I have ocd, mixed thoughts and acts.

Wow! Thank you so much for this dokumentarisk! Such a wonderful overview and insight to what OCD can be for different people.🙏🌸

My fellow OCD sufferers. I have had it for 40 years. I understand you. The living hell. The unending mental torture. The life destruction. I understand you. Unfortunately life teaches us that in some ways we cannot understand others unless we suffer from their disabilities or mental issues. It is not understood except by doctors or other sufferers . Let us support and empathize with each other. The road through Earthly hell is a path many of us have walked. Our mental strength and determination exceeds those of mere mortals. Mere mortals.

I wanted to see on the comments about sexual ocd and how it makes you doubt ypur integrity. You don't want to have sexual thpights abpig all people and things though you know they are not urges pr real and you repeat them to make sure you're not aroused by them and you' are not but you need to check over and over again.

Hearing what all these people think OCD is made me so sad. It’s one of the most debilitating psychological disorder is known to man next to schizophrenia and severe autism. When you combine OCD with all of the other disabilities and disorders that people tend to have, it can become one of the most majorly debilitating parts of your diagnosis. OCD takes over your whole life. Things you never even thought had anything to do with. It turned out to be completely because of it. One of the guys in the video said everybody has it. That’s just straight nonsense. Because he thinks that means you’re a clean freak. That’s when I started to cry.

This is really interesting & for me, very relatable, so much so, that my heart goes out to each person with OCD that took part in this documentary. As someone with severe OCD, I want everyone who doesn't understand to know & to appreciate, that I didn't "choose" to be this way, I just "am". I know it's something within my brain & it's seemingly weird power over me & over every thought that I have. I feel that if I don't do what my mind tells me to do, to protect myself in various ways, then something bad will happen to me or to someone I care about & love. I feel I must do what I have to do, even if it takes me forever, which it so often does & even if it gets me into trouble via poor time management. My OCD takes up so much of my day, my time & my energy. I really am quite sick of it & I want to make some serious & positive changes going forward, otherwise I know, that I won't live the best quality of life that I potentially could. My time management has been greatly affected because of my OCD & most of my nearest & dearest wouldn't have a clue what's going on & I've often thought, that not even those with OCD in my family would fully understand "my" form of OCD. It is a serious and repetitive ritual and if my train of thought is interrupted, I feel doubly or triply troubled and stressed & then, I can take even longer to get things done & my mood may also change from calm to irrational and I become overly sensitive and touchy. Interestingly however, when I must work, my OCD is @ it's lowest & weakest point, albeit, it's always present, akin to being on "standby". When I have structure in my life & when I have genuine/known responsibility, I do quite well, if not very well, but @ other times, I'm very up & down OCD wise. OCD although ritualistic, doesn't always have to be in 100% exact order for me, or indeed for everyone. OCD does vary from person to person, so too, their personal OCD patterns & rituals surrounding those patterns. No two people are exactly the same in this instance. I know I had some really stressful times growing up & I believe this may have been an early trigger factor, but I also think it's more so hereditary within my family, as I've observed a few other family members who've also got varying forms of OCD. IMPO, I think it's really sad, when others poke fun, make a mockery of, tease, taunt, etc;. IMPO, I think they do this, because they have wee to no idea, as to how serious OCD can be & is for it's personal sufferers. It's so easy to laugh off or laugh @, what we do not fully understand. What I can say is this. If anyone that doesn't have OCD, did suffer from OCD, then they'd never utter anything negative regarding OCD, because @ that moment, they'd know the exact feeling & they'd come to understand what living with OCD is like. I've lived with OCD most of my life, but with current treatment & some personal support & encouragement, I've already made some positive progress, but although it's early days yet, I still have a long ways to go. I do hope that through watching such documentaries & because of more discussion pertaining to OCD & general mental health issues, that more & more people with OCD, will come forward & talk about their personal experiences. Then hopefully, they'll go & talk with their GP & ask for help, because there is help/support out there, but all we have to do, is to make the first move and seek that help. Thanks for sharing this very valuable documentary with the world.

For me, my environment must be calm and I must be in control, otherwise it feels as though my world and my life's out of total control. Only other OCD sufferers will completely understand what I'm saying here. It really is that personal & can only be tapped into by shared experiences.

Obsessive cleaning is Obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Pure ocd is different it is Obsessive compulsive disorder. It is about intrusive thoughts triggered by a virus. Streptococcus causes turrets which is about tics and ocd. People get lyme disease or a similar virus called morgellons, the spirochetes alter your mind and viruses do that anyway. Fungal candida is known to send messages to your brain telling you to eat sugar chocolate. The candida thrivesvon sugar and chocolate. The virus or fungal overgrowth comes first then the ocd. A person already eith ocd from a previous fungal infection or virus , will have ocd but as soon as they get morgellons, the people in charge of medical mafia will tel, the drs to say the morgellons is a dellusional fantasy illness from ocd sufferers, but dome people get ocd after the bug bite which caused morgellons. After not before. That is because it is a fungal viral infection. The drs refuse to look at the evidence under a dermascope. They had the same attitude to AIDS, so why are they blaming the patient of every new virus every time? Work it out.

Apologies for hogging the comments but wanted to add that procrastination is a big part of o.c.d.

That one girl mentioned she has to rub door going in? Yes, I tap the last 2 steps when going down

Yes, we can't get out of our head, once when I sought help a nurse didn't understand, she told me to say to myself, this to shall pass, she was suggesting ways to stop worrying, I told her that's the point, I can't, I overthink everything, I have to go over and over in my head that it's o.k. to leave apt so I can pay bills or shop, even shopping sometimes can be depressing, but there are days where I feel safe and confident

💛

Girl shut up! They always say it on the program,cleaning is just a symptom of OCD,not the only way it can manifest. Go use your last brain cells

Thankyou so much! I have recently found out I have OCD and am seeing a CBT therapist. Watching this film has been so liberating for me! Thankyou so much! It's so comforting to find out I'm not alone and there are others who understand and have been through the same thing as me. Hearing other people's stories just makes me feel like a person again and not isolated. This film has lifted a lot of the shame and embarrassment I felt from my OCD. I can't explain how awe-struck and impressed I am by you and the people in this video who have been so brave to tell their stories. I'm sure you've helped so many OCD sufferers. Thankyou.

I agree when the person said 'beyond repair'

Thank you ❤️

It's like you want to be in control of yourself but you can't but you helplessly to things that help relieve the anxiety for a short time. You are afraid of the things you can't control in yourself and in your life. (I have a bump on my head that causes me great anxiety) the dr says it's fine, but I don't. I feel that I'm going to die from it. The anxiety from it is like one moment I'm at a 1 skyrocket up to 9 in seconds. The dread of death is paralyzing. You actually think you are going to die. And the guilt is overwhelming even though I have nothing to feel guilty about. So I go through my life to figure out what have I done wrong to make myself feel so guilty. I end up feeling very unsafe and not in control of my own self or life. It's horrible.

You're absolutely right. Most people can't even imagine the real hell that is caused by just a thought. Pure OCD devastating someone's life. Thank you for doing this! ❤❤

This is absolutely an excellent film! I feel so sorry for everyone who has OCD. I have it too. It’s so hard and devastating. Thank you for making this film.

I'm glad they show people with ocd. I now have compassion for these folks, and they seem to have understanding for the participants, even though they are at the other end of the spectrum.

I just wish this could be a bigger thing to people

What a great person. I hope you're doing OK.

been livin with ocd for 12 years now ...

I think my OCD has got worse since living away from home. I find silly things like having ppl over as a huge stress and I panic. I'll be fretting about dust particles..for example. Sounds really pathetic doesn't it. There are many aspects of my daily life I try to normalise best I can. I've a fear of corners. Example.. Down the side of a sofa or corner of the bed. The thought make me feel sick.i have this thing in my mind if my hand goes down the corner then itl get stuck and touch dirt, crumbs... crumbs or sand like particles in bed is weird.i have to cover all seat corners do I can't see them. I can't even sit in a corner. On the sand or particles thing.. I will check the bed every night. And it's immaculate.. This is something I used to make my parents do since I was a kid. Check the bed for sand and particles. If I'm wearing socks in bed, and I need to go downstairs I have to wear slippers to. Then I don't get particles in my socks. I'll rub my feet together over the edge of the bed to ensure no particles are attached to my socks before I get in the bed.

Thank you for this film. It was a great work. I am from a spanish speaking country and I have suffered from OCD since I was a child. I almost came to tears listening the people suffering like I do. It is true OCD is a non-discrimitating illness, that affects people regardless of age, gender, culture or nationality.

That lady who told her that people with ocd who fear being dirty and then have to clean is analogous to people who fear pedophilia so they have to do pedophilic acts with kids is actually a complete and utter moron. If fearing dirt leads you to clean bc you're trying to AVOID dirt, then it stands to reason that fearing pedophilia will cause you to AVOID doing pedophilic acts. That person who told her that should be the one institutionalized because she's clearly that dumb that she's most likely a danger to herself and others.

I managed to get the whole spectrum of ocd...germs, cleaning, intrusive thought...the biggest being that I had an urge to jump out of a moving vehicle. Ah also the fear of something happening to my children when they were young. I was diagnosed at 28...of course after a severe breakdown. They say it’s been there way before 28, most likely in my childhood. Ten years after this diagnosis I was diagnosed with bi polar 1. It’s a struggle people can’t understand unless they live it. My psychiatrist has helped me immensely but it’s still always there hovering..waiting to drive me around the bend. #Survivor

I have turettic ocd and its really annoying.

Brilliant! I had OCD growing up (mostly from age 12 to around 20). This was in the 80's & 90's, when I found it really hard to talk about it, and there was no real way (that I knew of) to hear about other people who suffered from it. It's sad to hear all these stories, but at the same time fantastic to see all the brave (mostly young) people sharing their stories. You're all great! This is especially valuable now, during the covid era, when the mix if isolation & viruses probably can make people sink deeper into OCD.

As I am watching the various pathetic comments coming up next to you talking; I am feeling like I want to grab these a**eholes by the throat and say "NO, YOU DO NOT wish you had OCD; if only it was just about cleaning ... the dark underbelly of OCD is far worse; it's like living with the scariest kind of fear that you can imagine. I hope that you are in recovery, or at least able to function and have times when you are able to fight this evil monster and enjoy life. Sending you love and strength.

My Mum had the best quote when it comes to the phrase "I'm a bit OCD"; she said it's like saying "I'm a bit pregnant". Thank you for standing up and speaking out about our struggle.

It doesnt feel right...that is completely me, even with medication and therapy, damn it😏😏😏

Thats what kills me about ocd. You know what you're doing makes no sense, but you still have to follow the ritual. For me personally its checking, having stuff to be in odd numbers......we could go on and on and on😏😏😏

Not everyone is organized with ocd. I know cause i have it. Got other stuff with ocd, but darn it i missed the organizational one😄😄😄

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for being bold and making this video. I struggle with OCD, ADHD and Schizophrenia. It is a constant ongoing battle. Thankfully, I have the right medication now that has minimized those thoughts, but it is still there. As you said, talking about it really helps so I knew I had to mention my condition. I want to help others in the future that are going through the same thing as me so it is good to hear that others feel the same way.

I actually saw it represented that these people did not enjoy cleaning at all. What I saw were people trying to take their illness to a point of good use in trying to overcome their OCD and with it help someone else. They also said that they did not enjoy OCD but had the compulsion to do it or something would happen. Now that being said, channel 4 may have been just using both peoples illnesses (OCD and hoarding) as a way to exploit and make money. I hope they paid both parties well.

This was so spot on for me. Excellent documentary, thank you. 🙏🏻

oh my god - the public are astoundingly ignorant

Excellent documentary much of which I could relate to. Thank you for pointing out that hand washing is NOT the definition of OCD.

The best documentary on OCD I've ever seen. Thank you so so much for this! <3

Thanks for making a documentary on OCD I have OCD for more than 8 years and watching videos on RUclips related to OCD gives me a new hope that one day I could live a normal OCD free life.

Thank you so much for this video. I identify so much with the stories. Thank God it is being aired so that people can understand how crippling it is to suffer with this horrible disorder. I have had ocd for over 40 years and it has ruined my life. All my love to everyone involved in the video.

studying mental health and this has been very educating, good job!

This was published on an exceptional date: 4 + 2017 = 5, if February the 2nd month is included it equals 7. Perfect, unless those numbers are added 2gether. Get it?

Mental rituals until it "feels right" Exactly!

I have serve ocd about asbestos I hate ocd its ruined my life the way to get better is stop all compulsion s easy said done I hate ocd .people don't get it unless u have it .anyone got to recovery on this video anyone was the secret to get to recovery

I hate OCD...I bet I can find someone to teach me guitar in half a day, how much is that...20 bucks a lesson 30 dollars...who is talking about mental health

Thank you so much for producing this documentary! I hope this serious condition can finally get some accurate awareness because of the courage that you had to produce it. I am really curious as to how many people who have OCD were considerably healthier after watching it? It is almost like the societies view and misrepresentation of the condition are in part responsible for many of the symptoms. I have an adult daughter with OCD. She is very high functioning, however I think she just does a very courageous job of covering it up. When the time is right I will share this with her and I trust this film will be incredibly healing for her.

I don't think I have OCD. My problem is I am always trying to avoid any problems that need attention. I worry, panic, get very depressed and lose all desire to live anymore. I wish everyone who is suffering in any way, that they find relief, help and peace.
