At Restored Minds we know millions of people suffer with mental health issues and the majority of these people don’t have access to proper help or can’t afford it. This leaves people feeling frustrated, alone and forgotten.
Through our online mental health courses, our members can receive expert guidance and access our private support communities whenever they need it. When people have a safe place to be themselves they begin to feel restored, which enables them to heal and ultimately flourish in their daily lives.
True transformation starts from within and that’s why a Restored Mind is the beginning of a Restored World.
I deal heavily with religious anxiety. Ive been in a sliral for weeks. I want to be a christian but have so many issues with doctorine and the fear of not believing proper doctrine. Like what IF i think this way is how to get to heaven but im believing a lie and wnd it ceasing to exist or going to hell? Its just scary. Apart of me is like with if this isnt anxiett but God warning me about destruction. Day and night im anxious and uncertain
Thank you so much Matt. I find many of your videos helpful. I am working on feeling the energy that comes up when triggered, rather than get rid of it. The way you explain OCD and the loop is great. I like how you look deeper into things, and not just say simple things like "don't do compulsions" but you are rather giving motivation on how to get out of the loop and how to deal with these thoughts on a deeper level.
Could anybody help me understand and apply this? I love to visit artificial climbing walls, I have been doing so for a decade almost every week. But I always deal with the thought that i might easily unclip myself from the winch whenever I wished, and this creates a lot of tension and struggle. Staying aware of my body and breathing helps to a certain degree. I am not sure I can identify any particular compulsions. Perhaps, giving priority to some tracks that feel more comfortable (there is nothing objectively safer about them, i think it is mostly a matter of familiarity and subjective feeling)... I recently started to slowly break this habit. Any other suggestions? Thanks
i understand the concept. i did sit with the feeling for hours and hours but after 3 years i still experience an tight chest and shortness of breath not being able to breath into my stomach it feels like
That’s exactly how it works. When you feel an emotion, a flood of neurochemicals enter the rest of the body. It’s why when I was stressed and anxious all the time I could never lose weight but when i was hopeful and felt toasty inside, it came right off
Big truth. Meditation is good, but won't help with OCD if you do it to get rid of your bad feelings. Acceptance is the key. You need to do the exact opposite that your feelings want you to do.
Did you help someone with Retroactive Jealousy OCD? It' s just other type of OCD? It's seems treatable diferently.... I'm not fluent in the language... From Brazil.
i had a intrusive thought for the past two weeks of hurting my son in a christian i’m seeking God everyday and i am born again but the thoughts of hurting my son have been on my mind i have been having really bad anxiety and it has been scaring me i’ve been crying balling praying to God everything and nothing is working i feel alone… im so thankful i saw this video i know im not alone….

I was driving earlier and it’s dark outside people walking around I thought I hit these 2 guys but I looked back and still seen them walking but I kept thinking I hit them because how close they were close to my car 😢
I wanna ask something,i am suffering from false attraction and arousal to same sex,through all my life ive been sexually and romantically liked womens,not into any gay act,but i am so scared that i was bi or gay before or i turned gay or that i am bi due to ,i was sometimes admiring good looks of other dude non in sexual way,exmpl nik carter,pall walker,,also i was trying to be friend with some dude at 17 years old(now i am 20),and i was feel quite nervous around him even i was crushing on my girl that time,also i didn't want to have sex or romantic thing with him,my mind trying to convince me that i am bi sexual even when i watch gay or bi porn i don't get aroused,i i know sexually i am straight, i am scared that i am bi or gay,i always watch naked womens ,obsessed with boobs,have celebrity womens crush,not mans body,but childhood memorys and the dude memories makes me doubtful and scared,i just i don't want be something who is not me.
I count every word I think of and words people say to me and I they have to be even and if they aren’t on an even number I have to change certain words or add some words to it, and after that I have to do it 3 more times starting from my thumbs and pinkies so the finger can be even. I say to myself to stop then I just end up counting stop 5 times so it can be even. I’m only 15 by the way and I tell people about it but they just don’t understand.
Thank you, Matt. I very much appreciated your explanation of intuition, and the difference between that and our mind/ego. “Our intuition is always correct, our mind is often wrong.” I really enjoyed that statement, words to ponder for sure. :)
Omg matt u and i are connected, it’s something i was thinking just a while ago and it got so overwhelming i had to call in sick at work. One thing that really helps me is “let go, let god” and also that whenever god says something to me, it will be liberating not depressing. Also I don’t believe in dark knight of the soul, especially if it is too intense.
Context 100% matters, we had a guy live on the same yard as us for a while and he found out a women at his job was renting her daughter out sexually and abusing her all the time, police are uselees si they didnt do anything, kid was still 12 and parents did have plenty of money so child care said they cant do anything Long story short he married the 12 year old on a day he was helping babysit her(which makes them legally binded making her able to make her own decisions) cause it was the only way to get her out of the situation, he has been looking after her as a father ever since and the kid is 19 now with a good education, shes going to college soon, but still... if you just told someone random that thia 40 ish year old guy is marrying a 12 year old it wouldnt fly😂
Thank you matt felt relieved, your videos really helps me alots my ocd took my joy, everything around seems not working because i was stocked in it 😭😞,my ocd started when i lost my mum, thinking i was not close enough to God ,in order for me to rescue her,after she passed, this instruisve pops up, telling me if i do not tell people that God love them,my family's won't be saved, that makes me do the compulsion everyday from 2002, untill i found your video last year,i think i keep on getting better, enjoying my life ❤
Thank you,my ocd started when i lost my mum, thinking i am responsible for her death by not following God enough,after her death instrusive thought pop up telling me that if i do not tell people about God , that my family's will be in danger, that there sins will be on my head,when even i do this compulsion i felt relieved,this has been happening since 2002, when i was 24yrs,but now i am 42yrs,i felt trapped 😢,but thank for this video now i know is ocd.
