@davidjonesmental: OCD is happening because your brain wants it to (it thinks it’s protecting you from what you are most against) #ocdawareness #ocd #ocdlife #ocdrecovery
Contamination OCD for around 8 years, I’m practically disabled and was told at a young age that it’s not curable. I don’t know if I will ever live a normal life. I don’t have a job, I was a volunteer firefighter and liked it but had to quit. I want to see the world but again, I’m not even capable of having a job

I’m cracking up I thought you were going to say that specific tiger caused ocd somehow

What's horrible is when everyone else around you tells you it's no big deal or just relax but to you it feels so real and you don't listen to them. But they're actually right. 🫠

I like where you’re going with this however the core cause / core problem with ocd is very often a result of trauma

p :
this makes even more sense if its after a big traumatic event that makes you want to protect yourself from experiencing something like this ever again

This is great. Sending it to my husband so maybe he’ll understand more. I told him last night I think about the kids not surviving 100x a day. He was shocked. It’s awful. But that would be my worst thing.

Why is the brain sick a POS all the time. Thinking it’s helping me. Yet I know it’s not. So why does it still sabotage.

i had a talk with my psychiatrist about this once and he had this very interesting point of view that the human brain hasn't caught up in evolution to the demands of modern society yet, and you see our primal survival instincts projected into mundane life

i’ve been dealing with the same OCD fear thoughts for the last eight years with my brain still trying to convince me that it’s real. It’s been absolutely exhausting! I know it’s not real, but it’s so scary how your brain tries to convince you that it is! Just wish that I could get rid of it for good.

I have the worst contamination OCD. It affects me negatively daily but my brain won’t allow me to go to therapy because I’m scared of what the therapist will make me do

My driving is what my brain latched onto. It was brutal. Doing the exposure and response prevention was almost as bad as the fear itself.

So you learned what it is, and that healed you? What did you actually do to heal yourself? I’m just hearing an explanation of what OCD is here

This might have to be my new go to video for explaining my OCD to others but also my new reminder (not reassurance I promise) for myself. This brought a lot of clarity.
