I struggle a lot with 2,3,4. No one really understands how much it affects my everyday life. I am trying to get out of the habit of hitting myself in the head when something is slightly uneven of for example if I stub my toe I have to stub the other one to make it feel even. This also happens with sound, too. I can’t handle someone whispering in my ear because i don’t hear the sound in both. I end up hitting my ear so hard to wear i actually feel pain until I feel even and perfect. My classmates at school do not understand what ocd is and call me dramatic. They also say phrases like “OMG that gives me like OCD” and it drives me crazy. No one knows the actual meaning. If you do not have ocd and you clicked on this video, I thank you because you already care more about us than anybody else I know. If you have a friend who has ocd I recommend looking it up and asking them what they struggle with. This gesture will surely make them feel safer around you and less annoyed by everything you do if you find out what exactly drives them crazy. Some people with ocd randomly lose their temper to the point where it can get out of control. We obsess over little things until every detail of something is perfect. I really struggle with my grades, not that I get bad grades, it’s just that if I get something under a B+, I have a breakdown and no one can calm me down by saying “oh it’s just one grade” or “oh it’s just a mid term” it’s not always the grades it’s how I’m not following my routine which drives me crazy. I have a planned out schedule for everything. Sorry for venting like this but just writing a comment like this really makes me feel better. Thank you for reading this if you made it all the way here and I pray that you at least care for people that struggle with this condition. I hope you have a great rest of your day.❤
I have never been diagnosed with OCD, but my parents don't really believe in things like these and would not take me to the Docter to get diagnosed. I have been struggling more these days then ever before. I will for example scratch my head and then scratch it on the other side but then it feels like I have to scratch the other side again and then I end up scratching my head till it bleeds. The other thing I do is to pack everything in alfabetical order for example and then when anybody moves it I freak out and I know like in my head that I do not need to freak out but I cannot help it. I also brush my teeth 3 times for 3 minutes but sometimes it will have this weird feeling so then I start again and again and again and then when my mouth bleeds and my teeth hurts I will get stressed out and feel anxious all day because of the swelling because it feels uneven. I also when wearing jewelry scratch the other arm until it bleeds and then I will stop. I also do this thing where I rub my fingers against each other or try to scratch my nails out because it feels uncomfortable. I can't explain to people how hard it is. I wish I myself could afford to pay for money for doctors but I don't unfortunately. I hope one day someone might be able to help me with this. Maybe it's not OCD, maybe I overreact or make it up inside my head but I don't know.
@@Gin2005 this is an uncommon trait of OCD but it is still a trait. I used to barely ever eat because of OCD to the point where I became underweight and unhealthy. You may want to tell your parents and have them take you to a doctor or therapist. Trust me, it really helps.
Slightly wondering if I should get tested because although I have pretty bad anxiety and a shit ton of trauma + PTSD plus other medical conditions it doesn't add up to constantly want to hurt myself to make it even. Thank you for this information. I'm getting scared because it's getting to the point of feeling GOOD to hurt myself if I'm making things even...
I never realized how bad I have this, because I used to take the diagnosis examples way too literally, thinking I don't count numbers or scared of germs, but I do the exact same behaviors with other things so powerfully. I've been very susceptible to this as a kid I'm realizing, but it's due to a lot of trauma and negative reinforcement
Does anyone else who has ocd feel scared about taking medicine out of worry that you won’t remember to do proper routines and checks? I am scared that my life will fall apart and I will forget things.
Yes ! I have all the symptoms mentioned in the video, after years of struggle i started with the meds it kinda slowed down just a little my symptoms but was enough to help me see myself from above and correct some aspects and with time i've got really better, but the side effects of the meds made me stop them gradually (sleeping all day and night), after almost two years now without the meds i am feeling the OCD coming back and taking over slowly, to anyone with sever OCD like me I would suggest taking the meds to help you look at your compultions from a different angle and complement with correctional behavior (if this is the correct name) but dont stay on meds for a long period of time ... also take into consideration your genetics, some can easily get addicted to anything, like coffee, sweet and in this case drugs, your should consult all this with your doc.
Thanks for this video! I always suspected I have mild OCD symptoms but I wasn't sure. I've had them since I was a child. I realise my father has it too, which is why he was able to notice and correct many behaviors as they started to form. They still manifest in the form of obsessively aligning objects, checking the same thing multiple times or repeating actions and thoughts, repeating myself etc. I'd also do this thing where I draw a number or letter against a surface with my finger and I have to keep doing it until I feel I got the shape right. I realise all of these behaviors come from irrational fears. Luckily I found ways to stop myself or rationalise behaviors by rewarding myself mentally or physically if I didn't perform those actions. I still can't bring myself to stop the less intrusive behaviors because it feels better to do them than to not. Also when I manage to will myself out of one behavior a different one appears in it's place. I'm still not sure what the best methods are for getting rid of OCD behaviors but I'd love to know. Luckily what I have doesn't affect my quality of life too badly or I would have seen a psychiatrist by now.
I definitely have trouble with my organization and cleanliness, and if I touch something with my right hand, I HAVE to touch it with my left. Idk why, but something just tells me that I have to. And if a cup is on a coaster, the coaster has to be exactly facing towards me, and so does the cup. I've also never met someone like this, but my favorite number is 8, (I hate odd numbers) and I also like the number 2, and once, I was putting on hand sanitizer, and something told me to do 16 pumps of hand sanitizer (because 8x2 is 16) and I did it. My friend was with me, and she just laughed and asked me why I did it, and I said "IT"S MY OCD!" Everything has to be in line, and organized, and people just don't get it. Sometimes I do some stuff like if I rub my hand against something, I have to do it with my other hand, and some people look at me weird, and I just get super frustrated. If you watched this video, and you don't have OCD, or and symtoms, and have made it this far into my comment, (ty if you have) please try and understand what people like me are going through. It's not like I WANT to annoy myself, but something tells me I HAVE TO DO IT. So pls try and understand. If you know someone like this, talk to them. ❤
Apparently, there are levels of OCD as well. have small amouts of some of the problems, like getting obsessed with shapes but it doesnt bother you too much or makes you angry but you still are affected by the small things and want them in perfect order. when the OCD is not dominant you not get diagnosed at all. cause it is not a bother.
Here is a video explaining the cause of OCD. “The superiority of the Quran. Diagnoses and cure for OCD “by zaidg. Search it on TH-cam. Islam deals with it perfectly.
I have OCD and ADHD with OCD can't stop washing my hands ever since Covid-19 started I been doing it less but my hands still feel dry miss my old hands:(
I have to pray every minute or more to make sure nobody dies is a part of my ocd and i also dont like bacteria and dirty things. I tend to like things being perfect and in order does this count as ocd i have only done online test which came out as severe ocd but i will soon be going to a real therapist to check this because this has been going on for a few years now..

I don’t know if I have ocd, but I have suspected it. When I was younger, I thought ocd was just an obsession with cleaning and germs, but I’ve expressed an obsession with symmetry for as long as I can remember. For example, if I’m sitting and crocheting, I will move my leg and then immediately think that I have to move my other leg in the same way so that it feels equal, which sets off a domino effect where it takes a long time for me to get them to feel equal. As a kid, while my dad would drive me to school, as we passed signs and lamp posts, if one eye saw more of them out of my peripheral vision, I would turn my head so only the other eye could see these things until it felt equal. I distinctly remember one time in fifth grade, I forgot to return a book I borrowed and I was up so late worrying about what would happen, as we had gotten to summer break and I hadn’t returned it. I worried the teacher would be so mad and tell future classes all about what I had done. I don’t know if that’s just anxiety or related to the other symptoms. Ever since I learned more about what ocd can present itself as, I’ve really wondered if I have it.
I have been diagnosed with adhd, but i definitely have the intrusive thoughts part too, mainly just morbid images that also have to do with my religion unfortunately and i hate it.
I have high anxiety that I didn’t realize I had until I was around 20 years old. I’ve also been struggling with ticks for years that make it difficult to breathe or concentrate properly throughout the day. Thoughts race through my mind at every waking moment and when I’m quote on quote asleep I usually have dreams or nightmares that also cause me to not get adequate sleep and so I’m tired all the time, and it causes me even more anxiety/ stress because the dreams tend to relate to my life or my fears in some way. Another thing that has plagued me is my guilt from past mistakes, I’m very critical of myself and hold high morals. God is the most important part of my life as it sets the precipice for my whole life now and in the future. As much as I try to follow the principles written in the Bible .. such as letting go of my anxieties ..I still have a heavy heart at times and I know it’ll take time, prayer, and Holy Spirit. On top of the anxiety, I have yet to get accessed for ocd, as many of the things mentioned in the video I struggle with constantly. Looking forward to the near future when all the anxieties and problems in the world, even death will be a thing of the past.
The reason I’m here is that a couple of years ago I started having these thoughts like “restart the video three times or something bad will happen blah blah” and they stopped and started again recently. This time with more intrusive thoughts. Im not sure if it’s actual ocd or just overreacting
That's mild OCD I think, I have those thoughts too where I have to repeat an action or triple check things out of fear. As long as you recognize you're doing those things and take steps to stop them, ie mentally or physically rewarding yourself for not engaging in those behaviors, you should be fine! I struggle with mild OCD symptoms too but as long as they don't get too severe or you don't feed the compulsions too much there are steps you can take to solve them
I have checking ocd and intrusive thoughts . It really sucks . I can live a normal life without worrying about my family member etc . I also wash my hands a lot due to not wanting germs on them
I have all the symptoms mentioned in the video, after years of struggle i started with the meds it kinda slowed down just a little my symptoms but was enough to help me see myself from above and correct some aspects and with time i've got really better, but the side effects of the meds made me stop them gradually (sleeping all day and night), after almost two years now without the meds i am feeling the OCD coming back and taking over slowly, to anyone with sever OCD like me I would suggest taking the meds to help you look at your compultions from a different angle and complement with correctional behavior (if this is the correct name) but dont stay on meds for a long period of time ... also take into consideration your genetics, some can easily get addicted to anything, like coffee, sweet and in this case drugs, your should consult all this with your doc.
I wash my hands at least 3 times, I disinfect certain things I deem dirty and don't touch them without washing my hands, I check my pockets 10 times in a minute for my wallet and I always overthink about safety. I thought it was normal but I think I might be developing ocd. I doubt it though as its not so severe to the point I need psychiatric help
Is distraction a compulsion? By thar I mean, constantly watching videos, switching to something different on the TV, and doing something completely different once I get an intrusive thought?
I'm 11 and I think I have OCD I like everything to be even I hate it when something is out of order but I'm too embarrassed to ask for help my mum thinks I'm crazy and my sister makes fun of me it I just want help
Well this just described me as a person more obsessing over small problems I only get ocd for order and symmetry if I am already organizing something and I’m like I can’t so I’ll put the bottles from biggest to smallest organize colors I don’t feel like I’ll go to hell if I don’t do these things it’s more of a nag like a headache
Be aware, this is is a very narrow and simplified depiction of OCD. Seems like the makers didn't really bother getting a full grasp before they made the video, listing contamination as just germaphobia lmfao. They also keep alive the annoying shit of OCD is just wanting things to be in order. Don't bother with this
thank you. I have ocd but it is called pure o ocd meaning you have compulsions but they are mental compulsions instead of physical ones you can see. it is just as, or maybe more, debilitating as "typical" ocd. I am concentrating on thoughts and suppressing them, tormented by them even though I don't want to think of them I keep thinking of these thoughts, throughout most of the day every day. this has been happening for many years and has not let up enough. these thoughts can be torture. medications have made it more manageable but don't take it away.
this is just one of my signs but I literally HAVE to have to have one app open at all times with no exception. And I’ll consistently check ATLEAST every 10minutes. So I suppose everyone’s symptoms are different
I dont know why but the moment I lable my thoughts as " these are not my thoughts these are the thoughts of ocd " suddenly my ocd temporarily goes away
Ok question Are there less serious cases where you DONT end up scratching your head and then the other side because it feels uneven and then both because it doesn’t even out till it bleeds? Like I only get it sometimes. For example I’ll just be putting lotion onto my face and I feel the need to do it the same way on the other side at the same time or I just feel off for like ten minutes. It’s not that serious I just feel strange like there is something I forgot to do or something I desperately need to go back to but haven’t. Another example is when I’m holding my phone and I need the same weight on each side. This happened a lot before now - it’s actually settled down a lot. Before I would obsess over making sure my hands were in the right place. An example of this is when I was playing games on my phone a year back (or so) and I felt like I was holding one side too much so I kept shifting and I felt this need to change it so much that I ended up losing this game over trying to move my hands around my phone. I actually thought this happened to everyone until a few months ago. I also get really annoyed when I see someone not doing something the ‘right’ way also known as the way I do things. So like I’ll be walking past someone in the kitchen like my brother or something. I see him putting loads of cups in the bottom drawer instead of the cup drawer. I then get angry at him for doing so and I go out of my way to pick them all up and put them in the cup drawer. Even inside the drawer I need to put them on different sides of the drawer (left = mugs, right = glass). When I’m writing notes on my phone I find it very annoying whenever I’m typing something with brackets in and it ends up crossing over to the next line. Like if it’s on one line it needs to stay on that line. Yet ANOTHER example of ‘this’ is when I’m doing the dishwasher and there’s pots in the sink that I can’t put in the dishwasher. I think to myself ‘If I don’t wash this then my mum is going to have to do it or she might think it’s clean and end up using it to cook because it looks clean and then everyone will get sick and it’ll be my fault. I usually avoid thinking that far by just washing it right away because that’s the ‘right’ thing to do. When I’m reading a book I feel this strange urge to go back and read it again and also to hold the book in a certain way so that my fingers are holding each side the same way. Like I’ll literally stop reading to adjust my hand position to make sure it’s identical. I’ll also tilt my head the same way for the other page when I get to it. And if I go back up a page i need to go down too so my eyes aren’t ‘uneven’. I also get really pissed when things are really close to being aligned but they aren’t. For example I’ll be watching someone stack things like books for example like the video shows and I’ll freak out about how they just left it there. I’ll be like ‘BUT THEY COULD HAVE JUST MOVED IT A TINY LITTLE BIT’ and get really annoyed about it. Someone please tell me I’m not just delusional and I’m not making this up or being dramatic. I don’t understand why this is happening and I can’t talk to anyone about it because they’ll just say I’m being dramatic and make a joke out of it or laugh it off when it’s not a joke and I now realise that I’m not just weird or particular or a perfectionist. So please someone tell me the answer to this question. Do I have ocd??
What if for example if you squeeze one of your fingers then my brain tells me to squeeze all the other ones or else something bad will happen is that ocd or no?
Hi ! I have a certain urge to touch everything like repeatedly or I will get uncomfortable . I overthink really terrible things that's never even gone a happen in real lofe . I want everything in order like books bundle not zigzag . Is tgis ocd ? This happened to me since I was 6 years old .

Also a question, do you get annoyed with eating or just don't feel like eating? I seem to hate eating more and more day by day
Omg i thought I was the only one with that uneven thing. It’s so annoying and exhausting help.
I hope you’re alright

3. I do this with my bedroom door, I check it while I am eating every three minutes…
ERP is the gold treatment for OCD

I have OCD and I WANT to wash my hands every 5 mins at school but I keep thinking that I'm weird and paranoid and so i force myself out of it.
I think the anxiety i feel that i may have been misdiagnosed is probably a sign that i wasnt
I wash my hands at least 3 times, I disinfect certain things I deem dirty and don't touch them without washing my hands, I check my pockets 10 times in a minute for my wallet and I always overthink about safety. I thought it was normal but I think I might be developing ocd. I doubt it though as its not so severe to the point I need psychiatric help
Is distraction a compulsion? By thar I mean, constantly watching videos, switching to something different on the TV, and doing something completely different once I get an intrusive thought?
But for 1, obsession to contamination, it is true right? When someone sneezes near you there are germs spread through the air
I'm 11 and I think I have OCD I like everything to be even I hate it when something is out of order but I'm too embarrassed to ask for help my mum thinks I'm crazy and my sister makes fun of me it I just want help
Well this just described me as a person more obsessing over small problems I only get ocd for order and symmetry if I am already organizing something and I’m like I can’t so I’ll put the bottles from biggest to smallest organize colors I don’t feel like I’ll go to hell if I don’t do these things it’s more of a nag like a headache
Wth even im in roblox I still suffer OCD......i still come at the same place checking if there is a npc left😭😭😭😭
the video is so well made !! do you plan on continuing to make more videos ?
Thanks! Will upload the 2nd part in 4 hours
@@FME thank you so much, i appreciate this !! you have no idea how much your videos helped me regarding to my science subject :)
Just got diagnosed with 4 and I’ve always had 2
Be aware, this is is a very narrow and simplified depiction of OCD. Seems like the makers didn't really bother getting a full grasp before they made the video, listing contamination as just germaphobia lmfao. They also keep alive the annoying shit of OCD is just wanting things to be in order. Don't bother with this
thank you. I have ocd but it is called pure o ocd meaning you have compulsions but they are mental compulsions instead of physical ones you can see. it is just as, or maybe more, debilitating as "typical" ocd. I am concentrating on thoughts and suppressing them, tormented by them even though I don't want to think of them I keep thinking of these thoughts, throughout most of the day every day. this has been happening for many years and has not let up enough. these thoughts can be torture. medications have made it more manageable but don't take it away.
Now I realise my older sister has ocd when no one else relized
The fact I've personally known all these signs lol-
i get so triggered just thinking about someone sneezing etc....nd my brother has hay fever which makes things worse.
The first part made me so mad. I guess I might have ocd
this is just one of my signs but I literally HAVE to have to have one app open at all times with no exception. And I’ll consistently check ATLEAST every 10minutes.
So I suppose everyone’s symptoms are different
I dont know why but the moment I lable my thoughts as " these are not my thoughts these are the thoughts of ocd " suddenly my ocd temporarily goes away
That’s reassurance compulsion I think
If this is excessive, repetitive, and inducing a strong urge despite feeling troubled or discomfort, then it may be another compulsion.
@@FME no I mean it just comforts me when I lable my thought
@@eklavyasingh8143 I think it's similar to the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (covered in the 2nd part), but you did it yourself. Hope you are well!
@@hafizhinsan5410 i actually feel kinda normal nowadays , fingers crossed 🤞
I have had OCD for 7 years.
Ok question
Are there less serious cases where you DONT end up scratching your head and then the other side because it feels uneven and then both because it doesn’t even out till it bleeds? Like I only get it sometimes.
For example I’ll just be putting lotion onto my face and I feel the need to do it the same way on the other side at the same time or I just feel off for like ten minutes. It’s not that serious I just feel strange like there is something I forgot to do or something I desperately need to go back to but haven’t.
Another example is when I’m holding my phone and I need the same weight on each side. This happened a lot before now - it’s actually settled down a lot. Before I would obsess over making sure my hands were in the right place. An example of this is when I was playing games on my phone a year back (or so) and I felt like I was holding one side too much so I kept shifting and I felt this need to change it so much that I ended up losing this game over trying to move my hands around my phone. I actually thought this happened to everyone until a few months ago.
I also get really annoyed when I see someone not doing something the ‘right’ way also known as the way I do things. So like I’ll be walking past someone in the kitchen like my brother or something. I see him putting loads of cups in the bottom drawer instead of the cup drawer. I then get angry at him for doing so and I go out of my way to pick them all up and put them in the cup drawer. Even inside the drawer I need to put them on different sides of the drawer
(left = mugs, right = glass).
When I’m writing notes on my phone I find it very annoying whenever I’m typing something with brackets in and it ends up crossing over to the next line.
Like if it’s on one line it needs to stay on that line.
Yet ANOTHER example of ‘this’ is when I’m doing the dishwasher and there’s pots in the sink that I can’t put in the dishwasher. I think to myself ‘If I don’t wash this then my mum is going to have to do it or she might think it’s clean and end up using it to cook because it looks clean and then everyone will get sick and it’ll be my fault. I usually avoid thinking that far by just washing it right away because that’s the ‘right’ thing to do.
When I’m reading a book I feel this strange urge to go back and read it again and also to hold the book in a certain way so that my fingers are holding each side the same way. Like I’ll literally stop reading to adjust my hand position to make sure it’s identical. I’ll also tilt my head the same way for the other page when I get to it. And if I go back up a page i need to go down too so my eyes aren’t ‘uneven’.
I also get really pissed when things are really close to being aligned but they aren’t. For example I’ll be watching someone stack things like books for example like the video shows and I’ll freak out about how they just left it there. I’ll be like ‘BUT THEY COULD HAVE JUST MOVED IT A TINY LITTLE BIT’ and get really annoyed about it.
Someone please tell me I’m not just delusional and I’m not making this up or being dramatic. I don’t understand why this is happening and I can’t talk to anyone about it because they’ll just say I’m being dramatic and make a joke out of it or laugh it off when it’s not a joke and I now realise that I’m not just weird or particular or a perfectionist.
So please someone tell me the answer to this question.
Do I have ocd??
What if for example if you squeeze one of your fingers then my brain tells me to squeeze all the other ones or else something bad will happen is that ocd or no?
Hi ! I have a certain urge to touch everything like repeatedly or I will get uncomfortable . I overthink really terrible things that's never even gone a happen in real lofe . I want everything in order like books bundle not zigzag . Is tgis ocd ? This happened to me since I was 6 years old .
