"Am I sick or is it just anxiety?" My therapist told me everyone thinks people with OCD are super organized and it's perfectionists, but the only organized things about us is the disorder. Counting the tiles in my bathroom is more important than eating. Showering until I feel clean is more important than studying for the test tomorrow, even though my heart's racing and there's a little voice inside my head yelling I'll fail the test if I don't study. But I don't feel clean yet.

A lot of people are self-diagnosing because of this video, and to save time from replying hundreds of times, I'll make a comment. If you think you have anxiety, or OCD, tell a doctor. It could be that you're just an anxious person in general, or you actually have anxiety. Not to mention, it is VERY normal for "regular" people to have these fast thoughts in their mind. Back to my point, however, PLEASE don't self-diagnose because of a KZread video and then go living your life thinking you have anxiety or another serious condition.

Angie Reyes Thank you so much!! I know so many people who self diagnose OCD, and Anxiety attacks and even 'Panic Attacks' when they mean anxiety attacks, and its incredibly annoying. I have pretty bad anxiety (no numbers here), to the point where I stress myself out enough to get ulcers. People think 'oh I have rapid thoughts, I have an anxiety disorder'. Or they think 'oh I get nervous in certain situations (even in common situations), I must have something wrong', I hate to tell you your issue isn't valid, but usually occasional anxiety is normal. I don't know why people try to convince me they're 'sick'. Why do you want this, if you think it gets you attention? it doesn't. People just get annoyed at the incessant double and triple checking. This video shows a normal day, my brain has conversations identical to this, it's how I make decisions, it's weighing the odds, what will be worse (not better). I wake up panicking if i over slept, panicking if i did everything I needed to yesterday. The way people say 'panic attack', no you got upset, or at the most had an anxiety attack/breakdown (and maybe you have often breakdowns and yes maybe talk to someone). but 'Panic Attacks' are a COMPLETELY diagnosed term. I do not have a panic disorder WHICH ARE DIFFERENT, therefore I have frequent anxiety attacks. Panic Attacks are unprovoked and have no stressor, therefore unpredictable. I've seen both many times. I am manageable because I'm educated, please don't respond trying to one up me either, I'm sure you've suffered worse than me, take your pride. Sorry if this was butthurt but people need to understand.

I totally agree with you. I related to some of this but it's not as nerve wrecking and constant as this video. What this video depicts is a real struggle brought by a disorder and what I, and so many others self-diagnosing in the comments, have is just a bit of anxiety and/or an easily distracted mind (which explains how easily you can get obsessed with something else instead of doing your real tasks). Real OCD isn't something as simple as having a few pet peves or getting nervous easily, it's something far more complicated and that, as you said, must be diagnosed by a real professional, not a KZread video or a "what mental illness you have?" test online. People who self diagnose and use it as an excuse are making people with real mental illnesses seem whiny and liars, because they are put in the same box as the tumblr SJW.

This is absolutely terrifying to hear out loud. OCD, anxiety, depression, PTSD. I hate being inside my own head some days. The vulnerability it makes you feel might be one of the worst things. This nailed the non-stop of overlapping overwhelming thoughts. Idk, just knowing I'm not alone is reassuring but then at the same time the emotions are just too much. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense whatsoever. But either way, thank you for this video and comment section. Seeing so many other people who understand all together is so comforting

I was diagnosed with Mental OCD which is not to be confused with OCD but if you have OCD I am NOT taking anything away from you, you will be the best you can be, give it time. This video is practically spot on. I personally experience a few differences; however, this video is a great example. It’s not always making sure that paper stack is cornered perfectly, it’s not making sure the shoes you have are perfectly matched and equally spaced apart (These are examples of OCD). Mental OCD is overthinking every single thing that happens throughout your day. If someone gives you the wrong look, hours upon days upon weeks upon months you are thinking about this situation. “Why did he look at me like that!” “Why did he give me that face?” “What was in his mind when he looked at me like that?” It’s a mental issue where we think about certain things on a constant basis and never understand what actually happened. Whoever out there has OCD, just remember you are not alone.

Hi just curious if by "Mental OCD" you mean Pure OCD?

Much love and hope you're doing better with managing this!

I literally burst out laughing at the Ebola part because I was so happy to see someone else obsess over something like that!!! The earliest manifestation of my OCD was hand washing due to an extreme fear of germs, which developed into hypochondria as I got older. I could not count how many times I've been scared that I'm sick with a horrible disease or I've been scared that I've infected someone else with one because I touched something that "might" have had the disease on it and then spread it to them. Thank you for making this video, it's a gift to us all.

Second guessing, obsessing, shame, feeling frantic not knowing how much time you lost during a freak out.....It's not that we(or he) hears actual "voices" in his head.

Does it set me apart from everyone else? No, I'm normal just as everyone else , but no one is normal on the surface, but if you dig down you'll find my flaws just as everyone else in the world.

Adam Weber Yeah, my brother is autistic and he has someone come round our house every couple of days. Anyway, the guy that comes round has changed the timing of when he comes round (so that I'm not at school), because he thinks that I have some sort of social/anxiety disorder. (I overheard my parents talking to the guy about it, but they haven't told me yet)... But I've done my research, and I'm pretty sure that I have OCD.

Showed this to one of my siblings today to help give an idea of what OCD is like. It was really hard not to get emotional because this hits home so hard

Oh gosh, the counting sleep hours...and the steps...and the times you touch certain things. It's actually nice seeing this. I thought I was the only one who constantly had thoughts running through their heads, talking themselves through the day to keep going. It's nice seeing that OCD really is, not just the 'fear of germs' that some of the doctors even talk about.

Wow this is TOOO accurate...

Shit, this is pretty me everyday. That's fucking accurate. One of the things that really annoys me is that whenever I start reading those stupid comments below I FUCKING HAVE TO READ THEM ALL! Oh! And if I'm reading a really long text, I have to make sure I didn't miss a single line, so I keep checking over and over again if I got to exactly consecutive line after finishing the previous. That takes soooo much time of my precious life! I didn't notice it was so serious before.

This made me feel like crying. As someone who has OCD but sadly suffer with pure evil and often times violent and truly frightening thoughts that make me feel disgusting inside this has to be the most on point way to describe OCD to someone on the outside. I'm in college now, trying to turn my life around and have finally after 35 years of life come to the reality that my intrusive thoughts are becoming more violent and disturbing as I get older (I have never ever acted on my thoughts not once in my entire life) but it doesn't change the fact it's really starting to scare me now and I feel like a monster, like I don't deserve to be a part of a functioning society with the types of distressing thoughts I have been getting over the last few years. These thoughts do not represent me or my personality in any way shape or form, I am nothing like what they have me believe I would do. Some of them are truly terrible, it feels as if I can see myself doing them even though I won't. It's enough to scare you from seeking help because to someone on the outside who doesn't understand OCD would take it very poorly. I realise now i'm turning my life around that it's time to seek proper help from an expert. My OCD is slowly stealing my free will to think for myself from me, I mean it always has but now more than ever. I can't do it alone anymore. I recently thought back to a time when I actually had control of my own thoughts, real control. There hasn't ever been one.

I have OCD and this is exactly how this is what it feels like

Also, in the end, he has a bit of a panic attack. Yea, everyone has a little anxiety about this or that even with illness. In this video, though the thoughts are consuming him, controlling his day. For normal people they are just passing thoughts, for him they are real fears. He can't focus or concentrate on anything because of all these thoughts running through his head.

I think the problem is that mental health issues are not talked about much, they are still a somewhat taboo subject, where I live at least. People hide these kind of things, whether they have depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD - we have to smile and carry on as normal. Therefore, when you look around it seems like everyone else is 'normal' and happy. It would seem like they don't struggle with the things I struggle with. That would be a logical assumption, surely? I wouldn't suggest that my struggle is the greatest or the worst possible suffering, I know many people have it a lot worse. But can't I still recognise that I have a problem?

I feel like writing this will make me feel better. This is my life every day. I have learned to deal with it but sometimes I just can't. I finally feel like people understand how I feel from watching this video. I will look up the symptoms of something (whatever I think it is) even if I don't want to. I also have a problem with eating sometimes, where I will be fine all day sometimes but other times I will be insanely worried about eating to the point of have no appetite and I also am already extremely cautious with food because of my extreme peanut allergy. I also have an obsession with numbers sometimes, mostly even numbers, like everything I do has to be in even amounts. I feel much better after writing this and I hope others do too. I also don't know about whoever is reading this, but I am a pianist, cellist, and a cuber (a Rubik's Cube type puzzle solver/a speed solver) and I found that having a passion for one or more things really helps me relax.

Wow, we literally have the same problem, whenever I think I have something or if somehting is wrong with me, I search it up, although I really don't want to but I have too. I had a severe peanut allergy as well, until I went in to see if I was allergic still and the doctors told me I wasn't, but yet, with my anxiety I still didn't want to eat peanuts, I would still act as if I was allergic to them, I had a big fear of peanuts, it started when someone injected an epi pen into me although I didn't need it, after that I wouldn't get near a peanut, I could barely go to school, i wouldn't want to eat anything, I would check the ingredients more then once. It ruined my life. But I have learned to overcome it, I am no longer afraid of peanuts, although I still don't eat them, I guess I just got so tired of worrying I just couldn't worry anymore, although I still get minor panic attacks but I can deal with them. After anxiety, I had OCD, I had to do things a certain way or a number or times..

Your video is very accurate. Thank you again

Thank you so much for making this. This really does explain what’s going on in my head and how I feel. I used to just throw around the term loosely before I actually realized that I had this condition (as well as anxiety). I was bothered by the smallest things, but now, I’ve come to learn that ocd is not just wanting to have pencils lined up in a certain order or having books placed neatly. Yes, that may be a cause in some cases, but it’s also the thoughts that come in as well. I’m constantly having thoughts in my head that make my life like hell. But this video does explain everything, so I thank you very much for this.

I have OCD and anxiety. I've given them both a personal definition that works for me: Obsession - A fear which becomes a fixation on an imaginary threat. Anxiety - Reacting to an imaginary threat. Breaking it down in simple terms has helped me rationalize the chaotic cycle that goes on in my brain. Furthermore, I've realized that my lack of self love and fear of being no good is really the root cause behind my obsessions.

I have diagnosed OCD and i am realizing it most likely came from teachers at a young age treating me like i was filth, cursing and hitting me every time i made a mistake, telling other kids not to play with me etc. Im gonna go to a therapist again this month, gonna see what they think!

This is slowly becoming my favorite channel

I'm crying right now. the way the voice keeps rephrasing all of my thoughts over and over again, and the counting! I thought i was the only one with the random counting!!

this made me tear up.. the anxiety he felt with almost exactly what i feel

I think I might have a mild form of OCD, but I don't have thoughts like this. I usually get images in my mind that I don't want to see; things I am scared of, or worried about for example. To get rid of the image I feel the need to do something, like moving the objects in front of me in a certain direction. I don't know why, but it helps me calm down and it makes me think that "this scary thing is not going to happen to me now", just because I moved an object, or blinked at something. It kind of scares me, because in my brain it makes sense, but it really doesn't. I know that it isn't realistic, but I can't help but think that it is. It's embarrassing to talk about - I don't want people to know this because very few people actually understand the problem.

It is a chemical imbalance that makes us do what we think needs to be done in order for things to be right. I would think something and if I felt like if I did this movement or do a certain thing, it would clear this irrational fear. I have gained control over that but I still check things repeatedly, such as the stove even though I hadn't even used it. I would love to talk to you more about this if you would like. Sometimes I feel so alone and wonder why on earth I have to deal with this. I am actually going to major in psychology and counselling Lord willing. I feel like there is a reason I am struggling with it.

thank you so much for this! This is so accurate with what goes on in my mind with ocd. Oh my gosh, thank you! I can show my family and friends this, to help them understand what goes on up here ;-;

My anxiety: Maybe I shouldn't. I can't. Cancel all plans. I'm too worried. Fuck, now everyone thinks I'm a wuss. They're talking about me, making fun of me. They hate me. THEY HATE ME. My depression: I hate myself. I hate myself. I'm a terrible person. I shouldn't be alive. I should kill myself. No one likes me. I don't belong here. God, why am I here? Terrible. Awful. Disappointment. Bad faces. Bad, I'm bad, I did bad, I deserve nothing less, why does everyone HATE me? My paranoia: I see things, I hear things, I'm too jumpy, going down stairs is a hassle. Shadows are a hassle. No, keep the lights on! I can't sleep without a light on! Are the trees outside waving at me? They're going to kill me. Oh God, I hate the nighttime. I can't wait until morning. Something is going to kill me. There's a monster in the closet. It's under my bed. I'm panicking. I swear something moved. It's all in my head. All in my head. No, I can't sleep now, I'll never wake up. Stay awake. Stay awake. Don't go to sleep till there's light. I'll be safer then. My friends and family: You're okay. You'll always be okay. We're here for you.

i know exactly how you feel. Shut your eyes and try to envision: Someone, somewhere on this planet will be able to relate. This is what i learned i Group therapy. You're not as alone as you think. Sometimes it is impossible to ignore the voices in your head telling you that no one will understand and that you're crazy. Never forget how strong you are for not letting go. Tell the voices, "Fuck yourself". Write on your mirror: " I am divine love" and look and smile at yourself because you are wonderful and amazing.

Recently diagnosed and trying to find the balance between wrapping my head around it enough and not obsessing over the diagnosis, and this video (and the comments) are giving me my first instance of peace💜

Thank you for sharing this. OCD is not talked about nearly enough and most people don't understand what it is really about. Thank you for bringing more attention to it.

Thank god you made this! Does this look like just him going 'oh those pens are not straight!' NO OCD isnt something you have just because you want something straight. Its an exhausting mental illness that is tiring for anyone with it.

I feel so bad for people who need to face OCD and anxiety everyday :-(

Thank you for creating this video. This is a topic that should be discussed a lot more in public. It would stop the feeling of guilt and shame, each OCD sufferer has.

Thank you so much for posting this! I have suffered with ocd for as long as I can remember. This is literally my brain all day every single day.😭

I might have just figured out what the fuck is wrong with me

I was balling my eyes out during this video I resonate so much with you. This is my mind every day. You are not alone trust me.

This is soo relatable, the first time i heard it my ocd confirmed it, it was overlapping questioning whether or not it was, thankyou, i had never managed to fully understand the overlapping thoughts, it had never occured to me that it is like that, you captured this so perfectly. This is so helpful, anyone i ever know who asks will now be reffered to this.

Oh my god, oh my god. I feel SEEN. This video is incredibly accurate. I can’t believe my family acted like this was normal. I go through this every single damn day. I need help. Time to get it. ❤️ You confirmed my ocd suspicions. I knew I had it. I’m not eating because of many irrational fears that feel so real constantly. 🌸

I've never been diagnosed with OCD and I don't have anxiety, but sometimes I wonder if I have a very mild form of OCD. Many of the thoughts in this video sound so familiar to me. I feel like me brain works in a very similar way, only not to a point that I get anxiety over it. Sometimes I exhaust myself just thinking. I can only imagine how someone with full blown OCD must feel everyday.

+Nihal Muniah OCD is acually kind of uncommon, it's just a lot of people self diagnose themselves or they are wrongly diagnose. Most of these people are just anxious or have anxiety. I am not saying that you don't have a mild case. But, it isn't common, and you should see a doctor before confirming. (sorry this comment is late XD)

dont makes something a provlem if it isnt...having symproms of mental illness doesnt mean you are mentally ill as the condition needs to either be dangerous, cause issues in your ability to do normal tasks, and/or cause you distress. if you have racing thoughts and they dont bother you then you are perfectly fine...in many cases treatment for a disorder is a matter of making someone ok with the symptoms so that it doesn't bother them (not in most cases of course) but remember if it doesnt negatively effect you then it isnt a problem
