Good video. Yet, there is another category. A lot of women (and men) fantasise about violent non-consentual sexual acts and get enjoyment from that fantasy, but would, of course, not enjoy to experience that in real life life. So is this fantasy ego dystonic or not? I think it is ego congruent. But it is just a fantasy that gets people aroused, nothing more.
46 year old British guy here, I only found out that I have this OCD despite the glaring clues all my life! I never thought I'd hear anyone else say 'it's unfair that one foot takes more steps than the other' as this was my walk to school every day. Like most of us, I don't wish this on anybody but it's nice to know it isn't just me.
Is it still scrupulosity of you keep on thinking that God will make you suffer because he loves you and he wants you to grow? I am always afraid that I might suffer again so just that he could teach me a lesson.
Can it still be an obsession if there is an “acting out” and arousal around the thought? Eg if it has happened in the past- but now makes someone feel distressed to think about?
Because If you expose yourself in the right way, your brain learns that this situation is actually not that dangerous and your anxiety will decrease over time :)
I have OCD but I am also obsessed about Cars, Gadgets etc which I think I will buy in about a year. I mean Its still a year to go and I dont intend to buy in near future. But I still see their specs, latest rumours and post leaks etc etc. I do it on daily basis and enjoy it so much Its very obaessive. I am also obsessed about numbers like Covid cases, vaccination rate etc. I dig deep deep into data sources of different countries for the detailed stats. Is it a Part of my OCD?? Or is it just addiction and fantasizing?
Good video explaining what it is and even the additional example about your boss yelling at someone else and how it feels about you. I think inwould like this video better if you gave examples to help us remove this irrational way of thinking from our system. Thank you
Yeah its unwanted i was introduced to the internet at a young age and was introudced to bad stuff after my dad died i had these thoughts a lot (not abt my dad) but i liked them only bc they took my mind off of everything and bot its distressing and I hahte myself for it
It's like I assume what people think about me even if their being nice they might say a word to trigger me and I start thinking different things about that word even if they meant to use it differently. Also sometimes when I say things to people or how I act around people I feel like I can feel what they're feeling or thinking even if it's not true and it makes me feel bad if I think I made someone else feel bad even if they are not feeling bad.
Everything you are are saying sick things. None of it is rational or sensible. Why talk about something that you know nothing about. Like The Science of Physics or what huge brains like Albert Einstein were telling us. You really have it all backwards and I dare say that you will get some negative responses to this little idiotic speech with no backing whatsoever
I've veen struggling with severe OCD episodes this year. Watching this helps me realize a thought can't make something happen. Thank you so much. Really these videos help me see my faulty thinking errors
It is very complex and she's out of her mind. Knows nothing about it. Don't listen to idiots if you have questions. Read Albert Einstein and other genius minds on subjects of Physics. Not as complicated as YOU may think.
This is one of my major ocd themes - along with relationship ocd. I've experienced what you described as feeling responsible for the downfall of the environment and not being able to use plastic bags for example. Currently my theme is around racism - I'm obsessed about being a bad white person and feel I must be an absolutely perfect white person to absolve myself. I'm making great strides with ERP so I hope this is my last go around with ocd. I've had it for 12 years. Thank you for sharing all the different ways it can manifest in your videos.
Thank you for your explanation. I realized that along with dealing with my anxiety I also catastrophiize. I'm trying to understand this and over come it
Thanks alot now i have a word to put on people way of thinking. I did not know it was a word for i just new its not true how they perceive things thankyou so much. I didnt know how to exlain cause of lack of knowledge great video
