Kiri Kiske I have had OCD sense I was 7! I can totally relate to what Howie goes through!

my sister is 9 years old and I think she has some form of ocd and she's been to a therapist but it hasn't helped much.

+Makeupbygabby28 She needs a behavioral therapist, not just an ordinary one..

+Ompmovies Yea that's true.

Ompmovies you posted this 7 months ago- It's very brave of you to admit to yourself that it is causing you some grief and even braver to actually pick up the phone and reach out for help. I hope you did decide to start treating your disease and can see some progress there. The sooner we take control, the easier it can be. Good luck to you ! Hope you're well !

Yes i understand. I have rituals with my hand washing. I have to wash in a certain pattern and a certain number of times. If people bother me in public i have to repeat. I literally missed my entire lunch because people bothered me. On e lady i had to yell at her to get her to stop. I work at Walmart. They will ask questions while I'm washing my hands in the bathroom. I tell them they have just entirely ruined my lunch. Why would they talk to me. Its ridiculous. You can obviously see i am in a routine do not bother me. I can't take off my vest til i wash my hands. Ugh. These people. Its frustrating to love this way because others cant understand to leave you alone.

That goes for anyone regardless of gender.

brian wong that's just nothing compare to my 100 times washing hands a day!!!

​@@monicaheissheissein415in my case it was 500

Obsessive compulsive disorder. As an example, you wash your hands daily, but someone with OCD might have to wash their hands a certain amount of times or else they just shut down. It has to be done for them to feel accomplished for the day, to feel good. Etc. Some are more extreme than others.

Some folks need help with their individual weaknesses. And talking about it just makes easier for others to learn from. We still have to end the stigmatized language around mental health treatment so people won't be nervous about seeking proper care.

Ugh why do we label different diseases, calling a sickness cancer is only making us more seperate. It doesn't matter if you are Deaf, stop trying for special treatment

Different???? Actually people with mental health issues don't enjoy being "different" it's fucken painful and there's a reason there needs to be a label to it because people treat them like a normal person when there suffering in silence! There needs to be an END to stigma and I'm talking stigma like the one you just posted here!!! Learn the fucken FACTS, you don't know wtf it feels like. Why don't you expirience your arm bleeding and continue on your day or life like that, well that's what the brain feels like when it's suffering, it's sad how people like you treat others, no wonder there's suicides and people that don't feel cared for or understood because world fucken BULLIES! LEARN THE FACTS BEFORE YOU JUDGE.

So people know what's wrong with them, can find a community, more easily seek treatment, etc...???

Eileen LeValley that's the way ocd works. It can be very strabge. I have it and can't sit down at public restraints because of germs but I'm fine every where else

Just because someone has mental health issues DOESN'T mean they are a killer or harmful person, actually most don't want any harm on anyone, they just don't know how to handle there issues and it is extremely painful for them! If you knew OCD than you would know that OCD people actually have extreme compassion, sensitivity, and are scared to hurt a fly! Not all mental health issues cause people to be crazy, but mental health issues could co occur with anger, and if they do have intense issues it's because there not getting proper help so that could make you go crazy when the most important part of your body as a human is the mind and it's playing tricks on you! Also depending on upbringings, trauma, being bullied etc! If your arm was fucken bleeding and you didn't get help how the fuck would you handle it, would you not act crazy and scream for help??? You fucken would, well that's how the brain is and don't try to tell otherwise, know the facts before you say shit! Also you have no idea what it's like living in the hell of your own mind when all you want is to be normal, do you think people want to be on harmful medications the rest of there life? No they want a way out, help, and a cure, but unfortunately doctors just prescribe there shitty medications that don't even always help, and it's nearly impossible for these important humans to get into therapy when there is long wait times! Think back to the bleeding arm how would you feel waiting on that?!
