One thing to note about OCD is that the intrusive thoughts and themes have many ways they can be triggered. The 2 most common being an external trigger from something in your surrounding environment, or you can be daydreaming and a thought will pass by and get latched onto. When its the former you tend to regret doing the thing that triggered the thought, but either way you literally have no control over how they start.
I truly understand where your coming from and have experienced the same depths of despair which caused me to make 3 real attempts to take my own life. After one attempt when the hospital staff were stiching my wrists they were also making fun of me. I wish, just for a short time, they could have felt what it's really like to suffer with OCD. Only those that suffer with OCD really understand how devastating it can be and the huge effort we have to make just to function. We who suffer with OCD are members of a club we never asked to join but our shared experiences can be of great benefit especially at those times we are at our lowest. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@justmadeit2 I am currently working very hard on reducing all rumination which is key in recovering from OCD. So far I'm getting very positive results but it's far from easy. I wish you all the best with your own endevours. All the best for now.
@@amy-janequinton3193 Yes, I have a job offer on line. When I got it I was excited about it but afterwards due to OCD overwhelms (down days) I got truly hopeless especially when I saw people around me working with a lot of efficiency and expertise while I couldn’t find the energy to get out of my bed. It gives me fears that I will actually die or not have enough energy for that job or at the very least will become a laughingstock for people who will see my nitpicking and incompetence.
Take care of yourself as much as you can. I have a full time job right now and have a good time. It's hard sometimes, but you and everyone else with OCD can absolutely find a way to move through!!
i really wish ocd wasn’t portrayed as this awesome quirky neat disorder. could you imagine how many people could’ve gotten help right away if it wasn’t so stigmatized? when i was diagnosed with it, i was actually shocked cuz.. have you seen my room? it’s messy. there’s no way i have ocd. obviously since then i did a lot more research and yes, i confirmed that i have it
You are absolutely the only person who actually can verbalize how it feels to be in this absolute pile of shit.... thank you from the bottom of my heart ... I love you because of what you done for me .... for all of us
You are a God send. Thank you for validating and/or understanding how hard you can fall and how hard it is to pick yourself backup. I wouldn't wish any type or sub theme on my worst enemy.
I’ve had so many moments like the one you recalled. I can see the pain in your eyes when you reminisce. I love watching your videos. It’s been a lifeline for me. Thank you for being here for all of us. ❤
hey guys can hocd have intrusive feelings and emotions for eg: you feel like you have crush type feeling for same gender(it's very horrible for me while saying this)
I have an important question! Can probably someone help me? Its really embarrassing but i get the „groinal response“ without intrusive thoughts. I am so extremely scared that i have PGAD. I don’t know if it is OCD or not.
Hi! i have groinal responses without intrusive thoughts, i have POCD and ZOCD so i get the groinal responses when i see/hear a trigger Do you know that OCD isn't about just thoughts? It can be intrusive sensations too. You are not alone. I know how it's hard to find information about groinal responses without thoughts, but it's pretty common in OCD community
I can’t even cry, I feel in such pain with depression and fear and my thoughts
😢 🫂
As much as I would like to believe this, I don't think I can keep doing this anymore

It’s the worst. If you don’t mind me asking, was it caused by intrusive thoughts that you made those attempts ?
@@justmadeit2 Thank you for your interest. Yes it was, followed by false memories made much worse by ruminating.
@@duncanhough1284 It’s torment. I’ve had insomnia too because I’m
so tense.
@@justmadeit2 I am currently working very hard on reducing all rumination which is key in recovering from OCD. So far I'm getting very positive results but it's far from easy. I wish you all the best with your own endevours. All the best for now.
You really posted this the day I've dropped into the depths, God I needed this today, thank you so much
I don’t know how I will be able to work a job with OCD. I have zero energy.
It’s very tough. Take care of yourself the best you can. Do you have a job now?
@@amy-janequinton3193 Yes, I have a job offer on line.

I have it on a waiting period. Till then I’m trying my best to recover because I feel zero physical or mental capacity for it
Me too 😢

Insomnia is bad too with anxiety and ocd

Can HOCD also be about specific people?
hey guys can hocd have intrusive feelings and emotions for eg: you feel like you have crush type feeling for same gender(it's very horrible for me while saying this)
Definitely. OCD can make you feel and believe anything. Sorry for the reassurance 😂but just take this with you moving forward.
@@amy-janequinton3193 thnx, btw are u also suffer from hocd??
I have an important question! Can probably someone help me? Its really embarrassing but i get the „groinal response“ without intrusive thoughts. I am so extremely scared that i have PGAD. I don’t know if it is OCD or not.
Chrissie has a lot of videos on the groinal. Shes suffered herself and talks about triggers etc. Have you looked back at past videos?
Hi!
