I've never seen something like this articulated so well. I've suffered with dermatillomania and trichotillomania (skin picking and hair pulling) since I was kid. Those are also considered variations of OCD. But this guy's story sounds wild and I can imagine how debilitating this could be. Poor guy. I feel like me and this guy could be really good friends.
Such an amazing story! So many parallels and crossovers between OCD and drug/alcohol addiction. So so so proud of you for getting help - that lady was sent by God for sure. And congrats on 10 months clean/ sober. You are awesome! Keep it up!
I’m so glad he made it through all that. It sounds like it was extremely debilitating. I’m happy for him! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it. As always, thank you Derrick for doing what you do.
What an incredible story!! This video had me fully engaged. I haven't thought of OCD as if it were like addiction. This opened my mind. Thank you guys. ☺️
I have BPD, and struggled with addictions, not limited to drugs but also working out, and cleaning, etc, so this resonated with me heavily. I also watched my mom suffer extreme OCD (it actually costed her a marriage), and it was hard to watch. But I am proud to say I am 5 years and 5 months sober from fentanyl, and I finally got a spot in DBT this upcoming January to help with my other obsessive coping mechanisms, I have 2 beautiful children, went to college, nd am doing well ☺️☺️ There is hope for everyone 💕
Look into Pete Walkers book .. it's about complex post traumatic stress disorder. Many people are misdiagnosed. I am complex post traumatic stress disorder. It can be fixed
Good channel man, been following it from time to time the past few years. Been hooked on opiates since 2010 and IV heroin since 2012. Of course been thru multiple outa state rehabs, jail, drug court graduate, (still relapsed once completed). So now I'm on maintenance Suboxone and currently fighting another possession and paraphernalia charge. This particular charge is difficult for me to accept because I was involved in a new harm reduction needle exchange program here in Virginia. When the police stopped me unjustly after doing license plate searches they demanded to search my vehicle. I presented my membership card that stated I was to have syringes and partake in the exchange part of the program. However, in doing so, the member is driving to the clinic with felony content ( used syringes). I can't help but feel set up! I feel bitter that simple possession is still a crime. I heard that neighboring states such as North Carolina offer immunity to harm reduction participants. Just wondered your take on this man and how you deal with feelings of bitterness towards society when this is clearly a disease.
I hope your brother and wife are getting clean. I've watched you for a very long time. You have help me with your stories. They give me hope. for my son. He just got kicked out of rehab after 8 months of being clean. He was in fl. His friend put him on a bus back to Colorado where his family is. How do I help without enabling? That's a hard one. He is using. I don't know if hell stop. But he's been to 5 rehabs and lost his wife and kids and good business. After 8 months of being clean he used! I need a support group for loved ones of an addict. Alanon wasn't a good fit. Do you charge for counsel?
Hi Derek - I also have BPD thanks for sharing! I want to send you a little package...you don’t have a PO Box up. You should put up a PO Boxx. I make jewelry! I want to send something cute for your wife. Lmk.

The mind is very powerful. I’m so happy how far he has come. I got a little emotional listening to his story.
Bro that, “I wouldn’t do it because I wouldn’t want to rob you of the journey” part hit me. That’s some real shit 💯

I want to know who this mystery therapist/woman is!? She sounds amazing!
My OCD was as severe. Used adderall for a year and some steroids and my OCD is significantly better not cured though.
Wow, great story... so interesting.
