What things help you with your OCD? 👍🏻👍🏻

[unknownarc]

anybody that suffers from OCD, you have my heart. We are not alone, and we will be happy.

[peanutbutterandjellysandwi]

OCD is seriously an uncontrollable monster in our head with many more cons than pros

[wolvesgirl]

It's always scary when the thoughts come back and I always feel so guilty. This helped a little bit. Thank you.

[khaledali]

I was almost tearing up while watching this because what you said at the beginning of the video hit right at home. As an OCD sufferer, I can’t help but to research solutions when my anxiety hit its peak. I’m glad I found this video, as it was super informative and beneficial. I’m doing my best to conquer this demon, and not let it stop me for achieving great things. I’ve got nothing to lose. Thank you so much for sharing these tips!

I suffered from severe obsessive compulsive disorder 2016 to June 2021. Changing my mind, how I lived my life, watching helpful YouTube videos, reading books about OCD, refocusing on my happiness, doing something important helped me. I'm good and healed now. I didn't discover this channel until this year.

For people struggling with OCD you can heal and recover. You can overcome OCD. It takes time, will power, discipline, hope, a consistent plan, and taking action. I never thought I would be good again. And I'm good now.

Hey anyone reading I just wanted to put this comment out there as I don’t usually comment on videos. OCD is horrific and so incredibly hellish, if you’re going through some bad times just know it will get better. Coming from somebody who had been suffering silently for 2 years over the pandemic, seeking help is your 2nd step for recovery as the 1st for me at least was finding out I had OCD and look where we are, well done 😂.The reasoning behind my OCD was because of the pandemic, whilst also my sister was diagnosed with anorexia at the very start, but she’s now recovering after 2 years thank god. Whatever you’re going through has absolutely nothing to do with you and is just OCD reflecting your deepest fears. Don’t give into the compulsions and don’t feed the thought any of your time. After being on medication for about 3 months I have noticed a significant lift in mood and just a more positive outlook on life. Please just know that it WILL get SO much better as life is to short to be worried away.

I'm 32, have OCD from childhood, and it only got much worse. Sometimes just want to end life so I can stop suffering. This video is really helpful and gives hope.

[IDoubleJ]

Didn't discover this guy until this year. I suffered from severe OCD 2016 to June 2021. I'm healed and much better now. If you are suffering like I was, you can overcome this. If your mind is powerful enough to create these illusions your mind is powerful enough to destroy them.

My fears and worries are all my imagination. They are not reality. They don't exist in reality. Everything in life is temporary. I have to do something important and meaningful with my life before I die.

[cenecasful]

I wish I could explain my OCD to my family better. I think I always want their approval and as I uncover having OCD I wish I had their support. I’m 37. Thanks for sharing this video 💚

[titusbrutus]

Made me cry this one. So difficult to get through these fears but you are right. Especially with facing the fear that is most scariest. As bad as it is it will really help for you to face it! Thanks!

[seamstress]

Very good tips. What helps me with my OCD prob. the most is sitting with the anxiety, which is also very painful but worth it in the end.

[nil.]

Two years ago OCD started to take a toil on me. I was 21 back then and a very different person. Looking back it seems like I have most definitely been suffering from OCD my whole life. It was just that OCD found a very sneaky and scary way to get to me. And from then on I seem to unlock a new fear every new year. It is almost like the themes seem to exponentially become scarier and harder to handle. This year in January I had no idea that the next two months would be horrible. I was crying my eyes out each night and hating myself. Three months later and I finally know what I am dealing with. I am so glad I dared to do some research read articles and see a professional. However, even with help it is really hard sometimes. You just want it to disappear. I have bad days and videos like these really help.

[huongnguyen-xdsq]

I’m crying right now as after I was watching it. I don’t feel lonely and being alone anymore. It feels like a hand show up pull me up when I’m in the quicksand right now.
Thank you so much for these ocd treatment videos. I’ll make a schedule and fight and deal with my ocd.
I’ve been ocd diagnose for 10 years. It was so bad then I got better and now it came back to me severely nearly 1 month ago after a shock in feelings. I have ocd and anxiety complex with lots of ocd symptoms

[cryptogrind]

I've decided to write all of these steps down so it will be easier for me and the others to remember them.All of that is super helpful. Personally I really wasn't sure about step 4 but seems like it's working. Thanks :))

[naveensundar]

Bro i love you literally you are helping millions of people I wish I could get a hug from you and hear the word it will be alright

[TheJJDaily]

For years i believed my ocd was a side-effect of my anxiety and never realized it was the opposite until I found this channel.

[haeleighmoore]

My treatment has been so hard, I'm 17 and my Dad isn't involved or aware I'm getting help because he doesn't support therapy. Doing this alone is so hard, doing exposures alone for therapy homework is a catastrophe haha

[tommywong]

Hi there, I am 26 and i had OCD since I was 8. I found it really feels like "normal" if I accept those thought. The more "open" of my mind to "outside", the more relaxing i feel. I feel like i am doing well to handle this situation.

[LetJesusTouchUrLife]

WOW this video helped me immensely. Especially the "Avoid safe places and non-safe places", and "Accept the risk", and "Don't seek reassurance", all of which I do so that I don't have to deal with the anxiety that comes with OCD thoughts. I will not do these things anymore. I will work on myself. I am currently getting treatment with NOCD and my therapist is wonderful. I feel so grateful and so blessed to know you guys exist. THANK YOU FOR THIS AND FOR ALL YOU DO
