I have OCD and I've always kinda figured you did just because we think
kinda identically and I don't see that very often In the world. No, not all
humans do this but I'm sure quite a bit of the audience you attract does.
Especially those of us obsessed enough to watch this channel. Well I just
like that sort of thing but yeah. All of the smartest, most talented people
of all time have or had OCD. There are a bunch of different kinds though
and certain people have less desirable ones than others
Are you talking about murderers or the crime itself? If so, I've been
overly interested in people like Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy. I
think it's because I've always been intrigued by the human mind itself. I'm
very into psychology and being able to get some insight on why people act
the way that they do, so on and so forth. Occasionally, I'll browse the
internet looking at crime scenes. I don't think it's because you're
violent. Maybe you're intrigued by violence? Just don't act upon it.
I find myself constantly thinking about time and age, I don't know why.
I'll pick a year, and I'll include everyone I view important or admire and
see how old they were in a certain year, and how much they've aged since
then, how time has quickly passed by. How this was triggered I don't know
why. It's like I'll look back to 2000, and I'll see that TJ was only 15,
only a teen, seems like yesterday, now, in 2011, 26 a grown adult, how
conditions can change so quickly due to time and how it
Yes I too compulsively check on things, but I think that is mostly
something we do to supplement our time with, because of a lack of other
things that hold our attention. I don't think obsession is the correct word
to explain this behavior. Rather it is a form of entertainment. I suppose
most obsessions are an extreme focus on one kind of entertainment. This
type of behavior is much like a dog chewing on a bone. Our minds are like
flames that need fuel to burn, and to keep burning.
I've always had the issue where at least once a day for no less than 30
minutes I will start thinking about the shit that we probably will never
know and start freaking out about it's complexity until someone or
something knocks me back to earth. I know one you've touched on is the
universe edge paradox. If something ends, what's after the end, and if it
doesn't end, how far does it go, etc, etc. Gets in the way of actually
doing things that are relevant, like going to work.
I'm always theorizing on the possibilities of what would happen had I
stayed with this one girl whom I had sex with. I wasn't into her at all but
every girl who likes you always makes it more apparent when you're in a
relationship and I wonder if I would've graduated onto another girl who
actually like me for me. Another is the different ways I can prepare a hot
dog. No kidding. And finally I can't leave the house alone until I turn off
all the lights and lock the doors.
I don't obsess about very specific things like that, but I do idealize A
LOT. Hours, days and weeks before I'm about to do something I'll just keep
thinking about how great it's going to be. And when I do I'm always just
setting myself up for disappointment because I've built it up so big in my
head that whatever the outcome is it's never good enough... at least most
of the time. I feel weird commenting 'cause I watched this video when it
came out over a year ago.
This basically includes everyone who did something that actually mattered.
Famous people with OCD: Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, obviously. Charles
Darwin, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Michael Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Donald
Trump, Martin Scorsese, (Chris Nolan probably does too just because he's
the best plus he's apparently making a new Howard Hughes movie. But he's
not on any of these lists.) Winston Churchill, Howard Stern, A shit ton
others.
Aside from the fact that I have compulsions to irrationally try to predict
the future or avoid bad shit by asking myself yes or no questions inside my
head with the answer to them lying in my surroundings, Along with lots of
anxiety, I actually enjoy my OCD for the most part. A lot of it is
everything I love about myself. My obsessions are an ARSENAL. I can
mentally train myself to be more desirable by getting obsessed with certain
shit.
I'm obsessed with my hair because I'm afraid of hair loss...I mean: I'm 20
years old now and I know that if I'm going bald it's gonna be within the
next 10 years from now. So it happens very often in a day that I end up
staring at my forehead looking for some problems even though I know I'm not
really gonna see any change of the situation in a year or so. Although I
just can't avoid checking up to realize I have no sign of baldness yet.
For the past 3 months or so, I have been infatuated with a girl that goes
to a different high school but rides my bus. I would ask her out, but there
are so many reasons why I won't but still I obsess over her every day,
including checking her facebook page constantly and texting her every few
days,while worrying that she thinks I'm a creep, which I am XD it was
bothering me so much that I actually deactivated my facebook account
I am obsessed with two words: Jiggles and Waffles Both are plural for some
reason. and both are actual nicknames of mine. If I can't think of a name
for something, I call it Jiggles. If I'm stumped by somthing or someone I
say Waffles. Also at night, for the last 5-6 months, I won't leave my room
at all because I am scared shitless by The Rake. Its eyes are so...
piercing and just scary beyond belief.
I'd say we all have a need for obsession, otherwise there wouldn't be any
concept of religion. You're probably just seeking to ventilate your need to
mindlessly obsess over something in a constructive manner. Instead of
praising authority, you address something with concern. It's like when you
take a baseball bat to a car, you do it to deal with your emotions in a
controlled manner.
i think im obsessed with keeping my hair combed, whether im home alone or
not, out, if its the middle of the night , or whenever. i just fucking have
to comb it if its out of shape one bit MUST BE COMBED OVER, SMOOTH<
STRAIGHT< PERFECT i just keep thinking about it, it kinda freaks me out
sometimes i have heard if you do something for 28 days, every day, that it
will become a habit
It really touches my heart that you care about Clint Eastwood so much :) He
is an amazing actor, director, and I like to think him as a man alone was
really just incredible. And I think I wonder about my family in Canada
mostly, everyday. My cousin has C.F, my grandpa is on dialysis. I worry
something will go wrong and I'll never get to see them again.
@pokeshmon I'd almost call a bipolar learning syndrome being in that it
comes at random times, without warning and instead of being overly happy or
sad such as is with bipolar disorder your mind is overly examining useless
info but then, I suppose during OCD someone won't ever have the reverse and
under-examine a thing, eh?
@harvesterofsorrow111 I'm the opposite. I've seen the trailer, some screens
& read some info, and that's all I want to see. I felt like Morrowind &
Oblivion were that much better just because I hardly knew anything about
them before I started playing them. I know I'm gonna buy it, so I'd like
everything to be a surprise.
I obsess over things that I am interested in, like fandoms, to a point
where I sometimes feel like I AM one of the characters in the fandom and it
makes it awkward to do certain things like bending over to pick something
off the ground. I also check my deviantArt for messages at least four times
every time I'm on.
@stevai6732 I wish I was like that but the nerd inside me demans I view
every bit of info about this game. They're not going to give anything away
I just want to know what the game is generlly gonna be like and if its
anything like its predecessors or Fallout 3 then we have another GOTY
coming our way.
no offense dude but those thoughts are nothing compared to what people have
had. Sometimes what helps me is to think of someone you respect who can be
passed away or alive and just say what would they think of you having these
thoughts...my reply usually is that they would want you to stop and man up.
@Williamtipq good spelling has been linked to obsessive thoughts... Like I
hypothesized right before this discovery from my own experiences with
spelling. Sadly enough though, I don't remember if I'd read this fact in
The Art of Spelling by M Savant or saw a study online.
I check info on the Elder Scrolls V and that was even well before it came
out, everyday onto google news and then check, its rather satisfying when
info actually came out for it though. Now I check every day to see whats
what even if its stuff thats already been covered.
Big Eminem fan, I know and have heard all of his work and I can say that I
want to know about his status. Not relation or where has he been, just
basically new songs produced or if he is still breathing. These obsessive
yet annoying thoughts are natural indeed.
when im in a public place, or really any place with alot of numbers around,
i will count the numbers, and try to see how many groups of 25 i can make.
also, when watchng youtube videos, i will make note of when the video is at
the halfway mark
The 2 things you were talking about kind of reminded me of how I think if I
don't watch the road while someone else is driving that they're going to
crash. when really me watching the road isn't going to and doesn't prevent
a crash.
I hated anticipating TJ's next videos...because I used to keep refreshing
his page waiting for new vids. Now months later I got other things on my
mind so now Its easier to come across such vids. Less stressful indeed :P
TJ you should set up a Google Alert for "Eastwood Dead" and you will get an
email when those keywords match anything searchable on google. Then you
won't have to stop what you're doing to check that and things like it.
watch the sun and the moon meet at around 6 o clock, it drives me fucking
mad cus i want to stop it, it just annoys me to know that they are going to
meet anyway and that there's nothing i can do and so i watch it
A Rational Guide To Happiness
I've been working on a new project over at https://aaron.coach. Over the years I've struggled with neurotic, obsessive thinking, sadness and depression.
Great vid man. I read The Chimp Paradox by Dr Steve Peters (sport
psychologist). He helped me turn my life around and has helped a lot of
elite sports men and women. I'll certainly check out your ebook.
Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety: Intrusive Thoughts (And a Deathwish?)
Sometimes things I don't want - or choose - to think about will force their way into my mind and I only really have one reaction to get rid of them, but I'm not sure ...
How to overcome agressive intrusive thought?
1. First, its not your mistake.
Because I had and now I recovered from it 99%.
2. That aggressive thought strikes
on your brain suddenly and you keep worry about it.
Dont worry, this kind of worrying is dangerous.
3. Stop worrying about it.
4. Stop[distract] the agressive thought as soon as possible, please,
otherwise you brain will become habituated to that negative thought,
things will go more and more complex.
5. Do whatever you are just interested in. this is the best to way to
distract yourself
to comfortable feelings.
6. Quit Job, Quit School, Quit College, Quit anything
just for the sake, you feel more comfortable thoughtfully.
Do whatever you wish to do.
7. Get a Good sleep.
8. You can stop the thought only by putting another thought in to it.
9. Get a Girl friend, or boy friend, or even have some bad habit little bit
just to get some new comfortable thought.
10. Thinking is a bad habit. Do think. Dont try to figure out anything.
Dont question yourself. we have no questions, we only have happenings,
right now.
11. Only intelligents will have aggressive intrusive thoughts,
at the same time they can overcome it.
12.
Do whatever you are comfortable with.
Do not think, just sleep, fuck or have any interested action you know,
Do try to figureout anything,
You are sensitive, not sinful, must be a very very good person too.
13. I guess, not need to share your bad experience with your family.
Just use internet, or remote friends.
14. Many people have intrusive thoughts, you're not the one.
15. Just go ahead, Engage in interested actions, never think.
Most of the time,
Most part of brain,
is controlled by habits[repeated ones]
habit automates our brain,
so just dont think negative,
delete the intrusive thoughts
for any sake, its possible.
Rarely you may get, just skip it, move forward optimistically.
Getting rid of intrusive thought is very important than your
Money, Job, and even close ones.
16. Dont blame anything or anybody for have this intrusive thought,
dont try to connect things for making reason for your suffering,
it strikes on you for reason you dont really know,
dont figure out, dont scapegoat anybody,
just go ahead brushing aside these thoughts.
17. Habituate possitive things.
18. Dont tell reasons for not able to stop intrusive thought.
Its your life, you have to get out of it.
Every single moment with negative agressive intrusive thought is dangerous.
Just skip it. Just go ahead. All for the best.
+Bahadur shah Uh... I started out agreeing with what you were writing, and it got progressively less agreeable. lol
MHM Recovery: Intrusive Thoughts
Today on MHM recovery I'm talking about intrusive thoughts. When you're still very much ill they can slay you, hold you under the water of your MI and prevent ...
You articulate this concept very well. The thoughts that you're worthless
do seem to perpetuate themselves. I agree that you have to be
compassionate with yourself.
If you express your ideas/thoughts in writing as well as your vids, you
will be a great success! I've been using some of the same techniques you
mentioned. Keep up the vids, for all of us that can't express our thoughts
as well. It's very reassuring to know other people share these challenges.
When we're in a bad state it's hard to find an outlet
+P. P. Oosthuizen Honestly I'd rather just be able to do what I love as a career. Full time professional author would be my dream come true. It'll take a good while, but I am determined to get there!
My triggers are always provoked by external sources... I deal a lot with
paranoia... Though... As I'm recently coming out of a manic state from
trying to go cold turkey off of a bunch of stuff completely... Then getting
hospitalized again... I'm taking a more self assured approach... I
recognize the 'machine' provokes memory... Common sense tells me it's just
the human experience... 'These people can't possibly know 'this' much'...
It's easy (for me at least) to get swept away into thinking that it's all
me, or all about 'me'... So... It's always good to know I'm not in the
struggle alone. Thanks... It brings tears to my eyes that cleanse the soul
to be free of the traps...
+Poetic Justice That's always the case, but... Where the flaw exists is that those people put the problem back on us... I find, I am the one who has to solve it, regardless, and it has to be from within, no matter where the problem comes from... Where the problem exists or comes from becomes irrelevant... It's how I use my mind to negate the negativity that I experience that solves it... When an 'insane/stupid/ignorant/disturbing/intrusive' thought arrives in my mind, as if it's my own thoughts, I listen more to my own words... I simply trace where that thought spawned from and tell myself that it's irrelevant or not really 'my' thought... This can be really uncomfortable, especially while I'm talking to myself around other people... Yet... Blaming outside things continues the thought... I simply look at why I thought something external lead to my confusion, and then end it... At which point, I'm free to think about something else... Granted... I believe thoughts manifest from a numerous amount of things... Thoughts are really from the 'Ether', and the source has been sought after since the first thought ever arrived in consciousness... The cure comes not from ridding myself of it uncomfortable thoughts, but more 'what can I do with my own thoughts, and how great can they become'... Problems will always exist... That's the fault of thinking... But how I deal with the thought... That can be priceless...
+Verse the System Studios I understand where you're coming from when you say your triggers are always provoked by external sources.. The thing that's hardest for me to deal with is that the people that trigger me don't think they're doing anything wrong. To the point that they even try an stop me from leaving the room to calm myself down. The attitude is that I'm the the problem, I'm the one that's broken. Fix me and everything will be fine.....
+Verse the System Studios You're never in struggle alone. We're all here, struggling alongside you. Your methodology for coping (using your common sense) is excellent! Logic is such a powerful weapon.
