told to stop self-diagnosing because it’s not helping his everyday life. It doesn’t help that he is also an addict, and claims to remain an addict to overcome ‘his schnitrzophreia’!
I am diagnosed with OCD and his constant obsession and need for reassurance sounds a lot like what I go through. I really agree with his diagnosis of OCD. It really can be debilitating, it’s like mental torture
Part of the problem with self diagnosis is that you can placebo yourself into having symptoms. I think with such a "mild" sounding diagnosis of OCD, he subconsciously feels like it causes him so many issues that there needs to be a more intense mental disorder to justify his struggles.
At the age of 18 years old I was diagnosed OCD and cronic depression, then hospitalized for 6 months after a terrible suicidal attempt. Since then I just keep myself busy, stop whining and get a degree. Now I'm 43 years, I continue to keep myself busy with work and life because being in the darkness for too long can cause you to loose your only life.
He has OCD. OCD can be debilitating and convince you you have a disorder you don’t, I’m currently having this obsessions. The reassurance his mom is giving him isn’t helping, it actually further will make the ocd worse. He needs to go to ERP therapy, which will desensitize himself the fears and thoughts and will truly bring him clarity and allow him to be happy.
@MellowRainSN 23 Not sure if I want to say it....Years 2010-2012 in a youth ward and in adult ward since then... that means 12th year coming, but I will most probably get out this year. I have NOT KILLED ANYONE! I was/am just sooooo sick. Have a nice day.
Yep, realizing hypochondria... I had it for a while when I was young and everyone around me was different and I watched others going through health issues or mental disorders. Until I worked on my self image and health for years it didn't completely go away but also helped me to take preventative action on a couple health disorders that turned out to be real. I hope he gets help and feels better asap! It feels crazy studying schizophrenia and all the others, having at least what feels like a major symptom in all of them...
What he's experiencing is manic episodes from the stress and overwhelming feelings that ocd, anxiety, and depersonalization causes. I have all 3 of those also and it causes me to hallucinate sometimes when it sends me on a spiral
This isnt a manic episode. Manic episodes are not even remotely similar to this. Mania makes someone spew out a firehose of words, switching from thought to thought, people who are manic can spend 50,000 in a night. He cant even leave the computer usually
@@johndawn4612 wtf are you talking about?? manic episodes are exactly like this 🙄 not everyone does the exact same thing during a manic ep. i don't leave my computer or phone when im manic because I'm busy typing away or researching a million different things or working non stop on a project. manic episodes also often cause me to be unable to leave my bed or do anything actually productive because i feel so overwhelmed by the speeding in my brain. i feel like i can do anything but when there's a million things i want to do, where tf do i start
@@vidaliatheonionqueen well I also think its important to note that with mania the content may be different. Dr tracey marks did a video on it explaining that anxiety issues and mania are commonly misdiagnosed for each other. She explained that a truly manic person will have a firehose of words and generally all their energy during the episode comes out. And that she can generally tell who was misdiagnosed bipolar (happens ALL the time) because the anxious person suffers silently, with a zillion thoughts of worry in their head staying in and causing distress. So she said mania goes outwards, anxiety goes inward. And honestly in my experience, as someone with multiple relatives and friends with bipolar 1, this is def what ive personally seen.
@@johndawn4612 well tracey marks is wrong. not everyone's manic eps are the same especially if theyve been struggling for a long time and are self aware of their issues (even if they dont know what the cause is) and ESPECIALLY If they have other issues paired with it such as ocd. im bipolar and my energy is often inward because i dont like to let it out because it causes trouble. so it causes severe anxiety. and this often leads me into a mixed state. mix this with my ocd and it makes my anxiety explode. and once again, not everyones manic ep is the same. that outward energy isnt always going to be clearly visible. sticking to the computer all the time, researching or typing or working on a project is outward energy
This has the red flags of child abuse. Reassurance seeking from the person who was part of your anxiety. It is necessary for these people that you as the victim are destabilised so they dont have to confront what they are hiding. For his own health I hope that he is able to remove himself from the people who are perpetiating his illness and receives that the support he needs in his journey.
“How can OCD and Anxiety be so debilitating?” Oh trust me bro, OCD and Anxiety are tough to live with and if not treated, they can get in the way of life.
as someone with GAD and DPDR it is SO common to believe you are going crazy and theres MORE going on that what meets the eye... i feel this dude so much and i am so glad that dpdr is shown on this episode because i have waited for the day that its been shown on such a broad audience ❤️ i thank you SO much dr phil, for accepting him on your show for helping him... its terrifying to go through
currently crying now... its truly sad to know people feel so deeply scared for their lives.. from a disorder that is cured by nothing but pure willpower.. its truly tiring
I have schizo effective. I have been in hospitals for weeks on end. And then I would be discharged and not even a year later I would be in again. It's not fun having the relapses. Dr Phil is an amazing person!
Back when my anxiety was out of control worrying about finances, I would also spend several hours (6-10 or a whole evening and night) researching how deep in I must have been and ways I can “help” myself. I can’t imagine he doesn’t have an anxiety disorder.
Those with schizophrenia do not ask themselves if they have Skitzophrenia. And seizures involving somatosensory are separate and district . Basically if you ask yourself if your psychotic your not . Those that are are not able to tell .
Wow, so much to learn. I thought I was sczophrenic, I thought I was going insane. When I finally reached out for help I was diagnosed with OCD, GAD, Medical Anxiety and Depression. Anxiety is disgustingly debilitating 😢 I see so much of myself in this guy.
I'm actually diagnosed with schizophrenia. It's very debilitating & I'm heavily medicated. I feel for this man. It does seem as though he has OCD. I've heard that OCD, when really bad, can cause this sort of thing. I hope he gets the help and support he needs, not just for himself, but for his mum as well. Any kind of mental illness can be awful. As for looking up symptoms online, I think it's best to limit the amount of time you spend doing that as it can be pretty daunting and scary to look up all these illnesses and can be detrimental to your health. Clearly all this has made him poorly. I hope he gets the help he needs
I had the exact same experience. It’s mental torture. I have anxiety, and depersonalisation and thought I was developing psychosis/schizophrenia. I totally know what he means by the reassurance seeking. I feel horrible for him. I hope he finds mental peace soon.
I went through something exactly the same when I was like 10, bc the death of my grandpa traumatized me. I was like him but I "felt" that I would have a heart attack instead of mental illness...thankfully I got over it with facts, spirituality and just letting go of fear slowly, confronting your fears is the best desensitization
I didn’t realize just how debilitating anxiety is until this year actually. I hesitate to comment because I don’t have a diagnosis of a disorder and I know people get upset about that. but I’m pretty sure anxiety is what has caused a lot of my problems. so yeah I feel for him, I hope it gets better for him
All of these are systems of mental illness and worse he feels like nobody is listening to him how are other people going to tell him how he feels and what he is going through just because his mother doesn't want to accept that her son has real problems doesn't mean that he doesn't have problems his doctor should start with a making him feel like he is being heard and go from there
I have ocd and I also used to have a huge fear of schizophrenia! Because my uncle had schizophrenia and committed sucide and I had psychotic depression for a month and extreme anxiety this made me def afraid that I would start hearing voices I was also scared that I was gonna suffer psychotic and diabetic
This has made me so upset for so long. I have OCD as well and this is EXACTLY what me and my family looked like… wanna know why??? Probably because he saw the Psych2Go video on schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia videos and realized that THAT IS how he was feeling… because no one seems to notice that Religious/Scrupulosity OCD when put side by side with everything, IS everything. Then it makes you FEEL bipolar and drives you crazy… I hope he’s found the paths to a spiritual awakening because that’s the only way to make this stop. Like it did for me. DSM-5 got way too big, right on time. These people are trapped and getting screwed by evil forces mentally and can NOT escape until they stop falling down rabbit holes, and explore the RIGHT medicine… SPIRITUALITY. This is why the world is going crazy and why mental health professionals are bombed, and don’t know what to do. STOP with the mental racket… the root cause of anxiety and depression IS OCD and depending on how long you go without spirituality/ depending on the doctor you see, is how bad it snowballs. Look at what idiots Dr. Hughes and Dr. Speigel made of themselves at the Amber Heard trial…. THAT, is exactly what it’s like seeing any doctor. 100 can look at the same person and come up with different answers because they don’t incorporate spirituality or GOD in their textbooks and this is sickening, still. Or because they are gender biased/getting paid WAYYYY too much for their “expert opinions” like that unprofessional bird, Dr. Speigel.
Dude go to med school !!!! That's so much time spent researching and studying. If he could get his anxiety and paranoia under control he could turn this negative energy into positive outcomes.
It's not often I can't resonate with guests on the show but I resonate with this guy and I resonate on the deepest level because is suffering a very real problem, severe anxiety, which I did and still do suffer from, and anyone who has suffered from severe anxiety whether in the past or present knows the nightmare it can be, it'll ruin your life if it's left unchecked.
I actually had this type of ocd. I had a cousin who was schizophrenic. He went manic on me as a child and I would spend hours looking up mental illnesses to the point I had to sleep on the floor and wouldn’t leave the house
this is why self diognoised is absolutely horrible. obviously if you genuinly have syptoms, firguing out what it might be is fine, but you need to then go get diognoised and get help. if you are obsesed with research and keep self diosnoising you will get stuck in a horrible phase.
Sir know one who is experiencing psychosis or delusional is self aware and realizing that they’re being delusional until it passes, even then not always.
It’s also the doctors there are some that will put ideas in your head and make you believe it and put you on fifteen different meds I can’t count how many misdiagnoses I have had or meds I’ve been on
This guy is full of anxiety but it is based in his total insecurity and obsession with himself. He literally doesn’t have any interest in ANYONE but himself. Narcissism is a real sick disorder.
I have the same type of OCD but what really sparked it was drug use like weed and lsd so if any kids who have a history of anxiety or any mentall illness be careful and it has forced me to stay in from school o recently quit my job because i was having trouble sleeping it is a nightmare that sometimes you cant escape but trust it gets better it always does.
its hard for me to watch this. I have dealt with the same thing. i have ocd, anxiety and have literally thought i was becoming schizophrenic. dying of lymphoma, heart problems and so on. not easy.
“Anxiety and OCD can’t be this debilitating.” Oh, my dear boy, they can and they are.
Yes... It's horrible.
Oh YES IT CAN.
I have anxiety and OCD, both. There have been times that I could not function, at all. I could not bathe, get out of bed, brush my hair, ECT. A few times, medical personnel had to be called because I couldn't breathe. Yes, it's debilitating. I've learned breathing and calming techniques over the years.
Agreed sweetie!
I have successfully knocked myself unconscious twice in an anxiety attack.... it’s debilitating 1000%.

Mmmm alot of the time bi polar and being schizophrenic go hand in hand. Not saying always . But alot of the time
@@lillygirl8436 obviously.. but we're talking about how you can simply be bipolar which has similiar symptoms to schizophrenia but it doesn't mean you have both. I'm living proof of that.
I have BPD and hear things at times of high anxiety or stress... not Scitzaphrenic.. not saying he isnt.. I am just saying sometimes hearing things doesn't equate to that particular mental health concern.
@@shaunrios6497yes, exactly
Please don’t hate on him guys, this is a unique situation, he’s unwell!
Brainjock are you
Brainjock I love you too
It’s not unique. It’s a typical form of hypochondria.
Not unique, very common but most people don't talk about it on national TV.....
Its common
Sounds like OCD, Anxiety and hypochondria, yeah. Pretty much.
On the positive side, he's been able to hold down a steady job as a server, has had a girlfriend for at least two years, and apparently hasn't been severe enough to be admitted to a mental hospital.
instead of googling schizophrenia he should spend that time researching his actual diagnoses, he'd realize how well they fit his symptoms
aimeecreates sadly... and the worst of all is depersonalization can cause slight hallucinations that can make you think you have schizophrenia.. i hope he gets the help he needs
Or go to a real doctor that he won't reject.
@@NailssByAllie Depersonalization does not cause hallucinations. It’s nothing more than a symptom of anxiety. People dissociate after activating the freeze response which we all have as mammals. Most people do not know that we have a fight, flight and freeze instinct. Most people with OCD will dissociate at least once in their lifetime.
@@nikolaikostov3964 i have depersonalization, what i meant by “hallucinations” is that it can visually mess with your eye sight causing 2D vision, tunnel vision, (those 2 being the most common) and more
it can also mess with you hearing, making it seem like everything you hear is coming through headphones, or like youre in an auditorium and everything is echoing, or everything sounds too far away, etc
@@NailssByAllie you’re thinking of derealization
Definitely related to his OCD. I went down an OCD spiral where I thought I was schizophrenic too, and it really did feel real.
Me too. I hope you’re doing better now 💓
@@lila8546 I am! Hope you are too
@@tylercarey8890 Literally had the same thing a few months ago. I was so convinced that I had it I checked myself into the hospital and on my second day they were like you don't have it but I only believed google. I'm doing much better now, did an anxiety programme and I'm currently getting cbt. It's really helpful. I'd recommend going down that root. Feel free to message me (deirdreadams393@gmail.com) if you need any advice. I know how hard it is and it would have greatly helped me to talk to someone who's been through it
@@tylercarey8890 same here i cant stop obsessing over it

“I’m not a hypochondriac - I spend 10 hours a day online looking at illnesses”
I can’t help but laugh at that.
There is something wrong - get help - you’re arguing semantics and refusing treatment because you aren’t getting the diagnosis you want.
Hypochondria is definitely humiliating.
have some sympathy dude he is having a rough time
MediaClop I know this feeling I have this same theme
Have some sympathy, he's got OCD, and as someone who is tackling the disorder myself I've had points of being convinced I have bipolar. Ocd is not a joke.
How can anxiety and OCD be this debilitating
*anxiety and ocd* im bout to ruin this mans whole career
“How can ocd be this debilitating” my dear boy, ocd has ruined the last two years of my life
"How is OCD and Anxiety so debilitating?" You'd be surprised... the mind is pretty damn powerful
So true . I'm currently struggling with this .
He is extremely hypochondriac, I have a friend who's like this. Everyday he messages me complaining about a new symptom and assumes the worst... it must be terrifying to live like this. Imagine just being in constant fear, it's debilitating and I honestly have no idea what can be done about it.
Having health anxiety is not fun at all, trust me.
I know the feeling. I have OCD, and when I was 11 I thought I had cancer because of a stomach ache.
I know this might sound weird but this video is my comfort video. I have OCD and whenever I have huge themes I watch this video to ground myself. Literally every single thing he said is something I have dealt with almost everyday of my life and it helps to remind me I’m not alone and that my themes and obsessions are not reality.
SAME, you need to please look into spirituality… a spiritual awakening is the ONLY cure to this… you realize when you get to the end of it, that everything that’s ever happened in your life was for a reason, and you broke PERFECTLY.. I promise ❤
@@comprends2138 everyone has an opinion, and I think yours is wrong so…. How’s about if you don’t like peoples input and nothing else seems to work for people like this and like me, a full spiritual awakening and the releasing of the binds in our minds that are keeping people trapped feeling like this, keep scooting and maybe someone else will find the same comfort many other have by exactly what I said. Opinions are like buttholes, you know? Everyone has one 🤷🏻♀️ publicly disagreeing with someone’s valid opinion because you think you have a valid opinion.. that’s a pretty null in void mentality so why bother. What works for you, Vs. what works for many others, is not on you to chime in on. I set down an option.
People are stuck trapped not realizing what is real and isn’t real in this world and throughout the galaxy. Perhaps look up indigos children and starseeds and earth angels, check out some of these spiritual people on TH-cam allllll out here saying the same things and have FACTS backing them up. THAT, is why no one can get unstuck.
@@comprends2138 well how else do you heal? All the way…???? Not just medicate and deal with it for the rest of your life…? These disorders are NOT life sentences. They are levels you’re stuck at on the way to seeking out the truth, is all I’m proposing to anyone. When you look at the missing pictures, the ones that paint the BIG picture, which is the truth of this world, these ufos, secrets of the universe… alll available here on TH-cam if only people would dare look this stuff up without fear of it being a sin, fear of the government watching what you’re typing in and looking at.. that’s the only way to beat all of this depression and paranoia back. I’ve never been paranoid, but I understand why schizophrenics have been made to feel that way… the government and these bad entities driving hatred don’t want US, to look at THEM. They don’t want US, to wake up spiritually, and realize how badly we’ve all been…. So screwed, so entrapped, and the longer the minds of people are put on these hardcore medicines.. when they wake up, the damage and addictions have already been done in their minds and it’s heartbreaking. If everyone knew the truth, they wouldn’t be scared and depressed like this
Healthy anxiety is the worst thing ever. My anxiety gave me electric shocks etc. I convinced myself I had MS. Paid to have MRI, lumbar puncture etc. Clean as a whistle. I try and control it now through mindfulness and NOT GOOGLING SYMPTOMS!
This poor man, googling symptoms are the worst thing you can do when you have anxiety, makes everything 10x worse
I feel so sad for him when he cries I want to hug him
I’ve had this exact ocd , exactly this one . I’m proud of him❣️
You said „had” how did you get out of it?
I have OCD, but mine is compulsions, fear of germs and fear of harming myself or loved ones.
@@w0j-tech394 they probably still have OCD just have it treated so it’s not as bad.
But why is the mom yelling at him like it's his fault. No wonder he's so anxious
People with anxiety often mishear things which they then misinterpret as hallucinating...
I once thought I was schizo because I kept hearing a wooshing sound that resembled my name. Turns out I was so psyched out, even anticipating a hallucination, that my mind was changing the sound of cars driving by in the slush to resemble my name being whispered.
This is completely normal if you have anxiety, that’s all he experienced, lmao. He’ll be fine with some counselling.
Blake: how can anxiety and OCD be this debilitating?!
Anxiety and OCD: hold my beer
could be ptsd also. parent suddenly dieing unexpected can bring that on and he has alot of symptoms and signs of it
I have PTSD and generlized anxitey disorder and major deppressive disorder my doctor diganoised me two to three years ago and it's not fun because I thought the worst was flashbacks and feeling numb it's the feeling of being disconnected not just from family and friends and pets but from myself I'm in treatment and am doing much better
This exact thing happened to me! I have crippling anxiety and DPDR that have gotten better with medication and therapy, but a couple months ago before I was diagnosed I would have panic attacks everyday and think I was dying. I convinced myself I was going to have a seizure everyday and eventually it turned into fear of schizophrenia. I even convinced myself at the hair salon that I was hearing something and it freaked me out so bad I was trembling. I was just scaring myself which is a unfortunate symptom of anxiety. Over the course of the last couple months I feel like I’m almost back where I used to be but I totally sympathize with this guy. Therapy, medication, and family support was the best form of treatment for me, I hope everything gets better for you soon!
Please never Google any illness.
Because each illness has some symptoms that might sound like yours.
This poor guy ,I feel so bad for him. 😔
He is stressed out about being stressed out.
I hope they can help him. 💗⚘🕊
I don’t understand this
If he is absolutely certain that he has it, why did he say all my dreams will be shattered when I’m actually going to be diagnosed
I think he is seriously paranoid and has severe anxiety
I have the same fears but to a less extent. I think it has to do with the fear of loss of control and being alone
“How would anxiety or OCD be, like, this debilitating?” Pretty easily actually :/
She looks great for someone who is the mother of a 30yr old
I dealt with this exact stuff. It's definitely OCD and for me to get through I did exposure therapy as well as taking an SSRI. Never thought I'd feel normal again before that.
I have derealization and depersonalization. It’s very depressing and debilitating. Mixed with anxiety and OCD thoughts, it truly does feel like you’re dying. I feel terribly bad for him. I can relate. It’s oddly comforting to know that other people are going through this. But I wish no one had to feel this way.
I can relate, how are you now
As a person with generalized anxiety, yes it is that debilitating! Trust your Dr. it will be ok, trust the process.
Oh, this poor guy. I can tell he's having a really hard time because of all this, I hope he can get some help. This sounds like severe anxiety and OCD
I can relate to Blake. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, derealisation disorder and agoraphobia. Anxiety can be extremely crippling, I have lost my job because of it and it got so bad I became homebound. Know your symptoms are real but don't undermestimate the power of your mind. It can cause you to feel any sort of things. I hope he gets the help he needs!
I feel so bad for him. I've recently developed a lot of anxiety around my health, and I know how scary it can be. I do have an anxiety disorder and OCD, and I think that his original diagnosis with that is what he truly has. Anxiety and OCD have pretty much taken over my life, so yes, they CAN be that debilitating, my dude. Very much so. I hope he gets the help he needs. When my downstairs neighbor passed away suddenly at 22 last year, and my husband passed away in 2018, I developed this fear of death, and it has been really hard to shake it. Especially when I do actually have quite a few health issues that have actually been diagnosed. I really really feel for this guy
Poor guy “Anxiety and OCD can’t be this debilitating.” They really can. My best friend has both these disorders and often they can't leave their room
a) it's not a mental illness unless it causes significant impairment in daily life. that's literally the point.
b) every single mental illness has a list of symptoms and a minimum number required for diagnosis. "one or two" means you don't have it.
the whole point of a diagnosis is that you have to meet the criteria for the diagnosis in order to get the diagnosis.
That’s just like my brother! He’s convinced that he is schizophrenic, and went to see several psychiatrists to verify his self-proclaimed diagnosis, and was told several times that he is not schizophrenic! He was also told to stop self-diagnosing because it’s not helping his everyday life. It doesn’t help that he is also an addict, and claims to remain an addict to overcome ‘his schnitrzophreia’!
He could probably easily get his BA in psychology
I am diagnosed with OCD and his constant obsession and need for reassurance sounds a lot like what I go through. I really agree with his diagnosis of OCD. It really can be debilitating, it’s like mental torture
Part of the problem with self diagnosis is that you can placebo yourself into having symptoms. I think with such a "mild" sounding diagnosis of OCD, he subconsciously feels like it causes him so many issues that there needs to be a more intense mental disorder to justify his struggles.
At the age of 18 years old I was diagnosed OCD and cronic depression, then hospitalized for 6 months after a terrible suicidal attempt. Since then I just keep myself busy, stop whining and get a degree. Now I'm 43 years, I continue to keep myself busy with work and life because being in the darkness for too long can cause you to loose your only life.
His symptoms and these thoughts are mostly coming from the Depersonalization/derealization it really does that to you
He has OCD. OCD can be debilitating and convince you you have a disorder you don’t, I’m currently having this obsessions. The reassurance his mom is giving him isn’t helping, it actually further will make the ocd worse. He needs to go to ERP therapy, which will desensitize himself the fears and thoughts and will truly bring him clarity and allow him to be happy.
Her anxiety is rubbing off and amplifying his.
“You had a cough and though you had...”
Me: COVID-19 !!
I thought your comment was funny , and also a month later, I'm drunk af right now lol
I knew Dr. Google would be mentioned. XD
I have schizophrenia. I was diagnosed at 16 years old and have been in hospital since. Its not fun or cool, neither it means you're a bad person.
@MellowRainSN 23 They want to make sure I can live on my own. Take my medicine and not commit suicide.
@MellowRainSN 23 Not sure if I want to say it....Years 2010-2012 in a youth ward and in adult ward since then... that means 12th year coming, but I will most probably get out this year. I have NOT KILLED ANYONE! I was/am just sooooo sick.
Have a nice day.
He needs unconditional love & kindness to come through this. The mum is not helping.
he believe he had leukemia
Yep, realizing hypochondria... I had it for a while when I was young and everyone around me was different and I watched others going through health issues or mental disorders. Until I worked on my self image and health for years it didn't completely go away but also helped me to take preventative action on a couple health disorders that turned out to be real. I hope he gets help and feels better asap! It feels crazy studying schizophrenia and all the others, having at least what feels like a major symptom in all of them...
What he's experiencing is manic episodes from the stress and overwhelming feelings that ocd, anxiety, and depersonalization causes.
I have all 3 of those also and it causes me to hallucinate sometimes when it sends me on a spiral
This isnt a manic episode. Manic episodes are not even remotely similar to this. Mania makes someone spew out a firehose of words, switching from thought to thought, people who are manic can spend 50,000 in a night. He cant even leave the computer usually
@@johndawn4612 wtf are you talking about?? manic episodes are exactly like this 🙄
not everyone does the exact same thing during a manic ep.
i don't leave my computer or phone when im manic because I'm busy typing away or researching a million different things or working non stop on a project.
manic episodes also often cause me to be unable to leave my bed or do anything actually productive because i feel so overwhelmed by the speeding in my brain.
i feel like i can do anything but when there's a million things i want to do, where tf do i start
@@vidaliatheonionqueen well I also think its important to note that with mania the content may be different. Dr tracey marks did a video on it explaining that anxiety issues and mania are commonly misdiagnosed for each other. She explained that a truly manic person will have a firehose of words and generally all their energy during the episode comes out. And that she can generally tell who was misdiagnosed bipolar (happens ALL the time) because the anxious person suffers silently, with a zillion thoughts of worry in their head staying in and causing distress. So she said mania goes outwards, anxiety goes inward. And honestly in my experience, as someone with multiple relatives and friends with bipolar 1, this is def what ive personally seen.
@@johndawn4612 well tracey marks is wrong. not everyone's manic eps are the same especially if theyve been struggling for a long time and are self aware of their issues (even if they dont know what the cause is) and ESPECIALLY If they have other issues paired with it such as ocd.
im bipolar and my energy is often inward because i dont like to let it out because it causes trouble. so it causes severe anxiety. and this often leads me into a mixed state.
mix this with my ocd and it makes my anxiety explode.
and once again, not everyones manic ep is the same. that outward energy isnt always going to be clearly visible. sticking to the computer all the time, researching or typing or working on a project is outward energy
I thought she was gunna say corona virus instead of lung cancer for the cough 🤦🏻♀️
Hey man, that's OCD. I literally do everything this man does and I've been diagnosed with OCD.
This has the red flags of child abuse. Reassurance seeking from the person who was part of your anxiety. It is necessary for these people that you as the victim are destabilised so they dont have to confront what they are hiding. For his own health I hope that he is able to remove himself from the people who are perpetiating his illness and receives that the support he needs in his journey.
I have Schizophrenia... and I don’t think he has it
What is it like?
RachelMingle agreed.
Nour Nour it’s like having 50 people In a room talking all at once to u asking for ur advice an opinions
“How can OCD and Anxiety be so debilitating?”
Oh trust me bro, OCD and Anxiety are tough to live with and if not treated, they can get in the way of life.
as someone with GAD and DPDR it is SO common to believe you are going crazy and theres MORE going on that what meets the eye... i feel this dude so much and i am so glad that dpdr is shown on this episode because i have waited for the day that its been shown on such a broad audience ❤️ i thank you SO much dr phil, for accepting him on your show for helping him... its terrifying to go through
currently crying now... its truly sad to know people feel so deeply scared for their lives.. from a disorder that is cured by nothing but pure willpower.. its truly tiring
I know how he feels, I've experienced the pain of stepping on a lego.
I have schizo effective. I have been in hospitals for weeks on end. And then I would be discharged and not even a year later I would be in again. It's not fun having the relapses. Dr Phil is an amazing person!
this is the process he needs to take, getting close to the answer day by day by day. good luck on your journey
Back when my anxiety was out of control worrying about finances, I would also spend several hours (6-10 or a whole evening and night) researching how deep in I must have been and ways I can “help” myself. I can’t imagine he doesn’t have an anxiety disorder.
Those with schizophrenia do not ask themselves if they have Skitzophrenia. And seizures involving somatosensory are separate and district . Basically if you ask yourself if your psychotic your not . Those that are are not able to tell .
All of that googling and rejecting the diagnosis he doesn’t want to hear--those are classic symptoms of OCD
Wow, so much to learn. I thought I was sczophrenic, I thought I was going insane. When I finally reached out for help I was diagnosed with OCD, GAD, Medical Anxiety and Depression. Anxiety is disgustingly debilitating 😢
I see so much of myself in this guy.
I'm actually diagnosed with schizophrenia. It's very debilitating & I'm heavily medicated. I feel for this man. It does seem as though he has OCD. I've heard that OCD, when really bad, can cause this sort of thing. I hope he gets the help and support he needs, not just for himself, but for his mum as well. Any kind of mental illness can be awful. As for looking up symptoms online, I think it's best to limit the amount of time you spend doing that as it can be pretty daunting and scary to look up all these illnesses and can be detrimental to your health. Clearly all this has made him poorly. I hope he gets the help he needs
Dude
“You haven’t made enough to change”
Yeah, I’m sorry I can’t change my mental health on my own:/
I had the exact same experience. It’s mental torture. I have anxiety, and depersonalisation and thought I was developing psychosis/schizophrenia. I totally know what he means by the reassurance seeking. I feel horrible for him. I hope he finds mental peace soon.
I went through something exactly the same when I was like 10, bc the death of my grandpa traumatized me. I was like him but I "felt" that I would have a heart attack instead of mental illness...thankfully I got over it with facts, spirituality and just letting go of fear slowly, confronting your fears is the best desensitization
I have literally the same thing in every way but he needs to accept the feelings and get over it
"If you spend so much time with Dr. Google, if he's your best friend..."
**cracking in laughter**
-_-
Ocd can convince you of anything. Anything. Literally anything.
I didn’t realize just how debilitating anxiety is until this year actually. I hesitate to comment because I don’t have a diagnosis of a disorder and I know people get upset about that. but I’m pretty sure anxiety is what has caused a lot of my problems. so yeah I feel for him, I hope it gets better for him
All of these are systems of mental illness and worse he feels like nobody is listening to him how are other people going to tell him how he feels and what he is going through just because his mother doesn't want to accept that her son has real problems doesn't mean that he doesn't have problems his doctor should start with a making him feel like he is being heard and go from there
I have ocd and I also used to have a huge fear of schizophrenia! Because my uncle had schizophrenia and committed sucide and I had psychotic depression for a month and extreme anxiety this made me def afraid that I would start hearing voices
I was also scared that I was gonna suffer psychotic and diabetic
Anxiety and BPD (borderline personality disorder) very much can feel like schizophrenia sometimes.
Honey, he's a hypochondriac. period.
This has made me so upset for so long. I have OCD as well and this is EXACTLY what me and my family looked like… wanna know why??? Probably because he saw the Psych2Go video on schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia videos and realized that THAT IS how he was feeling… because no one seems to notice that Religious/Scrupulosity OCD when put side by side with everything, IS everything. Then it makes you FEEL bipolar and drives you crazy… I hope he’s found the paths to a spiritual awakening because that’s the only way to make this stop. Like it did for me.
DSM-5 got way too big, right on time. These people are trapped and getting screwed by evil forces mentally and can NOT escape until they stop falling down rabbit holes, and explore the RIGHT medicine… SPIRITUALITY. This is why the world is going crazy and why mental health professionals are bombed, and don’t know what to do. STOP with the mental racket… the root cause of anxiety and depression IS OCD and depending on how long you go without spirituality/ depending on the doctor you see, is how bad it snowballs.
Look at what idiots Dr. Hughes and Dr. Speigel made of themselves at the Amber Heard trial…. THAT, is exactly what it’s like seeing any doctor. 100 can look at the same person and come up with different answers because they don’t incorporate spirituality or GOD in their textbooks and this is sickening, still. Or because they are gender biased/getting paid WAYYYY too much for their “expert opinions” like that unprofessional bird, Dr. Speigel.
Sounds more like he has Health Anxiety.
Omg this is me. I have an addiction to having people reassure me I’m not sick :(
Dude go to med school !!!! That's so much time spent researching and studying. If he could get his anxiety and paranoia under control he could turn this negative energy into positive outcomes.
He’s so handsome! I hope he can get well and live his best life
It's not often I can't resonate with guests on the show but I resonate with this guy and I resonate on the deepest level because is suffering a very real problem, severe anxiety, which I did and still do suffer from, and anyone who has suffered from severe anxiety whether in the past or present knows the nightmare it can be, it'll ruin your life if it's left unchecked.
Sounds like he identifies with his "illnesses." If he didn't depend on other people's sympathy, he would be forced to be accountable.
LAughing at everyone who still truly believes Dr. Phil “helps” when he only exploits.
Wow this video gives me so much relief that i am not alone
OCD seriously can make people believe they have schizophrenia. intrusive thoughts can be very bad and OCD itself won't help.
I actually had this type of ocd. I had a cousin who was schizophrenic. He went manic on me as a child and I would spend hours looking up mental illnesses to the point I had to sleep on the floor and wouldn’t leave the house
this is why self diognoised is absolutely horrible. obviously if you genuinly have syptoms, firguing out what it might be is fine, but you need to then go get diognoised and get help. if you are obsesed with research and keep self diosnoising you will get stuck in a horrible phase.
Sir know one who is experiencing psychosis or delusional is self aware and realizing that they’re being delusional until it passes, even then not always.
For someone who researches all day, he sure knows nothing about OCD, anxiety, and depersonalization.
It’s also the doctors there are some that will put ideas in your head and make you believe it and put you on fifteen different meds I can’t count how many misdiagnoses I have had or meds I’ve been on
This guy is full of anxiety but it is based in his total insecurity and obsession with himself. He literally doesn’t have any interest in ANYONE but himself. Narcissism is a real sick disorder.
OMG he has what I have. I have been there. I am still going through it, have hope friend.
I have the same type of OCD but what really sparked it was drug use like weed and lsd so if any kids who have a history of anxiety or any mentall illness be careful and it has forced me to stay in from school o recently quit my job because i was having trouble sleeping it is a nightmare that sometimes you cant escape but trust it gets better it always does.
its hard for me to watch this. I have dealt with the same thing. i have ocd, anxiety and have literally thought i was becoming schizophrenic. dying of lymphoma, heart problems and so on. not easy.
