Thank you for sharing that. It was very helpful for me. When you wipe the place they touched you, is it because you feel there might be germs or some other reason?

Always knew I had OCD of some sort but never knew there was a name for it, wow. Thank you!

Yes, I am from country where mental issues are rarely considered an issue...always heard "just suck it up...others have it worst"...but knowing now there is a name for my mental issue...for my voice in the brain...there are millions of people suffering like me....just being in the know itself made me feel heard...really i now feel i am not alone in the world with these issues...all those counting rituals even now when i place the drink on car cup holder, i have to put it down without touching any sides like a basketball going in through hoop without touching any rim or net...like perfect shot, i play that game/ritual again again till one point, i compromise or bargain with OCD...now I know...what is causing it and there is name for it! first time yesterday i didnt feel the need to put down the coffee cup in the car cup holder in "perfect" way!

i feel less insane bc of these videos

I have had Just Right OCD my entire life and I have NEVERRRR been able to describe it to anyone because it’s so confusing and just OCD did not explain or describe what I experience. I JUST found out about Just Right OCD a few weeks ago and it is one of the most relieving and validating things I’ve ever experienced in my 34 years of living with this. You are also valid and you are absolutely not alone. 🫂

58 years old and self diagnosed around 13...was bad back then when this disorder was not known..learned to live with it without meds. Glad I remained strong through it's ups and downs..great advice

37 and having a major flare up and through some treatment for depression I'm realizing how much of this is OCD. I've always known I have it. When it's under control It isn't too bothersome but during this flare up it's so strong. I can only hope kids today get treatment right away. I didn't get any treatment until I was like 19 and even then it was mostly tied to depression and anxiety.

I love the reminder/perspective to separate pleasing the OCD vs pleasing myself. Makes it feel easier to delay the compulsions. I get in a bind when it involves time. For example: delaying needing to get a relationship or conversation or closure or something "just right" (sometimes in communication with them, or in researching or finding answers). But the more time I delay not doing this, I feel the panic (or, OCD does!) of wasting time and not doing the right thing in order to solve it (ie: "it's all up to me and if I do nothing for too long, I will lose someone"). I'm not sure how much that is ocd or how much is another issue. It seems to interconnect.

Thank you so much for this video! I think I have had this type of OCD since I was 6 and it was when I learned about even and odd numbers. My self-conscious always drifted to even numbers, which ended up making me have an unhealthy obsession with getting the number 'just right'. Always focusing on numbers in my mind. I have found it to grow increasingly worse over time, so much that I find it to interfere with my daily life and/or my sleep schedule as well. This video really did give me some strength to overcome the urges, even though it is EXTREMELY difficult as I have allowed the compulsions for YEARS. It's an overwhelming struggle. As I am writing this comment, I am struggling against the urges in my body; wriggling my toes the correct amount of times, blinking until it feels right, I was even focused on how many times you were blinking in this video... ~sigh~

I’ve had this for 13 years and I always just thought they were personal habits of mine. I never thought that there was someone else on this planet who had this and knew what it felt like too. I’m just finding out THIS second after I decided to Google my “symptoms” and that lead me here. I’m beyond surprised, amazed and bewildered at this. Btw my special number used to be odd (3) but is now even (2). I don’t think I can fully describe everything I’m feeling right now after finding out about this!

Fantastic explanation. I love your style, you are so encouraging and sunny. I am reassured (in the good way) to know I am doing the right thing by pushing back. The OCD will tell you you’re trying to lie to yourself, that the triggering event needs to be responded to with a ritual (in my case I have a mix of Just Right and disgust contamination OCD), but of course it’s the OCD that is lying. I’m making the effort to fight back whenever I can, and know that the positive effects will continue to snowball. Thank you for these videos!

Thanks for this video, Natasha! Watching it has reminded me how I really need to take my power back so I can really live! Giving in to just right ocd for so long had significantly stifled my growth and I just can't live enslaved any longer. I must challenge this bully more and more to undo this false sense of control that has developed.

After a looong time spent in ocd, I forget even after being aware of the disorder lately, that the way I think I should do things or things should be done isn’t a “universal standard” but rather a deception created by my own mind: for example, I only have to look over there whilst talking or eating, I cannot look towards right in ANY CASE or something bad will happen, or it will be considered extremely rude to others etc. and I realised that it was NOT considered rude by anybody and it doesn’t matter to anyone where I look… I live by all these rules and I don’t know how to break free this illusion and even notice it as I’m doing it so much.

For me, I have always had to have things in my line of site orderly and straight. I complete collections of items with obsession. And I can’t let a little piece of rubish go that’s on the floor.

Hi! I'm a 15 year old girl from the Philippines. I just wanna share. I don't think I have OCD (because I am not diagnosed yet) and I also don't wanna think that I have OCD because the more I think about it, the more it reminds me to do these compulsions. If ever I may have OCD, I think it's this type (just right) because mine has something to do with "pressure and balance." For example: If I touch the doorknob with my right hand, I also have to touch it with my left hand so that both hands will get the same feeling. Also, when someone hits me in the arm, I also have to hit my other arm and if it has more impact, I have to hit my other arm again until it's just right. I don't know why I do these but I just can't stop it. I can control it sometimes but most of the time it's just bothering me. If I open up about this to my parents, they might say like I'm crazy and tell me to stop it, but I can't really stop it. If ever there are any grammatical errors, I'm sorry because I'm really not so good with English. I just wanna vent out and I'm actually glad that it's not just me who's suffering this. Thank you. PS: I heard about this illness when I was in 8th grade, and until now I'm still researching and educating myself.

@@tomkay4881 It's a common misconception from TV and culture that OCD is just things like switching door locks and lights, or fighting germs. As I've been in therapy for it for over a year, im amazed how many nuances there are. For example, some are just in your mind, how you talk to yourself, or rumination and researching... not only tangible, repetitive physical actions. It's quite broad and fascinating how it manifests 😊

God I put off going to bed because I know that it’s going to be this never ending amount of checking I check the same things over and over again not a certain amount of times but until I feel like it’s just right it’s like I don’t trust myself that I did it correctly the first time or the second time the third time the fourth time or the fifth time it’s exhausting and I am so ready to be done with it thank you for this video

Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos. We are new to OCD and trying to support our child the best way we can. I was asking her about what was happening in her head when she did certain things the other day and she told me sometimes it's to do with even numbers, especially the number 4, sometimes things have to look "just right" and sometimes Scar (from Lion King) tells her to do it. How do I help her with the latter? Thank you so much.

Omggg I have this thank you veryy much my ocd always tells me to do things in certain numbers and when I do complete it , it always says to me that I didn't do it right.

I have debilitating OCD and panic disorder. I suffer from many different subsets of OCD, but 'just right' is my major problem. It is with hand washing :( In an average day I spend 1.5 to 2 hours at the sink, on bad days it's even more. I have a routine that I have to do just right (imagine that) before I can dry my hands and touch anything\eat etc. This makes life especially difficult for me because I have a contamination phobia as well, so after I touch something that I haven't been previously handling (ie. computer mouse, keyboard) I have to wash my hands before I touch something else. This has caused me to completely stop cooking at home because I have to wash my hands after every single item I touch :| It is SO exhausting and causes me a lot of physical pain from standing at the sink in a bent stance for so long (I have a spinal condition that causes me lots of pain regardless). Do you have any tips, or like a plan or some kind of worksheet or something that could help me? I have got to get this under control, it's been killing me for YEARS and I will sometimes forego eating because the handwashing is too overwhelming. I make baby steps sometimes, but I feel like every time I make a little progress I lose it the next day. I've tried washing my hands in a not 'just right' manner and eating afterwards, which resulted in a panic attack :| and does everytime.

I literally had to Google how to help my just right ocd because I got two tattoos today and they aren’t perfect in my head… it’s consumed me all night

Trying to remember something I analyse in the past , is that just right OCD ? For example I can’t remember it in the right way and it brings a lot of anxiety and distress . I keep trying and trying to remember but I just can’t get it right but my mind wants me to do it over and over until I remember

Hi, it was recently brought to my attention that I might have “just right” OCD, so of course, I came to KZread for research and came across your video. I don’t know if you did this intentionally or not, but that pink “A” that matches nothing else in frame was so distracting to me that I had to go back and replay parts of the video telling myself to focus on what you were saying instead of it.

I think I have this but it’s really only for school things like I started panicking at school bc my notes where not right but I couldn’t go back and my hand started shaking and my handwriting wasn’t write and I couldn’t go back to fix it

I create daily schedule and i dont feel just right. And I spend more than 10hours somedays on that. Even after finishing it my mind won't just stop thinking about it. And all i do is schedule i dont get anything done. And I feel miserable.

I never had ocd now I'm thirty years old with severe just right ocd. I have severe social anxiety and panic attack disorder and now it's gone into this direction. I collect DVDs and I have to click them closed till it sounds just right then I have to examine the front and back to make sure there isn't a speck of dust on it or until it feels just right. It takes up hours of my day to examine only two DVDs! I'm suffering greatly. I want to leave this earth

@@maciek8159 basically it’s that you need to confront the anxiety of not doing the action ie on your case reviewing the dvd….coz you got discomfort of not dong it right? That’s why we learn to embrace the anxiety caused by ocd then we get better and better later on and we don’t need to listen to ocd and do the compulsion he asked to

hello, is the feeling like 'something is not good enough/not understand something enough and have to redo/reread (homework/assignment/drawing)?' a just right ocd or its another type? thank you

When he sits to study his inner voice says to sit in particular position to study .(some random posture ) 5 . He reads and re- reads same paragraph till he is satisfied ( he feels he has not been able to memorise it properly ) 6 In his phone he wants certain words to be in caps or certain words to be in small ( default settings which can be changed manually ) 7 .He struggles to find his clothings which are of some particular choice especially jeans. 8 While serving food if he accidently spills something on his plate he gets anxious ,he wants to clean it no matter how insignificant it could be . 9 As a result of all this he is not able to study at all ,and is avoiding to write completely .
