Tomorrow I have a presentation for one of our clients to present our new product. My OCD tells me I need to rehears the presentation just one more time. I just withstood the urge to do it another time and just see what happens tomorrow instead.
I have to open the oven now and then because of my OCD. I feel like someone is burning alive or something and I have to leave the oven and sometimes microwave open to let a spirit out. I feel better when I open the oven and give in to my compulsions. Sometimes it would shiver or get shivers down my spine. My OCD is bad. I also have other anxieties. I went to the doctor and they gave me Zoloft. But it still bothers me. I get thoughts like If I ignore my compoulsion, then someone will be stuck forever or something.
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
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 have recovered from harm ocd, what I didn’t expect just how drastically the symptoms go down during treatment. Now currently I have now gone from very little to no symptoms for now. Just keep living the life you want and keep doing erp daily you will get it under control. I had harm OCD, I just became a father and now we about to fly to Vietnam on our first family holiday together. You will feel joy and happiness again. Don’t ever give up and if you lapsed or relapse, that’s okay I did too and but I got to where I want to be and Im very thankful for the master your ocd course. I’m not sponsored but seriously guys do the course it will help you recover and it’s not a race too. We got this people! OCD will not control us anymore!. Have a good day folks.
Sir really your story is giving me hope,I suffer with relationship OCD and all I want is to lead a happy and peaceful life with my partner,Sir can you please tell me from where did you take your ERP,is it effective?
@@JaneyaGithanjali it’s very effective, erp is more you got to face your fears and respond to it differently, trust in the treatment and you will get trust from treatment, I’m sorry you going through this, you must do it everyday and you will be happy again. But you got to put in the work, only you can do the treatment for yourself, I do really recommend the master your ocd course, it will help your recovery. You got this and you will need happy again. My advice try to live the life you want and do the opposite of what ocd wants you to. I’m not therapist I would advise you check out more of Nate’s videos they helped me so much. You will be happy again you can do this. Never give up even if it feels so bad it will get better. I wish you the best in your recovery. 😊
@@JaneyaGithanjali ERP can be done anywhere, it’s best treatment for OCD, my advice is live the life you want and do what the opposite of ocd wants you to, I’m not therapist I really recommend you watch more of Nate’s videos, but be careful it will turn into compulsion. If you do the treatment daily you will get better. You will be happy and never give up, you got this, OCD is not forever it can be managed to the point of little to no symptoms, but don’t aim for 100 percent as you will be disappointed but that doesn’t mean you can’t live happy fulfilling life. Keep going and get on to the maste your ocd course and start doing erp as soon as possible with a therapist or if that’s not possible do the master your course can help you recover. You got this!
Hi sir, can i get advice on what the most effective way to reduce the anxiety? When i dont feel anxious i can easy dont care with the intrusive thought, but when i feel anxious everything seems like horor
@@arifandyahmad3015 honestly best thing to do is nothing, you need to teach Your brain that it’s nothing and by doing ERP it will get better and symptoms reduce. Try to sit with the feelings and eventually it’s will subside. You got this. I recommend the master your ocd course. You can do it.
OCD is like the demon possessing and corrupting your mind and soul to make you do things you would otherwise NEVER DO only to make it stronger. I’m sorry to everyone else who has to deal with this demonic illness. Nobody deserves this, not even the most horrible people on this planet 😢😓😡
1-Doing nothing! 2- not replaying z past! 3- being aware that it's z condition that's making u think that way. # CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE NOW EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I'm working on doing things I avoid. OCD says "what if you harm that person, you'd better avoid them so that can't happen"... I want to avoid because the last thing I'd ever want is to hurt them. So, the exposure is to get closer and just be next to them, seek opportunities to spend time with them. And just let OCD spin in itself. Let it talk nonsense. Let myself be anxious while not doing any compulsions to reduce the anxiety. It's not easy, but it gets better with practice. Start small and work your way up.
What I've thought about lately: While shutting down intrusive thoughts early on being an effective approach, it seems like I'm never free to think about anything. Just contantly shutting down alarms going off in my head. So it's "don't think", "don't think", "don't think". And then I can only think about things in rare moments of peaceful states of mind. By the way, are you LDS? I've been picking up on signs, but I could be wrong.
Dude, literally the same. For me it's "No bad thoughts, no bad thoughts". Now the problem is I've spent so long shutting down intrusive thoughts, and anything that could possibly trigger an intrusive thought, that I pretty much don't think about anything. And if I do, I feel like I'm constantly checking to make sure it's not going in a bad direction, and then of course it does. I have noticed now that the intrusive thoughts aren't causing the 5 Alarm Fire reaction that they used to. Now it's a "ugh, why did I do that?" and usually move on. But then again, sometimes I'll sit there ruminating and doing compulsions for like an hour or two, so I've got a long, long way to go yet.
Please help advise me. A person can feel a glimpse of an intrusive thought starting and then they seem to bring the thought on and actually create the thought even more It’s horrific and disturbing to have intrusive thoughts so why does a brain turn against us and why do we seem to consciously create the thoughts and be aware of doing it. ? It’s us doing that surely? I feel like a terrible person
@@justmadeit2 You are not your thoughts. Don't feel guilty please. It's normal to not be able to control our thoughts. Thoughts are not reality. You won't act on them. All thoughts are okay. They are just thoughts. No matter how evil or harmful they sound, they're not reality, those bad thoughts didn't happen. You're not a bad person and you won't ever be a bad person for thinking bad thoughts. Relax.
Is hard to do the opposite when you have harm ocd by physically harm, any social interaction is risky, yes do the opposite but with harm is literally feeling like your fear is a tiny step away from becoming true, thanks for the video though
Just do it, and go towards the fear trust me that’s what I did and used erp, I know the feeling I got to point where I started to laugh my intrusive thoughts and now I have recovered. You got this. You will get better.
My example... I went to the doctor recently, to confirm something that I knew overall was ok. I think to myself, I've got you ocd, it will be ok now, you already have nowhere to catch me.... Then I'm sitting on a park bench and suddenly a mole that I know is ok, seems strange to me, different than usual. And I know it's a lie! I even checked with a photo from a few years ago and also a month earlier I was on a regular nevus check and evetything was ok... and yet something all the time makes me think about it and make sure, ask myself qustions, maybe doctor miss and didnt see especialy this one and so on... But I'm fighting it, I don't pay attention to these noises and I believe that they will eventually pass. Because I know that it is artificial
Can ocd be like this? That the fear ocd is showing me is exactly what i actually want to do. But my ocd is saying my this drsire is not good and this feeling is really awful and frustrating. Because i want to do this but ocd is saying i should not be doing this
The fact that you're asking this question means your OCD isn't really strong enough. It is not something you truly desire if every fiber of your being is trying to resist it despite all the doubts that cloud your mind with the continuous intrusive thoughts.
Creative people who are high in openness tend to have OCD. Because they are usually open to exploring uncharted territory that normal people usually look away from. If your true nature is to explore the unknown. But you have certain moral boundaries that you do not want to break no matter what then you end up getting OCD. The creative part of you which is open to novel experiences have this tendency to look at things that you shouldn't be looking at even though you know that looking there will not benefit you in any shape or form. So the moral part of you tries to stop you from looking where you don't "need to" nor "should" look at. I suggest you practice having absolutely no reaction to your thoughts that appear to you as false desires. Overtime you'll be desensitized to its every effect.
In my experience botching having multiple OCD themes and from working with people with developmental disorders while getting my Psych degree..OCD is not at all what a lot of people think it is. Now OCPD is different. But people with OCD don't want their obsessions and usually do not want to do their compulsions (they are automatic, impulses, "fake urges" that get stuck, repeat for at least a total over one hour per day (or that's how sufferers often do their best to describe). But it all centers on uncertainty, disgust, fear, worry, anxiety, distress, or things just aren't right. Value (meaning) is assigned to intrusive thoughts and the person tries or does things to lower anxiety/negate the thoughts, images, fears. It's not very logical or rational. Hope that helps.
Whenever I want to ask something from Allah (God) I always feel like my prayers are not gonna accepted because my intentions are not good. And whenever I want to look pretty and dress well I feel like I'm doing all this just for boys. But the confusing part is it's true I want to look pretty to everyone (boys and girls) and whenever I try to console myself by saying that no no I'm not doing this for boys this is still painful and false. So it feels very contradictory. I fear what I'm thinking but I'm a way I do want it. So what does this mean
I'm not a specialist but I used to experience scrupulosity ( I was christian) but I was always doubting my intentions, like "if I am dressing well it's to draw attention from boys" or the same kind of thoughts. I suggest that you have to let the thoughts go by and not try to push them away or saying "no it's not true" because you're feeding the OCD cycle. You are so worried to do something wrong toward God that you've become very sensitive to all the thoughts. Don't forget that OCD is a fear driven behavior so it will always make you doubt about anything. OCD is just using your faith in your case as a pretext. Letting those thoughts go by can feel like you're going against your faith, but it will get better in time.
What about checking OCD. I check my car because I want to make sure and be certain that there is NO damage on it. I can’t have damage on my car. Every time i drive somewhere and someone is close behind me or cuts me off on the highway, I think I was hit by them and i need to inspect that part of the car in all different angles and close up to be sure there is no damage and it takes hours even days of re- checking to be confident that there is no damage. Then when i take it out the next day something else happens and the cycle repeats. I just can’t live with the fact that there could be damage on my car and I couldn’t live with it if there was so i must inspect to be sure there isn’t.
Why wouldn't you be able to live with a damage on your car? It's completely okay. Nothing bad is going to happen if there's damage on your car. You need to accept that cars are just cars, it's just a silly metal material, nothing more and nothing less. Relax. You're going to be okay. You don't have to check your car. Just once; don't check it. See what happens; feel the anxiety. Then tell yourself that it's okay. Nothing bad is going to happen if you don't check on it.
Really struggling at moment & I came across your channel on a different video.its a gd video but the bit where you say sit with your child and the cotashtrophy will not happen 99% of the time.then you say thats not for certain because we don't know what the future holds/ but when you said this it did scare me somewhat. Maybe ive taken it the wrong way .but then you say maybe, maybe not so i guess your just challenging the OCD
I avoid people if they hurt me n end up being alone.. including siblings n mother for all their mistakes....small n big.. Is it any ocd..i always cut relationship upon mistakes easily..i get lot anger and gave no trust on anyone
Anyone else who has some harmful past periods (even 10 years ago, and at the present time everything is OK) suddenly gets "teleported" to that past point in time and HAS TO replay the whole timeline (at least main events) of getting out of that past bad state until he "reaches present" again?
I have ocd and I did some messed up things a couple years back and the minute I'm in a good space or a really bad space my brain pulls me into this spiral that I will never escape my past and right now it's affecting my relationship and I don't know how to stop it
My OCD has Isolated me from the rest of the world. In my case it looks similar to schizophrenia main difference is that the thoughts are real thoughts not delusions. OCD distorts my thinking.
As someone with PDA, this sounds like fighting OCD with Pathological Demand Avoidance. Gods I don't wanna imagine living with both of those together. (I dont have OCD, but I have Dermatillomania and your anxiety content helps too)
Hi, how can I stop counting? It paralyses my life and costly as well. At times I throw out many for instance paper tissue to reach a number I am having with. The number of time my brain forces to do things horrendous. Any help ? ❤
It is those disturbing thoughts, they promise a safe ending if you keep reasoning in the mind (Hence "Fake therapist"?), but in fact they lead to rabit holes of more, new thoughs of possible outcomes that might be horrible, more anxiety. They lure you in like a fisher does to fish. What really is dangerous are those thoughts. I think, like you say, that learning those thoughts are the most dangerous thing, worse than catching a real cold would be in the "pole" thought experiment and stop falling for the temptation to think them is the way to go. Then maybe the subconcious mind will come up with a better explanation "You know what, the poles might be cleaned by the train conductor every now and then, and if a really bad disease breaks out, they are starting desinfection protocols, so touchuing them is most likely safe!"
The question asked above is not actually about germs, any disturbing thoughts pictures or even tv shows forces a washing process ritual. It is so energy and time consuming😢
