People use OCD as freely as using anxiety. It's caused problems for people that truly have these disorders to the point that the medications they need are no longer available to them because if over prescription. They've never tried therapy or anything first. They've never been diagnosed by a professionals.
I think there is a big difference between someone saying they are experiencing or experienced anxiety vs. Claiming to have a anxiety disorder. People can self recognize the feeling of anxiety just like any other feeling. Also, while some might not actually have an anxiety disorder I think it's worse to invalidate someone when we don't know their internal life or personal life. Maybe the are doing it for attention but also have an anxiety disorder. I'd rather be safe and not invalidate them than sorry. It can be frustrating and invalidating if someone doesn't have it and is using it for attention but if they are, they obviously are struggling with something. For me, I've had bad GAD my entire life and my friends would never know. I'm very social and have no social anxiety.
She is speaking TRUTH!!! My youngest son has severe OCD and I recognize sooo much of what she is saying! It’s a horrible way to live and my heart breaks for Lele, my son and sooo many others that suffer with OCD! TY Lele for speaking out and educating people!
My experience with ocd started with my brother, we used to share a bedroom in the 70s when we were kids, every night he would shut thr door then move handle up and down for a set number of times, when he walked to school he would feel the need to genuflect then makeout he was doing his shoelaces. My mother got so concerned she took him to a psychologist but it never helped. He still has osd, to the piont where he can't drive on motorways because if he does he has to count the white lines in the road. From what i can gather its all to do with the fear of something bad will happen if you don't do the ocd, so in doing these illogical thing prevents bad things happening to yourself and your loved ones.
Does your brother have a family or wife? Cuz i am a guys and I struggle with it too. But I want to hear some perspective on older folks who have gone through it. Has he ever tried to stop or did he just comply to the fact that he will have ocd forever?
My husband has OCD. I regularly followed you guys then coincidentally I click on the "intrusive thoughts " video and realized that is exactly my husband! No diagnosis yet but there's no way he doesn't have it. It encapsulates our relationships with how we fight. He constantly asks for reassurance and obsessed over various things. Thanks SO MUCH! My husband watches these with me
Please be there for him he is a strong person and it’s so great and hopeful to have an understanding partner it helps us and tell him to keep going I recovered once and was free from ocd for months but relapses do happen but he can get to a point where he forgets he has ocd
not related to the other person talking about shrooms but delta 8 is federally legal (check your state's laws) it is helping me with OCD currently. i am starting to be able to leave the house again sometimes. if he has adhd what works for me is to watch videos with fast psced content, i watch Saberspark because he writes videos in a format i understand. seriously that one youtuber saved my life. intrusive thoughts can sometimes get blocked just to the slightest point where you can fight them if you are absorbing other information.
Happy to see someone relevant share her disorder. Thank you Lele. I have been living with OCD for most of my life and just managing it the best I can by myself. It is not easy and it is not something that anyone should take lightly.
I've had OCD since I was a kid. I'll have to agree with Lele on this one, I also find it a bit irritating when people just use the oh "I'm so OCD about this" because it minimizes the actual disorder. I do realize that a lot of people do use that sentence, it's just really frustrating for me to hear it when in my head I'm telling myself like You have no idea how bad this disorder can get. Sending light and love 😀😀😀😀
During awful OCD days I cannot stop checking locked doors at night and checking on my daughter every 15 minutes. If I dont go check I get this overwhelming sensation deep in my chest and I am convinced my daughter will die or I will lose her forever if I dont keep checking until the sun comes up. It usually last many night in a row. I love cooking from scratch but it takes me twices as long to make a simple meal I have to chop dice slice and mince everything exactly the same or I have a panic attak I cannot have anyone help me. Meltdowns happen and I end up extremely embarrassed.
I am so sorry. My daughter suffered terribly with severe OCD. She was diagnosed at 15 and received intensive Exposure Response Therapy. It was and has been a game-changer. At 24, she now runs her own successful business. I never thought she could live on her own, let alone accomplish that. The OCD is still a factor, but she has the tools to be in control and deal with it. No medication either.
Lele, I’ve had OCD since I was 14 years old (now 24) and I completely understand the struggle you go through and you are such a remarkable spokesperson for people dealing with severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Everything you mentioned was spot on, completely accurate to the symptoms of OCD.
Every time I watch a medcircle video , I feel so enlightened and loved, during my meth physicists or not, you're channel hae given me love and hope.. thank you
Kind of sad that people downvote without having seen the interview, just because they dislike her. She's human too and deserves to be heard. Just because her content is shitty doesn't mean she's not allowed to feel good 😂
I agree with you. I don’t really like Lele Pons, I used to when I was younger, she was funny to me back then ( idk about her content now ) . She has had her fair share of controversies but, regardless, she’s a human too. Let’s normalise looking at people from a humane perspective regardless of their status.
@@TubeWusel can you just tell me why everyone hating on her so much? Idk who she is or why everyone herr hates her gutts. I wish I'd have done better on my short video interview so i could be interviewed for everyone to talk about. Why does everyone hate her??
Just because it's her doesn't make her experience any less important. We cannot be one of those who select with whom to be empathetic and with whom not ... Empathy is universal, as should be respect in such serious matters!
I’m 25 and I started showing signs of OCD when I was 14. However, my very first memory of acting OCD is when I was 7/8 and the man serving my food coughed and I told my mother who insisted that he refund our money as it’s a “health hazard” OCD has made certain points of my life extremely uncomfortable and difficult but I’m looking forward to finally starting counselling. OCD is not a joke and if you’re struggling please seek help, you’re not alone and OCD doesn’t define who you are or who you are destined to be. ❤️
My OCD is doing a task then thinking I didn't do it good enough so I need to do it again over and over and can't get to anything else. I also get obtrusive thoughts except my rx helps tons with the thoughts.
I currently have been without medication for several months because I thought foolishly that I could do life without it. I cannot. I am 48 and my ocd is at an all time high. I did muster up the courage to make a Drs appointment whidh is a huge accomplishment for me because my anxiety with intrusive thoughts has made it so hard to even make phone calls and make everyday decisions. This disorder is debilitating and in has effected all every aspect of my life. But I do haave hope and with setting goals and making small steps forward, I believe I can overcome it. I will always struggle because life is a strugglle but I dont have to let it define me. I really enjoyed listening to this girl speak. She really said some things that hit home. Thank you pretty lady!
Actually, researchers have been able to pinpoint the specific brain areas and processes linked to the repetitive behaviors common to OCD sufferers. Brain scans of OCD sufferers were compared with people who do not have OCD. There were marked differences. OCD is a medical problem, not some deep dark issue of behavior or past traumas.
I didn't get my diagnose until I was an adult, but when I was young I was late for school every morning (even those years when I literally lived next door to the school) because I had to control that everything was shut off and locked many times before I could leave the apartment. It was pure torture and also felt embarrassing. I have made some improvements through the years, so nowadays it's a little bit better. I still have my OCD thoughts and rituals, but I've learned to cope with some of them at least.
I as well as you suffer horribly from BPD and OCDPD..may God bless you and guide your mind and thoughts..I will let you know something,it gets better with age,time...I promise.
I wasn’t diagnosed until one year ago. Therapy helps but it takes time. I am learning to accept my disorder. I have number and rituals OCD. When I was little I had cleanliness OCD and it caused eating disorders. Now it’s numbers. It’s rough. 😩
I know some persons who have been diagnosticed from TDAH having OCD, and sometimes the difficulty to attend is because the distraction from the intrusive thought of the OCD, not for having TDAH. Courage to all people who suffer OCD and other mental’s condition; I’m fighting with OCD, and is so difficult. Remenber that treatment with scientific evidence for OCD is EPR, ACT, cognitive restructuring and a strong psico-education from the disorder. We will get out of this
From my understanding based on the articles that have read, ocd is so different from person to person that has it. The way that her symptoms are expressed by having ocd, does not mean that some else that has this disorder will experience it the same way.
I have OCD which I’m currently trying to fight. It’s so frustrating hearing people use it as an adjective. There’s even a cleaning company local to me called “OCD cleaning.” So insulting as people don’t have a clue what it’s really like. 😬
I hope more people learn the fact that OCD is much more severe than the stereotypical 'cleaning and organizing.' It's a constant, lifelong bombardment of obsessive thoughts leading to detrimental compulsions over and over again. As soon as you get past one thing, it evolves to another. In example for me, I went from the obsession of going to die of a deadly disease, with obvious compulsions being handwashing, etc. After overcoming that one, it manifested into my failed relationship. Someone with severe OCD is constantly having intrusive thoughs of their current obsession, and the compulsions can be especially dangerous when relationships are involved because it leads to things such as eating disorders and extreme depression. Severe OCD is a living hell, and I hope more people can raise awareness to the disease.
Here's a "good" one: When I'm driving and I see something in the distance, since I can't physically touch it I have to "touch" it by moving my head so something in my car blocks the view of the object. If I don't check myself it's almost a near-constant thing, usually on longer drives. Oh and then sometimes I have to block the object from both directions, so someone watching me would see my head rocking slightly back and forth.. lol *sigh* Then before I get out I touch probably 1-2 dozen various little things: (never the floor on purpose or I'm washing my hands) in the console, speedometer, oil sticker, clock, rear-view mirror and the back holding it to the windshield if I'm feeling froggy, bottom of the cupholders, bottom of door handle, side cupholder, vents, change the volume from (example) 10 to 9 to 11 to 10, flick the window buttons so each window opens slightly before closing, open the door, lock it twice, touch side of seat on the way out, head rest and braces, seat belt, close the door, touch the window, then rear-view.. OMG STOP IT ALREADY That's every time I drive, and in almost the same order every time.
Ya people need to let go of validation on social media and just from anyone in life. Everyone is so different, what works for one person doesn’t for the next. Going to talk with someone is so healing and therapeutic, I recommend all people to go. I’ve chased that whole entertainment business and it’s all so overrated and no one should sell their soup for Rich and fame. We are all important and all enough, we all need to take back our power and control and know our worth and value. At the end of the day as long as you did the best you know you could that’s all that matters.
It would be amazing if you could make some videos on PANS (Pediatric Acute Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS. They can cause OCD, tics, depressive symptoms, eating issues, rages, coordination changes, and much more.
Wonderful listening, exposure or aversion therapy works well thru ocd thoughts I paint mistakes and embrace everyday mistakes even when it's more symptoms than living-- that's ok tomorrow is a new day. Thank you medcircle, thank you dear star💙💜💛💚🧡🌟Lele, Lele 🎶🎵 support to you. I'm proud of you keep going.
I don't have OCD, but lately my therapist has suggested that it could be part of my diagnosis. I have severe ADHD with a looot of impulsivity, I suffer because I cannot initate tasks and it has given me a ton of anxiety. In parallel I have this urge to clean sometimes and I cannot stop until I feel that it is finally ok and I don't know if I actually have cleaning rituals related to OCD or if it's normal. Noone that I know lives the way I do, like having everything clean. My life is a mess, I'm very disorganized and I'm constantly cleaning and organizing and I cannot not do it. I don't know if that is normal, I don't have other OCD traits, maybe that I cannot stand certain textures
yes it’s horrible and there are not very many therapists who help if you can’t afford it, is there a certain reference yiu can give for those who can’t afford??? my son has suffered from it for many years and it’s been hard to get consistent therapy cause of the cost, so if you have a reference to contact for help?
I was diagnosed with OCD a couple of years ago (pure OCD) because I don't have any outward signs (I have thoughts that I was ashamed of having) I felt when I was diagnosed that I couldn't tell anyone as most people assume if you have OCD you are obsessively tidy and have an absolutely sterile house. I don't! I wish there was more understanding about it, especially pure OCD. I have been to therapists many times for depression and anxiety, but was too ashamed to say the "bad thoughts" I had. I wished I had said something earlier as I wouldn't have had to live for years blaming myself for something I can't control. When I eventually told a psychologist about my "bad thoughts" he told me you can't control your thoughts. For example someone says "don't think of a polar bear. " You immediately think of a polar bear.
I remember when suguru the runescape pothead told me green tea was ocd over runescape when i was 17 and i didnt get served with the diagnosis until i was 28.
That bothered me too 😭 To intentionally trigger and distress someone is just cruel, it’s not exposure therapy, plus lele is not a therapist and can’t give people exposure therapy in the first place 😭 Just because you see a therapist and are diagnosed doesn’t mean you can diagnose and treat others, that’s so gross and harmful in itself that she’s doing that _(」∠ 、ン、)_
No shade at all but one reason I couldn’t and still have a hard time watching Lele is because of her mole. You may think are you insane and yes I kind of am, I also have severe ocd and used to have deathly fears of moles and veins so much so I have passed out literally over 40 times in my life. Now I’m doing a bit better and I can handle moles. I’m so happy she’s shining a light on OCD and depression because they’re no joke and they don’t discriminate .
omg nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way ....dude if You put Your finger over and over in my food after i scream Noooo ....I would just destroy the cake lol and not touch a cake for years
Has anyone in the comment section here tried the B4DT treatment? If so, how has it affected you both short and long term? Have a 9 year old with severe OCD and will go through the treatment in a few weeks.
Thank Yall. I got it figured out now & don't know doo-doo, but that. All of society got some sort of nuts factor going on. We better get The True God involved in this.
Lele if you read this please educate yourself on discrimination because i used to watch your content until i could reflect on how sexist und racist it was (yours and that of all the people you used to do shorts and stuff). That’s why i couldn’t stand your content and i still do not support it. But i appreciate you very much for sharing so much about your mental health, it’s helping so many people and it’s important.
Talking about miracles, see Becket Cook's channel. He talked about once how he used to be on antidepressants which helped. However one day he felt something leave him thru the power of God and no longer needed them!
@A do you? Or are you one of the psycho’s minions that likes to frame people because ganging up on rape & abuse victims for a decade makes you feel like a “man”
You know I badly want to disrespect you. But I don't because I choose to be kind, so I hope you'll do the same even if you really hate someone, be considerate. Mental health is not a joke
It’s not her fault BUT BUT BUT, a poor kid in a dangerous neighborhood, in a mother country even, doesn’t have the luxury of having OCD. Maybe it manifests in other ways but that’s just the truth. For example, I have had to go to the hospital 2x for injuries while running/escaping roaches. I love with a can of Raid in every room of my home so that it’s within reach… But even I know that if I grew up on a dirt floor with a rolled mat to sleep on, in a shack with poor sanitation, I would probably be used to roaches or at least bugs… idk. It’s just a thing and I don’t like her “victim” mentality. Don’t do that “poor me” voice and eyebrow pulled together thing. She is free to vent and so as she pleases, but I have a hard time when someone cannot express themselves without buying for sympathy. Especially if it’s not say, cancer or the like. Just me. I know.
what a deeply unkind point of view. i grew up poor, and deal with debilitating ocd (which living in a roach infested house made *worse*). multiple members of my family grew up well below the poverty line in a 3rd world country and still dealt with mental illness. going through hard times doesnt preclude you from mental illness, it just makes it harder. anybody can be mentally ill, and everybody who is mentally ill deserves support. and for the love of god, stop calling ocd a "luxury". it's a disease that absolutely destroys people and doesnt stop until they're a shell of themselves. trust me. i know.
There are definitely poor people who have OCD and struggle with mental health. You’re proudly projecting your fantasies onto the world, and it’s shameful and ridiculous. Perhaps seek help instead of living in that fantasy world.
Grandma was born and raised and lived in El Salvador, not rich and very poor, struggled with severe ocd. What you say is just beyond ignorant. I am not rich either and grew up poor also struggle with ocd.

At the end of the day as long as you did the best you know you could that’s all that matters.
It would be amazing if you could make some videos on PANS (Pediatric Acute Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS. They can cause OCD, tics, depressive symptoms, eating issues, rages, coordination changes, and much more.
Wonderful listening, exposure or aversion therapy works well thru ocd thoughts I paint mistakes and embrace everyday mistakes even when it's more symptoms than living-- that's ok tomorrow is a new day. Thank you medcircle, thank you dear star💙💜💛💚🧡🌟Lele, Lele 🎶🎵 support to you. I'm proud of you keep going.
I don't have OCD, but lately my therapist has suggested that it could be part of my diagnosis. I have severe ADHD with a looot of impulsivity, I suffer because I cannot initate tasks and it has given me a ton of anxiety. In parallel I have this urge to clean sometimes and I cannot stop until I feel that it is finally ok and I don't know if I actually have cleaning rituals related to OCD or if it's normal. Noone that I know lives the way I do, like having everything clean. My life is a mess, I'm very disorganized and I'm constantly cleaning and organizing and I cannot not do it. I don't know if that is normal, I don't have other OCD traits, maybe that I cannot stand certain textures
yes it’s horrible and there are not very many therapists who help if you can’t afford it, is there a certain reference yiu can give for those who can’t afford??? my son has suffered from it for many years and it’s been hard to get consistent therapy cause of the cost, so if you have a reference to contact for help?
I was diagnosed with OCD a couple of years ago (pure OCD) because I don't have any outward signs (I have thoughts that I was ashamed of having) I felt when I was diagnosed that I couldn't tell anyone as most people assume if you have OCD you are obsessively tidy and have an absolutely sterile house. I don't! I wish there was more understanding about it, especially pure OCD. I have been to therapists many times for depression and anxiety, but was too ashamed to say the "bad thoughts" I had. I wished I had said something earlier as I wouldn't have had to live for years blaming myself for something I can't control. When I eventually told a psychologist about my "bad thoughts" he told me you can't control your thoughts. For example someone says "don't think of a polar bear. " You immediately think of a polar bear.
Comment section did not pass the vibe check
I do got this Kyle and i hope you liked the painting bc i love you and my discount and i appreciate everything from you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Why yall hatin?? Go find something else to do, this is for us that need it okay.
I appreciate the introduction because I have NO IDEA who Lele Pons is…
I have OCD to and i am 8 year old
Kyle good as always...
I love this so much. I judged based on her content but I shouldn't have! You are awesome girl.
lol its like muahhh your fking with my flow
Fame is not absolute.
It is all about anxiety
Absolutely, anxiety feeds OCD. Had severe anxiety / OCD for seventy years and it destroyed my life.
I can't find an OCD therapist here. How did you find your therapist?
yes, the medication IS a miracle!
I remember when suguru the runescape pothead told me green tea was ocd over runescape when i was 17 and i didnt get served with the diagnosis until i was 28.
Huh
I just noticed that LeLe and I were both born on June 25th!! And we both have OCD.....
Didn’t she put out a docuseries on her channel basically saying the same exact thing she is saying here…
I don't have this but i just want to learn about anything especially this one OCD 😊
Lol “don’t trigger me”, like you were triggering your fam about thumbs in her cake?!?! Gurl?!!!! What? Lmao
That bothered me too 😭
To intentionally trigger and distress someone is just cruel, it’s not exposure therapy, plus lele is not a therapist and can’t give people exposure therapy in the first place 😭
Just because you see a therapist and are diagnosed doesn’t mean you can diagnose and treat others, that’s so gross and harmful in itself that she’s doing that _(」∠ 、ン、)_
Sorry who is she? .... i live in Canada ? Clearly not global superstar😂
No shade at all but one reason I couldn’t and still have a hard time watching Lele is because of her mole. You may think are you insane and yes I kind of am, I also have severe ocd and used to have deathly fears of moles and veins so much so I have passed out literally over 40 times in my life. Now I’m doing a bit better and I can handle moles. I’m so happy she’s shining a light on OCD and depression because they’re no joke and they don’t discriminate .
Did insurance pay for this inhouse therapt doe a monrh?
Please talk about ADHD. People do not understand it clearly.
I received this twice due I assumed to someone's OCD
I thought she was just Venezuelan, but u say she's Venezuelan Italian?!
omg nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way ....dude if You put Your finger over and over in my food after i scream Noooo ....I would just destroy the cake lol and not touch a cake for years
I have ocd
Superstar?! Never heard of her
Guess I'm old now 😪
Has anyone in the comment section here tried the B4DT treatment? If so, how has it affected you both short and long term?
Have a 9 year old with severe OCD and will go through the treatment in a few weeks.
👍❤️
Thank Yall. I got it figured out now & don't know doo-doo, but that. All of society got some sort of nuts factor going on. We better get The True God involved in this.
Take a shot everytime she says LIKE
Sucks. I've never heard of her.
Lele if you read this please educate yourself on discrimination because i used to watch your content until i could reflect on how sexist und racist it was (yours and that of all the people you used to do shorts and stuff). That’s why i couldn’t stand your content and i still do not support it. But i appreciate you very much for sharing so much about your mental health, it’s helping so many people and it’s important.
No
Talking about miracles, see Becket Cook's channel. He talked about once how he used to be on antidepressants which helped. However one day he felt something leave him thru the power of God and no longer needed them!
I think the woman has panic attacks...
EW
White woman after white woman…
Never had OCD. Until I was raped, abused, smear campaigned in Hollywood, then shifted to London where I had a Narc relationship too 🤣😎👄👌🏽
@A I'm okay. The perpetrators and their friends won't be :)
@A do you? Or are you one of the psycho’s minions that likes to frame people because ganging up on rape & abuse victims for a decade makes you feel like a “man”
@A people once accused me of paranoia and it ended up being truth + that’s hardly lashing out 😉
I’m actually disappointed over this live and the comments this girl deserves no respects idc about her “OCD” 🙃
That's a you problem, a lack of respect and kindness. Be more considerate
You know I badly want to disrespect you. But I don't because I choose to be kind, so I hope you'll do the same even if you really hate someone, be considerate. Mental health is not a joke
if you're disappointed about someone being respected, you are the problem. seek help and do better.
channel really declining huh
that’s rude LMAO
Why isn’t there more diversity? Just wondering….
It’s not her fault BUT BUT BUT, a poor kid in a dangerous neighborhood, in a mother country even, doesn’t have the luxury of having OCD. Maybe it manifests in other ways but that’s just the truth.
For example, I have had to go to the hospital 2x for injuries while running/escaping roaches. I love with a can of Raid in every room of my home so that it’s within reach… But even I know that if I grew up on a dirt floor with a rolled mat to sleep on, in a shack with poor sanitation, I would probably be used to roaches or at least bugs… idk. It’s just a thing and I don’t like her “victim” mentality. Don’t do that “poor me” voice and eyebrow pulled together thing. She is free to vent and so as she pleases, but I have a hard time when someone cannot express themselves without buying for sympathy. Especially if it’s not say, cancer or the like. Just me. I know.
what a deeply unkind point of view. i grew up poor, and deal with debilitating ocd (which living in a roach infested house made *worse*). multiple members of my family grew up well below the poverty line in a 3rd world country and still dealt with mental illness. going through hard times doesnt preclude you from mental illness, it just makes it harder. anybody can be mentally ill, and everybody who is mentally ill deserves support. and for the love of god, stop calling ocd a "luxury". it's a disease that absolutely destroys people and doesnt stop until they're a shell of themselves. trust me. i know.
There are definitely poor people who have OCD and struggle with mental health. You’re proudly projecting your fantasies onto the world, and it’s shameful and ridiculous. Perhaps seek help instead of living in that fantasy world.
Oof. You sound very inconsiderate.
Grandma was born and raised and lived in El Salvador, not rich and very poor, struggled with severe ocd. What you say is just beyond ignorant. I am not rich either and grew up poor also struggle with ocd.
Worse than being poor is to be heartless as you are.
