Thank you
Thanku .......aameen
it gets in the WAY of frirnd Ship- very disagreeable Co Worker ( microManager) wow
Thank you I really needed to see this im struggling really badly right now
@@SinestroDC me too but which one u are suffering cleaning stuffs again and again?
I was diagnosed with ocd when i was 13. I went through a lot of therapy and medication. I took my last pill about a month ago and im 19 now. I don't think anyone can even imagine the pain you have to go through when you have ocd. If you, my unseen friend are reading this comment and you have ocd or you have the same symptoms, i love you, i understand you, and i deeply hope you manage it as soon as possible.
I have ocd too
Its a difficult dependence on meds
@@joyrut1770 bro medicine cant do anything... just antidepressants.. u should fight with those demon talkings(cos its not us). best way is ignore it( nothing in the world will happend if we ignore it). and try to be social more it helps
@@joyrut1770 You shouldn't really depend on meds, ssri course takes around a year for a person to stabilize enough to slowly wean off, and hope for the best after that because the chance of anxiety (of any kind, whatever you had before) coming back is around ~36%. But saying that meds don't work for ocd, like the dude in a video said, is simply a lie. They work for me, and many other people I know - most of them never had any ocd comebacks after weaning off the meds.
@@wybuchowyukomendant I did not get it from your comment.Are meds recommended or not
Long time ocd sufferer, took medication for 12 years and tried to quit multiple times. Drastically reduced sugar, started exercising a lot and was able to get off the meds. Been off for over 2 years now. Make sure to keep studying and learning, and keep fresh in your mind the things you learned from counseling.
I have OCD and I cried while watching this.. it is so relatable.. it brings tears to think someone understands..
I also have ocd. Please help me dhar ji
@@nimmiskitchen5298 which type of ocd u have??
Ya it's wrost
I too have little ...but i hve cure 80% by taking homeopathic medicine it really really works
I have OCD from 8 years recently I got to know... Be strong, faith is important... God bless you..

6. Do EXPOSURE N RESPONSE PREVENTION THERAPY AND CBT THERAPY
7. You r stronger than ocd . Keep recovery track everyday ✍
8. Be positive and focus on better things 😊
9. SAY THANK U TO GOD EVERYDAY 🙏
It hard 😞
@@zigdalbhutia7612 yes it's very hard.suffering a lot with OCD pain
Thank God for cursing you with OCD? That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I want to add one more. Keep chanting your favorite God's name
@@patillaxman6247 Satan! Satan! Satan! It's not working. 👎
I felt when he said in OCD you don't control your mind, your mind controls you.
Yes
So true
Exactly ☹️
Yeah
Brain not mind
Good explanation sir, People think OCD is all about cleaning, due to lack of awarness. We hv to raise OCD awareness in India. Come on OCD Fighters, Let's beat OCD together.
How
I make videos about OCD self help..You're Welcome in my channel
Don't respond thoughts only 1 solution that can kill ocd from ur mind .I know this is though but you have to make habit to dont respond thoughts .
Yassss
I am with you all my bros
I recovered from OCD and you can definitely recover. Do ERP as much as possible and refuse reaction.
Erp means
Whats ERP ?
@ALI GREYMOND Is it possible to get complete recovery from ocd
@@thesoccerjunkie5433 exposure & response prevention
@@shubhamrathi6891 exposure & response prevention
OCD is a prison. No other way to describe it. Anyone who doesn’t have it will never understand the pain it causes those who are afflicted with it. Prayers for all those still suffering. There are brighter days ahead. Stay strong folks
Very well explained :) It's funny how so many people suffer in silence around the world and yet we think we are all alone :(
Hey...crazy to see a Kenyan here
@@mosesmaina3272 lol, we are everywhere 😅
@@nkinyori Great to know there is someone close we can reach out to when our minds are running wild on us :-)
Inner me broken because of ocd
Yeah! I also thought that i am alone,even my family's words sound like that to me
I am into tears by seeing the comment section that there are people like me, I am not ALONE and the best thing is-we understand each other. It sometimes kills me with depression by thinking the losses, the misunderstood by everyone, the lonely sufferings, the monster indie us, the unseen silent battles. May ALLAH protect you all and grant you recovery asap, Ameen.
Unseen n silent battles being fought within ,perfectly described dear may Allah help us all to come out of this deadly monstr killing us slowly
@@waqarahmedinsisghts one thing-we are stronger than that monster or OCD. Keep in mind.
OCD can't be seen from outside . It's a bully inside your head that keep attacking u with bad thoughts and making u do things u don't want to do by giving u heavy anxiety . It's soo serious . No joke !!
@@edwardjimenez505 Lol for me it's a voice that acts like a psychopath so It gets more disturbing every year so it's hard for me🥲
Edit: I can't hear it though, it's like an internal voice
@@shurj6636 r u ok ?
While sitting with uncertinty while felling body sensation and urges are compulsion
This is the best video of OCD I have EVER seen.

OCD is such a bad disease that we can not express what are the thoughts we are going through. Normal people will not understand your prblm
Being an OCD person i really see him as an inspiration. ERP is good but combined with CBT it would be super effective(just helped me a lot in my life).The worst thing is that people wash their hands and clean their room and say they have OCD but you know OCD IS MORE THAN THAT.
How you treated your ocd ,have you takem any medicines pl tell
I consulted a very good psychiatrist and i have been taking meds for past 4 years. Find a good psychiatrist and take CBT sessions regularly with the doc.
@@vishalthiyagarajan7276 are these med are expensive coz nowday am financialy weak thats y hav asked and not hav psychiatrist at near by locality if u can tell me it will be helpful
Meds differ for each persons...only doctor can say which meds to take. My meds are not expensive anyway becoz i took only very mild medication.
@@vishalthiyagarajan7276 does meds really helps ?
Is it take long time to shuw the effrcts ?
Ocd produces the worse thoughts imaginable about the people and things you love. Forcing the compulsion because you cannot risk it. Complete respect for this guy.
Nicely explained. I have OCD, and I have a long way to go, but whatever improvements I've brought in my life, is all because of will power. We need to have faith in ourselves, we need to be confident and we must remember that we can't let OCD take control. Will power is everything. We will have to find the strength to fight it. The strength, the power all lie within us, we have to train our minds to not get carried away by those disturbing thoughts. We are not alone, there are thousands of people affected by OCD. Everyone's fighting their own battles. We just need to have faith that everything's going to be okay.😊
Thanks! For sharing your experience..

@@mirhadi5453 not good
100% true first time have seen someone explaining something perfectly
“That’s what OCD does to you.” Such powerful words that those of us who suffer or have suffered can relate to.
U can try Vishal pahwa standing meditation.. Heard many persons got recovered .
I’ve been fighting OCD for fifteen years. I’m talking about debilitating OCD. Not the type of OCD where everything is neat and clean. It has taken A LOT of hard work to overcome my challenges, but it is not impossible. There is always hope! This guy hit the nail right on the head! Well done, sir!
As someone who suffers, you could have more awareness than to continue spreading the narrative of “neat and clean.”
@@missalex2718 we all have our own idiosyncrasies. I was just stating that my OCD is not about being neat and clean.
David, May I ask what type of OCD you struggle with?
@@Isabela-ex8hk Hello Isabela,
The type of OCD that I deal with has been hypochondria for a long time and it has been very challenging to deal with but progress has been made. A lot of individuals with OCD don’t know how to implement coping skills into their daily life. I was one of them until I told myself that this will not control my life. They are just thoughts.
Guys I recovered from Ocd, just be courageous it is very important, and never do compulsions ur brain tells to do don't listen to it, take deep breath and do other work, never ever think of it again, if ur compulsion reason is high then think and do compulsion of not doing compulsion it helps to some extent, but don't ever try to do compulsions if u dont do compulsions u can recover easily, have courage and sit in sunshine for 15-30 mins(for serotonin) and read books, I read bhagavatgita it helped me a lot do read it ,u will get some courage(u can find it online ) in that god says to fight and gives u courage to fight and says many more things about mind,
keep ur self busy don't think too much and do the work more and also exercise and don't respond to your thoughts
Bhai mera ph no ha ek bar muj se baat kr le ma Zindagi brr tere lie duaey kruga Bhai apna choota Bhai smj le 🙏

1)do exercise a lot
2 )keep yourself busy by doing work
3 )never ever do compulsions for obsessions (don't respond to your thoughts)
4)read books like bhagavtgita and courageous books
5)dont think and analize too much
6)also try affrimations such as I'm health and I will get positive thoughts
Try these for 2 months u will be fine
Be courageous all the best bro
Bro is ocd thoughts are real being it extreme or normal?Or is it just an unrealistic thought?
@@ko-kf2nu dont think do your work
Everyone will recover soon 😃 and will Happy life forever ❤️❤️❤️
This guy really explained OCD perfectly well, best video of OCD I've ever watched. Very helpful
Thank you so so much for this. I’ve been struggling with OCD since my earliest memories around 6 years old. It’s gotten progressively worse over the years. There’s been so many times when I’ve resorted to self harm especially recently (but I’m finally 3 weeks clean!) and I just feel like giving up on life completely. I’m grateful my boyfriend he is so supportive and cares, but I know it stresses him out and I feel like such a burden at times. I will not give up!! I will stay here on this earth and I will keep trying, I’m going to do my best to fight this illness and continue down the journey of improving my mental health. I’ve got this, YOU’VE GOT THIS!💖
Much respect to you (Jay) for raising awareness and talking publicly about your personal experience with OCD. Best wishes to you!
It takes courage to address & acknowledge in public platform that one suffers from the disease, but I am glad u overcame it. U are really courageous. May God give the same courage & will power to all those others suffering from this to cure themselves.
OCD is one of the most brutal disorders anyone can go through, first hand experience from this terrible illness
Exactly! only a person suffering from ocd can understand another who has ocd.each and every line ,so relatable
I can really help u , mujhe bhi ocd tha pehle har type ka hand washing , god related , counting , negative thoughts , mene 16 ki age mai medications start ki and now i'm 17 and really almost(90%+) completely fine , i m just left with one obsession that is i really get confused and brain fogged while talking to girls , we can connect if u want , my girls exposure will also increase and i may even also help u that how i managed my ocd and could tell u about my medications i took.
Thanks Jay.. extremely motivating.. My son is facing OCD symptoms & your talk has helped me in understanding this problem solution in the right perspective
The most helpful video about OCD and anxiety I ever watched. Not even professionals explained it as good as this guy. Thank you for the amazing tips 🙏🏼
This is such a perfect explanation of what OCD is. Maybe it’s because his parallels mine and I’m biased but this is the best TedTalk on OCD I’ve come across. It’s perfect.
One of the greatest OCD talks I've ever come across. As a university student who suffered severe OCD since the age of 13, I feel reassured and calmed as I'm not the only one going through this disorder. Thank you for the presentation.
Perfectly explained sir ! I hope everyone will be cured one day , we all are fighters just don't give up ! Don't react to those negative thoughts
Suffering OCD since 14 years old and now I am 31 with a husband and son. A secret nobody knows just me and God and you (beacause ur reading this 😊)
Our mind is the battlefield, it's so exhausting, stressful and frustrating. People with OCD live a different kind of normal. We keep on doing weird things to relief our fears .. do the compulsions all over again and again .. the cycle never stops. We can't sleep if we don't so these compulsions . I want to get back to the years where it all started.
Hello lady
I’m 18 I really wanna stop it and live a normal life so can you tell me how could you deal with this?
How could you ignore it and just be normal?
You know what I mean I’m just tired
Thanks for reading ❤
Stop doing the compulsions please, thats the only way out, focus on things that matter like getting a work done, cleaning, listening to music etc. overtime brain learns from your deeds and ocd thoughts begin to fade away, I did it and I can confidently say Recovery is possible! Pl research Jeffrey Schwartz books, esp his 4 R’s framework for curing ocd, it works! The anxiety is going to shoot up when u stop doing compulsions but u have to be strong, coz eventually that anxiety subsides too
@@anuaethera Hi I’m really thankful for answering!
Yes you are right the only way is to stop doing the compulsion but you know it’s not easy because if I wanna stop them then suddenly a what if comes an ruin basically everything and every single task that I’m about to start that obsessive thought comes to my mind.
I know I have to be strong and stop doing the compulsions is the only way out so wish me luck 💚
@@mahmoonie4262 yes OCD will send you anything to get your attention, just treat it like some dogs barking, do not pay attention. The anxiety is gonna go really high let me tell you when u stop the compulsions but dont give in, and it might even take weeks to months to get better coz you are teaching your brain a new way to behave, but be patient and be strong, you can do it 💪
Thank you so, so much for sharing this! A very close family member is suffering from OCD, and just to know that there is help and there are tools to help is so supportive for a family!! They are receiving councillong which is helping, and as they are young it is good to be able to identify this illness early. Thank you with all of my heart, again.
Pain, suffering only those will know who have ocd I tooo know pain I have ocd
yes sir from lower kindergarten i am suffering this and
I am also one of those who is suffering from this, all those who are suffering from OCD, please try to understand that nothing is bigger than you, all legends have won their battles alone so never get feared with anything, life is not a straight line but a road with many adventures.
Second let go of anything you are attached to, practice detachment wherever possible, it's not that easy at the beginning but can be acquired after regular practice.
Do mantra chanting which calms down your mind.
I am doing all this to get rid of this illness.
Thank you.🙏🙏
I’ve thought of so many words to say during this comment. My OCD intrudes even as I do so. All I can say is I thank you & pray 🤲 one day I will recover as well as everyone! Just thank you.
I laughed so hard and cried because I thought all my life that I was alone, I do a lot of the things he describes, a great relief in my heart, thank you so much now I know it can gat better God bless you sir
I am suffering from ocd from the past 12 years and this vedio is so damn relatable that it makes me cry every single time
How are you now?
I HAVE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION , BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND IT IS FROM OCD
All I can say you is thank you for sharing your experience in this platform.
Wow, this was so life changing for me to watch. I’ve seen it once before but still I appreciate how deep into it you went. So people can understand how severe it can be and for opening up about the parts like the depression and anger it can cause , until now I thought I was crazy for getting so upset over the mental torment going on
Thank you for raising awareness about ocd
congrats for you sir such brave thing u does get out ur self from it. I m also suffering from ocd since 4-5 month its like a monster in side my mind ..
This video will do the world of good for me.
Thanks Jay, you're amazing. I am facing some severe anxiety and OCD for several months now. Panic attacks are really scary but i am working on my will power with just homeopathy medicines and meditation.
Wish everyone around the world all the best who are suffering with such situations which our society take as joke only.
Stay strong guys!
i m also suffering from ocd...

Does homeopathy work
@@ashishkumar-rd8jg my friend, homeopathy work's..i am suffering from this beast'ive choose too many paths,and the legit one is homeopathy..i am practicing this 2 years.This period i am confident,and fight really hard.When an intrusive thought is coming,i ignore this thought and after a 15minute high pressure just stops!!! It's a habit of overthinking..overthinkink creates anxiety,and anxiety creates the ritual's..Ignore it again and again..and say to yourself that you cant die from this pressure'its not real!!!yes homeopathy work's..ive ocd 9 year's..its a long experience...and remember,not to use red line pill's for anxiety,and keep a distance from People,who stress you
Use everything from mama nature..just find a shop with herb's.. pill's are pill's..real homeopathy means herb's and not afraid to ingone the thought..when the temptation of rituals insults you keep walking🙂
I can totally relate to you sir this is a worst thing to deal with such a terrible thing .
I salute your boldness..It takes do much courage to talk in open platform ..You are brave.God is with you
i am living with ocd and i was completely shattered at one pont of time i have become very very very strong emotionally now there were times i used to breakdown but as soon as i heal i will become a brain made of diamond solid matter
I'm the same way man. I've become almost too strong, and I have my moments where I break down, but I bounce back and become even stronger. It's a blessing and a curse, but I'm overall happy I'm here with it, it's matured me and changed my perspective on emotions and life as whole🤟
😀😀 i agree with both of uuu i also strong with mind aaj jo hun gjb hun alg level pe hun :sala samjh accha h ki khraab...bahut roya pal pal mra lekin bahut gjb personality devlope kiya
u got it ik u will make a way out of it (im an ocd patient too i understand)
@@user-dt3fx5cw2o stop gapping brother
Lol same it's because (too gory to say so if you want you can click read more:)
Because for me it's like a voice that told me to do things or it would somehow kill my family or me. At first I never believed it when I first got it 10 years ago but it would then make my brain feel like it was emitting some next dark waves. Eventually it became kind of like a psychopath and forced me to imagine my family dying by exactly what it says. I used to watch a lot of gory and twisted scenes or anime to get stronger mentally, but I didn't know my OCD voice would become so disturbing. For example, it would tell me to imagine my family being killed by a trap in the movie "saw", then the killer disects their organs and puts it on a plate and decapitated them and put nails on their mouths to make them all smile very creepy like, and then puts them in an oven. I used to cry everyday from this because I love my family so much, but it tells me to imagine this to save them. It's so cruel... it makes me imagine the sounds, the screaming, and I can't take it... I've gotten used to seeing things in darker subjects but I can never get over something like that happening to my loved ones. I feel like it's twisted personality is affecting me... like I'm turning into him overtime... but at least I get mood swings now so when I'm with my family I'm happy. But darn OCD I used to be such a kind guy and now it just makes me say "damn you" to it and I'm always angry. Dammit
Edit: lol sorry I vented too much
The way he explained, can't relate more...
This is they key for me. I have severe OCD I had to label it then give it up by not paying attention to or feeding it. Did that by ignoring it and doing nice things for others. I stopped calling others for reasurrance. I thought I was going to die when I stopped.feeding the OCD. It was so uncomfortable. But more practiced I would get these moments of being Free from OCD. I wore a watch and said ok I am not going to feed the OCD for 1 minute. Allot of practice. OCD never goes away but Its a liar and I ignore the liar. This talk really works!!!!
Great talk. Ppl seem to think ocd is a fun trend. It’s instead exactly what u said it is. Very very painful.
Thanks for explaining in a subtle yet detailed manner sir. Salute to you for opening up and help make people aware. Hare Krishna.

GREAT VIDEO MAN! Thank you so much for the tips, i have OCD and trust me those who don't have it are very lucky. I guess life is'nt that complicated that we try to make it, instead of improvement of ourselves when solutions are vastly available we still keep overthinking our problems and useless things. To all fighting this demon with me, all the best guys don't give up we will all become free of this suffering one day. Take care
Sincere thanks
Wish I could thank him personally this helped me a lot one of the best tedx talks from india
This is the best video on OCD in you tube
Thank you for this video so much! I cannot stress enough how important this was and your story was so amazing to hear. I have suffered with OCD since I was in elementary school and I'm now 19 . It's gotten actually worse recently but yesterday I felt so much like my happy self. Like when I was able to think without OCD making me feel like I'm. It even alive anymore. I've always had it since I can remember but just recently it will get so bad and then I get severely depressed but I had a good day yesterday and it reminded me that I can be happy and it's worth fighting! Now I know there's a way out. I have a hard time because I've searched and searched and I have a specific OCD fear that I can't find anyone else to have an answer to which is a fear of possession. I have severe scrupulosity or religious OCD and it's tough cause I can't really find out if I am and then I start to physically feel it happening and I convince myself I'm not here and it gets so real I begin to disociate and feel like someone is taking me over. But I know it's my mind because nothing does happen bad I just feel not ok. But even feeling that way sucks I guess I have to just stop giving into the fears and compulsions and wait it out knowing God has me protected and I'm just convincing myself I'm not good but I will be fine. I gotta keep at it. I can do this and because of your story and others I know that I can be happy one day. I canc start now
Jay, we are completely satisfied and happy with your video, and really we need such people who can come to public platform with solutions to OCD kind of diseases. Love u...🥰
This is totally relable my current situation...I am also suffering from OCD and fighting with them and I have believe one day I recover it...Thanku 😍😍🥰🥰😊😊😌
Same story , I am 20 and watching this video right now
Exposure and response prevention , its a great technique.
Currently going through behaviour therapy for my ocd. It’s so hard, especially because of how bad it is now. I’ve had it for over 10 years and I’m nearly 19.
Do something you love. If you have anything to focus on, find it. My OCD was ridiculous it was all over the spectrum but i found peace through god. I started to read the bilbe and use it as my code of conduct and everything started to make sense. Trust I was never religious to began with but i found peace through it.
You'll be fine. You're not alone.

I'm 62. Had it since 8 years old. 54 years of OCD.
Trust me... exposure therapy works. You WILL make a breakthrough and get you OCD under control. You can't cure it but you can prevent it from controlling you. Exposure therapy enables you to lead a normal life and relegates OCD to a minor issue.
I had ocd since childhood (around 5-6 years). Infact I don't remember any part of my life without OCD. It's changes from but it's present. After 20 , I have more mental ocd than physical one. I find it more difficult to control as my compulsion is mental too. The guy above is talking about the mental one and it's really terrifying as I can spend hours and hours stuck in loops of thought. I hate it when people make fun of OCDs
Thank you so much for this video Jay.
Whenever such thoughts pops up.just say to yourself..I can't do anything about it.
Everything is mortal.
This video is so helpful. When I’m going through this horrible thing that’s ruining my life.
I am also fighting with ocd and one that is helping me out is a book name "Brain Lock" by Jeffrey Schwartz. First I also thought how can a book help me to fight against ocd but fortunately it is helping so please i request you to atleast give a try. And All the best
I cannot explain this in words how this video has helped me .
I am right now taking counseling sessions and this is the best thing that could happen to me .
Thank you very much
Are you seeing a psychiatric ?
Hai
Why r u asking that question?
R u a pshycatrist?
No, I have this ocd and I wanted to know what kinda help you are getting?
hi can u plz tell me frm were u takin counselling
counseling means what they gonna give u?
A brilliant talk, very well spoken, very strong in painting pictures of various situations. I have OCD and I've known about it only for a few years, even though it started when I was a child. Nobody paid any mind to my little "ticks", thinking it was just a kid being a bit weird. Well, things got bad. Really bad. I had problems from going to work to actually breathing regularly for years. When I learned about OCD, I started doing research. I found a wonderful tutorial on what you can do to help treat your OCD and I got so much better. Today almost all of my fearful thoughts are gone. All but one. There is this one thing that keeps haunting me and just won't go away. The tricky thing about this fear is, it is very specific and it's not really farfetched.
Now, I don't have your typical contamination fear, which would be to just be afraid of all kinds of germs and especially of the really severe illnesses out there. I don't have that. I don't fear that I might get HIV in the most unlikely situations, or stuff like that. Or that someone might bring something like meningitis to my house. Nothing like that. My big fear is very simply coming down with a cold. It terrifies me just to think of it and here's why: I suffer from severe allergies that get worse during the cold season no matter what I do (central heating is my lung's enemy). And even during summer my lung and nose are not as healthy as other people's. So, not exactly good from the beginning, getting worse in winter. If I then catch a cold, not only will I get swelling to the point where it's really difficult to breathe, but the moment my body goes back into auto-immune mode, the real horror begins. My throat gets extremely slimy and I get very, very bad coughing fits. Before my allergies were found to be this severe, my doctor had me go test for whooping cough, that's how bad I usually get. And it continues for months. It will not go away before at least two months, but three is more likely, really. So, I get this from a little cold. I hope it's understandable that it freaks me out. So I do everything to prevent getting colds. I wash my hands a lot, people have to wash their hands before touching things in my room. I never wear clothes that I was out with at home. I always shower before sitting down at my table or on my sofa. I know that it's not healthy to do these things. I also feel that the issue is stressing me out a lot, because I worry about it a lot during the day, but there's just nothing I can do, because I know that if I'm not careful, I might catch that cold and it will torment me for months and that's even more exhausting.
I really don't know what to do about this situation. If anyone has experience with something like this, I'm grateful for any advise, or story related to this. I know I'm overdoing it and I hate how scared I am of nothing but a little cold, stressing over it so much that it honestly wears me out. But the violent coughing, the short breath, the problems when talking... it's just so horrible that I think that I'll do anything to avoid it. Medication doesn't really help, so I just really suffer when it happens. It's extremely awful, so I work a lot to avoid it, even though it's not 100% possible, of course. Again, any thoughts on this are welcome.
Beautifully expressed!❤❤

You too sir thank you for helping us. Been seeing your video on ocd. Your video helps alot.
You too make great videos Sir
a special thanks from my heart❤️
Great closing statements. Powerful presentation.
Somewhat realistic presentation, got emotional while hearing because no one can understand not even Doctors and forget about family understanding. Some people will even laugh at you if they know your situation.
