Life Noggin thank you
Aaaahhh Steve :D
Life Noggin you are the best. every time I watch the video after it was published after 1 second. #^_^
Life Noggin could you do one on adhd?
Trend ocd = Crybabies who sometimes organize
Real ocd = Routines from Hell that waste your time and life
CerealKiller it was terrifying to think I'm wasting my life. but I could not stop.
YESSS
Oh i am wasting my time on everything
dont forget it also wastes your money. i have ocd but more on a fear of germs/contamination/chemical/safety spectrum. the recurring thought is that id get sick and die or id make others sick and they'd die because of me. i can't relax and im often depressed because i can't do basic things without taking an addition hour or two before i finally feel ready to move on.
👍🏼
OCD is frustrating, exhausting and a logistical nightmare. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Thanks for posting.
DirtRich
Tbh I probably would but not in as an extreme case as mine. I can't stand most people because any clearing of throat, cough, sniff will send me into panic mode. Fortunately for me I can become a crazy animal person. I just realized how easy it is to change a subject. How great is that.
DirtRich I know, I've had OCD for about 5 years now. It's so hard to control and I know it doesn't make any sense; people who don't have OCD can't possibly understand the crazed feeling of desperately wanting, no, NEEDING to do your little ticks. I can remember so many times I've gotten in trouble because of my OCD ticks. So for any people with OCD out there I feel your pain.
😭😭 My relationship with my family is going downhill but they don't understand, they say I'm pretending even though I've been to the doctor. I have anxiety too but they say I'm pretending it's sucks tbh. To go through the pain is one thing but the people around you not believing it or denying is just as painful...
My friend had legit OCD. When she hears people say things like, “omg I have OCD” “My OCD is mad at this jar” or whatever she almost always cries (she’s sensitive)
Don’t do this
Sky's Corner that's kinda sad
It's the same as saying "I have adhd" but you're just unconcentrated and distracted of what you're maybe thinking. This becomes offensive towards people who actually have the disorder.
Sky's Corner tell your friend to grow the f up
i am not as sensitive as i once was but if someone said that i’d probably cry too because i wish it was that simple to deal with
Sky's Corner same with when people talk about autism carelessly for me, because I have it, and it really hurts to hear people say like, “You can’t have autism, people can’t communicate if they have autism” and stuff like that.
OCD in my opinion is one of the most torturous mental disorders. I’ve been diagnosed and your mind can go to some extremely dark places, and unwanted thoughts.
The stupidest topics will keep me up at night and ruin my day. When it’s compulsive thoughts nothing relieves the anxiety. Nothing. I just punch my pillow and cry until it decides to go away on its own.
@@Someinternetuser if you aren’t already seek medical help. I have OCD and take medication it makes it a lot better and i am able to sleep… sometimes.. I am trying to get more meditation soon
Yes 😖 It’s murderous.
yes! actual ocd feels and appears from the outside much more like possession than anything people who casually claim to have it believe it does. I'm sick of people looking for mental health diagnosis to make themselves feel unique and quirky. they don't understand what they are asking for.
its more dangerous then being dead
no one understands they think it’s just cleaning or being a ‘perfectionist’ but there’s so much more to it than that
yes i under stand that i have ocd
@@TKMrMonday ive had OCD sience 4th grade, or at least was diagnosed back then. It really began in 3rd grade, so ive had it for a while
Yea ocd sucks, feels like i've been having an internal dialogue with myself for my whole life lol
@@loganferner9719 one hundred percent
I don't have OCD, but its still annoying when people can't understand what it is.
It really grinds my gears how people refer to ocd as if it's tendonitis or something similar. "Oh my darn ocd is acting up again haha." It really flubbers my butter.
It flubbers my butter too
This is unbelievably relatable. Off topic, but I clicked off onto your channel and I was pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work mate!
Christy Knox lmao
_FLUBBERS MY BUTTER_
I love flubbered butter. so hard to find these days.

Yup
Omg same!!
Me too! I have found my people!
Firstly, "I'm OCD" doesn't make any sense. You are not "obsessive compulsive disorder" people, guys.
Triggered by grammar
dadZawa Shouta same like just why
Every single friend of mine thinks that they have OCD.
Time to show them this video.
yea
D.A.B Science and More!
I don't suffer from OCD or any disorder but I do kinda get the feeling they have.
I was getting stressed from my exams and because of this I did very odd body movements such as twitching my head or fingers and having to perform tasks by multiples of 5. I also wash my hands frequently but this is because of my forgetfulness. And I can tell you this, it feels frustrating as you can't let something go and sometimes it bothers you until you do it.
Also, to people who claim but are not diagnosed with mental disorders, just stop. You are making things worst for people with actual mental disorders.
D.A.B Science and More! YES ME TOO THEY THINK THEYRE SPECIAL
D.A.B Science and More! pls do......
ofcourse you will think that u have ocd because u repeatedly remind ur brain that (ocd is organize) so you will organize too
Some kid: I told them I had O.C.D. because it came up. They looked in my backpack and it was not the neatest thing in the world. They were like You don"t have O.C.D. because it is not organized.
Me:............
Yeah. It kind of made me upset because people only joke about it these days
thats really good. Mine has gotton better but I also have to swallow water but its 9 times
I have constant thoughts of my mom dying and that’s why I have ocd, that kid would have gotten me mad
she got me really mad but i did not tell her. I also have thoughts about my mom dying too alot.
What are kids taught these days lol
I can't explain how stupid the people are who think they have OCD while they are completely clueless about what the disorder is and what it does.
Crillic When people say they have OCD 90% of them are just joking. Most people aren't completely clueless and they know that OCD is a real sickness.
Crillic Exactly😞
Crillic agreed. Although I believe people just say it for the hell of it, not because they believe they have it.
Crillic EXACTLYYYY
I don't think they're all actually stupid, they're just uneducated on what OCD entails and use the term incorrectly because of that.
I count my steps, repeat words in my head, non stop, I can’t stop itttt. I check things over and over again but only sometimes
I repeat words in my head all the time like i pick a word to help me function and i repeat it over and over in my head. I know this ain't normal.
I always will repeat words in my head. Also, if i heard someone sing a song or hum a tune, i will also repeat the word in the way of the tune. It gets annoying. Also, when i see someone doing something I know how to do, I HAVE TO DO IT. Especially if they are doing it a different way. I don’t even know why i have to do it. And I will sit there, watching for the tiniest mistake, the tiniest excuse to do it for them, even after they have finished. Is this OCD or do i just have a complex and don’t know about it
Me too
Im hum the same song over and over agian but people think ocd is only about clenign
I meen word
A person has O.C.D. They AREN'T O.C.D.
It annoys me SO MUCH when people say "I am so OCD"
i could start crying that is so true.
Yeap
Some people are lying
Yes!
Can you do an ADHD version of this? I feel like a lot of teenagers need to understand that it's a mental disorder NOT a "cute and quirky" trait.
-From a long time fan
Yes, between ADHD and Dyslexia are two that I hear casually thrown around, and it really annoys me.
people constantly say "im so ocd" and it pisses me off. or they dont believe that i have ocd just because im not obsessed with cleaning. their extreme misunderstanding makes no sense lol
Yep, I am very energetic and compulsively say stuff and kids always say that I have ADHD but it is not proven
+Kobe Negron Its a simple case of misunderstanding, OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality/Perfectionist Disorder) is the desire to constantly be clean and organized, OCD on the other hand is when you repeat an action to reduce anxiety/stress for a brief time say, you think "If i don't check on my dog in 30 minutes it could get hurt." You proceed to check on them every 30 minutes for lord knows how long until you go into your next repeated action...
When kids realized they could use it as an excuse in class. It's so.... what was I talking about again?
I was diagnosed with OCD at around the age of 8. I was told that it is very uncommon in children and with most people who have OCD, it doesn't come into affect until they're 20s. At the time, that made me feel special... Within a year that changed to a feeling of "none of my peers understand". Since then I have gotten along with, and felt more comfortable around adults rather then people my own age. One time, when I was around ten, I heard a kid in the hall say "I get OCD about that", when I heard them say that, I was so excited. I turned to them and said "You have OCD! I do too!" They acted like it was normal and everyone had OCD. It wasn't too long before I realized that people were using the term OCD like it referred to something that slightly bothered them. That's not what it is. Unless you were diagnosed with OCD, you most likely don't have it. One year I had a teacher who, not only was a great teacher, but also had OCD and would understand when I when I'd try to only walk on certain colored tiles, or tap my fingers on a page a seemingly random number of times before moving on with the book, along with multiple other things. It was the best year I can remember. The next year though, my teacher was the exact opposite. I don't only have OCD, I also have ADHD and other things. Because of this, I had something called an IEP, or Individualized Education Plan. This teacher decided that she didn't need to pay attention to my IEP and gave me the same everything as everyone else in her class. Which, by the way, the other kids who DIDN'T have an IEP couldn't finish the homework even if they stayed up until 4 am. My mom and I combined staying up really late, didn't get all the work done. That was the worst year I can remember. I don't have to sort skittles or count the number times I blink, but my OCD manifests in it's own, many, ways. For example, when I eat snacks like goldfish or chips, I eat in twos. If it is an odd number, I sometimes give it away or I'll break it in half and pretend it was two. When I'm playing chess, the pieces have to be in the center of the square, and the pieces I took from the other player must be in straight line in the order that I took them. When I spin around, I spin the other way the same amount of time. If I start to sing a lyric to a song, I have to finish it, even if it's in head, and if I don't know the rest of the lyric, I still have to finish the tune. Unless you have been diagnosed with OCD, you don't know how much this affects my everyday life. I hate it, but I feel worse if I don't and it will bother me until I fix it. It's not severe life crippling or anything like that but the sheer number of things that I do because of my OCD is ridiculous. I seem too find myself doing them more often than I am not, they are just mostly small ones. There have been so many since I was first diagnosed, it's crazy and very few of them are what people who don't know much about OCD think OCD is.
sorry I didn't read all of it
haha
Whats with all these spaced out zubhuuman comments I have ocd too though
Like actual ocd and was diagnosed when I was 10 around a lot of my life is dedicated to deciding which way to go around an object how many turns to make how much to tap certain things in succession and what to say in perfectly illogical impulses tied to my entire life breaking down into infinite hell every day every minute
Don't worry I also suffer from OCD, I'm in the Checkers category and it's extremely embarrassing. Trying to go out with your friends and repeating the same weird pattern of checking everytime. I even have a weird set phrase to help ease my OCD (please don't laugh lol)
"The doors/boiler/blabla is closed. Click click, one two pew *fake gun*
ik i dont have ocd but i can relate to: When I spin around, I spin the other way the same amount of time. If I start to sing a lyric to a song, I have to finish it, even if it's in head, and if I don't know the rest of the lyric, I still have to finish the tune.
“Omg I’m like so obsessive compulsive disorder”
This doesn’t even make sense 😂
It's not even grammatically correct
I’m so depression 😫
Almost everybody at my school used to say, "Omigosh! I need to get clean! I am so organized. I am sooooo OCD."
Lmfao, I remember I had this friend who said she had "depression notes" from when she was 11 and they were just cursive sentences on paper saying things like "do you know what it's like to be in love?" And when I asked if she has ever been to a therapist or psychiatrist, she legit asked me what that was lmao
@@cannicole question: were they white?
I have OCD and when people around me say "I am so clean I have OCD" I get so mad because they say it like it's funny but it's not.
I have OCD and I don't really care if they say that, but I will try to make them understand more on it.
Lilly's Conspiracies Stop being such a sensitive brat and ignore it?
Lilly's Conspiracies That's what you come off as, and you're wrong when you tell me I probably have a mental illness.
I don't care if you have OCD!!
You are the same as very body else!
Mia C ik right I have OCD when people say that I want to kill them
I have OCD and I hate when people fake it. For example I must enter every room with my right foot, Must touch most things 5 times, I must not wear too much black etc. I know these are just stupid thoughts but my idiot of a brain tells me if you dont do it, you will get injured, or you will lose all your friends or something bad will happen. Even though i know it wont. I can also get the urge to injure or in extreme cases, kill loved one or stranger. Saying "I'm so OCD" because you like being tidy is like saying "I'm so lung cancer" because you just coughed.
Matthew Corr the right foot concept is exactly what I have. Except it also works with my right hand. For example putting my phone on the table or something HAS to be done with my right hand otherwise I'd get this terrible anxious feeling that would dwell onto me until I give in.
I'm a lot like you with the entering a room with your right foot thing, I do that often, and if I'm walking with my friends, or anyone, I'll try and keep my steps the same place, and same look as them, (I know it seems stupid)but it's true. and I know u said it's not only about organization, but I NEED everything perfectly alighned or organized. at school, I can't even work if my desk is a mess.
Thanks for reading. 😊
Matthew Corr
(i have long nails-*this is important*)
Every time i board an airplane i have to almost *always* sit at the window seat on the *left* of the plane but, one day my cousin, aunt and i were going to Florida when i got the window seat. I was fairly happy of course but my cousin complained how it wasn't fair as i didn't give her barbecue chips before we boarded. I thought she sounded ridiculous. I slept for an hour and when waking up, suddenly having the urge to pee badly-(TMI Vivs..) So i got up from my seat, placing my *jacket, phone and chips* on the seat. GUESS WHAT. WHEN I CAME BACK MY COUSIN WAS IN MY SEAT EATING *MY* BARBECUE CHIPS MAKING STAINS ON MY *NEW WHITE* JACKET I HAS JUST BOUGHT-(that jacket was very expensive💰) and i ran over to her slapping her and screaming. My nails were like wolverines as i didn't cut them the day before, so i scratched her face as she was embarrassed and started crying. My aunt was looking straight at me in the eye and that day i was so angry i wanted to murder my cousin.
I totally relate. Stay strong❤
ooooohhh my goood! I _hate_ when people say " That makes me OCD" or something like that! Dude! It's not like a cold! It's a disorder!
"the thing im looking at isnt symmetrical so im ocd"
Rice Kirbo every kid in my class ever
Rice Kirbo when that happens its more of a "EXTREME PISS" moment rather than ocd.
Rice Kirbo THAT IS ME! If something isn't symmetrical, I always have to make it symmetrical.
Kairo 09 he's being sarcastic, you don't have ocd
ExAlt NoVa oh...
but I still get mad with anything unsymmetrical. I also get the same image of my friend over and over and I go CRAZY! This normally lasts 1+ hours.
I’m sending this to all the people that cleaned their room ONCE without being told and now think that they have ocd
i dOn'T cleAn mY roOm becAusE iT's aLwayS cLeaN
I've been diagnosed with OCD myself, and it's not about being clean with everyone who has OCD. For me, I have the urge to do something, if I don't I get anxiety. My therapist told me it's called the "disappearing just right feeling," where I feel the need to either touch or do something a certain amount of times in order to make me feel satisfied, if I don't I feel anxious.
that happens to me. i get a real bad urge to do simple tasks for example i might get a big urge to say something. however i dont have ocd since it comes and goes for me
Angelfun AJ
No, just fucking stop!
Sal Ferginson i think i have ocd because i realy cant let go of my thoughts when i do something i have to count it and so its in right order
Sal Ferginson I think that's attributed to an obsessive personality, it's stated in the DSM-5, I've had OCD tendencies before and I've also been so obsessed with something that I've had dreams about it
I'm diagnosed with it too. I once overheard my old boss telling my coworker she didn't think I had OCD because I'm messy. What she didn't realize (among other things) is that everything that I used throughout the day went in a certain spot on my desk so I knew exactly where everything was.
Very true and thanks for informing. I have severe life crippling OCD myself and I see people incorrectly refer to OCD all the time. That said.. anyone who is uptight enough to get angry at someone for doing something as innocent as misuse the word OCD needs to chill the heck out. That goes for innocent jokes too. When Target made that OCD (Obsessive Christmas Disorder) shirt and everyone blew up I face palmed so hard. We need more jokes, less people taking things so seriously, because one thing I know for sure is my OCD is the most tame when I'm happy and laughing. Last thing an OCD sufferer needs is more people complaining about something, creating a sheep mentality, and teaching people to be uptight. It honestly sickens me how easy it is to offend people these days..
I also suffer from OCD, and no I won't lighten up. Not being taken seriously is a real problem for me, and jokes from regular people do nothing to help. It hurts when you open up to someone about your condition and they just think you're joking about being tidy, clean, or perfectionist.
Dity People not taking it seriously is a completely different issue that I do agree with you on. However, I don't believe people making the innocent mistake of using it incorrectly and/or making light of it for the sake of comedy (the intent of comedy is almost always to make people happy) has any effect on it. It's all about intentions. It's pretty clear when someone doesn't mean well. In those cases you have all right to get offended but if the intention isn't to hurt anyone, why get offended? I see nothing wrong with informing these people, but blowing up on someone who is simply making an innocent remark isn't helping anyone.
Voltres Because I have multiple channels with over 100k subs.
Voltres It doesn't happen automatically but yeah I probably wouldn't have the check if I didn't have channels with over 100k. Probably also has to do with winning NextUp and being on TV a few times.
DJ Monopoli Ok.
Thank God this video speaks of the truth. I don't know why OCD is only portrayed as being a clean freak, that's like only one obsession out of the millions of other super specific and trivial obsessions. Hell I'm not even a clean freak, my bedroom is a clusterfuck, but hey at least being a clean freak has its benefits. All the obsessions and compulsions that I perform are pretty much meaningless and extremely trivial.
I have OCD anxeity and I'm scared of hurting people, I always shake whenever I over think about the thoughts and I always check how I'm acting or feeling witch is a bad habit for anxiety.
This happened to me too, several times a day If one arm gets bumped by something, I have to bump the other arm with another thing. My room is always a disaster and it’s confusing
i have OCD and it makes me uncomfort to not check my bathroom x999999999 times
DOGE™ yeah ain’t that the truth I wish people wouldn’t treat it like it’s funny some people can’t even leave the house
same i have obsessions over words ppl say and how i have to close doors . one way i cope with it is running
I am a perfectionist. People say I have OCD!! I don’t! I explain on and on but..it never works.
That’s messed up
THANK U FOR UNDERSTANDING THAT U DONT. my coworker was a perfectionist and dead set on “having ocd” (I HAVE IT) even though she doesn’t even get intrusive thoughts??? so annoying
OCD is literally hell. I was diagnosed with it when i was 5/6 years old and I'm currently 15 (almost 16) and everyday is a struggle. It's not just about keeping things tidy and perfect, it's waaaaay more than that, and i wish people would understand that.
WWE Lilith
You need some WEED
Teresa Taco Seriously unhelpful. Don't dispense medical advice unless you're the person's doctor. And don't act like this is something that can be overcome easily by taking a few puffs on a joint.
Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Joshua Gustaf Pretty sure someone who was diagnosed at such a young age already has a psychiatrist and other professionals working with them to try and manage the OCD. And definitely doesn't need the input of people on the internet to treat it.
Well, I just gave an advice because I have that too. CBT isn't a cure but it can help you to learn to control it :)
I actually have ocd.. It's so frustrating with anxiety. They say think happy, EVEN THOUGH MY NIGHTMARES AND SADNESS APPEARS IN MY HEAD AND I'VE HAD 9 YEARS OF THERAPY IT HURTS :(
Dawn Green yup the nightmares are the same but im not ocd
I have it since I'm only 3 or something like that. I still remember a few years ago I still had to check my word count is an even number in my message before sending it
haven't been diagnosed yet due to Corona, but I'm more recent. consistant intrusive thoughts that make me question everything about myself, keep me from doing what I love, and consistantly make my face feel like it's burning. I want to get diagnosed soon so I could get treatment
Your not alone aaa it's the same with me :(
I have OCD and I hate it
Clock work me too. Just know you’re not alone in this fight.
Uhhhhh well that sucks
Same 😭☹️
Same
Sorry to hear that..🙁🙁
Does anyone cough when they don’t need to, or makes a weird sound over and over again.
Thats a disorder on its own, commonly named "tics"
Yeah, I have Tourette’s Syndrome though, so that’s why I do it
ッBushOnCrack yes
I make animal noises and I'm 16, are those ticks?
It's called tics
I was diagnosed with OCD and Bipolar Disorder In 6th grade along with some symptoms of Schizophrenia. My OCD is the strongest issue I have. My compulsions took up most of my life. I had to stop school because it made me not focus and I failed all my classes. My compulsion were very dangerous like the feeling of always have to be even. I would also wash my hand so much my hands would bleed. I love this video cause it informs people on what OCD actually is and what a struggle it is.
I love in Norway and have OCD. So imagine how it is to wash your hands over and over and over and over again and go outside when it’s freezing cold. The cold makes my hands bleed even more than before
YOU CANT GET DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER IF YOU ARE UNDER 16
Attack On Vore most likely they had some sort of anxiety or an attention disorder that combined with depression/low mood OCD could have caused extreme mood swings.
Attack On Vore now that I do think of it (and read their whole comment) I bet they have Schizoaffective disorder, which is a condition that includes aspects of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder (either major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder). It explains the whole story.
Sorry to hear that my mom has the same combination of problems also maybe it's the meds or even one illness is triggering of something else.... hopefully you are released from all these issues God bless💛💛💛
This has always bothered me. As somebody with a fairly severe case of OCD, when I hear people say that they have OCD because of their tendency to be neat, it drives me nuts. Every night, when I enter my room right before going to bed, I perform a variety of 'rituals.' These rituals take nearly two hours every night. During the day, I always check certain things and perform certain tasks eleven times. That eats up an average of an hour a day. All in all, I'm wasting 12.5% of my life on this stupid disorder. OCD isn't something that's cool having and be thankful you don't have it.
Everything I type also happens to have a multiple of eleven words in it. Trust me, it's not just a lucky coincidence.
same, its a nightmare. i literally have to do the same kind of thing every day like reading the same books, taking a certain amount of steps before i get home, always touching things with my right hand, counting steps, ect. its the worst thing ever.
One thing that really helped me was to just so the opposite of whatever you want to do. So if you're always checking if the light switch is off, turn it on and literally force yourself to deal with it. Or if something has to be closed, leave it open. I did this and although I did have a bit of anxiety and nagging for a bit, it lowered and I felt alot better. I did it a couple days ago btw and it really did helped you should try it. Good luck and remember you're not alone x
puppyk5 I get it too, my friend says she has OCD cause “everything needs to be perfect” I’ve explained to her that’s not OCD and she needs to look it up she then responds with “I don’t care, I have OCD” it makes me so mad
puppyk5 I know that feeling. I have OCD and I can relate to you :) almost cried after reading your comment
Could you do a depression variation of this. to help people understand that "being sad" is not the same thing as "im depressed" to help people understand that it is a really challenging mental illness that affects a lot of people and it is not just "being sad" and it is really wanting to die and harm yourself because you cannot handle things anymore.
Quinn McNamara well being depressed is not the same as full on depression. Full on depression is where you feel it all the time but being depressed is just a mood and thus you'll only feel it once in a while (that's my understanding of it anyway lel)
yes i know what i am trying to say is how in this video he said that people are like "oh im ocd because i like clean things" but thats not really ocd. I meant like if he said the same thing where people are like "oh im just having a bad day im so depressed" vs actually being depressed they are two very different things.
Well you can be depressed without having depression
Feeling depressed is a mood and depression is a legitimate problem. But yeah I agree there needs to be a video on that bc some people don't understand that
Quinn McNamara Like a video between feeling depressed (as in the emotion) and having actual depression (mental condition).
I got diagnosed with OCD when I was 8. And I hate it when people say I am so OCD, or I am so Autism, or I am so Anxiety. It annoys me so much. Because it is grammar, it is not I am so OCD, etc it is I have OCD, etc. I also think if people doesn’t even know what something means and say they have it, that makes me annoyed also.
I haven't been diagnosed I think but I am sure I have at leas a mild case. It can be annoying

Thank you! OMG my friends have been saying that ocd is just people having everything neat but it’s not! I have intrusive thoughts ocd and I haven’t told them and I’m not planing to
Well if you can at least inform them on what it really is, it'd be better for everyone. It wouldn't hurt to be knowledgeable in different topics and not sound ignorant to the rest of the world 😊 I'm sorry you suffer too. It sucks a lot
This comment may be late but oh my God... Somebody just accused me of lying about my OCD diagnosis and that there's "no such thing as Intrusive Thoughts OCD" and their friend is a Psychiatrist. Oh my God I relate to this so much I thought I was crazy and actually lying
Mabey you can show them a video like this help them understand and then tell theme
I don't have OCD (hopefully) but I still get annoyed when someone misuses the term.
It's not as bad when they say "That's not OCD" though.
I'm so OCD cause this isn't lined up perfectly!!!!!1!1!!1!1
I'm so OCD I have to put the volume on even numbers
Im so OCD and have to wash my hands.
i am sooooooo ocd because i make sure every single thing i own is 100000% clean
Rainbow Pie Haha, yeah. I have the hand washing compulsion and I can’t stand when people who say they have OCD because they wash their hands a lot. My hands are falling apart, bleeding constantly, and just completely raw.
Having OCD myself , it truly does piss me off when people just say they have OCD when all they're doing is tidying up. I, and probably everyone else who has it, would really like people to see this video before saying that they have OCD when they pick up a wrapper and throw it away.
I'm the exact same way dude. A lot of my friends just don't always seem to get what it's like to have OCD.
Bhuvanesh Kodem I had it too but now I am really fine I had hcod tocd and two more I regularly practice meditation and now I know if something gonna happen it's not in my control and really saying try to show your mind that compulsion are not important and boom!! u out. it will take time but u will be fine I know, have dreams to chase best of luck.😉
Bhuvanesh Kodem I hate it even more when people say, "I'm so OCD." You cannot BE a mental disorder, but you can HAVE one.
And to anyone who thinks I'm self-diagnosed, trust me, I understand it's not fun, I was counting (doing a pattern/number compulsion thing with my hands) while watching this.
Bhuvanesh Kodem I can be obsessive and sometimes a bit compulsive but I don't have the disorder. I feel bad for you guys that have it. I cannot even begin to say how much. I have watched and seen enough to know how bad the compulsions get and watched a girl shake until it seemed her teeth would rattle trying not to give in. It is hard to watch and I know even harder to live with. I hope those of you who have it find a treatment that helps you be able to function again.
Cherokee Rose Rioux Thanks :) I've actually had it as far back as I have memories, so really it's just a part of everyday, normal life for me. But luckily I have been blessed with the ability to receive treatment
me with ocd watching this like: “am i faking it?”
my therapist in the corner: NOOO- YOU- UGH!
Literally me rn, like UFHHRHDHRJ
The imposter syndrome is real, I feel you
I hate it when people say they have OCD.
mac Addictions but what if they actually have OCD?
Adam taleb but what if the majority is just lying?
Adam taleb no I mean when people who really don't have it but they pretend
I'm pretty sure I have OCD. Cuz I done everything that was in the beginning of the video. I'm a fucking neat freak and I can't stop organizing my stuff
+SangoProductions213 my friend says "OH MY GOOOD MY OCD" and stuff like that, but gets very angry when someone says something like that about depression or suicide lol.
Thank you for making this video, I plan on sharing this will all of my friends. You explained this perfectly. Since I was 10, I struggled with OCD. I have been properly diagnosed, and I would have to take five pills a day. My mind was always telling me to do things that I did not want to do, like put my socks on four times, turn off the lights 12 times each night..etc. I am now 16 and very happy, thanks to medicine and therapy, I can now live a normal life. :)
you are so good at lying!
What medication do you take? Just curious
ME TOO, but i was diagnosed when i was around 6, and still suffer XD
Panic At The Disco!Crybabies this is BTS are you sure?
MR.KKIP you cared enough to comment
Perfectionist ... OCD
There’s a difference look it up
Exactly
I REALLY like things to be organized and perfectly aligned, but I don't have OCD. I actually think about thing for about 2 minutes before I can fully let the thought go, which is pretty strange to me.
you’re just an over thinker, a person with OCD takes more time than 2 minutes :P
I do the same thing too
If you enjoy that and don't repeat it against your rational thinking, then it's completely ok.
I had OCD, and that's very creepy
melanies crybaby I know I’m late but, a lot of people have the conditions for OCD. But they don’t actually have it. I believe that OCD is diagnosed by a doctor (As in saying that you actually have OCD.) If they had OCD, they would HAVE to make sure that everything is perfect. And I’m the same. I would rather have everything perfect, but I don’t have any OCD whatsoever. But to sum it up, I don’t have OCD, they don’t have OCD.
You might just be a perfectionist. Or maybe your ocd is just starting, cuz it usually starts around the age of 20.
You haven’t had OCD unless you’ve stood in a door way in the same spot for an hour touching the handle or wall trying to get the right feel before you can move on with your day. You’ll get the perfect feel with your hand and then a bit of your clothing will touch your right foot or arm or something and you’ll have to start again otherwise you’ll get bad luck if you walk away without the right feel.
It’s been 10 years please end my suffering
I hope they make a medication for OCD its torture being extremely tired but having to stay in the bathroom washing my hands and if I touch something feel is dirty I have to wash again
dude, i had this for so long. i went to a physiologist and he helped me so much with it. i haven't had to do that to a door handle for like a month, it really helps.
untamed gamer my mother is developing a drug that may go into patients within a year so I am very hopeful. It would also be able to act as an anti depressant but would be focused on ocd
I have an obsession with the arches of my feet and the palms of my hands and I hate when I am trying to walk but I step on something with the wrong part of my foot and it will take me like at least ten minutes to correct it if I do everything right and then I’m late and it sucks especially when I keep messing up
untamed gamer
I have that thing but on a muuuuch lower tone and it doesn't affect me a lot. Eg: I'll get a yogurt and they'll both be the same, but I'll be attached to the spoon and give my brother the other one.. Lol
As someone with doctor diagnosed OCD it’s so sad to hear people say “ omg my ruler isn’t straight I’m so ocd” and they wouldn’t know what it’s like . I spend hours doing tasks I don’t want to do but for some reason I feel I have to and half the time I’m crying during those
SOOOO, I was explaining to my friend about my severe OCD and how it ruins my life, and how I hate it,
And HIS friend walks up and straight up says,
"That's not OCD."
Me: "excuse me, but do you have OCD?" I ask quietly.
HIM:"um. No."
Me
"THEN YOU HAVE NOO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!
PitoPat what's your symptoms?
La Flame DO YOU EVEN READ THE ENTIRE COMMENT? LIKE YOU EXPECT TO KNOW “THE” SYMPTOMS AND BE LIKE THE DUMB PERSON YOU ARE, “whats your symptoms even though Im speaking through the Internet.” Like seriously, do you expect them to respond? What if they have a different time zone, different state, or a different elementary/middle/high school schedule? Like boi, you be like “whats your symptoms” AND YOU FORGOT THEN LIKE THIS, “Whats your symptoms *then*” Go get a life, and don’t expect the commenter to comment back even if the thread is dead. Go get a life.
PitoPat you didn't have to yell at your friend lol. just a polite correction probably would have sufficed.
My symptoms are counting (arithmomania) constant thinking (obsessive thinking disorder) and repeating actions (pretty much arithmomania)
PitoPat my friends do that with my extreme hypercondra. I hate when people say "stop worrying" im like you have no way to actually know what I am going through it really po's me
I can't stand it when anyone refers to a mental illness and says they're ADHD or OCD or have panic attacks or anxiety when they just are going through regular situations where most people would feel the same way. Just because you are temporarily anxious about a test or something, you do not have an anxiety disorder. I saw a comment earlier of someone saying if you aren't diagnosed you don't actually have the disorder, and I'd have to respectfully disagree. Many people live with disorders for years but are afraid to open up about it and talk to someone because they are embarrassed... like me. Contamination OCD is my issue. For me, there are basically two categories, the "outside world" filled with germs and things that are contaminated, and the safe things, or things that I keep clean and will not let anyone touch. Public places are my enemy. I will not touch door handles unless I have a coat on, which I will use the sleeve then fold it so I won't accidentally touch it, then wash it immediately after getting home. My clothes I wear outside in public have to be changed before I sit on my furniture at home and my bed. If my bare skin touches anything out in public which I consider dirty, I'm going to head to the bathroom and scrub it off with some soap and water. Hotels are also very big trigger. The beds... The only time I touch the actual bed is to put my sheets I brought from home and my comforter and pillow on top of the hotel's. I scrub my hands right after, of course because if I don't, I'll be thinking about it up until the time when I get to wash my hands. Tissues and my best friend in hotels especially, although they are always something I couldn't live without. Need to touch the door handle, faucet, remote controller? Just use the tissues. I bring my own towels, because the hotels towels have been used by countless amounts of people. Certain things I have like my phone for example, will be dirty due to being outside with me, but I will scrub the case and the screen with alcohol and soap and water as soon as I get home. It's a long list of things, but there are many more. For me, it's a constant embarrassment and takes so much time and energy out of me to performer these rituals, but my mind can't be at peace if I don't do these things because I'm constantly worrying an obsessing over contamination. I'd appreciate if any of you experience the same struggles, go comment below and tell me how they affect your lives.
(I made this comment earlier but copy pasted it here then edited it a bit)
Also I'm incredibly sorry in advance if this falls under the "Saying they have OCD when they just go through normal situations." category.
I don't really have much of a problem anymore but I used to have (what I assume to be a mild case, I was never diagnosed so I guess I'll never know) of OCD when I was a real little kid. I would have to line up all of my toys, including the GI Joe toys in such a way that they would all be perfectly balanced and standing. For a birthday once I got a bunch of hot wheels and I had to open every single package and perfectly line the cars on the floor before moving to the next one. I recall moving them all to a desk I had and lining them up, then realigning them a lot. I probably realigned them all at least a hundred times in total (At least). I also had to keep my room cleaned 100% of the time. If I wasn't able to do any of these things I would freak. The only reason I don't have it now is that my mom stopped allowing me to indulge these obsessions and the resulting compulsions. I don't recall what the obsession or obsessions were but I still remember the compulsions. One thing that I can remember much better is that up until a couple years ago I had to ask to do things or have something at least 3 or 4 times, and sometimes much more, before I would do them. And only then with great anxiety. My fear was that I had only imagined that I had asked and I would get yelled at. To this day I don't know why I cared about getting yelled at so much and over such trivial things. Like getting a pop cycle or playing on a game console. I'm not sure if these things were normal or not. I just know my siblings didn't share these behaviors. I honestly couldn't imagine still having these problems. I certainly do feel for whoever has to deal with similar compulsions.
Agreed. I was diagnosed with OCD and people thought it was funny. A person I know claims she has panic attacks when she has never had one OR has anxiety. My best friend actually has anxiety and we get so annoyed when she starts making things up
Everyone forgets autisim
Sarah bruh is there a shorter version?
Sarah thanks for sharing :) I have OCD dermatillomania - I compulsively pick at perceived contamination in my skin- and have sores BC of it- since third grade. It takes hours a day. Causes some low level anxiety and depression too... I have some help with non prescription supplements and herbs to help calm me, St. John's Wort to help with depression, Inositol to help with anxiety/depression, NAC to help with OCD. Any calming Herbs can help too, like camomile, lavender, or stronger herbs like valerian or California poppy in tincture or tea. I also struggling with smoking addiction, but I'm transitioning away from it with the help of less/non psychoactive CBD - whereas previously I have been self medicating with cannabis that has THC and these days it has too much THC if you ask me- I don't want to be "high" all the time- I just need relief from what I suffer from. So on TOP of the stigma of mental disorders, AND people misappropriating them! :P I have also been very frustrated with the stigma against cannabis users or patients :P I'm not an idiot just BC I'm a "stoner" 😒🙄 and that's not my identity or entirety of me as a person either. The disrespect can be hurtful sometimes, but I try to let it go and let that shit and other peoples judgments slide.
i'm not formally diagnosed with ocd, and chances are i probably don't have it either, but after watching this video and reading several comments i found myself strangely relating to some of the scenarios described. of course, my level of particularity is much less severe than a lot of other people's, but i do find myself not being able to concentrate on a video we are watching in class if there is a little bit of ink left on the whiteboard, and i have to eat a certain number of things, and when i dip foods into things like hummus it has to be a very particular amount depending on the size of the food, and i really particularly like things to be centred, and i have to read over my writing tens of times to make sure i have no spelling or grammatical mistakes (by the way, this message is all lowercase on purpose), every morning before leaving i have to check that all of the outside doors are locked at least three times (which, admittedly, isn't much compared to how much other people have to), among other things. it seems small in comparison to others, but i think it's there. i have a suspicion that these things that i have to do may be a result of the combination of my adhd stims and my autistic obsessions, but i don't know for sure.
of course immediately after posting this comment the video refreshes and shows me a comment i made a year ago saying almost exactly the same thing except slightly more condensed and with proper punctuation.
omg same
I’m not formally diagnosed either, but I’ve always had ocd- recently I read up on ocd and turns I have been exhibiting symptoms all my life. I have been diagnosed with aspergers, though and apparently ocd is common in people with aspergers
My OCD has other problems, but at the moment, it’s your grammar that is really triggering it. Pls stoppppp!
@@juliannaharder885 that's not ocd. That perfectionism
As someone with OCD, thanks! This explains it so much better than I ever could've and it's nice to know that a lot of people are receiving this message :)
One time when I watched life noggin video about time travelling its our topic in science class, my teacher ask to me"do you think we can travel faster than light?" And I answer "Sir, if we travel faster, time will go slower, and if we travel in a speed of light time will stop" my teacher said "YES!" and I question my teacher "BUT! What if we travel faster than the speed of light will that make time backward?" my teacher reaction was "o.O...". Thanks Life Noggin!
Kristian PH what a nerd
who realized that in min 1:28 the step-counter goes from 190 to 192 in one step
240hz yup
240hz yeah I wasn't even paying attention to that but your right
240hz I seen it and I died a little inside
Alltechman1094 you're
240hz What of he did it on purpose
I have OCD and it's literal hell. Before I started taking medication for it, I couldn't let something happen to only one of my limbs. If my right hand touched something, my left hand had to as well. Not only that but they would have to touch it an even number of times, at the same time, and with the same force, in the same way. If I got shot in one leg, I'd probably have a panic attack. My medication has helped me a lot, but if you remind me of it I do it again.
Same!!! Its so annoying... My family say its not OCD because if it is then I would keep my things clean.
When I was growing up, I was under a high stress situation for most of my childhood. If I touched one side of a door, I would have to touch the other in the same place but on the opposite side, same with the edge of a wall. I used to get a consequence from my stepmom Everytime I did it, too bad she couldn't understand what I was going through. I eventually grew out of it because I went on an ADHD medication known as Vyvanse which helped.
xAqUaxMaTiCx Omg... That would've been terrible..
Josh Stretch same
Wait, is that OCD? I do that literally all the time, it kills me when one of my hand/leg touches something and the other one doesn't. I also comb down my arm hair like crazy, so I don't know if that counts either. I'm still kind of young, so I hope I'll grow out of these behaviors like Josh did.
My grandma is always counting her clothing before she puts them to dry as well as every single dish or cup she washes. She also washes her hands like every 5 minutes and makes sure the doors are locked as well as the stove is turned off like 10 times before she can go to bed. We’ve started to think she may have OCD but she doesn’t wanna get it checked out so...
I know I don't have OCD, however, I do have Asperger's syndrome (on the spectrum of Autism), but, since it only affects social skills, I am higher functioning than some of my peers with true autism. Could you please do a video on Autism? It could be a good way to clear up some of the insults that are thrown around, and thank you for reading this.
DemonGaming I have Asperger's syndrome and I'm sure I have OCD
DemonGaming I have aspergers aswell, and people always say I'm the smartest in the class, or in the school. I always say that my brain just works differently than theirs, that the only way to truly get smarter is through practice and hard work.
Don't take those insults to heart. Its like calling someone gay. No hatred to gays, just a dumb insult. I agree it's kind of a stupid thing to say, but very few people call someone autistic and have something against autistic people.
yes
we need a video on autism
because i am offensive and i find autism insults autistic
DemonGaming, I agree.
Like all students in my classes self diagnosis then selves with ADHD or OCD. Like a paper isn't alliended during class,and they will say "Omg fix that I have OCD (giveeeeeee me attentionnnn)"
Showery Comments like your's irritate me significantly more than what you're complaining about.
O.C.D Is a nightmare you have to have everything perfect or you feel like your going to die flicking a light switch for hours haveing to repeat someting over over and if you get it wrong it feel's like your dog died -my friend he doesn't want his name online
harman dhaliwal ikr I have it and it attacks me at night
harman dhaliwal Exactly dude, imagine I have to repeat typing 'a' letter multiple times until I can freely send a message
harman dhaliwal yeah...
Feel you, when I'm on my phone for example I always need to touch it everywhere. Or when I type, I always need to touch every single letter on the keyboard twice. When I'm outside I always need to step on all the cracks an when people touch me they have to touch my on the opposite side of my body too It is pretty annoying, and all of my friends think I'm crazy or overly sensitive or something xD
Tranier Red it's not everything being perfect smh oh and if it's not diagnosed then you don't have it or those behaviors are just you being you 😑
I'm one of the messiest people you'll ever meet, but my mental patterns, compulsions and urges speak volumes. So yeah just because someone is 'neat' definitely does not mean they have OCD
I have OCD, diagnosed when I was 6 and I'm the same, I wouldn't consider myself completely sloppy but I'm definitely not a clean freak, I do have to say that if me and my boyfriend didn't live together then my place would probably be more messy and disorganized than it currently is. He likes to stay clean, not clean freak clean but he likes a tidy house, so I do my best to keep it tidy cause I try to keep him happy, and I always worry he will leave me for some reason or another (that is OCD and anxiety cause I constantly over worry about it). I feel if I don't keep the house clean enough he will become unhappy and leave me. Everyone that thinks they have OCD think it is just about being a clean freak and it isn't. The thoughts I have about if I don't do something then my bf will leave me is anxiety and the thoughts OCD creates, not just a quirk, plus many other compulsions I have having to do other things. Number is a big one for me, and checking.
Same like my room right now is looking horrendous and I have OCD.
I legit have OCD and will wash my hands til they crack and bleed. I hide them sometimes because I don't want anyone to see. Ocd is a real pain in the ass and I absolutely hate it when people without OCD claim they do just because they like to clean or something!
Simon Liang Didn't knew washing your hands could open a cut
Leafyishere Lost Chin If you wash your hands as long and often as us OCD sufferers, then your skin will dry out to the point that it'll crack and bleed.
You are not alone...
+Goku Supersaiyan Its not that easy.As you hopefully know,its sadly out of their control.
Also,best of luck to you simon.I have a few friends with ocd,and i think i know how it feels.
+Goku Supersaiyan Bruh, I wish it was that easy. But unfortunately it's outta my control. As explained in the video, our brains function differently than those without OCD. You don't tell someone who has depression to just get happy. It doesn't work that way.
You should do a bipolar disorder one because so many people I know say i can be a bit bipolar at times like I suffer with bipolar disorder and I hate when people say it
Ash Downs As a person with Bipolar II, OCD, ADHD, and ASD (Aspergers), I have to agree. It gets really annoying seeing the disorders thrown around carelessly while I'm over here taking four pills a day (two of which I take twice) and still ruining relationships.
Noxaura Cille exactly I get really annoyed with it I also suffer with ADHD and one of friends sent she has bipolar just because she got angry it's just annoying
Ash Downs ssc
Ash Downs Exactly. My grandmother, mother and I all have bipolar disorder, and it is really irritating to hear people joke that their girlfriend is "so bipolar" or that they're bipolar themselves like it's just about being moody.
Tbh im so temped to anyone who says “it satisfies my OCD” (when they are mentioning something satisfying) to pull out a frickn lecture on OCD and start having a speech on the disouthat literally haunts me like bruh humans!!!!!!!
I lose respect for a celebrity when they fix something small and are like “ my OCD was getting to me “ like bruh the whole point of OCD is it gets to you
Liam Ryan SAME
Or "my OCD is rising"
@@Jenny-kg6jh oo that boils my blood
@@xmoonilyx2977 do you surely know that person x isn't diagnosed? If they show one small physical compulsive symptom, it doesn't mean that he/she does NOT have any other mental symptoms too, hence at the end, you DON'T probably know if they actually have OCD. I'm honestly a bit tempted to anyone who cries like this when they don't know all, probably.
OCD is freaking hell a good portion of the time. It's tied in with my Asperger's Syndrome I believe? (I have both diagnosis.)
I tend to start checking things in a particular order (safety), amongst others.
Omfg you do too?? Finally someone like me. I have a routine that I HAVE TO carry out or I won't rest ( Don't laugh lol)
"The door/boiler/bla is closed , click click, one two, pew *points fake gun*, *nods* "

louise Ikr there's these 2 annoying, popular, spoiled girls in my class and I've heard them say that they have "ocd" just because they want to shake the bubbles out of their water bottle, turn the chess pieces forward, etc. They literally treat it as if it's something they want to get and be proud of, it's so fckin annoying.
I had a kid in my class who said he had OCD because there were switches in the class and he would always make sure they're both on at the same time.
+Phancrabble oh my gosh, i know exactly what you're talking about - like they think OCD is some “trend” or something “cool” that anyone can have :((( i totally agree.
louise I agree
This video made me feel a lot more relaxed. I’ve had OCD my whole life but just recently I’ve started to suffer with both existential OCD and suicidal OCD. As a kid, I dealt with HOCD and physical compulsions, but hear me when I say this, existential OCD is a nightmare. Because you will never truly receive any answers as to why you exist, or what “true reality” is. I’m slowly getting better but it’s going to take a while for me to fully get back to normal daily life. Thanks for this video. Very insightful and brings awareness to an issue that needs to be spoken about more.
I have OCD and my friends really need to know this! i get so angry when they say they have OCD when they dont know the pain i go through everyday. I personally go to a psychologist who helps me alot.
dude, even though I don't have it, it gets on my nerves when people say that they have it, along with every other freaking disorder in the book, when they really don't.

I am one of the 2% and my OCD effects my grades. When I'm saying a speech or writing an exam I always think of thoughts I do not want. Therefore when I write in an exam i have to cross or rub it out and redo the line. When I say a speech OCD slows me down. This is just a mere example of how it impacts my life. OCD is not all bad, it's mostly bad but not all bad, OCD also helps think more critically about things and find solutions to problems. However, I must say I wish it was never there.
Red Orange I have ADHD and OCD and when I play dodgeball I HAVE to check and check and check and if I see a ball my ADHD kicks in and I twitch away and I get a sort of hyperawareness

Invaderxan games for what?
That happens to me I would think that if I wrote a word that way that something bad will happen and erase and rewrite it. I would do it so many ch that my handwriting was almost unreadable
I actually relate to this... I honestly believe I have OCD and it can really stink. I'm compulsive beyond just cleanliness
Nora Porter still. Just don’t self-diagnose
Could you do the same thing, but with anxiety? At my school, everyone is like "oh, I think I have anxiety because I'm really nervous about this test" or something like that, but they don't understand it's a scary and horrible disorder.
P.S. I am diagnosed with OCD as well😓
Depression, anxiety, and OCD are the most overused terms that people like to throw around at my school.
I always felt like smacking the people who say "Omg, I'm so ocd. XDDD" without even knowing what it is.
This video is great for people that claim they have OCD and they really do not fucking have it. It gets really annoying when my friend says it.

Zekey moomoo but theres nothing wrong with this channel. why are there haters?
Approx Gaming They don't want to accept reality.
Approx Gaming Because people are flawed. There doesn't need to be anything wrong, some people may have disliked being told they don't have ocd.
There's literally 75 dislikes to 10,309 likes why do people still complain
I don’t know if this counts as minor ocd: When I was around age 9-10, I washed my hands constantly. After the bathroom I washed my hands around 3 times. I considered some things cleaner than others so if I was on my computer and touched something like the wall or a mug, I would wash my hands. Luckily, that stopped when I turned 11.
Not really, just a bit of a clean freak, especially since it stopped.
I’ve started the same thing you have about the time that I first entered 5th grade. (I am still in 5th grade, so it hasn’t been happening for a long time yet)
Samee but mine stopped when I was 15 or something
I'm 10 and I do that 😳
@@fluxfakiey8342 Its fine if you just like being clean, its not fine that if you not do it you think you will die or something horrible will happen
I'm not tryna seek attention or anything but I'm really worried about me having OCD. I have to count the steps I'm walking, and have to count the number of breaths I take, which means I end up not being able to breathe. I have to keep on pausing and playing a video continuasly until I get the amount a want. If I touch something and walk, I have to go and touch it like 9 times more being it has to be in the ten times tables. I just can't help it. Idk if it is OCD but it always takes over me and there is nothing I can do to control it.
Areebah Hi so I have OCD, and I will attempt to answer your question. OCD is more than just performing compulsions, it's about the relationship between having a thought and performing a compulsion. Generally speaking most people with OCD have a relationship with their thoughts that means they have a bad thought and then preform a compulsion to ease the pain of that thought. The classic example is thinking "someone is going to break into my house" and then performing the compulsion to check if you locked your doors.
If you're concerned about having OCD then you should go see a therapist or psychiatrist to be evaluated. They're the only people who can truly diagnose you and the only people who can truly help you if you do.
All I can say is that I hope you see someone and if you are diagnosed that you know that it'll be okay. I have severe OCD and some pretty awful obsessions and compulsions, but I'm a happy person and am achieving a lot in my life.
It's a possibility, talk to your doctor about it. I'm not saying share it with the world or anything, but you need to tell someone who would know about this sort of issue so that they can help you out.
It is OCD I have it too and it's horrible
You probably have OCD xD
I can't believe it. Someone who has the same type of OCD I have... I always have to count a specific think I do and I need it to be 10, 20, 30, etc. I'm literally moving my toes until I reach ten as I type this comment.
Sometimes I have to redo something over and over before going to bed and I count how many times I do it.
IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN
But actually I do count my steps a lot and try to match my steps with other people. Some people look at me weird if I like stop to like up
Zane Is A Dog awww I understand if I were one of them and I saw ppl looking at u weirdly I would say "LEAVE HIM/HER ALONE DONT LOOK AT THEM LIKE THAT!"
Zane Is A Dog when I'm on the street i have to walk inside all the squares and don't fking know why but I think that each of my legs have points, and if one leg has less points than the other I try to compensate. it's really weird

Yeah I agree it's bullshit everyone "claims" to have it
(but i suffer from it, and was diagnosed so i especially hate it when people just assume they have it, it's a fucking nightmare)
I totally agree. I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 5/6 and have been taking pills for it ever since. I hate it when people think OCD isn't a big deal, even though I struggle with panic attacks too often.
Ik, it's ridiclious, and here's the math to prove it. If life noggin is correct about 2% having OCD, then only 35 million have it because the world population is 7 billion. Right now, there are 677,461 views on this video. Divide that into 35 million you get 51.6. So that means only about 52 of you viewers have OCD.
Yeah but people with OCD probably look OCD up on TH-cam and then see this video and watch it. So the ratio of people with OCD to without it is probably a bit different than expected.
Alexiwings9 me too I left a comment saying how horrible it is for me if u want to know xD ;(
Hanna h yes I have had a little OCD when I was a 1-7 now im 10 and I have it Major because of P.A.N.D.A.S and P.A.N.S and also even C.O.R.E.A. So I understand the panic attacks and others
People would say that their ocd is acting up because the letter is not properly capitalized, while here i am thinking if the socket has been properly unplugged when in fact i know for myself that it took me 80 minutes to check that earlier - and also took some photos on my phone so i can stare at that photo while heading towards work.
I’m a major picture taker too. Ppl talk about being so OCD because they like their shirt ironed meanwhile I’m sleeping 4 hours a night because I’m up crawling around sniffing electrical outlets and counting my prescription pills and recording videos of the inside of the toilet because I’m afraid I’ll drop my cat in there when I close the lid and drown her.
I’d have sought help sooner if OCD wasn’t portrayed as perfectionism. I thought I was going crazy and would be hospitalized.

Oh, bumfuzzle!
You've explained this so well, I was
diagnosed with OCD a couple of years ago and it has been the hardest time of my life. I'm going to show this to everyone who says they have OCD because they are organized. but ocd is a lot more. "flick this light switch 77 times, you can't let go of this object for the rest of the day, you CAN'T pick that ice cream flavor you HAVE to chose that one! That's the kind of stuff that goes on when you have OCD. I have almost passed out countless times and ACTUALLY passed out twice. It's very serious and I understand anything any of you are going through. But recovery is possible, I've since gotten much much better, but you can never fully get rid of it. A good tip is to not call your OCD OCD label it as something stupid so you can feel bigger than it, names such as brain fart, turdledoodleburg, chicken noodle fricken poodle could all work.
Same sometimes when I don't do a compulsion right (like I miscount or something) I have to hold my breath a certain amount of seconds depending on how much I messed up. I once held my breath so long I got dizzy and heard white noise and almost passed out
As a child, I always had a hand washing thing. However, I haven't really been bad with that as I got older. When I do something, I do have to be symmetrical. If I am walking down a street and I walk over cracks, I have to do it in the same kind of pattern, such as one, two with my left leg, then one, two with my right. I'll do it again with one, two starting on my right and then one, two with my left. I'll keep doing that. Sometimes I'll walk over four cracks in a row with my left and four on my right and then four on my right (8 total on right) and then four more on my left. Then whenever I use stairs, I always have to count while going up the stairs. If I sniff something, I do it in a pattern of (1,2,3,4) (3,4,1,2) (3,4,1,2) (1,2,3,4) and weird quirks like that. It's pretty embarrassing when you think someone may see you and may just think you are crazy. I wish my quirk was just being overly tidy like some people who think they have OCD are. I'm the opposite. My house is pretty cluttered. Oh, if I get something to eat like crackers, if I get one, if I touch one, I have to get the one I touched and I keep doing that until I get one without touching the next one.
Before bed, I check my three alarms multiple times to ensure they are set and the sound is all the way up.
1:28 You skipped 191
Marouan Kaddouri well noticed.
Marouan Kaddouri good job... xD
Marouan Kaddouri rip
Jesus! How did you notice that?
that dude just doesn't know how to count
Thank you for making this video! I’m glad you covered OCD and of how it is not the same for everyone. I personally have OCD with germs/getting sick and also the checking multiple times. Although I think I might have had OCD all my life- it mostly showed itself when quarantine hit in 2019. I still wash all the way to my elbows with an unhealthy amount of soap, I take a off my shirt before going in since I don’t want it to touch anything in the bathroom, and when it was the worst- I washed the rim of my pants, and my legs where I sat on the toilet. (Although for that last pants/legs stressor- I was able to stop it 😁) And I did knew it wasn’t normal, which made me feel like I was stupid and insane. And even if I did try not to do those things- my mind makes me feel terribly uncomfortable and guilty if I do not do it just “enough”. And my mind made me reach this feeling of just “enough”; even if my back and neck were hurting from staring down at my hands, even if my arms burned of how dry they were, or even if I did truly wanted to leave and stop washing. But from the help from my therapist and doctor I was prescribed anxiety medication to help me calm down more while I try to lessen my OCD patterns. It’s hard to explain these feelings in some text; but I hope people will eventually understand OCD and how it effects people; and to also stop making OCD jokes to try to make the person with OCD uncomfortable, or just thinking perfectionism is just like OCD.
I actually have OCD, and when my friends say crap like "Look, I sorted my M and M's I'm so OCD" it annoys me so much!
you know you have ocd when you accidentally put an extra space between 2 words in a row in a comment and can't sleep right until you remove the extra space
I had really bad ocd and I always get mad when people say they have ocd because they like a clean house. Thanks life noggin for getting it right!! :)
I Have A Kitchen Sink hello fellow clique fren! I have ocd too
I know right! My class all came out and said they had ocd. I was so mad!
I have 'just right' ocd. Like counting syllables of everyrhing i say, i have 'good' and 'bad' numbers- i hate 4,6,13 but i like 2,5,8,9. I uave to confess to something i did fearing tgey will never know, and touching stuff with my right and left hand the amount of my 'good' numbers.
OMG SAME I HATE THE Number 3, I can only use my right hand for things, it’s my “main hand” I have bad obsessions and I have routines that I hate but if I don’t do it then something bad will happen, also I hate thoughts like if I don’t do this is will die. It frustrates me so much sometimes I get so much anxiety and scream in my mind, but I still don’t know if i have OCD. Do I have it 😞
When I'm in the car, I'll tap my right finger on something and then need to even it out with my left. But then one event happened first so I need to tap with my left and then right. So I'll tap my fingers to an exponentially expanding pattern.
Example:
RLLR LRRL LRRL RLLR
LRRL RLLR RLLR LRRL
LRRL RLLR RLLR LRRL
RLLR LRRL LRRL RLLR.
Eric Schnautz OMG I ALSO DO THAT
lmao,kids in my school always claim that they have ocd...
same, and then they get really angry when I try and explain to them it isn't just a cute little trait.
oh wow I'm so obsessive compulsive disorder lol haha
end me
😂😂
I want to leave the room whenever someone says that, and I sometimes get obsessive rethought and worries about people saying bullshit like that.
*sure*
Hurray I'm the 2%! I was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD around 12 years ago. I've tried medication to relieve the symptoms, but we couldn't find anything that really worked for me. Most meds made me dizzy. I'm a checker and a handwasher, I used to wash my hands until they bled. Sometimes I also get a tic when I'm really anxious
MacGhriogair do you want a cookie?
Sure, I'd love a cookie, but in all honesty I probably wouldn't eat it due to anxiety :P
MacGhriogair im sorry that was mean :P
lol, to late I'm now off to get Oreo -

I haven’t been diagnosed but I think I might have ocd. It started like two or tree years ago when I randomly got a very scary thought and started obsessing over having it. Then they just became more and more common because I feel like my brain just kept sabotaging me so that I’d get even more anxious. It’s gotten better now (I think) since it’s been two years but the thoughts still come back in certain situations and now I have some different things. Sometimes when I’m reading or watching something I notice that it just gets too difficult because I feel like I have to keep rewind something back a thousand times because I didn’t look at it closely enough. And if start the rewinding process I usually have to do it tree or five times because I don’t like the number four and two isn’t enough. Reading is also pretty hard because I have to keep repeating words in my head and saying them outloud untill it feels right (same when watching something). I also have this thing when I’m reading comics that I have to analyze all the faces and I can’t turn the page until I’ve kinda felt what the character is feeling. So yeah, reading and watching can sometimes get kinda exhausting and at that point I’m not even enjoying it even though I’d love the book or serie. Wau this was long but yeah. Also walking is sometimes a struggle because I have to turn back to check that I haven’t crushed any bugs or something. There are other things too but I think these are the most annoying that come to mind. I’ve wondered, can have you have compulsions even if there’s no thoughts like ”my family’s gonna die if I don’t do this”? Behind the actions?
You don’t have it I’m a expert
@@DixonBlachkochyeah sure.........You're an expert.....
@@appleitree pipe down bro 😭😭😭😭 you serve ZERO purpose on this planet
I sometimes automatically count my steps when I go down the stairs and it's pissing me off but I can't stop doing it😂
Also, when my OCD was at it's worst, my doctor prescribed me with this medicine called Sertraline, and it REALLY helped (it didn't cure it, it just drastically reduced symptoms), so if anyone is really struggling with it like I was you should ask your doctor about it. I just thought it might help someone somewhere.
Can you do a video about Autisim? I actually have autisim and a majority of people (for me at least) dont understand it. People just view it as "another disorder" but its really a bit more than that.
I am autustic too
SECRET: In real life, I have autism too. The high functioning one. Some people understand low functioning autism, but don't understand high functioning autism.
I just looked back on this comment after a year o.o (I posted this a few days before the autisim vid was uploaded)
I have been diagnosed with OCD, ADHD & Anxiety. Anxiety often comes with OCD and makes things a lot worse. OCD for me is repeating words, counting steps and other things. The thing is, I do not have the cleanest room, not everything has its own place, but other things bug me more. For example, things have to be in line -I know, my room I think it’s because I feel comfortable in it. But when it comes to eating off forks and plates from anywhere but my home and seeing things not straight in public drives me crazy. OCD can be very confusing and I hope people who don’t have it and don’t understand it won’t use it in the wrong way.
(Edit: I forgot a capital, that bugs me. Sorry!)
Same exactly
I have ocd and when he mentioned the exposure therapy, I physically shivered. That would kill me hahaha
Me too. I cannot even imagine having to go through that.
yeah! :/
Jaden Stal I have been in Exposure therapy for about three years and though it’s hard, it’s so worth it in the long run. You can do it I know you can!
Bob Hat that makes it seems a little more hopeful, thank you! :)
Yeah, just thinking about it gives me anxiety. I would love my hands to stop bleeding due to overwashing, but the thought of exposing myself to gross things makes me so uncomfortable that part of me is perfectly content to go on like this :/
Do a video like this on bipolar disorder. Lots of people seem very uneducated on what bipolar, or manic depressive disorder is. Like if you agree they should make a video like this on bipolar disorder.
David YASS!!!! I don't personally have Bipolar Disorder, but I despise stigma against metal illness. Plus, I do understand the down periods, which are hard enough. So I think people with Bipolar Disorder are some of the strongest, bravest people out there!
David and depression
I have major mood swings some times
How do i know if i have Bipolar
However i think it'd be v minor
Space Face bipolar consists of more than just moods swings, but i suggest you get in contact with a psychiatrist or a mental health expert near you to get a professional diagnosis.
I’m diagnosed with pretty bad OCD and it drives me crazy when people say they have OCD even though they aren’t diagnosed
I see a therapist, and I suffer OCD. Though it really grinds my gears when people say “Oh my OCD that’s not perfectly in place and not organised.” And it really upsets me, I have to constantly check everything in my house, I constantly see in my dreams and thoughts my house burning down due to my carelessness, and I have to constantly check everything is turned off, fixed and safe. I have to suffer other thoughts as well, it’s really annoying and makes me rage when people act like they have OCD.
I am glad that I don't have COD ..... Infinite Warfare
This is great 👍🏻 a really great video to explain to others the daily struggles faced by people with OCD like me. Finally people can understand that OCD is more than just a neat freak. And that it hurts when someone says they have OCD in a casual way and really don't have the disorder. Thank you for this very informative video.
Cover "antisocial" as well.
people think its "not being social" but it actually means sociopathy
That's exactly the reason why I want them to cover it.
Meow Meow yeah I hate when people say I'm so antisocial because they literally so no to going out like 1 once a week and then the rest of the week there out having fun 😂😂
