I have excoriation which is closely related to OCD but according to doctors, not exactly. It feels exactly like this which can also be due from my anxiety. I have a goal everyday to pick, stab, peel, somebody off my body. If I don’t, I have this internal heat oven that heats up and it feels like I’m gonna have a heart attack if I don’t pick, pick, pick. The “episodes” are so bad that I will use ANYTHING to pick myself to get the thoughts out my head.

But the lying and distorting reality.. My mother will lie and steal things from my father then text me he is loosing his mind, to try to get me to move back to the area. How to get a parent to seek therapy? ... It is overwhelming to hear the same story for 40 years, when she has no accountability. It is hard being raised by one, that is in denali. She talks victim and then blames / and becomes a perpetrator. I am sorry but it is exhausting, listening to her for even 15 minutes. If she got help I would feel more empathy. She triangulates and I was never able to talk to my father without her have a breakdown ... as she would ruminate in jealousy. Just exhausting. I am great when not around her, did lots of inner work for 25 years...but I need to visit my father. I get triggered by her. She is an extreme case. ... and I am grateful to have been raised by my grandmother for a lot of my childhood. My father is just trying to cope, but he is afraid of triggering her, then she texts everyone that he is abusive... but she forgets that she did this to me for 18 years of my life... I just took off at 18... to find inner peace.

watching this while skipping work

Thank you its been a ling 40yrs to see some symptoms written by others. Be kind to yourself everyone. I started excercise again and looking at my diet in honest way and for me it helps. Your post helped a lot.

I dropped out of college just because of this😢

I.. almost say all those words to him :< Lord, I trust You with him. I can't change him, I can't give him hope, only You, Lord.

Also, there’s a book called What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia that has helped me A LOT… it really worked for me!

You might want to check out mycotoxins because you have the same symptoms as I do… yes I have fibromyalgia but I also have mold colonizing me and the shooting pains are what alerted me to it. Plus I have a VERY restricted diet otherwise I get so sick I’m mostly in bed.

thank you for the effort you are doing for us <3

Watching this while I'm trying to take care of my responsibilities. I feel mentally and physically tired so everything feels way harder, even something simple like eating. Sucks.

Im crying my butt off rn and these comments r making me laugh😅

What a load of crap. When did Americans turn into the weakest, most prissy people on the planet? What generation is it that is so wussified that it cannot tolerate ordinary English words and need to have new words that MEAN THE EXACT SAME THING?

When everything is so loud and you want to hide

I think Brain fog is evil spirit. Good to have spiritual solution

I have identical symptoms. Thanks for sharing your story because it helps me understand that im not alone. Everyone is different. Had to cancel physio for arthritic knees because dr sent referral letter explaining my fibro was worse than my arthritis. An examination proved it. Thank you once again.😊

I agree 💯. Ever time i half to get up n go to work i feel like ending it all

That me ! I think also the genetic compound …. To develop more mental and emotional issues more ….

I realize that I cannot bartend anymore. I just can't do it physically or mentally. I have to pivot and change my career path. I do have a college degree but have not really used it. I have PTSD but I refuse to let it define me and I don't consider myself disabled despite the fact that it has pretty much ravaged my life for the past year. I have to fight hard and get another type of job bc the last two I simply walked out of duting my shift. The time before that I got fired bc a customer came to attack me behind the bar and I pulled her hair and dragged her out of the bar. I'm a female. I don't really feel like I can do it anymore. I'm going to go to a temp agency and maybe take some classes to do something else. Id like to work remotely.

Stop eating sugar and carbs.

I have a problem expressing what is inside me, with both family and friends. And when someone yells at me, I just put everything mixed in one big problem that makes me imagine more problems. The thing is in school, I have been trying to get rid of this social anxiety that I have, trying to fit in with a group of people. But for ab example, when someone is playing a game like bottle flip or anything, I'd feel left out, I try to play with them, and I want to open up a conversation with all of them. Especially the one I hate and the one I love, which some people would relate to this, because I argue a lot. But when it comes to talk with them on WhatsApp for example, it's so fun showing my true self, it's like I made friends online. But I don't talk with strangers and whatever. The one thing I want people to understand what I'm facing. Especially my crush, I had troubles with him, and he blocked me, because he still doesn't understand of what we went through from me, I blame this on myself, when this happens, for me I just feel annoying. Because not just for him, I annoyed most of my classmates which they won't understand why I do not stop. It's because I have no trustful friends, that I talk a lot. I don't know how to fit in, I don't know how to talk with a group

More like schizophrenia

Facts

'Bruh You're not the only one feeling tired here. Get over it. My work hours are way longer than yours. Am I crying like you do? No. Becauae I'm strong and responsible.' The worst thing to say to anyone who is mentally exhausted and ill, and yet it's also the most common thing I hear from others.

I experienced this for the first time a few weeks ago fighting the deadline for our undergraduate thesis. I hadn't slept a full four hours for about two weeks at that point and even stayed up late for 2 1/2 days in a row at one point. I had never done that before, and it messed me up. I was overloaded with so much information and there were so many issues with our paper that I had to process. When the fog hit, it was the most frustrating and panic-inducing thing I had ever experienced. I can only describe it like as a short circuit. I knew I had to address some topics and I was talking about it with my research partner right then and there just a few minutes, even seconds prior. I was only slightly dizzy, but my head was burning. It wasn't aching or throbbing or anything like that, it was just hot. All I could do was sit there. My mind was literally just blank. It was horrid. I'm trying to never put myself in a position to experience that ever again.

I can't tell you how accurate this video is. This is me every single waking minute of every single day. This video is like looking deep inside my soul. It's exhausting, I'm exhausted. Thank you for making this, it actually makes me feel a little understood for once! 🙏🏻🩵

this is so accurate, thankfully ive been in treatment for a year and a half and am doing nuch better now, i wish i could show this to everyone who missunderstands ocd..

My GCSEs are coming up in three weeks but this fog is keeping me back

I struggle with OCD i hate it sk much i wish i could just shut my brain up sometimes

For me it feels like my brain is a really slow computer and when I try to search for files, I keep getting a loading screen.

Sometimes there’s so many thoughts all at the same time it just becomes feeling. OCD spirals suck ass

I suffered severe anxiety 18 years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with cptsd and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I been living in fogville my whole life Edit: spelled whole as hole

I just cried watching the video.I really dont know why I cried. Just the thought of your brain rambling about is daunting. The mere thought of not shutting down your brain is really scary. I dont know your pain my friend, probably really painful. Now i feel like my empathy made me cry,idk. Anyways more power to you❤.

thank you.. video about how to help someone suicidal

This sums up severe OCD too real. No one talks about health OCD but this is what it's like.

Idek what it’s like to feel NOT anxious cuz I’m just anxious all the time

WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE

Exactly

I have been suffering so tremendously, there have been plenty of situational things but there always is. I got off my benzos so we could try for a family and I have been absolutely a wreck. I fear I am ruining my marriage and the only person who is there for me even if he gets angry and doesn’t understand.

excellent examples!

You are loved, more than you know. Jesus loves you, He understands you

Yup

I combat emptiness through my hobbies and interests like running, cooking, reading, cleaning even. I set simple goals and try to achieve it. At the same time I ensure there is no stress while achieving the goals.

This looks just like Open Dyslexia font which is free to download. It helped so much.

This is me every day- the daily struggles.

Me irl

The compliments one is huge for me. UGH.

Great idea! But don’t overstuff the filling as it makes it stiff and less able to contour to the body. Also add collar to the wrap for neck warming. It will feel like pure bliss.

Only people with full blown OCD can understand the pain and humiliation it causes. Not to mention utterly exhausting since it is 24/7. The only true cure is the divine power of Jesus Christ. To everyone out there reading this who is suffering with OCD, dwell on JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED. Jesus crushed all bondage on the cross at Calvary. He already purchased our complete victory. Therefore, receive your healing in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
