POCD is probably the worst of the lot. I have it too. I understand the pain.

What is HOCD and POCD?

@@NB-lx6gzshe talks about it at 3:30

Every time I get over one thing something else pops up it’s exhausting.

It's horror when my seizures occurres

How is this taboo? Talking about going to the bathroom would be taboo here, or discussing a period, this is not remotely taboo.

magic mushrooms has the ability to help heal the wounds of those suffering from reoccurring OCD, anxiety and depression and bring healing to them.

These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.

Stay safe people, respect this sacred fungi and it will resepect you.

Y'all all talk about the benefits but you don't say where one can grab from...

I always told myself when my ocd was at its worst that “one day I’ll look back on this moment and laugh” and I can tell you that I didn’t laugh, but my did I look back. You will look back too and soon realize that it is beatable. You just need to run it before it runs you.

I recovered from ocd...hope you do too

​@@jaydeedgrenyou have snapchat ?

Hey! Hope you’re doing good i have been struggling with ocd too i know what it feels like

@@pratibhasrivastava1506how did you recover? X

I thought she was a girl

You are never alone and you are not your thoughts!

It’s hard but it makes it easier when you know what it is

Hope that helps !!

Wow that last sentence is almost exactly what my dad told me when I was younger too. From my experience, the best thing to do is “play into facade” of the person struggling aka your son. His main trigger will be you denying his mentally ill perception of what is going on so play into the facade until he is able to get the grip himself and admit to you the ludicrousness of his own thoughts. But in the heat of the moment his ocd will do everything in its power to make it look like reality. The best thing you can say is I understand, I agree, and I get it. I guarantee saying those things will put him at ease. He will be triggered if you cannot understand what he is trying to say because his thoughts are moving too fast, and if he forgets to explain a thought all he’ll breaks loose. So if he is spiraling just say “I understand and I get it. It will take your relationship far, and one day I promise when he is older he will find a way to cope on his own. All the best to you guys. Ocd is a battle but like I said no pain no gain he will get through this and find peace just like me.

I would also like to say that majority of people with ocd excel in life due to a mentally I’ll level of perfectionism and fear of failure. So if wondering if he’ll ever be self sufficient ever consumes you don’t even worry about it. I was exactly like him and now look at me! Not to toot my own horn but I did a Ted talk at a top three school in Canada, am starting my own company, will be attending the number 1 business school in my country and I’m only 19. Why am I achieving so much so young? There are three components. 1. My intelligence/genetics, 2, the resources I had growing up, and 3. Having ocd which makes becoming successful like crack to me. However I’ve met many people who only had the third one and are very far in life. So remind your son that the universe is on his side and that to always remember that being mentally I’ll is never an excuse to say or do horrible things to the people you love.

That is really awesome and admirable, seriously.

@jaydeedgren: It would be great, if everyone would get through it, but unfortunately that's not the case. I'm suffering from OCD for over 30 years and there's no end in sight.

That's why I'm afraid to say the specifics of my OCD even to my most understanding friends. I'm certain they don't know enough about OCD to be able to distinguish intrusive thoughts from actual wishes and behaviour.

You should be proud of yourself for posting this! OCD is one of the most debilitating mental health conditions and people often don’t take it seriously. The intrusive thoughts that come with OCD can be so heinous that we feel as though we could never dare to say them out loud, so seeking help can be especially difficult. OCD has been stealing my life from me for years and I’m only just about to start exposure therapy. This Ted Talk was incredibly moving. I’m just a random person on the internet, but know that you’re not alone, there are so many others that are experiencing the same struggles, and the sooner you can get professional treatment, the better. I wish that I had started this process sooner. Best of luck!

@@Hi.My.Name.Is.Arianna aw you are amazing, thank you so much, you made my week😭🥰 (maybe even life, who knows; it makes one feel safe if they gain support from others- especially if they can relate to them, so thank you, i wish you the best too❤️)

I’m so glad to know that you found what I had to say meaningful!! I resonated with both this video and your comment, so I had hoped that I could also add some words of value. I absolutely feel your pain. I was fortunate enough to very recently find a therapist that has also personally struggled with OCD, and having someone that truly understands it has made such a difference. You may already know this, but don’t be discouraged if the first therapist or psychiatrist you work with isn’t the right fit. It may take a few trys, but don’t give up! It’s easy to feel like you’re going crazy, and those around you may treat you as though that’s the case, but know that it is a very real condition, and it can get better with proper treatment. Someone online that I found to be very helpful in working up the courage to seek out a therapist, that you may also benefit from, (if you don’t already know about her) is a UKpostsr by the name of Nicole Rafiee. She’s opened up about her experience with OCD and how she’s gone about seeking professional help. It’s been an ongoing issue for her, and it’s been really inspiring to see her improve. She goes about discussing her OCD symptoms by being both very sincere and inserting comedic comments where she can. (If you do decide to look her up, be aware that she makes a bunch of different types of videos, but if you specifically look for her OCD related content, you’ll find what you’re looking for). Anyways, I hope this isn’t too long of a reply, and thank you in return for the well wishes!! ❤️

@@Hi.My.Name.Is.Arianna no no, thank you🤩🙏❤️

please yes i really just want to be diagnosed but my family doesnt think ocd is not a serious problem and when i told them about it they just ignored it

it going to be okay.

I started tearing up too. I’m going through ERP/CBT for this. So glad she’s rebuilt that relationship with her family :( 🤍

Views mean nothing.

You are not alone. I had to rinse a tip of my finger about four or five times to “feel right” just yesterday. This is torture

@@PaulsMom93 yeah absolutely the same. Feeling weird and my anxiety is on top of my head

And for me personally, insecurities tied to my acne cleared up as my hormones became balanced.

What does this even mean?

Yes it is. But you get over it by being certain about the fact that it's untrue

Yes! You are doing it right! Accept the thoughts! But never think they're true. Say to yourself “I understand what you're trying to tell me, ocd, but it's not true and even if it is, I won't do anything about it or hurt anyone so it doesn't matter anyway.

@@jaydeedgren god bless you. Thank you so much.
