@@KatwarfieldI am from India too, for me medications and therapy really helped, but also there needs an effort from you as well, we need to fight ourselves, OCD is a monster-the more we feed it, the more it will grow, because of medications I was able to make my mind upto a stage, where procrastinating those compulsions was getting easier.❤️❤️🙏
My OCD is so related to control. It got so much worse after the pandemic. I wasn't even a crazy germophobe or anything before the pandemic either. My OCD just shifted more toward thinking everything was contaminated with germs. I, to this day, haven't touched a toilet seat with my bare hands for literally 15 years. So yeah... my "germophobia" back then was tame compared to now. It's even worse than that lol. I know what you mean when you're saying "it's in your brain." For me personally, my OCD is equally a physical disorder as it is a THINKING disorder if that makes sense. My thinking is always nonstop. If I touch this, I'm gonna transfer germs so I have to wear a glove, but if I wear the glove I have to take off the glove before touching something else or it defeats the purpose- can't do this, can't do that- it's NONSTOP and very exhausting.
Oh dear, I do the same thing about surfaces and gloves... Sometimes I simply forget due to distress what I was saying or doing on the moment but I ALWAYS Remember what I was in contact with 3 days ago, what "unclean" surfaces etc... I always think "That's crazy" but I NEED to do such stuff either way. If I don't I wouldn't be able to focus even a little bit for the rest of the day or even a week. People don't realize how much exhaustion and distress OCD around germs causes, I wish I could "just not think about this" like so mamy people "adviced" me... I just wish for all of US, people with OCD just those Simple moments of rest. When I'm in flare up (like I find myself now) I just dream of hour or two of calm in my mind. I had big hopes for my new meds to help me, but I do not think they work for me... I don't feel any different. Anyways I Hope you're doing really well right now, greetings from Poland!
Holy crap! I think the same way! It's so exhausting. My family often dismiss it as an "irrational fear" and I need to "get over it." You've made me feel so seen. I'm doing research on OCD, and I'm so glad I came across you comment.
I had it exactly the same as this lady, couldn’t wear clothes because they were “contaminated” and couldn’t eat or drink. Eventually ended up hospitalised with malnutrition and 90lbs too. Had therapy and sorted it out to a point but I’m still massively debilitated by ocd. It’s a horrific illness that causes endless suffering.
Its all in your head, its a thought, its not real. Its mind boggling how people give attention to their brain slowly taking their life away and their families are suffering watching all this nonsense. Its crazy gone wild. Why not tell your brain to shut up and do just the opposite, tell it nothing is happening.
@@Tanigami777There is no spiritual aspect to OCD. It's a neurological thing. Especially when religious OCD exists where people pray excessively as a compulsion.
I went a few days without my meds (forgot to refill) once and only noticed when I got nauseous when eating my favorite food (buffalo nuggets) and couldn’t stop thinking abt the texture bc what if it had something bad in it.
I had something similar to this. When I was young, I had these urges (obsessions) to do horrible things to myself and other people. They were like slave masters demanding my obedience at the cost of my family relationships and safety of others to the point where I was horrified that it was happening and was afraid I would actually hurt them. It got so bad I acted on some of the demands on myself just to get relief and avoided my family members out of fear I would hurt them. At some point I asked God for help and slowly He helped me learn how to resist those wretched attacks. Whenever I got attacked I would remember that even if I couldn’t control myself, God could and wouldn’t let me hurt my loved ones. I eventually overcame it (thank Jesus) though due to other factors I get it from time to time over different areas. OCD is nothing to sneeze at and is very frightening for most sufferers. But praise God there are ways to overcome it and therapies/treatments that help.
Yes, God made it a little lighter for me as well. I hope he will continue fighting it for me cause it made me so tired and desperate. Fighting it on your own sucks so much, many friends and loved ones don't understand it yet and I don't blame them.
Yes it must be sooo debilitating and exhausting for you. But can i say, i tried to understand my adult daughter's ocd, it was very bizarre and puzzling to me so i wanted to try to understand.

The clothes thing is so annoying I have that and I’m constantly rewashing clothes and doing multiple loads a week cause they are “contaminated” it’s exhausting
I hate having OCD - have been relatively stable for a few years but currently going through a rough patch- symptoms are constant. There is no peace. I’m thinking of everything all at the same time. Past, present and future if that makes sense. I have developed some bad coping habits
you don't need to explain, but could you explain what type of habits you're going through. P.S: i might be able to help you with possible solutions as i've gone through a pretty rough patch too

Be kind to ur ocd. It just a small part of us. Don’t try to get rid of the imperfection in our brain. Make peace & be kind to them and over time it will hv less and less power over us❤
Im almost positive that I have OCD, but I'm too scared to ask ny mom for help... I'm scared that she will judge me, I'm scared the rest of my family will judge me, or think differently of me.. think I'm less capable.... I show myself many signs of it, I'm constantly checking on my chickens because I'm scared to leave them out because maybe a hawk will swoop one or more up! Or that I have really bad overthinking to the point where I even believe my thoughts and can't tell the difference between reality and my thoughts. My thoughts cause anxiety attacks and headaches, so painful un the abdomen. I am always cleaning because I for some reason really want the house to be clean so that nothing bad happens, or my dad doesn't come home from work to a kind of messy house. When I'm doing something like art, I have to have things in order or I freak out or get mad and start overthinking again. I'm not sure in Jealousy is apart of it, but I get mad/sad when people I care about don't hang out with me, I get sad about other people's happiness when I am having a very unsuccessful day... I also have to eat my food in order, like if we are having steak, I HAVE to eat the broccoli first, then the pasta, then the baked potato, then the steak. I get mad at people when they make repeating noises like tapping, or clicking a pen, or whistling/singing the same song over and over... I don't know whats wrong with me... it hurts me and my everyday life. I feel lonely and lost. It felt good to write all of this out. Thanks for reading my problems!
Hi! I'm not sure how old are you or what's your situation but if you don't feel comfortable with talking to your parents you could try with your School if you attend one right now? Or if you don't I thing there are lots of helpful resources online. IT is cery important to het profesional help really! Here for you! I also understand what you go through
You probably do have OCD. Are your parents older or from, say, Asia, where mental illness still has a lot more stigma than in the west? I got OCD at 7 but my mom didn't want to believe there could be something wrong with HER kid, so she didn't tell my pediatrician about it till I was 13 and could barely get to school anymore because of all the time spent on rituals. You need to get ERP ASAP before the ideas become really entrenched. I don't know if anyone still tries "talk" therapy for OCD, but if it's offered, don't take it! It just solidifies the OCD thought process, as they discovered after I'd spent 14 years trying to understand the reason for my OCD fears. There is no reason, but the Freudian stuff really made my OCD worse.
Hey, i just realized I have OCD. And it makes me feel so bad, I’m not talking about double checking in the house or being obsessed with cleaning. I usually say to my self if you don’t do that your mom will die or your dog will die if you don’t get up. And it makes me cry. And I usually run up to my mom and cry to her. And whenever she goes out I overthink it by saying “I hope her car wouldn’t crash”or when she goes to the hair salon “I hope there won’t be an shooter there.” 😔 I seriously think this will keep on going every time, until I die. I don’t know if this is OCD but whenever I hear like an sad music it gives me weird vibe/feeling. And I think/dream about my family members and dog dying. 😔🙁 I hope god changes my mind. I wish that every sad things in the world would disappear and i would never have to worry about it ;)
It definitely sounds like OCD - a lot like mine was when I was young. I still have that sad song issue - certain songs, for whatever reason, either give me a really eerie/disturbed feeling or else the sadness of the song makes me feel super guilty and remember everything I ever did to upset my family members. It feels like I'm watching a sad movie in which my family members' lives were pathetic and ruined because of me, and the song is the soundtrack. That or the song = death.
I might have OCD, and I feel like I cause my own obsessions, and then I do something to make myself feel better. For example, I will have a random thought about something that’s making me anxious, let’s say chemicals from cleaning and the thought that they are still in me and if I don’t wash my hands again I’ll ingest or breath it in and get sick. The thought will come and go very quickly, but as soon as it came, I think about it over and over again. While doing mental compulsions telling myself I already washed my hands 3 times. I will tap my foot or shake my leg and when I stop I feel icky but I feel guilty that I keep doing it, like that as soon as I heard I could have OCD I started forcing myself to do these things, but I really try not to. But when I try not to, I feel more anxious.
As a person with OCD, one of my ‘symptoms’ I see especially around the new year is for me to not act on any of my goals until the 1st. I completely stop caring for myself because it may be ‘bad luck.’
you have to cut a little bit of yourself off if you have ocd like this, you just have to (its not JUST its hard) but you gotta just accept you gonna die you gonna get cancer do whatever you want, live each day moment as if its your last
Yes. It can get really dangerous at a certain point. Especially when you think your water source is contaminated. I go through this at the moment and it scares me. And yes, I know I need therapy. But from my experience, not every therapist/psychiatrist is actually trustworthy. I met one a few years ago and there were a few "gray area" things she said but that wasn't even the worst. She said one particular thing that was so evil that I've lost trust that a license is a guarantee that they know what they're doing or even have basic human decency. If someone told me this person comes straight from hell I would believe it. Before I met her, I NEVER would have thought that it can be that bad.
I think I have OCD 😢 and this lady is saying things that I feel is true about me...but my situation is different than hers. I need to stop! Any suggestions folks?
Ocd really goes away only that day when you have no attachments left, you don't care about anything. If I could know that the only thing I had was the present moment I would do everything to make it as pleasurable as I could.
How are you addressing your OCD? Meds? Therapy? I wish there was an OCD group here in Dubuque, Iowa. I tried hypnosis once many years ago in Chicago. It did help! Here in Iowa, hypnotists charge HUGE fees and insurance doesn't cover it. Plus, thete are no guarantees....
My ocd is the same it doesn't allow me to wear the clothes that I wore on a day in which something bad happened even if they were new and expensive I always end up throwing them away even if I wore them only once it's fr so frustrating I hate ocd so much
I get what you mean I'm the same everything is a danger to me clothes food medications and lost more every day I cry and pray to God to help me and heal me back to full health and happiness ❤ sinead
It feeds on fear so stop being afraid and just do whatever you are afraid of. Good you made the first step in reading these comments when the voice told you no. You didn’t die and you won’t. Lol
My ocs is similar to her i think my clothes, door books etc like every single thing around me is contaminated, i cant evn pray bcz of these thoughts i feel like im always dirty and my clothes too, i waste a lot of water and spend hours in the washroom, its driving me crazy
OCD was like hell My mom was on a trip and i was in my room scratching my pellet gun and everytime i scrathched it it was like don't do that!! Its causing your mom pain.
Once I watched a documentary on a guy killing his family’s father that..OCD struck I got thoughts about killing my own family.which F4 me up I suffered a lot in 2018 my suffering came back in 2022 till now ima getting thoight about HOCD just trying to accept the thoights
Okay so how did you get out of it??? I'm stuck in a loop like that have been for a year now and I can't eat or sleep or choose the clothes I need to wear or anything!!!
Could maybe have a uniform to help the indecisiveness part of OCD. What I do is have home clothes (which I wash regularly) and outside clothes which I was a lot less often. This way the negative energy and dirt if the disgusting outside world can stay there. Like how u take your shoes of from outside.
Call on the name of Jesus. He is a Healer. He can heal ALL things. You just have to tag Him in almost like tag team wrestling. He's going to put satan in a choke hold, if you let Him. Jesus, is His name. Delivering you from every yoke of bondage and loving you to health is His game.
People joke about being so OCD and neat, it's nothing like that. OCD is the most debilitating illness not a joke. Only those who experience it know how painful it is.
Mines couting things over and ova , closing the curtain 37 times or else im gonna lose my girlfriend. Changing the radio or joe.rogans podcast bc i cant chose an episode bc bad stuff will go down. Also i cant throw things away so.i throw stuff above my cabinets and have to take close my car door 4 times
This is me. Everything is done in 4’s. I’m constantly counting things. I used to struggle with throwing things away. I’ve gotten past that aspect of it, but the counting has never gone away
Am I the only one who gets all ocd when it comes to the like button. I cannot like any video that revolvs around tragedy, or I feel i would curse my fam with a similar event. I cannot like any videos or comments if the skull emoji is used in it. Because I feel like im inviting death. I also like certain comments (even if I hate what the person said) just to change the number of the comment, because I don't like the number. I don't like the numbers 3,6,9,11, and sometimes 7. Because 3 sixes is the beast number so I hate 3 and 6. I hate the numbers 9/11 for obvious reasons. And I sometimes don't like 7, because it sounds like heaven which can sometimes remind me of death and loss. But other times, since it reminds me of heaven, the number 7 makes me feel protected. It all depends on which fear im experiencing that day. Does anyone else relate to this?
can someone tell me if i have OCD or if it is just some or the same thoughts. so basically a couple years ago i started making new accounts because i had this feeling but it helped for a bit but then came back. then it got really bad, thankfully is better now, but i would say when i walk through this door frame, my life is perfect but it never lasted long before the feeling came again
Oh ypu thought OCD was all about being a dictionary which has absolutely no mistakes? Well, you've been misinformed. We aren't those perfectionist psychopaths as how they portray. Edit: I am sorry I don't know what I said but I didn't mean those who were having the symptoms but those who think that OCD means just traits of irritable emotions when things are not "perfect"

Be kind to ur ocd. It just a small part of us. Don’t try to get rid of the imperfection in our brain. Make peace & be kind to them and over time it will hv less and less power over us❤
Im almost positive that I have OCD, but I'm too scared to ask ny mom for help... I'm scared that she will judge me, I'm scared the rest of my family will judge me, or think differently of me.. think I'm less capable.... I show myself many signs of it, I'm constantly checking on my chickens because I'm scared to leave them out because maybe a hawk will swoop one or more up! Or that I have really bad overthinking to the point where I even believe my thoughts and can't tell the difference between reality and my thoughts. My thoughts cause anxiety attacks and headaches, so painful un the abdomen. I am always cleaning because I for some reason really want the house to be clean so that nothing bad happens, or my dad doesn't come home from work to a kind of messy house. When I'm doing something like art, I have to have things in order or I freak out or get mad and start overthinking again. I'm not sure in Jealousy is apart of it, but I get mad/sad when people I care about don't hang out with me, I get sad about other people's happiness when I am having a very unsuccessful day... I also have to eat my food in order, like if we are having steak, I HAVE to eat the broccoli first, then the pasta, then the baked potato, then the steak. I get mad at people when they make repeating noises like tapping, or clicking a pen, or whistling/singing the same song over and over... I don't know whats wrong with me... it hurts me and my everyday life. I feel lonely and lost. It felt good to write all of this out. Thanks for reading my problems!
Damn , it is hard but we are all here, message if you want to talk. and these videos help. Exposure therapy is helping me alot to
Hi! I'm not sure how old are you or what's your situation but if you don't feel comfortable with talking to your parents you could try with your School if you attend one right now? Or if you don't I thing there are lots of helpful resources online. IT is cery important to het profesional help really!
Here for you! I also understand what you go through
You probably do have OCD. Are your parents older or from, say, Asia, where mental illness still has a lot more stigma than in the west? I got OCD at 7 but my mom didn't want to believe there could be something wrong with HER kid, so she didn't tell my pediatrician about it till I was 13 and could barely get to school anymore because of all the time spent on rituals. You need to get ERP ASAP before the ideas become really entrenched. I don't know if anyone still tries "talk" therapy for OCD, but if it's offered, don't take it! It just solidifies the OCD thought process, as they discovered after I'd spent 14 years trying to understand the reason for my OCD fears. There is no reason, but the Freudian stuff really made my OCD worse.
@@SchlichteToven My parents are older and super traditional, still to scared to tell them
Hey, i just realized I have OCD. And it makes me feel so bad, I’m not talking about double checking in the house or being obsessed with cleaning. I usually say to my self if you don’t do that your mom will die or your dog will die if you don’t get up. And it makes me cry. And I usually run up to my mom and cry to her. And whenever she goes out I overthink it by saying “I hope her car wouldn’t crash”or when she goes to the hair salon “I hope there won’t be an shooter there.” 😔 I seriously think this will keep on going every time, until I die. I don’t know if this is OCD but whenever I hear like an sad music it gives me weird vibe/feeling. And I think/dream about my family members and dog dying. 😔🙁 I hope god changes my mind. I wish that every sad things in the world would disappear and i would never have to worry about it ;)
I pray the same thing! I wish I could just wake up in the morning and be normal again. Sending love ❤
It definitely sounds like OCD - a lot like mine was when I was young. I still have that sad song issue - certain songs, for whatever reason, either give me a really eerie/disturbed feeling or else the sadness of the song makes me feel super guilty and remember everything I ever did to upset my family members. It feels like I'm watching a sad movie in which my family members' lives were pathetic and ruined because of me, and the song is the soundtrack. That or the song = death.
Great explanation! I have OCD too.
My ocd is different but there are different types of ocd and my type of ocd is everything has to be perfect
I really need more healing from ocd.
I'm so sorry you went through this 💔 I also have OCD and its the absolute worst 😢
OCD and ANXIETY IS SO DEBILITATING... CLEAN EATING NO Caffeine OR SMALL AMT AND GOING FOR WALKS HAVE HELPED ME
I need to talk to someone and don't trust my doctor. I keep locking my door and checking it and other doors.
I might have OCD, and I feel like I cause my own obsessions, and then I do something to make myself feel better. For example, I will have a random thought about something that’s making me anxious, let’s say chemicals from cleaning and the thought that they are still in me and if I don’t wash my hands again I’ll ingest or breath it in and get sick. The thought will come and go very quickly, but as soon as it came, I think about it over and over again. While doing mental compulsions telling myself I already washed my hands 3 times. I will tap my foot or shake my leg and when I stop I feel icky but I feel guilty that I keep doing it, like that as soon as I heard I could have OCD I started forcing myself to do these things, but I really try not to. But when I try not to, I feel more anxious.
Ocd is pure torture 24/7
😩I feel like shit atm
@@scutodragon same 😒 sorry 😭
As a person with OCD, one of my ‘symptoms’ I see especially around the new year is for me to not act on any of my goals until the 1st. I completely stop caring for myself because it may be ‘bad luck.’
I’m so sorry. I relate to this, and you inspire me to try and fight this. ❤
She said it! Clothes, clothes! I’m not crazy after all. OCD is no joke. Stay strong ❤
you have to cut a little bit of yourself off if you have ocd like this, you just have to (its not JUST its hard) but you gotta just accept you gonna die you gonna get cancer do whatever you want, live each day moment as if its your last
And see that it DOESN'T HAPPEN, Great Advice!
Yes. It can get really dangerous at a certain point. Especially when you think your water source is contaminated. I go through this at the moment and it scares me. And yes, I know I need therapy. But from my experience, not every therapist/psychiatrist is actually trustworthy. I met one a few years ago and there were a few "gray area" things she said but that wasn't even the worst. She said one particular thing that was so evil that I've lost trust that a license is a guarantee that they know what they're doing or even have basic human decency. If someone told me this person comes straight from hell I would believe it. Before I met her, I NEVER would have thought that it can be that bad.
I think I have OCD 😢 and this lady is saying things that I feel is true about me...but my situation is different than hers. I need to stop! Any suggestions folks?
i've seen videos about certain medication potentionally being harmfull.
people don't seem to be sure.
but GIRLLL, medication SAVED ME !!!
Which medicines?
Same problem I thought I have anxiety but I'm not this is OCD thanks God for bringing here ❤
ohh yes absolutely, my brain has always done that.
VERY SEVERELY.
Ocd really goes away only that day when you have no attachments left, you don't care about anything. If I could know that the only thing I had was the present moment I would do everything to make it as pleasurable as I could.
How are you addressing your OCD? Meds? Therapy? I wish there was an OCD group here in Dubuque, Iowa.
I tried hypnosis once many years ago in Chicago. It did help!
Here in Iowa, hypnotists charge HUGE fees and insurance doesn't cover it. Plus, thete are no guarantees....
It feels like a steel wall is blocking me from doing normal things
I wish I didn't have a controlling brain....
Life would have been a lot different and beautiful 💔
My ocd is the same it doesn't allow me to wear the clothes that I wore on a day in which something bad happened even if they were new and expensive I always end up throwing them away even if I wore them only once it's fr so frustrating I hate ocd so much
I can't watch this . In case it gives me ideas 😢
Ikr it can be triggering.
ECT can help ease symptoms of OCD.
I usually think things i don't like to think about it
This so real to me
This reminds me of this book called obsessed
I get what you mean I'm the same everything is a danger to me clothes food medications and lost more every day I cry and pray to God to help me and heal me back to full health and happiness ❤ sinead
It feeds on fear so stop being afraid and just do whatever you are afraid of. Good you made the first step in reading these comments when the voice told you no. You didn’t die and you won’t. Lol
My ocs is similar to her i think my clothes, door books etc like every single thing around me is contaminated, i cant evn pray bcz of these thoughts i feel like im always dirty and my clothes too, i waste a lot of water and spend hours in the washroom, its driving me crazy
Yes exactly but with me with drinking water i have to take 4 drinks of it
4 is my OCD number. Everything has to be in 4’s. Constantly counting too 🤦♀️
@@mistyallison4334 same
I didn’t want to wear a sweater that I had worn in the mental hospital because it had “negative energy”
OCD was like hell
My mom was on a trip and i was in my room scratching my pellet gun and everytime i scrathched it it was like don't do that!! Its causing your mom pain.
Thats Sick. 😢 How to cure this???
Once I watched a documentary on a guy killing his family’s father that..OCD struck I got thoughts about killing my own family.which F4 me up I suffered a lot in 2018 my suffering came back in 2022 till now ima getting thoight about HOCD just trying to accept the thoights
By HOCD , are you referring to hoarding OCD?
@@ASMR-XI-ZUI homosexual ocd
Okay so how did you get out of it??? I'm stuck in a loop like that have been for a year now and I can't eat or sleep or choose the clothes I need to wear or anything!!!
I think you can receive medical treatment to help ease some of the compulsions
Could maybe have a uniform to help the indecisiveness part of OCD. What I do is have home clothes (which I wash regularly) and outside clothes which I was a lot less often. This way the negative energy and dirt if the disgusting outside world can stay there. Like how u take your shoes of from outside.
Poor thing😢❤
Call on the name of Jesus. He is a Healer. He can heal ALL things. You just have to tag Him in almost like tag team wrestling. He's going to put satan in a choke hold, if you let Him.
Jesus, is His name.
Delivering you from every yoke of bondage and loving you to health is His game.
Theyr is a Suport group called ota
Over thinkers anonymous
Saves my life
People joke about being so OCD and neat, it's nothing like that. OCD is the most debilitating illness not a joke. Only those who experience it know how painful it is.
U can also get a hoarding side of OCD which is like an uncontaminated untidy mess to others.
I’m a young teenager and I am like this… I tried to tell my mom but she won’t take me to see anyone. What do I do?
Try looking up some ocd frequency on TH-cam.
Try talking to a school counsellor about it. S/he might be able to call your mom in and explain to her that you need to see a doctor.
Ive eaten four times in the last four days. I didn't eat for one of those days. I just... I just want to eat.
Mines couting things over and ova , closing the curtain 37 times or else im gonna lose my girlfriend. Changing the radio or joe.rogans podcast bc i cant chose an episode bc bad stuff will go down. Also i cant throw things away so.i throw stuff above my cabinets and have to take close my car door 4 times
Omg same here I struggle to throw things away causing hoarding
This is me. Everything is done in 4’s. I’m constantly counting things. I used to struggle with throwing things away. I’ve gotten past that aspect of it, but the counting has never gone away
Its a trauma response...😓🙏
Huh? No it isn't.
@@SchlichteTovenit can be. Trauma related OCD is a very real thing. That’s not to say all OCD is trauma related.
Am I the only one who gets all ocd when it comes to the like button. I cannot like any video that revolvs around tragedy, or I feel i would curse my fam with a similar event. I cannot like any videos or comments if the skull emoji is used in it. Because I feel like im inviting death. I also like certain comments (even if I hate what the person said) just to change the number of the comment, because I don't like the number.
I don't like the numbers 3,6,9,11, and sometimes 7. Because 3 sixes is the beast number so I hate 3 and 6. I hate the numbers 9/11 for obvious reasons. And I sometimes don't like 7, because it sounds like heaven which can sometimes remind me of death and loss. But other times, since it reminds me of heaven, the number 7 makes me feel protected. It all depends on which fear im experiencing that day.
Does anyone else relate to this?
I say my brain as well
can someone tell me if i have OCD or if it is just some or the same thoughts. so basically a couple years ago i started making new accounts because i had this feeling but it helped for a bit but then came back. then it got really bad, thankfully is better now, but i would say when i walk through this door frame, my life is perfect but it never lasted long before the feeling came again
Me too
OCD goes before you
not always
Check out mark freeman and Ali greymond for the best ocd help
You have already eaten your brain 😂
you don't need OCD to eat your brain 😂
What medication do you try??? doctor is useless. What helped you??
Holy pajamas 😮😮😮😮
You don't look like an ocd type. Sad, I'm just very in ocd/shame.
The Bible says do not entertain evil thoughts…
That's not ocd
Why do you think that?
Yes it is. There are different types of OCD
Yes it is. It’s an extreme form and absolutely ocd.
You obviously have limited knowledge about OCD.
Oh ypu thought OCD was all about being a dictionary which has absolutely no mistakes? Well, you've been misinformed. We aren't those perfectionist psychopaths as how they portray. Edit: I am sorry I don't know what I said but I didn't mean those who were having the symptoms but those who think that OCD means just traits of irritable emotions when things are not "perfect"
