The reason why I freaked out so much about the intrusive thoughts is because I thought they eventually influence you to commit them. Because of how frequent they are.

@savowtruffle Год назад

Me too. They have me thinking I'm a monster.

@kurdishpotato Год назад

SAME! I am so glad people here understand me so well... i think we're more alike than we think. i have been dealing with this problem ever since i was a kid (i'm 25 now), but it got more severe around the past 5 years or so ago. throughout this time I've learned that no matter how much they come in your head, they can't make you do anything. and they won't change your beliefs or your mindset. so it gives me more faith and hope.

@diversidadecientifica5450 Год назад

Exactly. I've been struggling so much with this things because at some point, I simply couldn't distinguish what was or wasn't a intrusive thought, it look like they were consuming me bit by bit until I actually became a horrible person. I never told this to anybody because I had a fair share of horrible intrusive thoughts about me and other people... It's truly terrifying

I didn't know I had OCD until like 2 weeks ago. Literally had it all my life and didn't even know the name. When I go back to when the intrusive thoughts became the darkest (I'm talking freaking r4pe, inc3st, p3do) and the most constant, I almost unalived myself because if you don't know OCD is a thing it just feels like you are thw worst person alive and you are beyond any reasonable explanation (I lived 3 years like this). Please be aware that these thoughts can be incredibly dark and it is not your fault, you are sick, not a bad person. You wouldn't blame a diabetic for not being able to produce insulin, so don't blame yourself. The fact that these thoughts cause you so much distress is a sign of your goodness ❤️

@PeacefurystudiosXx 17 дней назад

Oh my god, I’m having the same intrusive thoughts myself, mostly racism, and the rest of the things that you described. My family has a history of OCD so I think I should go to a therapist to see if I have it. I started scratching at my skin whenever I have these thoughts and have thought of attempting as well, I was so worried. Now that I have an explanation as to why my brain is like this I feel so much better, thank you so much dude.

I got diagnosed with OCD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

@SusanaGomez-mp8sk 2 месяца назад

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

@Mcdogmom288 2 месяца назад

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

@srishtysamal8600 2 года назад

Struggling with “pure” OCD for 1.5 years now, and episodes of anxiety and certain temporary obsessions over my life, I didn’t get a formal diagnosis until this past December. Learning about OCD makes so much sense now! And the connection it has to previous or childhood stress and trauma. Your videos and your positive energy have made a difference in my life, as has therapy. You are doing God’s work. May you continue to be happy and blessed! We love you Nathan!

@meing7642 2 года назад

Hi, i'm 50 yrs old. my crippling OCD has me constantly holding my breath, physically feeling these intrusive thoughts in my head, obsessing over every little thing i see... even words... therefore makes reading a task. i can't stare at anything more than a second. i can't absorb anything anyone says. it makes me not want to live because there is no quality. I'm self conscious and have no self esteem or confidence. nothing but guilt 24/7 and my heart races from the anxiety all day long.. i honestly thought i was the only one, and i'm just born with a shorted circuit. It wasn't until recently I've discovered its debilitating ocd.. Look, it even prevented me from reading and researching my conditions .. I'm fighting through it while typing this.. I'm so over it thank you for doing this xo

I have a phobia of biology and I feel all sorts of unpleasant things, sharp things hurting me in my most vulnerable places!

This video made me feel like an actual person again, i was so scared i was a person with no worth to walk on this earth like everyone else does, and I'm so happy that the intrusive thoughts i have are common amongst other people, it makes me feel not alone, and i really hope these strategies work, tysm for helping people like me who cant get personal therapists ♥️

I don't have a diagnosis for anxiety, but I've been researching it. I've had some messed up intrusive thoughts. So I wanted to look up the subject. This is helpful.

Love your videos, your advice has been extremely helpful for me, it made me realise how thoughts are and always will be just meaningless junk and nothing else. Love your videos. Keep up the good work Nathan!!!

Thank you so much Nathan! I have experienced all of these kind of thoughts and now you've explained them it makes so much sense. I have come to accept the fact that they happen to everybody and me having those thoughts do not necessarily mean anything.

Jayashree. Be careful what you feed your mind. Reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15-20 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down on the bed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Keep a reminder to observe your breath sensations throughout the day and night anywhere -anytime-- before sleep, at work, at home, when travelling etc with eyes open or closed. One more tip is to sit on a chair without moving, be still and observe your breath for a few minutes. Stillness reduces thoughts and brings quick relief. Like me make breath observing a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

I joined therapy and it helped my OCD tremendously but now it has morphed into relationship anxiety :( Your videos help me so much. I really want my relationship to work. Could you make a video on normal changes that happen as couples spend more and more time together and how these might not seem normal to a brain stuck on anxiety? Like my boyfriend was telling me about this idea and I yawned while hearing it and that made me question my interest in the idea, and then him, it is honestly hellish.

Thanks man I kept having this thought of me when overdosing on drugs and it’s one of my worst fears even though I’ve never done drugs and never will it was a thought / a voice in my head that was trying to make me do them

this is such a good video, thank you so much. it deadass made me cry. i havent cried in months, if not years. i learned from a different video to name those thoughts to distance yourself from it (like giving it an actual name), so now ill combine these 2 things and go "oh hey billy bob whats up" whenever that thought pops up. And in the comment sections i often read that physical exercise (like actual sport) also helps a lot, so ill be amping that up too. The internet is a great thing, so many resources, so many ideas. Even though this kind of contradicts the "not coming up with a plan" part of your video, i feel like this is a good balance of all these things.
