I’m crying right now I’m happy someone understands how I’ve been feeling

[mr.x]

As an OCD sufferer I sure love times people have an easy time thinking I can just snap out of it and have told me to do so seemingly without realizing that’s a lot like telling a deaf person to listen harder.

'This is your life now' sums it up nicely

There's no way to understand OCD without actually suffering it.

I recently started dating a guy with OCD. I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder and am a behavioral health nurse, but I don't know what it's like to suffer from OCD. This video was extremely helpful. Thank you.

This is the best and most impactful video that I have seen; especially due to it’s brevity to help my mother and father as well as the rest of my family start to begin to understand and appreciate the hell that is my suffocating OCD and, how it impacts my life every single waking second of the day! Sincerely thank you so very much for making this phenomenal video and tool to help all of those greatly suffering with the hell on earth that is OCD! God Bless you sir and anyone struggling with OCD as well as everyone else!

I LIMIT MY CAFFEINE AND MAKE MYSELF EVERYDAY EXERCISE...I TRY TO SLEEP WHENEVER I CAN.. IM IMPROVING BUT THE STRUGGLE IS SO REAL

[mikeyerian]

[revan]

I literally cannot stress enough how incrediuble this experiment is

[firstcoffeeoftheday]

So hard not to cry at the end of this video for someone dealing with OCD . I hope everyone has loving and supportive people around them

I’ve been suffering from OCD for the past 10 years or so and it’s really making it difficult to enjoy life I constantly find things on a daily basis that cause me anxiety and stress, I’ve tried medication, I’ve tried CBT I don’t know how to improve it, the only time i get peace from my thoughts is when I’m asleep

[DovZeev]

It's not that I don't want to understand what it's like, but I would like to know why some do not seek the latest treatments and instead continue to put their family and friends in that dilemma: if I push, then you'll founder; if I do nothing, you take over.

[EmsLionheart]

Great start trying to help loved ones understand 🕊

[andresalvarez]

Love this. I spent a few minutes looking for a video in Spanish that could help me explain OCD to my family, and couldn't find one. The amount of disinformation is crazy... I guess they will be watching this one with Spanish subtitles. Thank you

[alexskywalker]

I only wrote "I want mom" and then you said what else to write and I refused to write the rest. I erased what I wrote after you finished the video. I cannot write that. I refuse. I love my mom and I would never want that to happen to her. I understand this exercise is how to make us understand. It's interesting. I'm researching OCD cuz of my brother

[ryk]

Sounds like a good exercise, simple and effective.

[verydenise]

This is very good. Thank you. I have ocd.

[deborahalana]

Jesus Christ im doing this exercise to understand my partner for a week and its already excruciating

[AndrewThompson-zhet]

I have ADHD; and do not understand this at all. Now that it's in my wallet, what do I do with it? Am I implicating myself, if something horrible should happen?!? This video is entirely too short, and explains extremely little, if anything at all.

[Cmadhu-iuwu]

Hi is there any solution for OCD staring? Please help me
