ABOUT MADE OF MILLIONS
The Made of Millions foundation is a global advocacy nonprofit on a mission to change how the world perceives mental health.
Each year, millions of people around the world are diagnosed with a mental health condition. People of every age, country, gender and ethnicity. Millions more go undiagnosed, and are forced to battle their symptoms without the care and support they deserve.
As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.
Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

“You are lazy and aren’t working hard enough”
Actually I’m fighting a massive battle in my head and working at the same time.
this was funny but for the fact that it's actually true 🤦♂️😅
Not only does OCD affect people's ability to work. The loss of self esteem, guilt, etc that accompanies OCD makes it even more difficult. The side effects of many medications indicated for OCD can also negatively affect on a person with OCD to be able to cope with their job.
I can relate. I always have errors at work because I always daydreaming my sad stories.
I felt that I cannot do anything good or achieve something even I try. I always make people laugh and happy but they don’t know that I am sad. As long as I can see others happy, I am already contented. Even if I can’t give the happiness to myself, atleast I can give the happiness to others. For all OCD like me, Do not lose hope.
Our minds might limit our compentecies but our hearts make us stronger.
You will be happy if you choose to be happy.
Pray and look on the bright side of everything.
Thank you.
God bless you All.

This lady speaks as if she somehow actually knows exactly what my OCD is like. My OCD makes me think over so many things, it mostly only makes me pause to think... thats usually the only visual abnormality noticable to others!
I started my job at Amazon and honestly it was so hard to feel okay mentally sometimes. I've had issues with job performance and have noticed my OCD is really taking its toll on me. I don't know how to cope or what to do to overcome this..
I'm basically in the same position. But I've been giving myself the time that I need, so that I can take things easy. Take things easy, and one step at a time, and things will get easier. I've been doing this, and I've noticed I've been feeling better, with TIME. Let's just take it easy. Hope you're feeling better now.
very useful series , thank you DR Weiner
Yes some information is true that some ocd is highly intlegent and have professional jobs but you can not imagine how much suffering of ocd in workplace when you have one of the worest ocd thoughts that you suffer in dealing with both colleagues and clients and try to avoid them to notice you some times I want disappear from the life itself from my shame of myself it is terrible illness and when I use ssri for time the side effects was the dibeates and many other only I wait mercy from the god.
I feel your pain. I struggle with severe OCD at work. Have you seen James Callner videos?
This is so helpful
every day i feel so dumb and i have to force myself to think and its super frustrating.
U aren’t dumv
The workplace is my only real fear...so hard. Anxiety and over analyzing so debilitating.
I quit multiple jobs because of ocd and anxiety
I am a sculptor and ocd is affecting my work. I am having trouble with deadlines which causes me more anxiety which obviously makes my ocd worse. I am worried of losing my job. I was already laid off from one and i think this may have been the cause.. I have tried Prozac which affected me positively but make my quality of work sloppy.. I have to pick and choose here...
The Prozac made my anxiety worse and set me into an OCD episode
I lost my job because of my mental health. So now I refuse to ever work again. If you can't handle my OCD you don't deserve access to my talent either
Did you manage to get some sort of income support?
@@Rotatez initially no. Because my employer never paid into EI therefore I was screwed. But I'm on the CERB payment now because of COVID
SSRI’s give me intense side effects, but eventually help
my ocd tells me i cant do my job, how do i manage this?
I had couple of OCD themes did all the steps recovered now OCD is on my work now. I see compulsions, i see avoidance and i feel uneasy. Is that OCD?
Likely. Try doing the steps for your work environment.
She went demon real fast after that part
I don't think I properly understand what she means when she speaks of turning up the volume of the thought; especially if it's a perverse thought, that is just horrible!
mayboy128 I’m having a perverse thought at work right now... and I’m losing my mind. I struggle with sexual ocd. Ugh. This is hard.
It's because trying to avoid it or engaging in compulsions in response to the intrusive thoughts encourages the thought patterns that make you have intrusive thoughts. Apparently, practicing having the thoughts on purpose (instead of letting yourself do compulsive behaviours) helps you to stop the cycle that keeps you having intrusive thoughts in the first place.
