My OCD is getting much more religious rn Strong eg: It makes me think of doing something very anti religious, n suddenly my mind curses God(intrusive Ik) n because it is so sudden.... it makes me think that I am the one doing it or did that on purpose(as I was not thinking anything about it n yet it was so specific, n so I am actually that kind of a bad person) IT'S ALL MOSTLY INTRUSIVE Second off, uses the example specificied that every other sin can be forgiven but not this- in my religion And then, there... creates as many acts of it as possible Just.. makes me think n centers my entire, good, bad, angry or all kinds of situations around it ugh not sure(a while back example) Anyways-
You’re right we can say “What worse could happen” 😊 this is like getting vaccinated you eject the disease to the body and teach it how to handle that right?
I do not have OCD and this video really helped me to confirm it. I am extremely organized or a neat freak or whatever people like to call it but I know that I don't have OCD because there's never a loop or routine or any intrusive thoughts at all. If I am in rush, I can leave something messy. If I don't feel like it or if I just don't have the energy, I can leave things for later. Yes they will be in my head as in I'll do it later but they don't effect me in an intrusive way that is repeated. I don't have a repeating and intrusive fear that if I don't do a specific thing, something bad will happen. As a person who doesn't have OCD, it is sad that people just throw the term around without knowing what it actually is. It is a DISORDER not a "quirk". I hope more people see this video.
I'm really struggling to apply this while working in healthcare. My fear of bloodborne pathogens has ramped through the roof. I work in dental offices and there is often aerosolize, and while I trust my PPE. It's the coming home part and not tracking anything it.
and if they die will die with them but again the thought comes if they are not real they might be illusion and if I die i don't know what will happen 😢😭
Sir I wanted to say I want to buy a mobile but I don't know why my mind keep telling me the world is going to destroy after I die because I bought that mobile when I am alive and after death the world will be destroyed so Sir should I do the opposite like buy the mobile I want and don't care about future I know it's really funny ocd or anxity but should I do what I want
Once when I was little I told my parents I was about to throw up. They gave me a plastic bag to throw up, but whenever they do that I start to feel even worse. I have the worst fear of throwing up, so now I dont tell anyone when Im nauseous because I dont want them to get a bag or anything.
I love what you said about being the “shy person.” I was always called the “quiet one” in school. I’m 28, and I’m just now starting to realize that I may be more extroverted than I thought! When I get into crowds of people, I’m amazed by how much I have to say, and then I find myself questioning this identity of being the “quiet one” all of a sudden. 😅
Thank you for making these videos. They always give me some extra motivation to stay steady in my ERP therapy when I need it most. The work you do is awesome.
Im afraid that if i stand up to the bully. I will become the very thing i fear And sometimes when i do not feel fear or anxiety or any disgust and agree with it Im worried that it may be right Any advice? I really don't wanna be a p3d0file 😭 I cannot bring myself to actually not figure this out 😢
Can you please tell me if i am getting thoughts like what if my ocd is real event ocd. Actually I am having thoughts like what if i have done something wrong and now suddenly it is feeling like what if its an real event ocd thought. Can anyone help in this
I have ROCD and I finally found “the one perfect guy” but my past relationships were horrible but my ROCD makes me believe he is cheating snd it feels so real and I will say “ Your cheating” instead of calmly asking i even image him in my head cheating and I just accuse him to the point to where i believe he is but i also have to have her ft me anytime we call and he has to show me around his room snd its a rutienr thst has to happen every night before we go to bed and he has to say “ goodnight i love you too baby” and smile after he shows me around his room and i say goodnight i love you
I can try imagine the most logical thing that would happen in your brain after dying, maybe a few memories or maybe a new minutes of fear or pain or confusion, being stuck wanting to wake up but not being able to, wanting to feel smell or taste and not being able to, trying to breathe or open your eyes and you just can’t feel, you slowly just stop being bothered by being nothing, and the brain shuts off, then it’s literally the end, after the credits roll there’s nothing left, that’s what scares me, if I could choose to live forever and grant other people that ability if they want, I would do it, we would watch the world end and we might be scorched and live in constant pain for millions of years, but the earth would rebuild itself slowly but surely and we would be there to see the next chapter, I could do that till forever and never get bored, you would still go to sleep each night not knowing what will happen tomorrow, no matter how horrible it might get, at least your not nothing
I don't have ocd since i never get checked but i have similar problem. I have kind of habit overlooking on details that isn't even necessary, and if it isn't solved or something is not in the right place, i can feel it even just subtle. But the hard thing is, i often don't know what's wrong and what to do. It's like, i realized it in my subconscious mind and affect my conscious act. If that happen, i will feel immediately blocked from anything. Even if i try to move away, i can't. It's not like a feeling about an anxiety, but how i tried to move or seeking the wrong is the one who created anxiety in me. I'm not someone who talks out loud about my preference since i know it often sounds ridiculous, but if things going 'wrong' and i see it, it makes me anxious yet i can only silently hope it will fix itself. If they don't, i can become highly uncomfortable to the point i can leave the place and losing interest in doing anything due to think about that problem. So.. i can say, i do this all the time and it makes me feel horrible. May i know if you also have the solution of this problem? Since it's quite similar, i guess.
You are an inspiration Nate. Even after years of practice and bunch of good information, I find myself learning new ways with your videos. Thank you for what you've done for this community, truly appreciated. I guess I can speak for everyone who has visited your channel so far, or should I say maybe maybe not. :)
@@ApexFlex-pn8wq yes please do erp but with a professional therapist or do the master your ocd course. You can do it and most likely you find the fear won’t happen. Good luck.
i really like that you joke around in your videos, it makes the topics feel more light-hearted yet informative & helpful, and allows me and hopefully many more to laugh at our brains! thank you <333
