I have been diagnosed with extreme ocd, and lemme tell y'all, this is too accurate. It's like little voices telling you what to do, and you can't argue or disagree with it. :-:

OCD doesn’t mean that your neat and organized. OCD is a illness. It also gives many intrusive thoughts. Maybe 10% for people wanting to kill themselves for that

[Dizzyfrog]

I ALWAYS think something bad will happen if I do regular daily activities and work- 😭

[SpicyPisces]

Thanks for sharing! OCD can look so different for everyone. I have OCDand anxiety, and for me, that means mentally reviewing situations where I believe I did something wrong until I figure out if I did or not.

Hey, this is my eyesight of OCD. And it makes me feel so bad, I’m not talking about double checking in the house or being obsessed with cleaning. I usually say to my self if you don’t do that your mom will die or your dog will die if you don’t get up. And it makes me cry. And I usually run up to my mom and cry to her. And whenever she goes out I overthink it by saying “I hope her car wouldn’t crash”or when she goes to the hair salon “I hope there won’t be an shooter there.” 😔 I seriously think this will keep on going every time, until I die. I don’t know if this is OCD but whenever I hear like an sad music it gives me weird vibe/feeling. And I think/dream about my family members and dog dying. 😔🙁 I hope god changes my mind. I wish that every sad things in the world would disappear and i would never have to worry about it ;)

IM GETTING SO AMGRY RIGHT NOW!!! PEOPLE *NEED* TO LEARN THAT OCD ISNT BEING A PERFECTONIST AND CLEAN FREAK. THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS. I HAVE OCD MYSELF. ITS A COMPLETLEY DIGFERENT THING....

OCD Is when you get impultions that you HAVE to do otherwise you will get intrusive thoughts and anxiety or even depression. And for me, these intrusive thoughts, even led up to me attempting suicide because i wanted a better life and i wanted to live a normal life like everybody else without having to deal with my OCD.
Thats what OCD actually is. But most people still mistake it for this.

OCD needs to be taken way more seriously and people just need to learn what it really is.

OCD occurs when you overthink and take life too seriously...just let life go and continue..

I’ve seen many people with OCD, but let me share my story. So maybe if you are wondering if you have it or maybe you are looking for the signs, here you are!

So basically for me, I get these tendencies. What I mean is I get this thought in my head like, tap the green circle or something bad will happen. And it’s like an urge I can’t resist.

Another thing I experience is intrusive thoughts or unwanted thoughts. Basically just like repeated pictures or words in my head that aren’t pleasant, and won’t go away.

Next is kind of like overthinking. Once I get something stuck in my head, it’s stuck in there for a while and it won’t go away. For example, someone says something like, “Oh giraffes are blue, ” or something idk, I’d research that and keep thinking about it for a while.

Lastly is organization. Now, I feel like this is all people think OCD is, and it’s really not. But I feel the need to organize and keep things neat I have a tendency to do so. Also, not really apart of this category, but I do excessively wash my hands because I don’t want to get sick or I worry about it a lot.

Well I hoped that helped you, and remember: ⚠️ THIS IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS TOOL, PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE THIS!⚠️

This is so real!!! Having OCD is such a particular experience... Everyone has a different experience to share, and I created my channel to be a safe place for women to share their anxiety stories. 🧡

I have OCD and I’m not that tidy, but at school I will do everything to keep clean, I’m super scared of getting sick and EVERYTIME someone knocks my book when walking past I immediately put it back and it takes me 20 minutes to put it back into the position it was before and my classmates think I’m WEIRDD. At home I will spend 3 hours sitting on the floor with thoughts.

[turntopage]

and then there's when you put a plate in the sink without washing it thinking someone else will do it, but then the little voice in your head says "what if something bad happens to someone else when they're washing your plate" and you just can't disagree with that so you run back to wash it.

My OCD always say to me that-"My loved ones will be die if I don't punch in the wall "

[lilsunflowerart]

Thank you so much!!! I've actually personally struggled with both of those and much more. OCD isn't a joke and it's something that more people need to learn to respect and understand.

The way you stopped the microwave timer on the number I obsess over tho 💀

[EliseSlaysTheday]

I used to have super bad OCD. Every day I would constantly fear that if i didnt do this 5 times or smthin my dog would die or somthing like that (it was alot worse but im not going to say) round last year I found Jeusus and my life has changed forever!!
But to everyone out there who has super BAD ocd like me your not alone <33

[RiaTheWitch]

I think I have ocd bc a lot of the time I have to do equal steps on both feet or “something bad will happen” and my brain always makes tasks like “U CANT BREATH UNTIL U PUT SOMETHING ON THE TV” and belive it or not I actually do it. Or when I’m in the car I’m always like “you can only blink if u can see NO green.”

[-br]

OMG I GET THE "something bad will happen if you don't do this" AND THE CONTAMINATED BUT WITH POOLS

[ChickenNugget]

This is so real. I feel like I have not extreme but somewhat bad OCD. I can’t eat fish or seafood because my brain yelled me I’ll get food poisoning and die.

[SomeoneNot_Known]

I'm don't have my diagnosis yet, so i'm not sure if i have it but i experience this and also unintentional thoughts/ impulsive thoughts that i can't control, sometimes even disgusting ones

I find it difficult to stop watching a video unless it ends at a specific minute, or to close a reel if it has a certain number of likes that I don’t find acceptable. I feel compelled to choose videos that have "good numbers." Additionally, I frequently check to ensure that I haven't accidentally liked a post or sent a request to someone, doing this repeatedly many, many times.
