I hope your camping trip was fun!

@@skye2192 thanks so much it was!!! :))

Hope it went well and well done for pushing yourself outside your comfort zone 👍🏻

How did it go?

We sure are! I actually think he has a very beautiful and sweet voice. He's a great guy!

Truly are our own worse enemies in a sense

the problem is this; with OCD and other things, its a perception disorder. voice/body things, thats dysmorphia. the assumed perception between what the person sees and what is actuality is skewed, literally. for me, its not dissimilar from seeing myself in a funhouse mirror constantly. its...difficult to say the least

Plllllll LL

OCD does suck, I know from my own experiences. Andrew seems like a really smart dude. Hope he’s feeling better

What man?

there are people with sub-clinical ocd. my father gets very, very stressed out when there’s any mess around. it ruins his mood, it’s upsetting and triggering. it’s not normal. he’s not actually OCD, but it’s still a struggle and it’s still valid

Ocd person...try this technique...do this closed eyes mindfull breathing for 20 mins for 4 hrs once...it gonna show normal world...100% works

Yeah same and with the pandemic it's made me even more aware of what I'm touching and want to hand wash more. Like if I touch my coat/bag I've recently worn outside or received a delivery box, touch door handles etc I feel dirty

I get the drinking out the same cup I have that fear but the over day I let someone drink coffee from my cup and I drank from it after it was had and scary but I lived and still with Covid made it more intense, I find I not as had from my kids cup still fill it there but not as bad as a stranger,,

@@Claire8483 I'm same as you. I'm not as bad as Jack. I have put my family through so much difficult situations I hate myself for it. Sometimes I don't even see point of me living.

I asked my dr about germs being carried by smells and she said the odor molecules are too small to carry a germ to you. I hope this is helpful. It helped me.

Have you made any progress since this comment mate?

Wishing you well 💕

I read that also; the brain's pathways are dominated by our hormones, that is a new relevation with obesity. You've heard the expression, once the switch is flipped on...well, that's rather a true statement. Very insightful of you, Daily.

Interesting! As I enter my 50s I wonder if my OCD will become more intense through menopause.

theyre probably vaccinated already

@Prof Prostate dont think thats allowed tbh

She’s doing amazing!

Who told you that they got covid?

My brother has this! Him and I both have OCD, but he has OCD tics. He repeats phrases, throat sounds, coughs, etc. all the time. He is 23, soon to be 24. I hope this brings you some solace. Even though it may truly feel like it, you're never alone in this. I hope you find some peace in your days, wishing you the best 😊

OCD often isn’t logical 🤷‍♀️

I think Jack was drunk, he was even naked in the hot tub. And also each ones OCD looks different in certain ways. I'll use this example to explain it...It's like me and my brother...we are not far apart in age, we grew up together, we did everything together, we have the same mom and dad (biologically), we have similar interests but also very different in many ways, he drinks alcohol, I don't, he is social and I'm not, he loves tech I don't, he likes watching series I hate series. But we have also a lot of the same interests.

Same here

same

Me too! Great book right?

How did you cope and recover? I ask because my fear of lead in metal, in clothes and jewelry for example, returned. It's a bit similar because they're the kind of things you have to face often. Like someone with an eating disorder and meal times. I'm happy you got better.

@@deadinside8781 Unfortunately a lot of mine have resurfaced too and suspect yours has gotten worse due to the C epidemic. If there's a way that you can go for long walks or exercise that would minimize the focus on what you obsess over it sucks but it will get better for you. Keep busy with hobbies the things you enjoy it'll occupy your mind,wishing you all the best hang in there 🙏

Hi

Go under the videos bio. Their email is there, and u can contact them.

hes mine😊

@@anna-ih1pw mine!

Yall are weird

so real

Put them in a military bootcamp and their OCD will quickly disappear with the drill sergeant yelling at them

@@thistamndypo The day you have it and it controls your life then you can speak. Otherwise keep your hilarious remedies to yourself

I guess you are not a psychologist.

@@thistamndypo or yanno worsen with some power tripped adult screaming at them on top of it all? food for thought

@@thistamndypo It would literally not help at all, they would just have OCD and a Drill Sargeant yelling at them. There are probably plenty of people in that exact situation.

Meaning?

@@chrissylouise3226 As in the anime - unrelated to the video .. just thought i’d ask

Or riding on public transport.

OCD isn't rational and never will be

OCD is not rational. Obsessions constantly change, adding new ones and getting over old ones.

You are watching a documentary about a mental illness wherein you witness a young woman struggle to keep composure because her brain is screaming at her that if she doesn’t tap a rock with her foot, her mother will die, and you fools in the comments say, “Tattoos? Hot tubs? It doesn’t make sense!” And then you call it madness-tactful! It’s IRRATIONAL. Otherwise it would be called “mental wellness”. Honestly.

OCD does not make sense, and we know what we are doing is irrational. But, that doesn’t make the thoughts and compulsions come any less.

ocd like most mental illness isn't logical most of the time! might make sense to us that tattoos are risky but the brain can justify it in weird ways

I was thinking about those tattoos also! Fear of needles and germs for me!

it's all sterilised so he knows it's safe.

Yup… needles come right out the pack.

Talk to your doctor, a random person on the internet can't tell you if you have ocd or not.

@@Klearith WAS just curious if that's normal

@@KirkLee1983 okay, but still, talk to your doctor. Some people have symptoms of ocd but don't necessarily have ocd.

If by "normal" you mean 'does everyone do that?'....no, they don't. It's unusual and a typical OCD behaviour. You'd need to see a doctor to determine if it's OCD or not. Does it affect your life badly?

@@bethgriesauer3825 yes

Well, it says S1 Ep1, which stands for season 1 episode 1, implying there‘s gonna be more episodes to come.

It sounds to me that the treatment is/was quite experimental/extreme so it may not be sanctioned and/or funded by the NHS for that reason

@@sgttdghhj3612 interesting! I didn't think about that! exposure and response therapy has been proven to be most effective now but when this show first came out in 2013 I think it was pretty radical. Also I looked up what happened to the people after the show and all of them got better and better. : ) The guy who couldn't touch people's hands I forgot his name actually ended up on a game show several years later. When his team got an answer right he high-fived his teammate with no problem, no hesitation I was so proud of him!

@whitney that's amazing to hear! Thankyou for the update, impressive investigating skills! Mental health care is still underfunded in the UK but I think it's slowly getting better as people become more aware of the issues, and so more treatments get tested, sanctioned and become available. It's not perfect but it's free, not sure I could afford to do a treatment like those patients without going on TV or it being available on the NHS.

Our Mental health system is broken. People are dying every day. For CAMS the under 18s mental health service you are looking at 18 month waiting list, minimum. Adults worse. We are fighting for emergency beds too section people for their safety. It's an epidemic.

British public healthcare=take two Tylenol and get on a list.

My OCD is very similar to Jack's OCD, I'll shake hands but only if I can wash my hands immediately after that. I can give hugs too but don't touch me with your hands when you hug also don't let your hair or face touch mine.

Funny, made me laugh. Have a good one today.

I can't also but only if I've washed my hands like for 5 minutes, I also have contamination OCD.

@@user-vr7mm7hm7s British young adults sounds pretty boring too

@@user-vr7mm7hm7s British young adults sounds pretty boring too

Why does that bother you so much? Do you only want to watch programmes on teens? Maybe just focus on how these people lives are being effected so badly - it really doesn't matter how old they are.

I think it bothers many people

@@Klearith thank u ❤️

@@user-vr7mm7hm7s thank u ❤️

Yes a bit strange that one.

Yes i do agree on a level. I had severe OCD too and even to this day I consider myself cured and I would still worry about it lol

Sadly ocd is anything but logical

OCD is a mental illness and isn't rational.

Only two, The small girl with brown hair is 17 and the girl with blonde hair is 18

Who cares? It's as if you only want to watch it it if they're teens.

Okay, why are people posting this? Do you realize how you come off?

Yes it is crazy! We had a virus with a rabies component that has mutated and is burning out--very different from this guy hating the world around him.

That might help with some types of OCD but not others. If you’ve ever worn those things for significant time your hands sweat and they stink of rubber (I use them to do my cleaning with!) Also when it comes to touching food they’re still going to have all the same germ exposure as your regular hands, so you’d need to change them every time you eat food that requires touch. There might also be a cost implication as you could end up going through rather a lot.

@@SilenceYouBeast I didn't even think about that! I'm an in-home nurse and they supply us the gloves and I strip gloves off and change every 5 minutes but I didn't even think about the cost of that.

@@c_farther5208 I wouldn't say he hates the world around him. More he's afraid of it. And now everyone is wearing medical masks and washing hands and wearing gloves everytime they're out in public. Everyone is just as afraid as he is. Well like half of the population is. It doesn't even matter at this point whether the virus ever goes away or not. That's not the point. The point is the masks are here to stay just like how in Asia they've been wearing masks for years every time they leave the house. And that's how it's going to be in America. it's just become a part of American culture. Stores won't let you in without a mask even if you can prove you've had the vaccine. Even if there are no mask laws the stores and companies themselves decide. The masks are here to stay whether we like them or not.

Because you touch things with the gloves and then the gloves get dirty. Then you'd have to wash the gloves....

OCD is different for everyone! I can lay on the floor in a public place as long as none of my skin is touching it, but I cannot touch door handles. The disorder can be very contradictory.

Almosy like mentall illness is well, mental...

Your response to what you just watched is to flex about how rural Canada is? Fear not. I promise you that no one thinks Canada is densely populated. No one thinks about Canada at all.

@@ME-jy8jk Yah I wrote it at the start of the video before I really knew how helpful this seemed to be for the people and the positive impact that it looks like it had. I'm sure I could say something more meaningful about the program but I would just bee speaking out of my rear end because I have no experience when it comes to dealing with mental issues. I just thought it would be a bit of a funny comment to the shows hyperbole. And yah I'll flex about how sparsely populated Canada is 4 per square kilometre, 9th least populated in the world and proud. Might I ask what country your from?

@@Glen_lastname I apologize, I overreacted there and was rude.

To be fair, tattoo stations are very well sanitised, he can watch it be sanitised, and they use new ink, ink cups, gloves, goo and needles on each person

@@taylorl.9875 yes true, still interesting how the mind can overcompensate in some areas

OCD isn't rational

Good point, but it is an irrational fear, after all.

That's not how OCD works..

​@@Chiller-pc1dvAgreed. Theres also avoidance behaviors. If the washing machine was considered contaminated he might avoid the washing machine. Its a catch 22.

Stop

@@Chiller-pc1dv what kind of person must you be to want to stop a person from offering hope to hopeless? Do you have a better solution for people with suicidal thoughts whose medication doesn’t work anymore? Do you have solutions for people who were traumatised as children and are in all sorts of oppression? I’m talking about what I know and what I have seen and experienced in my life. He has set me free from all sorts of mental health and spiritual issues and in His name we have seen Him do it for others. He is great.

​​@@africanindiaspo2895 No, I'm asking you to stop claiming religion is going to cure anyone. Because it won't. That's super reductive and trivializing of our suffering. Sure it's fine to offer to pray for someone, fine to suggest religion may help a person feel less stressed...but lying and saying religion is a "cure" is unhelpful. Also..not everyone believes in the same religion. I myself suffer from OCD, and most mentally ill/neurodivergent people are so sick of people going "Oh you just need to believe and pray to Jesus, he'll cure you! Just use essential oils! Just workout more, eat healthier, do yoga, try this fad diet! Then you'll be fixed!" we hear the same things over and over all the time....and more often than not..we've already tried these things.

@@minnieJesusfreak thank you for your comment but could you please elaborate which part of my comments was untrue. I said Jesus CAN heal and I said many conditions are down to spiritual issues. If I have suggested otherwise please point it out to me. I’m glad you are having therapy to cure OCD. It’s good to take any steps we can to get professional help. But, at the same time I encourage you to consider the source of this OCD. Normally it’s linked to traumatic events and that’s when the devils agents take hold of our minds and bodies. As you continue to pursue therapy I encourage you to listen to the teachings of a man named Derek Prince. They might be helpful to you. As far as Paul is concerned, he said the thorn in the flesh was given to him because of the surpassingly great revelations that he was given, a thorn was given to him to stop him from being proud. My brother/sister have you been to the third heaven that you need a thorn in the flesh? In Christendom we tend to find a way of rationalising unhelpful beliefs. Why are we not also raising the dead like apostle Paul did, as well as healing all kinds of sick people? I hope you understand my heart. I am only seeking to encourage you to expect more from your Heavenly Father who loves you so much. Why did Jesus give the gift of healing to the church, through the Holy Spirit? He said if the elders anoint a person with a need with oil the prayer of faith will make them whole.

Tell that to someone with religious OCD/scrupulosity. Your comment is damaging.
