7 Tips For Rough Times | Squeak Code Squeak Code 2016-09-11 | Time codes in description. As always, apologies for poor lighting/focus/audio/rambliness - recently I've wanted to make SqueakCode more about the message when I want to share it. If you're here from Tom Scott & Draw Curiosity, Squeak Code is a completely separate project and unrelated to my work in science communication - it's all about raising awareness for mental health and talking about it. Draw Curiosity is my main project and the one I enjoy putting in plenty of effort and research into, and the content between the two channels is unrelated.Time codes:0:00 - Long winded introduction and explanation of Squeak Code2:00 - Introduction to this video3:08 - Tip 1: Have blind faith that things get better3:40 - Tip 2: Accept that things don't get better immediately and forgive yourself if progress doesn't happen at the pace you want (it's normal and it's fine - recovery is often non-linear)4:31 - Tip 3: Sensory overload + sensory deprivation as tools to take importance and attention away from thoughts/depression/anxiety5:14 - Tip 4: Record times when things are going better - and keep reminders of times when life is going well.6:28 - Tip 5 & 6: Look after yourself: eat, sleep and exercise where possible + Live as normally as possible, avoid giving up hobbies and stopping doing the things you enjoy.7:25 - Tip 7: Be creative!7:51 - I hope you're all doing well ;)Follow Draw Curiosity: http://bit.ly/DrawCuriosityAs always, I love hearing from everybody, so feel free to comment down below!I'm also open to questions, which you can post below, or shoot me an e-mail at:ocduponatic@gmail.comMy channel: www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCodeFacebook page: www.facebook.com/SqueakCodeInstagram: www.instagram.com/squeakcodeTumblr: http://evolution-of-creation.tumblr.comContact me: ocduponatic@gmail.com

Is Homophobia a Mental Illness? | Q&A Squeak Code 2016-05-25 | TL;DR: Homophobia and HOCD (an anxiety disorder), are two different concepts not to be confused with each other. This video tackles the misconception surrounding HOCD, what it is and isn't, from the perspective of an OCD POV. It does not aim to speculate further about homophobia beyond it not being a form of OCD. I made this video because I keep being sent this article stating that HOCD is Homophobia and the latest excuse people are using to excuse homophobic statements and acts, and to make a commentary of it. So here it is. This video basically highlights that one does not have anything to do with the other. I do not agree with homophobia, but it also pains me to see OCD misportrayed and misunderstood, so this video is quite a long video on the semantics behind it.The time-codes from the intro are here:Quick TL;DR -- 00:40 Brief of the Article -- 01:17 What is Homophobia? -- 02:23 What is OCD? -- 04:19 What is Pure O OCD? -- 05:09 Why I don't like breaking OCD into 'types' -- 05:57 What Pure O is like -- 07:00 What is 'Homosexual' OCD? -- 09:00 Why HOCD is a bad term to use -- 11:03 Inferences you can make about someone with HOCD -- 11:36 Why I think Homophobia is NOT HOCD -- 12:30 Some other OCD misconceptions I'm afraid people will make -- 12:53 I start to wrap up -- 14:13Tourette's Collaboration & ShalomAleichem - 15:21Draw Curiosity - my new project -- 16:23The article I'm responding to: http://rainbowlaw.com/homophobia-is-a-mental-disorderLink to collab with Kat at ShalomAleichem: youtube.com/watch?v=03VhNEAhwrgFollow Draw Curiosity: http://bit.ly/DrawCuriosityAs always, I love hearing from everybody, so feel free to comment down below!I'm also open to questions, which you can post below, or shoot me an e-mail at:ocduponatic@gmail.comMy channel: www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCodeFacebook page: www.facebook.com/SqueakCodeInstagram: www.instagram.com/squeakcodeTumblr: http://evolution-of-creation.tumblr.comContact me: ocduponatic@gmail.com

Medication for OCD, Yay or Nay?! | Part 1: MYTHBUSTING! Squeak Code 2015-09-14 | Here is Part 1 of a little medication series I'm preparing. In today's video, find out in what situations medication for OCD may be a good fit for you and some of the common myths that people hold to do with medication.Keep your eyes open for the next videos in the series:- What to expect from medication: youtu.be/_xWEX3exxds- What if you're scared to take medication (coming mid-November)- My personal experience with medication**Correction:**I made the rookie error of confusing the definition of addiction with tolerance in this video. Tolerance is the reduction in dose effectiveness over time.Addiction is a compulsive habit-forming tendency to seek out the drug.SSRIs cause neither, but I apologise for the mix-up.***As always, I love hearing from everybody, so feel free to comment down below!I'm also open to questions, which you can post below, or shoot me an e-mail at:ocduponatic@gmail.comMy channel: www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCodeFacebook page: www.facebook.com/SqueakCodeInstagram: www.instagram.com/squeakcodeContact me: ocduponatic@gmail.com
A Mouthguard for Tourettes | How to Squeak Code 2015-08-19 | A specific solution for a toothy-tic! Here I explore a thermoplastic gumshield as a solution for a persistent mouth tic. Have you ever used an aid of any sort to mitigate or prevent a tic? Let me know down below!**Disclaimer about gumshields**About thermoplastic gumshields:They aren't designed to be worn continuously, and are typically intended to be worn under instances where a certain physical activity could endanger the integrity of your teeth. They are also recommended for cases of mild bruxism. For cases which may erode the teeth further, I would recommend consulting with a professional dentist just in case - although these gumshields mold to the shape of your mouth, it doesn't mean they are the best option as they could rub on the gums, and do not serve to maintain teeth aligned.****As always, I am open to questions, either leave a question below, or shoot me an e-mail at:ocduponatic@gmail.comMy channel: www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCodeFacebook page: www.facebook.com/SqueakCodeInstagram: www.instagram.com/squeakcodeContact me: ocduponatic@gmail.com
A Brief Introduction to Tourettes Syndrome Squeak Code 2015-07-07 | I've been wanting to make a video explaining what Tourette's Syndrome really is for a while (as well as what it isn't: a swearing disorder!).This particular video touches upon tics, misconceptions and the notion that tic disorders, and particularly Tourette's, aren't so uncommon - but misrepresentation in the media doesn't help.There is a lot about the syndrome which has not been touched upon in this video and will be covered in the future.PS: Just noticed the audio saved itself in Mono, meaning my voice only comes through one speaker. I will try to fix this if YT allows me to.As always, I am open to questions, either leave a question below, or shoot me an e-mail at:ocduponatic@gmail.comMy channel: www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCodeFacebook page: www.facebook.com/SqueakCodeContact me: ocduponatic@gmail.com

What Do Intrusive Thoughts Feel Like? | Q&A Squeak Code 2015-02-19 | **DISCLAIMER: Bits I think people could find upsetting have been flagged up - there are no GRAPHIC IMAGES, there is descriptions of common intrusive thoughts, and flashing images at the end**Someone asked me "What do intrusive thoughts feel like?"I discuss the involuntary nature of our thoughts and how all of them could potentially be intrusive, the typical content and how they make people with OCD feel.I end with a quick simulation of how pervasive they can be.I also realised too late that I wasn't using the microphone attachment properly, so there is more background noise than usual.If you want to ask any questions, feel free to comment or e-mail me at:OCDuponatic@gmail.comSubscribe to be notified of new videos!www.youtube.com/user/SqueakCode'Like' the Facebook page if you prefer Facebookfacebook.com/SqueakCode
It Gets Brighter ~ Message from Squeak Code Squeak Code 2015-02-06 | Another impromptu video and unplanned, relatively unedited video, which skims over my experience of OCD and Tourette's. I must clarify that I no longer hold these negative views of myself, these have changed immensely since I got diagnosed and learnt more about OCD and Tourette's. Nonetheless, it is hard to admit and say that I used to think these things - and thus it makes it hard for me to share this. However, the best thing I ever did for my OCD was to speak up, learn more about and do something about it.It does get brighter.It Gets Brighter:http://www.itgetsbrighter.orgSqueak Code's Facebook page:facebook.com/SqueakCodeContact Squeak Code:OCDuponatic@gmail.comThe music in this video is from:soundcloud.com/musicbymarcus
