What do your thoughts tell you? 🧠

@chrisnadeau273 Год назад

They tell me my email account has been compromised. They tell me why don't I just check one more time just to make sure I did not do make any mistakes. But there is one thing here, Nate- wise. My OCD tells me to avoid being myself in the workplace, it tells me to check every word I say, every step I make. And when I do that, compulsion, of course, it makes me more and more anxious. But, I got promoted. I don't know if that's because of what things happen or because I do those compulsions.

@maggiemm1000 Год назад

Lately my thoughts about everyone i love dying have stopped and now I am starting to think everyone at my job is against me. These videos are so helpful thank u! I loved the happy Gilmore reference!

@balbasaurr9270 Год назад

My thoughts try to convince I'm in another dimension and there's compulsions I can do to return to the original, it is so very distressing since this seems to be a pretty niche theme and there's little I can relate to. Could you make a video about how to deal with thoughts we can never be certain of? All of your content has been of great help though!

@BreannaMartin-nb1yd 3 месяца назад

What bothers me the most is when I feel like I’m not having a big enough reaction to the thoughts! So in my mind it’s like “well maybe you want to do it” “you’re not panicking so maybe it’s just you” “you want to do it” “it’s just you now”

@BelindaJon41 3 месяца назад

I have that. I feel like I have to keep ruminating & working in my head making the thoughts right & that they are fake over & over. If I don’t do that, it means I’m condoning them & making them real & the truth, even though I know they are all fake & just wanting me to feel bad about myself. The thoughts go away for a time but then they always come back for me to have to work on them more. It is exhausting. These videos do help me feel better about it all & knowing I’m not alone

@swalehakhatoonabushahim3237 Месяц назад

Yesss ik this it's like ur brain keeps telling u that you need to give it more attention and stress about it.

@alexanderjs11 3 месяца назад

Intrusive thoughts come from a lack of mental stimuli. When you have too much idle time, your mind will tend to veer off into random thoughts thus creating thoughts that can be "intrusive". This is why the old saying "an idle mind is the Devil's playground" holds so much truth.

@resulkaragoz1867 3 месяца назад

Sometimes yeah but not always, even when you're super busy at work, an intrusive thought can bother you. So it does not always work like that. Plus if you keep trying to make yourself busy just to runaway from a thought it's more like a compulsion than a solution.

@danielaradosevic2997 Год назад

I so agree!!! Ocd thoughts can sometimes become dangerous, or at least so I believe. For me, it sometimes gets hard because I can't tell if the thought is mine or not. And pretty, soon I start to question whether or not I believe this thought, which all sends me into a spiralling downfall of compulsions and doubt. It's hard, believe me, but with Jesus and God and the beautiful Holy Spirit's help, I believe I can eventually overcome this! God Bless You All!!!

Weirdly by trying to think back on a thought to make sense of what it was you thought, you end up creating another one and then feel more disturbed

Great video , for people that have ocd i want you to know that the healing is possible , living a happy life is possible , no matter how bad sometimes the ocd attacks but you no longer suffers like the beginning because now you know exactly how it works , it won't be easy for ocd to trick you like before , stay strong 🙏

Recovery is possible FOR SURE when it comes to OCD. It's just doing the right treatment and committing to it. Exposure and response prevention is the way to go. I teach it step-by-step in my course if you're interested. www.ocd-anxiety.com

What to do when the intrusive thought is really disturbing

@thepridedoctor3250 Год назад

One problem I have is an intrusive thought, something I find disgusted about then an image I didn’t want to see. So I’ve kept analysing them wondering “does this mean something? Why did I think that? What’s wrong with me?”. I’ve tortured myself multiple times constantly asking myself if I truly think like that. I’ve tried to stop but it’s in the background waiting for me to slip up. Until I realised that they don’t have a meaning. A scare that I shouldn’t worry about. Thank you so much for all of these videos, they’ve helped me through so much already

@Oleslawwielki 6 месяцев назад

That’s something I too experience frequently. As well as other intrusive thoughts, for instance that I wish harm upon someone that I love when in reality, I am disgusted and horrified by such a concept and is rhetorical opposite of my values. It’s been many years of this, but I have to say, these videos help. I wish you and everyone else reading this the best of luck on your journeys towards feeling better ❤️

@Blessednesting Год назад

What’s difficult is when they sucker punch you. For instance right after my 4th baby I saw briefly a documentary on Casey Anthony in the hospital room and the thought came to me, “what if I harm my baby?” It freaked me out and I spiraled for months on it.

@sadiemoreno3642 Год назад

This is where most of the worst intrusive thoughts come from us the damn media. Things most of us would never think about. It gets us when we are sleep deprived or full of adrenaline and then they STICK. Hugs, Momma.

@4_seagull Год назад

@mgcreatesco1293 10 месяцев назад

this is also how it started for me. there was a crime scene documentary about a daughter who did something awful to her mom that i saw like weeks ago before i had intrusive thoughts attack me. then one stressful day at home it suddenly popped in my mind that what if i had the tendency to do the same to my mom? it freaked me out. i couldn't come close to her for a while.

@darrenjames7901 2 месяца назад

All of this information is absolutely valuable, However as soon as the video ends my intrusive thoughts and anxiety starts, and it's bad too!

@you_ok186 3 месяца назад

The worst part of my ocd is the negative & disgusting thoughts are becoming real, I am unable to sleep at night for almost 4 years, My financial state is not good enough to have a house in which the bathrooms will not trigger my ocd, its getting worse day by day. None is there to help me.

@noleyfresh460 Год назад

Exposure therapy was some of the worst anxiety I’ve ever felt in my life but it really did help. Actions speak louder than words, and a thought does not do either on its own. Great video!

@ranc1977 Год назад

Exposure did not help me at all. All I become was pushover and people pleaser since no one instructed me how to handle abuse, bullying, mobbing - and how to survive without money/job after I confront abusers and they fire me for speaking the truth and hold them accountable. In the end, if exposure works then third world countries would be wealthy, organized and happy like Scandinavia - yet they are up the their neck in corruption, crime, abuse, mafia. Exposure works in psychological security, safety. It does not work in narcissistic abuse ambient.

@AMejia-gc9yu Год назад

This video helps a lot. I see a lot of so called "phycologists" making claims that our thoughts and dreams are absolutely valid and true. Which if you're a normal person you can easily dismiss this because we all know how bizarre and weird our thoughts can be especially dreams. But since I have OCD I believed these people and it caused me to dissect these thoughts and dreams and it was no good. I appreciate you clarifying this Nathan. It reminds me of this Proverb- "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool, but whoso walketh wisely shall be delivered." Proverbs 28:26

@snehasishmukherjee8654 Год назад

Thanks Nathan! You're doing a great job. God bless you.

@vividvulpe9842 Год назад

This is a heavy one, Nate! I hate those days of wanting to "take a break" from my body due to overwhelming anxiety of discomfort. It's days like that you gotta go for a run, or exhaust yourself with a workout and something other than being face to face with a pixelated screen. It can be, personally, really terrifying having a day of depersonalization. Someone commented below about having thoughts about being real- I, too, think about how I'm experiencing the world (stimuli) through my eyes and brain and get sorta freaked out, like that's a "do not pass here" sorta thought. "Do not enter", or "wrong way" street sign. lol. I also find engaging with a friend or coworker on those days through conversation very helpful, since we're social animals. Thanks, Nate!

Thank you Nat! I say this everytime but that's because it's true You are an Angel! I mean seriously 2020 was a disaster that was when OCD came at its peak without even me knowing it was OCD it was a lockdown and family conditions were not so good so that we could afford a therapist and thanks to the lockdown I couldn't even meet the school councillor that's when I found your channel when I had my first OCD attack SOCD the breathing anxiety and suddenly as I just scrolled through your videos all of my thoughts made sense After that it was a long journey including depression and confusion but Today I'm just out of it out of it all and understandingmy values didn't only help me in ERP but have also made me a better person today! You understood when no one could and evryone was on the verge of giving up on me including myself you saved my life...Pls continue to do whatver you do...it's a blessing to be able to save so many lives with such a. Powerful tool, the internet I just hope and pray everyone gets through this...Never give up on yourself people you are gonna be with you forever and so it's important to treat yourself with love!

I keep replaying what they said and wonder why they said it, re-analyzing everything from my past to come up with logical answers… this is gotten me no where but having head aches all day, anxiety, acting weird at home/work. How could something so small effect my life like this. I am researching techniques to get back on track and this one has helped for sure! For a few hours today, I had an “who cares” attitude and I was actually at peace. I will continue to work on me!

Thank you! I have had a very disturbing thought lately as though I did something bad, and I feel the guilt for it even though I didn't do anything. A couple months ago that same thought was bothering me, and I couldn't do things normally then, it didn't last for long, but this time it is lasting even longer. If a certain disturbing thought lasts in your head for a bit over a week, will it stop eventually? Because this certain thought is as though trying to change my mind and make me a horrible person, that's how it makes me feel. I hope it will leave me alone soon and I will feel like myself again!

My brain is the biggest sceptic. I usually figure out what's wrong quite quickly, but it just doesn't believe me. For example, my OCD's biggest trigger is change. And I know this. And last week, I started at a brand new school and work at a reptile shelter, which took up all my time this week. The 3 months before that were just filled with free time, so that whole thing was a huuuuge change. Well, my OCD kicks at as little change as buying a new plant or book, so you can imagine how I'm feeling right now. But as you can see, I determined the trigger. But my brain still tells me "Yeah that makes a lot of sense but...It surely can't be it.". And that's so unbelievably annoying because you *know* what it is but you're still acting as though you don't!

To anyone willing to answer: Welcoming the thoughts and 'acting' as if they don't have any meaning feels like acting to me, still. The first reaction, subconsciously perhaps, is often still one of disgust or 'not wanting'. Does acting as if the thoughts have no meaning for me, even if I feel like they do touch or hurt me, actually help?

OCD and Anxiety my thoughts definitely own me…. My mind is so active due to the attention given to my thoughts. I can’t get control of them, the hardest part is trying to hide my ocd whilst in the workplace. It’s a huge reason that my home life is one of isolation. I feel I have to hide myself away, to protect people from my compulsions. Thinking that I wouldn’t want to put this type behaviour onto others. It’s exhausting to me, so I would carry an enormous amount of guilt that my compulsions would impact others happiness.

@NothingAt_All_ 10 месяцев назад

I mean they certainly try to act like one, in my eyes OCD makes you overthink and come to negative conclusions because it’s trying to in some way prepare you for that negative outcome, when in reality you’re just constantly worrying this negative outcome is going to happen and it completely messes you up. And stress I believe can make OCD flare up. In short, it’s a defense mechanism, just not a good/effective one.

My OCD is more like a person. Like it names itself and I have 2 people that tell me to do my OCD and it is kinda like my ego and super ego but it controls my OCD and I can't get them out of my head.

I love you dude, you showed me that i may actually have this and learn more about this. Some things you say seems so impossible to implement... But heres something funny from me, I have ADHD so i speed up vid to 1.25 and you talking slightly faster looks like you have ADHD. Ofc its just a joke, but seemed funny to me, because normally you dont talk slow, but when you speed up this, add a smile and wholesomeness that emanates from you, yea. Sorry lol.

Can what-ifs be acknowledged as intrusive thoughts? I have too much idle time nowadays because of my summer vacays and now it pokes me whenever I'm relaxed.

@cstlye187artz3 Год назад

WhT do you do when the thoughts don’t stop . Like a flood of intrusive thoughts at once ?

@pseudo5047 Год назад

Just focus on present. Thought that thought is not stopping is itself is a thought dont take it seriously your mind is making the thought because its think its important show that its not by not engaging with that thought.and slowly frequency of that thought will be reduced.

Hey Nate-wise, when I do a compulsion without realizing it, then I realize it is a compulsion, should I mess up the compulsion or just stop it immediately or I just complete the compulsion?

@ocdandanxiety Год назад

Hey Chris! I can't tell you specifically what to do. I know people tend to mess up the compulsion or stop it and respond differently to it. Allow that feeling to be there and reduce on its own, staying with the uncertainty.

I like this! It’s not good feeling at all I have failed a lot of people by trying to prove I can get better but it feels impossible I tried committing suicide multiple times because being afraid.

Something that I've always struggled with is how do you differentiate between a meaningless thought and a true gut feeling that might be a warning? My cousin died in a car crash and my aunt always says she had a bad feeling before my cousin (her son) left the house that night, but she obviously let the thought go. This traumatic experience has always haunted me. How do you differentiate? Thank you for your videos they are so helpful!

@mi-bl8si Год назад

I don't know what I think about the "gut feeling" I think a gut feeling doesn't prevent the future. Or the outcoming. Sometimes I have a gut feeling too that something bad will happen but I try to say to myself everything is okay nothing bad will happen. Sometimes it's just Anxiety. And I'm so sorry for your loss..
