    I have OCD too since I was a kid. Today I stopped my antidepressant because it make me forgetting a lot. Today I forgot it's Monday I almost didn't take my daughter to school . I'm so lonely today 😞. OCD, depression, illness, anxiety. Being so far from family. No friends. I'm lost. Pray for me things will get better soon.

      🙏🙏🙏 Sending you Prayers & healing thoughts… Please watch the depression & make sure you talk to someone & hopefully tell someone or your doc. that you stopped your medication, I am on meds. & still feel depressed; as I have had a cancer diagnosis & don’t sleep the best. This time of year leading up to Xmas is terrible for depression / anxiety…. Really wishing the best for you..💯

    Ik this video is a year old and the creator might not see it but idc if they do or not I just have to show my appreciation for how much this helped me. I suffer with ocd and constantly just thought i was very bored i just did things out of boredom but what you said in this vid and what ppl have told me really brings things together and show that i have ocd now I was never diagnosed but with how things are I think i do have it. This vid helped me realize I'm not alone and I'm not crazy lol. It hit so hard I was sort of stopping myself from crying due to how much relief I felt from seeing how another person suffers with this as well and I'm not alone. Thank you so much for this vid it really helped me with what I'm going though and gob bless you and everyone here who also suffers with ocd I hope you all have a good day :).

    Thank you for sharing your story…as an OCD sufferer for 10+ years at 26 year old, I know how lonely it can feel. Medication I think can really help make things a little easier and that certainly is nothing to be scoffed at!

    Thank you for sharing again something so personal. It has given me more of an understanding of the different ways OCD can manifest itself. I know of someone who doesn’t have the typical symptoms but your video has opened my eyes to the possibility of OCD with other symptoms. Thank you as I now can have more of an understanding of what they may be dealing with.

    Another great video, Becca. I've always been a bit different to my peers and never considered I might be neurodivergent until well into adulthood. Thanks so much for broaching OCD as a topic; understanding of common behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders is massively lacking and it's awesome that you're encouraging discussion and acceptance. I appreciated your recent videos on self-esteem and grief, too - they felt very raw, honest, and familiar to my own experiences 🧡

    Hope you are feeling all better from feeling under the weather 🤗🤗💗Not that you need an excuse to take a break! Sent you a message about your lovely art-piece I received. omg SO wonderful. (guys, support her art) Love this video. I relate with so much of this even though I never had a formal diagnosis. For example when I was a little child I would have to say this long winded good-night to my mother listing all the ways she was to stay safe (don't fall down the stairs, etc.) and she thought it was funny and cute but really it was something I felt that if I didn't say... something bad would happen! As a adult, I notice it more as, "I know I just checked that thing.. but feel like I should re-check.." Your self-care tips are wonderful.

    Hey, thank you so much for this. Been suffering with OCD for roughly over a year at this point after realising a traumatic thing happened to me and I’ve only just recently started to… resist my compulsions? Like. Now when they come into my head I’m just like “oh, cool” and can manage to just move on with my day. Obviously this isn’t everyday; some days are better than others and there’s days where I just give in and have to do them. It feels nice to know I’m not alone.
    Also I have the same thing when it comes to the whole “touch wood” thing! That’s the only compulsion I haven’t really been able to overcome as of yet. But instead of a bracelet I carry around half of a wooden peg.
    Just. Thanks for this, it’s nice to know that I’m not alone really. Have a great day! Oh, subbed also! Your content seems great.

    • @IamBecca

I actually understand touching wood- for me it’s not the saying but a grounding thing. Anyway THANK YOU.

    My sweet Becca, it's great seeing you in this new video again ❤️ The best way to treat OCD is to work closely with a mental health professional who can help you identify and overcome the underlying causes of your disorder. Treatment typically includes medication and/or therapy.Some people find that medication is the best solution for them, while others find that therapy is more effective. There are a variety of different types of medication that can be used to treat OCD, and each person will react differently to different medications. Some people find that medication is only part of the solution, while others find that it is the only solution. There are also a variety of different types of therapy that can be used to treat OCD. Some people find that therapy is only part of the solution, while others find that it is the only solution. The best way to find out if OCD is the right treatment for you is to talk to your doctor.
    Tips on how to treat OCD may include:
    - Taking medication to control the symptoms: OCD can be severely debilitating, and medication can help to control the symptoms.
    - Participating in therapy/counseling: Therapy/counseling can help to address the underlying causes of OCD, and can provide relief from the symptoms.
    - Practicing mindfulness: mindfulness can help to focus attention on the present, which can help to reduce the intensity of OCD thoughts.
    - Engaging in activities that are enjoyable: OCD can be severely restricting, and engaging in activities that are enjoyable can help to reduce the intensity of OCD symptoms.
    Hugs and kisses my friend 🙂💋
