  • Psych2Go's Monica Taing hosts the Ask An Expert series on OCD with Nate Peterson.
    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder characterised by the presence of obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and/or compulsions (repetitive behaviours of mental acts intended to reduce the obsessions). What does this all really mean? As a commonly misunderstood disorder, it's especially useful to separate fact from fiction. Psych2Go's Monica ( / psychtomed ) [Medical Student] hosts Nathan Peterson ( / ocdandanxiety ) [Therapist] to discuss OCD. | #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder
    Join us at 5 PM EST on 8 September 2022 for a candid chat about OCD.

I found him one night, on the floor by the door, because he was looping. 59. Is that enough? Lose count. Start over. He was in real pain. It was horrible. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    One thing I doing hate, is that people expect me to be extremely tidy and organised, which -because of my adhd, I am simply not. People have told me before "well you can't have odd bc your not tidy". It's called obsessive compulsive disorder. I have symptoms of obsessive behaviours and compulsive behaviours, none of which specify that i have to be organised or tidy or clean. I am organised in a way most people don't understand (it's different from how most people organise stuff) but it just has to b like that.

      I am not diagnosed but I understand what you are saying, my intrusive thought I if I am too happy something bad will happen not necessarily too me, e.g. a distant, and I mean distant cousin really wanted children, and couldn’t, but he and wife were adopting a toddler, and wife sent child back because they had a runny nose and rash because she wasn’t going to do a sick kid. I couldn’t stop my guilt and sadness that it was my fault because I had been so happy when I heard they were adopting. I also need to count but went almost 60 years before anyone knew . But I counted the eggs in the dozen I was buying at grocery then counted when they went in fridge, counted when they came out to be used. I counted my children all the time - I had 2. I counted silverware when they went into dishwasher and again when they came out, etc. etc., etc. but because I also am ADHD, I have the same reaction as the joke about dogs “squirrel!” I read multiple books at same time, in evening will watch TV., and RUclips on phone and do whatever craft I am hooked on at that time. I know where all my things are, and what is stored in each box in store room but my surroundings are a mess (but I know where everything is)
      But I have learned to just accept myself, and finally realized it’s nobody’s business how I live and I don’t have to try to live my life like others want to tell me too, just live so I am happy with me.

    I may have missed this stream, but I got a story for you about OCD.
    When I was 14, I had it bad. My obsession was about God and the Devil, having a battle in my head for my soul. It scared the daylights out of me, and I was put in a hospital for two weeks. The rest of year was equally nightmarish. Nathan Peterson was right, it is quite treatable. I don't remember how I did it, but over the course of time I eventually got better. But make no mistake, I was never able to function in life properly for a time because of it. It ain't quirky at all, it's painful, scary, and hard to overcome because it feels real, regardless if it's actually not. Luckily, I'm all better now. I learned to accept "uncontrollable thoughts" as I called them at the time. Keep up the good work, you guys!

    Thank you for this video. I have OCD, among other mental illnesses. And of all the diagnoses I have, OCD is one of my most dreaded to talk about because I hate hearing, "I understand! I am totally OCD about..." NO, YOU'RE NOT! It's not just washing your hands frequently. It's washing and showering to the point of cracking, bleeding skin out of legit fear of contamination. It's not wanting all your dishes clean, it's sending your dishes through the washer 2, 3, 4 or more times or else feeling like the dishes are filthy. I count EVERYTHING, from my eating utensils to how long I scrub my hands, face, and hair to how many times I lock my apartment door after my husband leaves for his third shift job, and having a complete panic attack and having to start all over if I lose count. Counting, praying, and scrubbing are my main compulsions. Contamination, assault, sin, and even death are my main obsessions. People are surprised to find out that despite my OCD, my apartment is a complete disaster. Not because I'm lazy. Not because I am tired. But because my brain says, "If you start something that you can't finish in one session (I have a lot of physical chronic conditions that cause pain and fatigue.), you will never get back up once you take your first break, so why bother starting to begin with?" Argh! So frustrating.

    I told my psychology teacher my symptoms because a topic we will do later is psychopathology which involves OCD so I thought she might help me understand it and she said it sounds a lot like OCD and that I should tell my GP about it so I can hopefully get a diagnosis but my parents don't know/won't believe me so I'll probably wait until I move out or get a diagnosis through school. It's weird how I know the 'rituals' won't do anything but I still have to do them or I will feel horrible for ages and a lot of anxiety. Not sure if this is OCD related but when I was 8 years old, I had this thing where I had to touch certain things like walls or objects because I had this weird feeling in my hands which would stop when I touch something and it would feel so awful if I didn't. But then it stopped for a few years when I was about 11 years old, I tried to suppress it when I started secondary school and it worked until I was 14 and my rabbit died (I had 2 rabbits, the other one is still alive) and I barely slept that night because I was so worried that the other one would die the next day (she didn't obviously, she's still alive - this was January 2021) and I started doing these certain routines to prevent my rabbit from dying that had to be exactly the same everyday, even if I knew they wouldn't do anything, I just couldn't stop because there was always that voice in my head saying 'what if she will die if you don't do it?' So I still at 16 years old haven't been able to stop it and more things keep adding to the routine even if the actions are really dumb and pointless. Another example is when I finish cleaning out my rabbit, when I have the routine, I have to close the door in a certain way and when I lock it, I have to push the handle down twice or someone will break in. It was even worse when another rabbit I got in summer 2021 who died end of November 2021. I felt I had to control these things so I had control over my life and my feelings. Don't know why I'm saying this in the past tense because it is still happening lol. I just realised how long this is, sorry whoever is reading this, I didn't intend it to be-
    I believe whatever I have is genetic since my mum has this thing she mentioned once years ago that she has to touch the frame of her bed (not sure if that's what it's called) or something bad will happen.
    Okay bye lol, hope whoever else is struggling finds a way out and their life will get better :)

    As a person who has ocd
    I’m too scared to even tell anyone that I struggle with ocd…once I told one of my friends about it and she was like “oh so your like a cleanliness freak?” And the other girl was like “no you don’t I never seee you crying and cleaning everything over small minor changes stop lying”
    That hurt my feelings so much…I don’t think they understand that ocd doesn’t only affect a person in this cleanliness way…
    There various unknown types and ways that each individual in different ways
    My pattern is very very different than this
    It’s comparing with others making me insecure and making me change the smallest mistakes in fear and I feel like I’m in danger for no reason when I’m in unknown places….that is an intrusive way it affects me….and they make fun of me…so this is an obsession of feeling insecure and scared….and the only way I feel normal is if I behave using my compulsions….it’s not like I wanted o have this.l,it just happened and it sometimes make me breakdown…..it’s really really stressful to being in a situation to choose between the things you don’t really know….I got help and a therapist….I’m fine because of my therapy sessions ocd can go away eventually but it can always be triggered to come back with any type of traumatic experience……..so please if you know anyone with ocd don’t judge them or their situation instead try to help them and not make things worse for them….🥺

    I have diagnosed ocd. I was diagnosed later in life so it's just always been that way. A long time ago I realized my ocd would really get amped up if I was stressed. I try to pay attention to this and make adjustments to my self care. Sometimes it's really tiring doing the things I do. Mainly I will wet my hands then apply a tiny amount of moisturizer, only to touch something and it not feel 'right' so I wet hands again and do the whole thing over. Sometimes I'm trapped in the bathroom until it feels right. I have checked locked doors that I know I locked already, forever. I even remember checking the walls for hot spots when I was a child. I unplug everything, drives my husband and teen son nuts. It doesn't help that one of my children has a food allergy, this is devastating for someone with ocd. I pray a lot, The Lord does help me.

    To all the Indians out there - just hang in there, we all are this together. As a person suffering from ocd myself i know we tend to lose hope lot of times and start cursing fate like why are sounds in my mind talking to me constantly which is really physically and mentally draining, so please don't lose hope .
    Try to gain as much information as possible, find about your symptoms and their triggers. Postpone your compulsions as much as you can and divert your mind to other places eventually the frequency of compulsions will reduce to min . And most importantly try to find a psychiatrist who you can tell about each and every feeling, symptoms and compulsions that would be a great help. If nothing else atleast tell this problem to one person whom you are most comfortable with sharing information and one you can rely on it . Keep yourself busy and occupied as much as possible, find any short term or long term goal and thrive to achieve it, ya obviously ocd will get into this but once you fight back and keep yourself busy the intrusive thought and compulsions will diminish, ya simply koi stand-up hi dekhlo aur kam pe lag jao. Remember we all are in this together. Just hang in there.

The horrible intrusive thoughts, the fears, the tics that mimic Tourette's.. :( We need more general knowledge and understanding because people jump on the OCD train for little to no reason and don't comprehend the levels that people go through.

    I have OCD. Yes I like my home nice and clean and organized If someone moves something or doesn't put something back the way I had it,, I fly into a rage. I actually hurt myself rather then hurt the one that did it. Because they probably didn't mean to or think that it would affect me that way. I try hard to not let someone know how angry I get. I repress my emotions until they're gone but it's getting hard to control it. I have severe depression, bi polar, PTSD. I get severely emotional and think people are trying to hurt me by angering me.

    One of the things I struggle with the most is that I have phobia of insects developed from the intrusive thoughts I have of insects, since I was little I would perform compulsive behaviors to feel better from being around bugs.. thankfully exposure therapy has helped me so much and now I'm not afraid of some bugs like butterflies and most bugs that crawl, I still can't be around bugs that fly, but it's getting better as I continue therapy

Those two examples everywhere and so clishe and for most people OCD is much different. I'm a veteran in OCD, has it for twenty years now. At the beggining I tried to look up anything I could find, but guess what... There were thing about cleaning... :D I got tired of reading them so I stopped. I just cope with my OCD.

    This made me sob. It’s a very difficult disorder. Some times depending on the stress, I have to take things moment by moment. Second guessing my thoughts, myself. It’s a ride you just never get off of, you just deal with things as you go.

    I'm really close to doing something extremely bad that I won't come back from and I'm already self harming myself and I'm just don't see anyway to get out of this hell I'm in and I have ptsd, social anxiety and depression. It's caused me to go through hell and I'm still going through it and I have no friends, my family hates me, my life is miserable and I have no one who is there for me and it's gotten to the point know that what people say have no meaning like when people say things will get better and stuff like that it has no meaning I have lost any reason to be alive and I don't see anyway out except taken my life but I know I won't but eventually it's going to get to the point where I will have no hidden things some how blocking me from doing it and it will be over. I have tried to talk to my family but right after they turn to there evil ways and then every time I try to make friends it either ends with them being fake or it being one sided or they just shut me out for no reason or if there is a reason they won't tell me and it sucks. I have a therapist but I only see her for 30 minutes every other week and It sucks cause I have so much to say but no one to listen to me or if they do listen they don't care. I have no reason to live and don't know what to do cause talking does very little to nothing cause I never can talk to the same person every time I need to and I don't feel loved or cared for st all. I probably repeated myself but sadly that's what my life is at right now

      @jeff6413 Год назад +3

      This makes me sad, too. I upvoted the comment to get it more traction so someone can maybe help. I hope that you can find a reason to live. I also hope you can feel safe to tell your therapist (or at least a professional) about these suicidal thoughts you're having. And get on a good treatment plan (which can possibly include medication).
      I don't really know the right words but know that I want you to be happy.

    I'm not much of a person who organises things but i always like to see things in a series, like the chairs always put up in a straight line in a restaurant, and always organise my chair after I'm done, maybe it's a part of manners but it's relieving for sm reason

    First of all, sorry for my English, I'm french. I have OCD and lately I've completed my therapy (1 year and 6 months of CBT). I have obsessions about thresholds (physicals and psychologicals), intrusive thoughts, fear of irreversible changes, etc. Paroxetine made improvements much easier but the OCD is still here (I use to see like a person who was constantly testing me about my insecureness ["Sébastien, you are a bad person if you do this, if you think that...", etc.] and my fears; now I try to look at it more like a radio always on, that I can't reach and turn down when I want, and I try to live with it [and not listening to it]). Feel free to contact me if you have any question. Love your channel! Take care.

    Im so happy that they're discussing what OCD is for what it actually truly is. I hate it when people connect OCD to being tidy and perfect. I have OCD and am also a perfectionist but those two things are completely different topics from each-other. My sister also has OCD and is the least organized or perfect person I know.

    My OCD is not debilitating in a way other people suffers on. Mine’s constantly having the urge to keep everything tidy, or to fix untidiness, even when it means that I’ll get dirty myself. I literally renovated a garden just because I find it untidy. It gets me going sometimes but after that is energy crash. Dunno if OCD or not.

    Thank you , I realised recently , a few months ago I had ocd , it changed my life completely
    One of the first symptoms might’ve been when I was 4 , I had a weird thought that didn’t belong to me at al , it stopped til 9 but at 6 I had mental rituals when I was very angry and had a bit of anger issues and the rituals would calm it

    I've had OCD from a very young age -to a point where I count my total steps and amount of times I've stepped on a line, trying to get it to an even amount- but my mother never accepted the fact and because of her I've learned to live with it and I now use it to my advantage in terms of organizing stuff.
