    Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how brave he is for literally leaving his comfort zone, his home, to get help. That's so brave of him to do and I can only imagine how hard that must have been on him.

      @@mariothegreat4197 You clearly don't know what OCD is like. It isn't just a passing impulse, it is a very strong impulse. You think impulses that keep you stuck in one room for eight hours are a matter of "just cut you nails!! danm"? If you truly do think that, then I must applaud you on being one of the most ignorant people I have ever seen.

      No. This is an extreme version. And even if all OCD *was* like this people need to stop being so damn sensitive. Who cares about people exaggerating? Same as when people see someone being stupid and call them retarded. Or if they eat something sweet and make diabetes jokes. Or the teenage kids who say they’re depressed when they’re having a bad week. Or the people making addiction jokes when they like to do something. There’s so many examples of this. If you choose to be offended over something as small as exaggerating OCD you’ll have a rough time in life. 🙄

    I know what OCD is like. I've had it for years, but at this time, I feel I have it under control. There are two things that helped me overcome it. First, I kept reminding myself that the things that annoy you when you have OCD are NOT REAL. Second, overcoming OCD takes courage. If you can just tell yourself, that, if you build up the courage to overcome it, there's no turning back. With this being said, have to courage to overcome it, and it's done. You can't go back. Even if you wanted to, you can't. I hope this helps someone who suffers from it. I know this may not make sense, but the entire process of OCD makes no sense.

    I have suffered from OCD for most of my life, and the only thing that has ever helped and continues to help me to this day is exposure therapy. I have tried everything, and it is the only thing that has truly helped my OCD. It is horrible at first but little by little it does work and greatly improves your quality of life. Anyone out there who has OCD that controls your life like this who is considering exposure therapy but is to afraid start please go for it.

    As a person who suffered from extreme OCD , this is very correct. And I'm not even trying to be like those people who say as a person who has been that I can confirm this and that. I recently came out of this stage of OCD. I still battle it every day, keeping it at bay. Now I spend about 10-20 minutes on it daily. which is manageable. but, OCD, is one od the most difficult things ever. Imagine being a prisoner inside your own mind. Questioning daily activities, hygiene and everything you touch.

    "I'm a prisoner of my own head." I've said that exact same thing before. I was diagnosed with OCD at 12. When I was 20 I tried committing suicide because I couldnt take the never ending rituals and the constant "no do that again, you didn't do that right" from my brain. I don"t have OCD as intense as this guy thank goodness. I'm now 34 and have sought therapy and gotten medication. My life is so much better now. The OCD is still there but it's not nearly as strong as it is without the medication. I hope this guy can get help and have a normal life.

    This breaks my heart... I have OCD that was getting progressively worse as well and somehow I've managed to reduce it to almost completely functional levels.
    I still have to obsessively check everything in my house multiple times before I can leave (faucets, lights, windows and door locked). Counting specific seconds or times I've checked everything. Among a myriad of other bizarre tendencies... It's hard on those around me because mine is not debilitating anymore and they don't understand why it takes me ten minutes to walk away from my car sometimes. I can just imagine what it's like for his wife too.
    It gets worse on occasion and I have no clue if it has something to do with my mental state or what. All I know is there was a point in my life where I realized if I don't start doing something to curb it, I will end up like this with no control at all anymore.

    • @kaylaatkins1915
      @kaylaatkins1915 5 лет назад

      @@noraRvx This is purely from what I've experienced as someone with OCD - we do know why we do these things, we feel we have to; but we don't know why we have to.
      When we look a little deeper into the mechanisms behind it we understand that there is an obsession (if I forget to turn the stove off before I leave the house, the house will burn down) and then the compulsion - satisfying the psychological need to relieve ourselves of the obsession.
      So if I check the stove before I leave the house, I know it's off, and the house won't burn down. However the obsession is not always satisfied in the way that normal thoughts are...
      I equated the obsession to normal thoughts people have, to make sure the stove is turned off before leaving the house is very normal indeed. To know you haven't even used the stove since the last time you obsessively checked it, and still need to check it repeatedly, is compulsively acting out an obsessive thought.
      There is literally something in our brain that does not register an action has been done, or even exacerbates the obsession further by getting frustrated with our own brain. It may have to do with anxiety or trauma in my opinion.
      At the moment we are one thousand percent registering that it is not normal but there is like a hot button that doesn't go off until our personal pattern/compulsion is satisfied. It's very strange, cerebral, and personal to each sufferer of OCD.
      The worst part is knowing how ridiculous and unnecessary it is, and still being trapped in the need to act it out, it is humiliating and so SO FRUSTRATING knowing that it is not logical and your brain can't stop.
