I spent a day with people w/ OCD (OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER)

oooo

You should do a interview with people with adhd!

@@ThatRoseBush he is going to!

hiii could you reply im a big fan!!

having an anxiety attack or panic attack “calm down”

or when someone’s has tics🌚

@@xifuu fr I have Tourette’s so when I tic ppl tell me just stop put your hands down like how I’m not controlling anything

YES

@@xifuu I get tics sometimes (doubt I have tourettes) and my mom keeps telling me to stop and it's really annoying

SERIOUSLY. Beyond frustrating.

I used to say that about my mum and I am watching closely haha. Glad Anthony is shedding light on this :)

My teachers say that and it makes me so angry

What pls explain what u just said

@@thegreatestgaming6400 there are people who use OCD as just a synonym for a perfectionist, saying “omg I’m SO OCD!” Which is just glamorizing the disorder

Thank you, yeah it's like a bully in my head thar won't leave me alone.

I thought I was posessed when I was younger because of it :( so I really relate to this comment

@stella ☆ yeah same here

Thank you ❤ ocd has been hell I broke down in tears watching this. It's so mentally draining and scary but it's not me it's my brain. It makes me sad this is happening to me but I wake up every day fighting through it. A month ago I was 10 out of 10 anxiety for no reason now I'm a 1 out of 10 thanks to Ali greymond

I couldn't agree more, I have OCD, it is so terrible I had to be sent to the mental hospital twice, I prevent me from kms 😕

I have had ocd since I was 7 so I know how you feel, it’s extremely tiring and trapping.
Sending love your way! ❤

I have a family member with it and it’s so heart breaking

Cute and quirky?????????

I have OCPD. I can pinpoint incidences in childhood that scream OCPD. It’s… difficult.

I've was diagnosed with OCD when I was 4 or 5 and seeing people faking it really pisses me off. Most people act like it's not a big deal but it really is,OCD can mess up someone's life. I hope anyone else who's got it is doing ok,ik it can be tough but you just have to hang on as best you can❤️
I hope you have a great day/night,stay safe out there❤️

Yeah they work hard

Haha ya

Yes they must work very hard cause their fixing it every time

*signs my initials*

@iyzz beach love your profile pic! Lol

that would be so interesting

he did lol

@@andyleikind I think that was 911 dispatchers.

I just came back to this comment to say that ahh so sorry

@@andyleikind no that’s ok lol

Idk I think bulimia is the most misunderstood

That’s and ADHD

Literally a girl told me that and after I just thought I was crazy because they had taken over ocd as a “neatness disorder” when I really went through it with my mind telling me to do certain things or else something would happen which had driven me nuts for so long

that and bipolar, people are like "omg i'm so bipolar" like shut up jessica you were sad yesterday and happy today that's just being a person with emotions
honestly though it's just hard to say, since there's so much misinformation on so many disorders, we just need better information on mental health out there, i'm glad anthony is makin these videos

​@@raggedyanne9631 saying its thebmost misunderstood problem its false from a young age we have been exposed to so many documentaries about people suffering from ocd that its notbjust about being neat
So saying its the worst it isnt .
Adhd its pretty confusing .
People are suffering from adhd and still cant get proper help as its not a well known disability .
Adhd is worste of course because if you have a sever adhd it can mess your whole life .
Having job problem, always pooor having emotionnal dysregulation. Depression generalised anxiety, homelessness, extreme lack of motivation due toblack of dopamine in the brain, having executive fonction undevelloped to the point that people will judge you, call you lazy ect ect .
So yes adhd compare to ocd is way worse as it mess your whole life .
Not only adhd .
ocd is far less worse than bipolar, bpd and the rest .
People always think they have it worse
We are all suffering in our own ways

indeed, I just wanna drink a toxic product or get hit by a car and die like... almost everyday. thats how bad ocd is 👍

@@helenaduarte60 same i hate it so much

y e s.

omg this suddenly reminded me of that one anime about a soccer player with ocd BUT they portray it as a gag because like “hE’s a sOcCeR pLaYer bUt hEs sOo oRGaNised uWu sO qUirky” although i never got to finish it so I can’t speak for the series as a whole (the title of the anime is Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun)

I like to have my room clean and neat, when friends come over they always say “ you’re such a cleanfreak you must have OCD “ just because something is clean doesn’t mean the person has OCD. It’s annoying when people make these comments or when they self diagnose without knowing what it is

YES. I have OCD and being organized is not something that affects me, being tidy does, I want everything to look a certain way but its just that something is 'clean'

Ikr

Wow yeah

100% I think that the law system in USA is so messed up it would certainly be a very eye opening episode especially in the times we are living in now

YES

Yes, that’s a good idea.

That’s actually a great idea tbh

I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.

psilocybin mushrooms is a way to connect with our natural self and gain a deeper appreciation for our place within it.

Let's be adults about this. These are no longer 'shrooms. These are no longer party drugs for young people," "Psilocybin mushrooms are nonaddictive, life-changing substance..

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

dr.rinehartshrooms

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I’ve definitely done things 100’s of times trying to get them right only to not get them right. 🥺

It’s pure torture.

i have NEVER seen anyone put this feeling into words ,,,,, THANK YOU,,,,,, i struggled with this during all of my childhood and teen years but it got a lot better when i was around 20 (i have no clue what caused it to disappear, but maybe this can be a little glimpse of hope for you that it can go away and that you wont have to struggle with it forever)

It's the same thing but I've to close my eyes while staring at night bulb and then without thinking about anyone's faces I've to remember someone who's been good to me faces and if not I'll have to do it again It's getting better day by day though

Aw :( that sounds so unpleasant!
It's important to remind yourself that you're going to be okay.

YES THAT IS JUST BEING A PERFECTIONIST

Exactly.
It’s not: it makes me happy when things are nice and tidy
It is (example): I need to keep this clean, to help alleviate the thought that my family will get sick, suffer and die because of germs

Right Someone Needs To Tell The Kadashian/Jenner’s This

YES PEOPLE ROMANTICIZE DISORDERS LIKE THIS TOO MUCH, MY CONDITION ISN'T QUIRKY

LITERALLY I have recently been diagnosed with ocd and the thing is is that I can have my room a mess but when It comes to doing school It’s extremely bad and my friends where saying well if you have ocd your home has to be clean and I was like what

That would be really great
Since a lot of people think that’s not a real thing

And “I spent a day with people with Antisocial Personality Disorder”.

my boyfriend has that, especially with numbers. Whenever someone asks him "how many times did you try that?" "how many did you get?" etc, he will feel an extreme urge to say the wrong number and over-exaggerate. But often he will also just say a wrong number without even doing it on purpose

That would be a really interesting episode!

I might get my ex to reply! But no I think this would be hella interesting

My fiancee has had severe OCD since she was six years old...though she's lucky to have found medications that work (she takes a high dose of SSRIs and another medication that's prescribed for anxiety and OCD,) she literally goes through mental hell on the rare occasions I've seen her off her meds. I've seen her in fetal position, in tears, the one time she had to wait two days to get her OCD meds refilled. I hope you're able to find treatment that works wonderfully for you and eases your symptoms, and know you're never alone 💛

I remember feeling this way myself. I promise that (though hard) there are ways to overcome it❤️

I have both too! I was diagnosed OCD at 23 and ADHD at 32, I wish my adhd diagnosis had come earlier because I strongly believe that my OCD was exacerbated by my ADHD because my ADHD meds have helped calm down my intrusive thoughts massively.

Yes I have both as well! I also assume each feed into the other which is exhausting. Really feeling for everything struggling with this

me tooooo! i was diagnosed with both before i can remember lol

I have those both too!

Ive got OCD that makes me think im a horrible person. This might sound a little odd and dont read it if you hate existential stuff, but what helps me is realising what I actually am. Im not some perfect species, Im a very flawed and its normal to make mistakes. Ill live for about 80 years and then Ill never exist again, so why is it worth worrying. My time with OCD is limited to the time Im alive, so no matter what happens I wont have to worry eventually, so I should try to not worry as much while im here as one day I wont be.
It genuinely gives me some peace. Im not happy that Im going to die eventually or anything, but just realising that I will one day makes worrying feel pointless and helps me stop and just enjoy my life.

I so need this

I really need this

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the
same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the
morning after. So no hangovers. No
depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now
have a more calm mind

How can i find him? Is he on Instagram

And at that moment I knew i was gonna love this guy

What can I say :0
I'm Just vibin

@Katie Cramton as someone who also has it, here's a life changing tip: wear clothing that covers your skin more. It seems really simple but even just wearing long sleeves can help. A major site of picking for me is my hands and recently I got fingerless compression gloves and they are the best, it's much easier to control the urge to pick if you have to go through a whole process like taking off gloves or rolling up your sleeves to start doing it and it's easier to catch yourself then. Also, if you are comfortable with it, try telling someone you spend a lot of time with to stop you whenever they catch you picking. It doesn't feel good in the moment to get basically called out but it's one of the best tactics I've found. Good luck, I hope this helps you!

I dont hear many who do this but would this also be a form of it.. I pick my lips till they bleed and scab. Its so ugly.. I also pick the dead skin on my head. It got so bad a couple years back that I had a bald spot because i kept picking a scab.

This is terrible, but if I wear tennis shoes to work, by the time I get home, my feet will have been trapped with the moisture enough that the soles will be that whiteish color from the moisture... And I peel them like crazy, and then I have to bandage it up so the wounds don't get infected. And then I get the joy of walking around on the wounds the next day. Which, I don't like the pain, but it isn't enough of a deterrent to stop me from the peeling. And, I love my mom, but she has contributed to my feelings of shame regarding the situation. I know she wants what is best for me and for me to stop hurting myself, but it doesn't make me less likely to do it - it makes me more likely to do it in a way that hides the evidence. My friends know about it, and if they catch me picking, they will encourage me to stop, but they have never made me feel ashamed of it, and I love them so much.
The thing I am even more ashamed of, though, is that I also get the compulsion to collect things, and so I collect the peeled skin and hide it in a hidden spot, in old medicine containers.
It makes me feel like an absolute freak, but it is also so relieving that I haven't been able to find a way to stop myself from doing it.

Yes! Mine presents itself in many ways but one of them is Trichotillamania (obsessive hair pulling) and it’s made my life a living hell! I’ve always felt ugly because of it and though it’s under control, it still comes in spurts and I hate it!

I feel like I can relate but this never happens

I think it's important to remember: Hate the game, not the player. It's really hard not to use disabilities as metaphors. It's so integrated into our culture that it might take a while for things to heal. I make the mistake all the time too. We gotta try and be understanding of it, and kindly correct people who do it, or the message will be muddled.
Edit: grammar fix

Pffffft this guy wanted to ask me out once and I refused to respond to him until I finished my Rubik's cube. But the thought kept on distracting so I kept on messing up and starting again, still refusing to respond to him
I felt really bad for making him wait, just to friendzone him anyway. But my obsession of finishing the cube was too high
I haven't been diagnosed for OCD, ADHD/ADD but I definitely have a mix of them. I just haven't been diagnosed because in my culture therapy/mental illnesses prove that you are a defect

@@andrewcotter2036 Yes, I agree with you on some level. I always tell people nicely not to mention those types of things unless you know what you are talking about. I try to explain to them that it is serious. And to go around saying things like that just bother me.

Ahhhh, I hate it when people do this!
One of my friends does this with adhd.
Like, she says ‘Oh, I used 5 emojis! I feel like such a dumb adhd kid’
THATS A DIRECT QUOTE

it is a great personality trait if you want no friends and possiblity lose your job because you obsess about everyone hating you.

@@caelyn2873 being quirky is great ❤️

IKR

Toney can i ask you how many times did you go to therapy and did it help you a lot with your OCD?

I had a rough night last night. Doing ERP consistently, and I think it's making my mind more exposed to my fear of being the wrong gender.

@@owen3721 You know only like .01% of people are the “wrong gender?” The chances you’re one of them is very, very slim. The problem is, you’re being exposed to too much absolute nonsense and it’s confusing you. Go watch a Candace Owens video about transgenderism.

Yea

​@@owen3721 BRO HOLY SHIT SAME DUDE I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY

@@planetearth9471 OCD is what I call the "phantom" disorder, because it only feels "real" if you give it fuel by reasoning with it, interacting with it, trying to figure it out, etc. Basically, if you pretend that there's no problem, there won't be. In other words, tell yourself that it MIGHT be true, but don't try to know for sure that it's not.

Almost everyone will have a similar ocd to what I see everyone here talking about. It’s the most common cases it seems. I’d like to see him interviewing someone who has some of the worst levels of it. And how it affects their ability to maintain a job or peace of mind

Same with autism. A lot of autistic folks like having stuff organised. (not me, I am a chaotic autistic person, thanks adhd)
And people are like: I put my books in alphabetical order, I am so autistic.
No, you're not, you don't get a meltdown if your books aren't in order anymore (yes, this is generalised)

@@m.janski I am autistic and if everything isnt organised I cannot function

As someone who likes to advocate for mental disorders- thank you ❤ even if i dont have that disorder it deserves to be properly respected

Also OCD doesn't go with orginizing or tidyness. Like me verifying my door for minutes and getting back to it at the middle of the road and verifying every small administration things for minutes has nothing to do with orginizing

Yes!! As someone with ocd I hate how it’s portrayed as a “clean everything disease” because obsessiveness revolves around soooooo many things, being thoughts, whether something is clean enough or not... And for me, I obsessively wash my hands, and obsess over thoughts, but it makes me mad on how it’s misunderstood and marked as “a disorder where you want to clean everything “, because while people can obsessively clean things, ocd is so much more than cleaning things, I couldn’t agree more

Definitely! I have intrusive thoughts and excoriation disorder, but my house is a mess most of the time.

@@gomyminions ocd should be known as more than a stereotype making everything physically perfect, ocd is so much more

@@gomyminions and I agree, cleaning doesn’t apply to all people>< for me it applies to hand washing, usually when I clean my room it’s an act of self care and it’s not obsessive, like my hand washing and intrusive thoughts

@@hallowthepeach Same on the room thing, I have depression as well so it's really hard some days to organize my life, but when I get the will to clean the house it's because it gives me peace of mind for a minute, it feels like the organization outside softens the caos inside, but it's not related to the OCD. Hardly anyone I know understands so I feel seen lol

YESS PLEASEEE

I hope he does that🥲

And also one video about eating disorders would be great

hypochondria is usually coming from OCD.

ceiling repair guy after inventing anthony padilla: business is booming!

Very true. I felt that way many years ago (I have severe OCD and at that point in time it manifested as violent thoughts) and I was so scared out of my mind that I was evil! Until a psychologist said to me that the reason I had those thoughts was because I CARED so much, because I DIDN'T want it to happen.
I'm not quite sure if it's a downright scientific conclusion lol, but the psychologist said exactly what I needed to hear at the right time and a short while later, the thoughts disappeared :) (then a new toothbrush washing pattern started, because the anxiety wants out somehow, but it was much more manageable and less scary)

As someone with more mild ocd it always seems like the intrusive thoughts that seem the most horrible are the things I am most terrified to do, not things I want to do deep down

@@goudanuff6451 Yes, exactly! OCD often feeds on the fact that we are moral people who don't want to cause harm.

@@Ali-kf5bd stay strong out there champ

@@goudanuff6451 Thank you. Same to you ❤

Im so sorry they said that. You‘re valid and amazing.

Wow I’m so sorry. I have OCD too and I’ve been told similar things...

I dealt with something similar at my last job. My managers would come to me specifically to organize stuff because they knew I have OCD and it would always look really nice when I was done. I told them several times that that kind of thing takes me a lot longer to do, and when I have to stop for any reason before I’m done, it’s extremely triggering for me. They still did it, and I felt pretty used. Not cool when people do stuff like that.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that

My entire family says that. Nobody knows what OCD is and how much of a burden it is

@Sadie Turner Thank you very much! I will try my best to help her navigate her daily life dealing with this, and I will hopefully help her. Be safe out there

It is good that you recognize now that your need to support your friend. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you just didn’t understand before. Your support can go a long way in helping her now. Maybe you can encourage her to tell her doctor, school counselor or some trusted adult so she can get help. Even just having her watch this video can help her realize she’s not alone.

I imagine it like having an itch the more you ignore it the more annoying it gets, but you can scratch it. So, a simple irrational thought which is easily taken care of by a silly action, only the more you do that the more thoughts you get and the more the action seems necessary.

You're such a great friend for wanting to help her. If she needs help getting a dr or meds hope you can support her in talking to her family

You should tell her family for her to get checked out so she can see she has ocd

It’s good you’re supportive of him, so many people aren’t when people they are in relationships with have mental disorders. 👍

Thank you for being understanding of what he's going through and loving him ni matter what 💖

@@Jackjackspice He deserves the world in my eyes.

Now it would still hamper and impair me Many ways. But, eventually I can learn to use it to my benefit sometimes.

I didn't know you had OCD! I love your channel, I've been watching for years. I hope you're doing well during these crazy times

they always think its about being clean and washing ur hands and thats it as someone with OCD its so annoying because its so different

Your channel is amazing~ you're so meticulous with your beautiful dolls, I am sorry to hear you suffer from OCD.

Also when people are just like oh I have a little ocd drives me fuckin nuts

Just about to write it

He should interview that person lol.

I desperately want to know how he films that

@@shaliekk same

JESUS AND GOD BLESS YOUU. I’m currently experiencing the same thing with religious ocd.

It's said that the thoughts often target what we really value and what's the most important to us.

OCD is technically an anxiety disorder so it could be both. I wouldn’t say people saying they’re “so OCD” for organizing are self-diagnosing though since real self-dx involves a lot of research and evaluation

I think it's fine to self diagnose if you genuinely fit the criteria.. But alot of people don't actually know anything about criteria, they just throw around terms like "bipolar" when someone gets mad and "ocd" when they aline a few objects. It's all alot more than that. Self diagnosis is a good tool, in my opinion, as someone with 6 diagnosed mental illnesses and suspected undiagnosed autism. It can be useful in understanding your behaviors and working on them with certain skills.. But just willy nilly claiming you have something without researching it and seeing how it applies to your life is offensive and is often innacurate. Being organized and neat doesn't mean you have OCD, but spending hours a day cleaning and it almost never being good enough, getting angry when someone else doesn't clean / leave things exactly how they had it because it causes extreme emotional distress, may very well imply ocd. just some habit of being organized, though? Not OCD.

@@flandin_ um what? Nobody said you did..don’t be rude please. My edit: and just because you don’t suffer doesn’t mean others are the same. People are different, so do not invalidate someone else’s problems simply because you don’t feel the way they do.

flandin_ think about what u say before u speak I have ocd and this is exactly what he was talking about people don’t see inside there thoughts it’s just the outside

@@flandin_ your OCD is different from mine. And mine is different from every person's in this video. Just because YOU don't suffer doesn't mean I don't. You have no right to dictate how i talk about what i experience. If you want to talk about yours then write your own comment.

@@flandin_ Hey, even though I myself don’t suffer from OCD, I know it’s a hard thing for others, and saying that it’s “not that bad” really devalues the efforts of the people who have to deal with it. Please don’t say such insensitive things about something you don’t understand.

I could’ve sworn there was a community post for ARFID (which is what I have) and I would’ve loved to talk about that one

Congratulations on your recovery!

This is just so me

Hi there I hate to hear what u have gone thru and ur daily constant struggles that never goes away. I never in a billion yrs would I thought someone can actually have the same exact fear factors intrusive thinking and depression. Do u mind sharing with me ways or what helps u. I have no one that could possibly understand relate or even comprehend a si gle thing nor gain some knowledge and awareness to get insight. I'm so drained living is exhausting and I cry all the time cuz I'm angry with no legit resources

I can really empathise with this and I've been struggling with what my psych likes to call "obsessive compulsive tendencies" ever since I was a kid. I really hate her because she doesn't treat me like a human and completely invalidates me. I really want to know if I actually have ocd or not because I get really bad intrusive thoughts about faking my disorders that will not leave my head:( I have other symptoms too and I've been researching about ocd since towards the start of last year but I've convinced myself I'm making this up and if I am I'm so sorry I don't want to self-diagnose I'm so sorry if i offended you or anything:(

I do most of this ....

I struggle with this aswell, it gets in the way of my sleep, please know you aren’t alone

my mom and sister have that to

im not diagnosed w ocd by all means but i do this and i get worried that god will get upset w me over certain things and i ask for forgiveness a few times a day but i’m pretty sure it’s religious paranoia for me

I have religious ocd too, it sucks.

this is exactly what I have. I never see it get enough attention. Stay strong.

I'm actually the opposite I have OCD symphtoms that are against mostly Cristianity and any kind of God in general, though I also have many other types of obsessions and compulsions. My antireligious part of my OCD comes from past trauma and I kind of consider myself a Satanist. However I have friends who are Christians and I usually don't judge people based on religion. Just don't talk to me about god and stuff like that and we can get along just fine.

People use it as an adjective far too often and it’s really damaging as to educating people for what the disorder actually is

@@marypoppins4617 same I have a lot of people saying do you have OCD and I'm like no that's not what OCD is im just a perfectionist

People use perfectionist to easily as well, a perfectionist normally isn’t necessarily someone who needs things to be super tidy and neat or anything but instead some1 who is extremely self aware and consequently self conscious. Somebody who holds them self to an extreme standard, going as far to critic themselves for wanting to achieve that standard and be perfect as often their idea of perfect is some1 who doesn’t care about being perfect. Being a true perfectionist is a vicious cycle of self loathing and awareness of skill level. You always want to show your best because you don’t want people underestimating your talent or you don’t want people thinking you don’t care about some1 or something. Often perfectionist will be people you might not expect, almost all perfectionist are big procrastinators and probably hate themselves for it because the reason they are avoiding doing something is because they are scared they won’t be able to do it to a standard they can accept. It’s subtle, brutal and all encompassing - often leading to or paired with eating disorders, depression and anxiety

@@marypoppins4617 hi. I may not be the best to ask but i do know from psychology class that perfectionism can trigger anxiety sometimes. And how to educate 🤔🤔 i would recommend maybe gathering information and show the differences about it as perfectionism is considered a personality trait and not a disorder
I hope it helped if not i apologie

@@sadthumb6633 i agree to that too

What do you fear will happen to you (or someone you care about) if you don't perform the task?

@@OKBoomer2k To be honest it kind of ranges. It can be something happening that's just the most minor of inconveniences or something truly awful like death. Or sometimes even the strange, "I'm doing this to prevent /something/," even if I'm not quite sure what that something is so it gets me in that mindset of "better safe than sorry." And it can also be entirely situational for me too, like if I'm particularly anxious about something going on the OCD behaviors just feel more intense and the "this will happen if you don't" can end up feeling more dire. But that's just my personal experience with it.

If I remember correctly, the majority of psychopaths are non-violent - like *very* few are actually violent. It sucks that they get such a bad reputation because of things like tv shows and whatnot😕 (Also interesting that you mentioned it! Hope Anthony sees it🤓)

I didn’t think psychopath was a diagnosis
I thought it was called antisocial personality disorder

@KILEI LACEY
I googled it and idk where you’re getting your info from cause what I see is that you can only be diagnosed with it at 18 and psychopath isn’t an official diagnosis so I’m a little confused here

@KILEI LACEY antisocial personality disorder is the only official name for the disorder. if you don't believe me, i suggest you check the DSM-5. please don't spread misinformation. psychopathy is not a real diagnosis, regardless of what age you are

@@sugakookies8063 Ikr, sociopaths too. They are able to, and mostly do live normal lives. They've got self restraint.

the funny thing is, i would be like, "no dw hahaha i dont have ocd"! and it was just my ocd telling me i didnt have ocd and then there would be times i would be like "okay no i need help" and then the next month i'd be back to trying to reassure myself i did not have a disorder lol

Thank you sooo much for saying that's not what it is to them

Ikr symmetry obsessions is only sometimes

for me it doesn’t have anything to do with being clean at all so thank you for saying this

I don't know if you'll still see/reply to this comment but I wanted to ask if your Mom having an ocd has affected the way she treats you as her daughter, do you also have a hard time? What are some situations that makes it harder for you to understand how she feels? So sorry if this came out weird, I just really needed to ask.

yes! I describe it like an addiction bc when an obsession is coped with a compulsion it alleviates your stress and you know if you give in to your compulsion it would relieve your anxiety.

"oh i'm such a neat freak, i for SURE have ocd" i hate when people glamorize it and say things like that smh

Same I’m so glad it’s been more in depth explained it’s so much more to it then people realize and really hard to deal with

Nah cause who 😂 this shit SUCKS

It's not true though, people with OCD show up in a myriad of ways not in a myriad of degrees

Yup hes like a god send

Yeah he’s amazing

I mean he got a shoutout for it in rewind

We always do that

Everyone is doing that on all of his videos. Thats the whole purpose of his videos...

I saw it in the Community tabs! It may be coming soon 👀

@@lykhra2178 oo yes

I'd be down to participate fr, I love to see it

it’s coming soon!

as someone who had severe adhd i don’t think he should as it really isn’t that unique it’s a very common thing

Can you explain ADHD cause I feel like my little sister might have it she gets distracted very easily I would be talking to her and she would get distracted she also has a lot of trouble in school she’s always getting distracted and zones out I don’t completely know what ADHD is but can you tell me

THIS! People think it’s all attention & SQUIRREL but the exhaustion it can take mentally & physically & all of the other symptoms are MUCH more relevant than “attention”. I feel like ADHD causes minor OCD, definitely anxiety, depression & many other disorders. I would send in an ESSAY to Anthony & crew to describe my experiences with it.

@@GirlConner Hi OTA here! ADHD does play a part in all of these disorders. ADHD is most primarily linked with anxiety because of inability to relax, difficult paying attention, and sometimes persistent negative thoughts. It’s also tied into sleep disorders, dyslexia, substance abuse, BPD, and autism!

I just posted this lmao. also so many people think it's just fidgeting which it's not.

@@berlincastro107 ADHD is most commonly known as not being able to focus, constantly moving/ fidgeting so in simple terms.. hyperactivity. It’s also being VERY forgetfulI but everyones adhd is different so i really recommend watching “ADHD in girls” by How To ADHD. As a girl with ADHD it’s extremely accurate but there also some other things I should tell you about ADHD because it’s usually not talked about. ADHD ties in with other illnesses like autism, tourettes or just tics (movements or sounds you can’t stop doing even if you want too, which sucks btw) insomnia or irregular sleeping patterns, eating disorders (most common with girls is BED, where we eat excessively) theres also a very high chance of depression and anxiety etc.

You clearly do haha

@@davidlindsay6274 si

Literally everyone: Hmmmm.... chile, anyways...

I want to like this but it's at 420 mmmmmmmmmmm

maybe those that have already recovered? i know that people with anorexia/bulimia nervosa (maybe any eating disorder) can be really into body checking and being enabled in a youtube video might be a bit harmful. Just my thoughts!

@@clutterlilly agree!

I volunteer for this one!!!

@@clutterlilly I volunteer for this. I've recovered, relapsed, recovered, etc. I'm in a stable place now for sure, I'm at a healthy weight and I can look at older pictures of myself without wanting to look that skinny again. I would be honored to talk about it

Im not sure how he could talk about this without it sounding bad though. what questions would there be?

wow, i’m so sorry. you deserve someone who can truly help you. i always had trouble opening up to therapists because my thoughts were so awful

Or try a different therapist that’s shitty, ocd is no fucking joke when your in it’s grasps

hearing "we all have a little [serious disability/disorder]" is the most annoying and hurtful thing you can ever hear, and to imagine a therapist telling me that makes me so angry. im so sorry you had to go through that

that’s a really shitty therapist. i’ve been there - you should try finding one who specializes in ocd

@@pompill Exactly! find one who specializes in OCD. Good advice, Leo!

You mean pronouns

Luke: I have no pronouns. Please do not refer to me

Tbh if you don't wanna be referred by pronouns then oki it doesn't matter

Dead ass thought you said patronus...

@@messibessi11 💀💀

Same, I used to be the same way when I was a little kid. I’d constantly have thoughts about something bad happening if I don’t do something like 15 times or something. It literally went on every day all day. There was no resting from it unless I was asleep. For years. I grew out of it somehow though. I don’t remember how but I still did! As bad as it was, I still healed from it. Good luck boo, you can do it even though it’s hard as hell. Im not even sure if what I had was OCD but now that I’m watching this and reading comments, it sounds like OCD.

I have both OCD and anxiety and yeah I can confirm there’s an overlap with quite a few of the symptoms. Sometimes I struggle to know whether a symptom I’m experiencing is due to my anxiety or my OCD. But then again, although you can have anxiety separately too, I’m pretty sure it’s also considered a symptom as OCD. Anxiety’s interesting because it can be both a disorder and a symptom of over disorders. It can kinda go hand in hand with quite a few other mental illnesses.

I have anzity OCD and ADD and a bit of Depresson im just a hot reck

So I don’t think I have ocd but when I was little, I had three different things I told myself I had to do in order to keep my parents from fighting. One thing was I couldn’t touch anything that was the color red. The second thing was I couldn’t say the number three or things couldn’t be in groups of three. The third one was if I touched something with my left hand, I had to immediately touch that same thing with my right hand

A lot of kids have those symptoms so please don’t worry... ‘Normal’ people can always have something that seems ocd but it is obviously not. Anxiety and ocd are quite close so it’s possible to get small hints here and there

YES

PLEASE!

YES PLEASE

Yes yes yes yes yes

what is it?

Oooh that sounds really cool! There's an email you can send suggestions for videos officially (in the description). That might be if you want to be in the video you're proposing, though. I'm not 100% sure but I think he should definitely do an episode on derealization/depersonalization.

Yes please I have this and I really wanna hear other people's experiences

Correct me if im wrong, but aren't those usually symptoms of different mental health issues. So if he did that it'd just me a mix of people with different mental health issues since usually people don't just have depersonalization and derealization

@@ihavetopowerofgodandanimeo2551 in no way am i a professional, but based on my own research, its usually the body’s way of dealing with, for most, anxiety and panic attacks. But for some, including myself, it can feel like an issue just within itself. Some other topics he covered also stem from other mental health issues as well but I completely understanding what youre saying. I just wanted it to be covered because im learning more and more people suffer from it just like me and it would be great to see others talking about it especially with him

I have this and it’s a symptom of my anxiety and depression but many people don’t understand how it feels so they look at me like I’m crazy when I say that I feel like I’m on autopilot or I feel like I’m looking through a tunnel or feel like I’m in a dream like state. It’s scary for me and I completely agree that the world needs to understand this form of dissociating better.

My mom always says “omg I’m having ocd rn” stuff like that she only says it at the house not around ppl

What should I use? Just curious. I'm not really a clean freak, but there's some things I just need to fix

@@DrNero7435 you could describe yourself as meticulous maybe. There’s hundreds of words in the English language and ocd should be used as an adjective bc it simply is not : )

@@spaceoddity3982 Just looked up meticulous and that fits really well! Thank you

@@DrNero7435 awesome! Glad I could help

For anyone curious: “Pure O” is a misleading nickname because it *looks* like only obsessions (intrusive thoughts/images/urges or fears) are present, but the compulsions are mental and honestly it is hell to deal with especially because a lot of my fears (if not all) have to do with morality and the fear of seriously harming people.

@@sydneyw7375 same here, it's a living hell, I don't even have a hope my ocd can ever stop anymore, I just wish the intrusive thoughts would transform into something less disturbing...

@@sydneyw7375 I have both mental and physical compulsions, would that mean both pure o and ocd? something else? or just ocd?

This ❤️ It truly is terrible. I get paralyzed in fear from my intrusive thoughts and obsessing over every single thought. And trying to get things done without obsessing over them

I have ADHD bipolar type Ii with pure o ocd it is a nightmare. Though treatment had been going well. But it comes and goes :( some weeks are better than others

I was literally thinking the same thing lol

HAHAHAHAHAA! Love that.

Yeah I was an actual child in 2015.

Is perfectionism a mental disorder?

True, but perfectionism is also misunderstood often.

Yeah it is!

Thank u. I don't feel like ppl take me seriously when I say I have several OCDs. They're like oh yeah cool. Like they don't think it is anything.

@@Elvings92 Can be. It can be a part of OCD. The difference is often anxiety. Perfectionism is mostly about enjoyment of having a clean place. someone with OCD perfectionism would clean to not get an anxiety attack

I would enjoy learning about this more

And Dyspraxia omg

Oh my gosh Yes. It’s so misunderstood!!!!

Little fact, dyslexics actually make up about 5-15% of the US population. 14.5 to 43.5 MILLION people have this disorder. My boyfriend is also someone whom has it. People still have constant misconceptions about it all the time yet dyslexia has a coined term for 130+ years. Dyslexics happen to be some of the smartest people out there.

@@elledowling267 YES PLS OMG- I have that and no-one ever talks about it!!

What ya wanna know

@@rainbowdeathhearts1466 what’s your favourite condiment?

Yes! With Caitlin Doughty!

Damn, that sounds very not-fun :/ I hope you’re doing alright despite the circumstances, or at least that you have a good support network if you’re not

Me too. It's honestly so exhausting.

Covid has a death rate of 0.02%,max...

@@Unholyspirit ok and that still means people die, I honestly could give 2 shits less about covid but I wear a mask and social distance because my irresponsible actions could cause someone to die

@@Unholyspirit and 9/11 killed .0000002% of people. Your point?

good for u! been dealing with it as long as I remember... sometimes I just wanna die like run into a car or drown in the sea. peaceful but I guess Im too afraid to do it

The intrusive thoughts are HORRIBLE! Nobody talks about how gruesome and gross they can truly be!
