It feels so real. It’s so scary. My thoughts are so prominent and aggressive I just want it to stop. I waste my time “fixing” my obsessions and get even more obsessed, angry, sad and frustrated. Thank you for these videos... I always come back when I have very strong attacks like I’m having right now. It’s not real it’s not real it’s not real UGHHHHHH.
listening to this whilst under attack from OCD is a remarkable experience: suddenly, it's not just you overwhelmed and lost in the maze; there's another person seemingly totally aware of details of your particular theme/spike; speaking exactly the right words to lead you from the blinding maze...this only serves to highlight just how universal and generic OCD's tactics actually are. Although it's ability to 'trick' you into believing it's real is so very strong.
This is such a great observation. It's oddly heartwarming sometimes reading these comments because you begin to understand how bizarrely similar human beings are to one another. We all think we're the only one, but then Ali or another professional says exactly the right thing or articulates the right detail and it pulls you out of your head and makes you realize that you are in fact dealing with an actual psychiatric disorder. There's such relief in that and also so much self compassion. Which is nice for a change lol.
Exactly what I needed. I have been dealing with ROCD, racism OCD and rape OCD and been feeling so guilty and doubtful. Exactly what I needed to hear again. Thank you x
Hey there I’m 4 months late but I know exactly what you’re going through (or hopefully just went through) I just wanted to say that I hope you are feeling better today and if not, that’s completely okay it just helps to know you’re not alone
Ali is right! Big up to her for this one! Recovered from OCD and check in occasionaly to see how far ive come and seriously her advise is so true it doesnt seem it at first but trust the process
Thank you! I'm fighting the urge right now to google everything to find out if it's ocd or if I'm a bad person and I know it will just make me panic more
I'm really thankful for u n your videos Ali. U wouldn't know how u have played a part in saving my life. I'm facing an overwhelming trauma n it's very agonizing. You helped me alot. I couldn't now repay your kindness. May God bless u.
Ali, your videos have helped me so so much, I cannot thank you enough. 3 days ago I made the decision to stop doing any kind of compulsions, it's been hard, but your videos make me feel like I can do this, I can break this terrible and painful cycle. I honestly wish I could meet you!
You have helped when everything was unknown to me. I didn't know that I have any of this kind of disorder. You came as a single ray of hope amidst the deep dark. I won it very much but still sometimes it comes and I feel no wish to live my life but everytime your videos give hope and help in recovery. Thank you so much. For me you became like a avatar of God.
Tq Ali madam very useful in understanding OCD and in recovery I am also suffering from different type of OCD thoughts from so many years I thought I am the only person to have but after watching your videos it is clearly understood that it is common thing so many people are suffering from this Tq once again for your valuable videos and God bless you
I really needed to hear this! Thank you Ali for the reminder. I can get so caught up in the thoughts and anxiety at times and then your video appears to help pull me out of it. So grateful!
Ali, I had to listen to this again because the last few days have been really bad with my pure O thoughts . Sometimes the ocd wants me to doubt that I actually have OCD but I know I do. With all the ruminating and compulsions... it's hell and you understand that. As 8 watched this video I was crying the whole time because I know the compulsions and ruminating are ruining my life right. Thank you so much for this video and all of you're videos. .God Bless you, Ali
Thank you Ali. This video came at the right time today. Sunday's when not a work day, OCD kicks in strong. Esp during covid19. Can you make more videos regarding covid19?
I find it very difficult to do exposure because my brain makes up a fake scenario where i am doing something which i don't want to do whenever i try to do exposure i always end up ruminating and analysing i really hate this
Today I was watching videos on how to stop the compulsions, then I saw that exposing them would improve, and suddenly when I saw that it would improve I stopped feeling the compulsions, it seemed more like my brain saw that I found the solution, and now that I'm not feeling the compulsions anymore it seems that I do not care about my relationship, and I really want to care, someone help me? has anyone gone through this?
Eckhart Tolle is excellent for this. He teaches you how to deal with unwanted thoughts. Buddhists call it “the Monkey Mind.” You don’t have to fight it either. You can empty your mind or replace unwanted thoughts with chosen thoughts.
What if I’m dealing with thoughts like “what if something I did that I remember a little is actually really bad thing and I don’t deserve good or normal life”? Like I’m so scared Things I remember are actually what I scared they are
This is very common with OCD I used to have them all the time! Don’t stress, and try to pass through it! Tell yourself, it’s just OCD! Think of having a OCD brain, this isn’t your brain it’s your OCD brain!
*Whenever i drink water or eat food it show me a vivid image and trying to tell me that by drinking water at time i want the thought and i like the thoughts and it trying to convince me that if i drink water when vivid image show up in my mind then i am bi , i know it was bullshit but I Don't know why i get so anxious*
I get this almost all the time it's so shitty it makes me feel like as if the things I fear is actually me and I'm bring in a denial and suppressing them,,I hope you're doing better now I'm so sorry u have to go thru that
probably for me doing so much research helped me learn for something I'm doing but now it makes me question, gives me what-ifs or gives me a feeling that I should check or doubt or changes my feelings when I know I should not it's annoying.
But what if my compulsions have also gotten problematic, like I was petting my dog and I have sexual intrusive thoughts and one of my compulsions is that I imagine im touching someone sexually appropriate instead but then I was like wait you're petting your dog and I'm freaking out.
Is anyone here Filipino who also suffers from ocd? I really want to know if there are Filipino who are also watching this :( I want to know if we have a specialist in ocd here in the Philippines :(
Pls answer this in a chat box If i don't do compulsion to thought i think it will exactly happen as a thought says or i get scared if it comes true. I am forgetting things, names and other stuffs. It started affecting my mind. Suffering too much..
OCD is nothing just a self-thinking process. Anyone can get this thought that you're getting. Some peoples are refusing and some people are taking it seriously like you. Answer= * Do not take this thought seriously or you will stuck just ignore it & it will go away* I know it’s not easy but in order to recover it you’ve to do it. OCD is brain tricks that all.
@@sc6244 ignoring....it worked for me few times. i Know the feeling. But when a scarier thought hits, in that moment this is the only concern. Convincing my self that isn't true is more important than refusing the thought, it's like a down road once i start rolling i can't stop. So I know the answer but the hit is so hard I can't think of anything else. Any other way to ignore a thought ?
@@ajayjaykar7833 Think 💭 whatever is coming in your luck it will happen for sure no one can stop it, did you believe that? If yes: Then why you need to worry because you can’t control it it from God. If you think whole day you can’t change it
@@sc6244 talking about luck.. You are scaring me. I don't want anything pre-written in my life, or may be i want it if it's good. The disorder is another thing is threatening if i don't get a good thing, and now it's threatening if luck is true and scary. And i just wasted half an hour ruminating, sweating like hell
@@ajayjaykar7833 Don’t ruminate just ignore it. The more you ruminate or take it seriously it will catch you a lot. So don’t pay attention to your thought just consider this’s OCD. I hope you’ll get better soon.
Wilder got major heart… but his not a boxer… I rock with him heavy but… he’s just not a boxer. He’s got a right hand from God. But if you can get past that it’s a different fight. He’s just the only heavy weight we (Americans) have and we wanted him to be that guy…he’s not. Doing get me wrong that right hand is a monster but…. You take that away and…. There’s not much left in the way of boxing. He’s all heart and I love the guy for it but…. Add that to the possibility that he’s just not in it anymore and it equals getting beat by Parker… No offense to Parker.. he had a plan and the combination of the 2 scenarios worked in Parker’s favor… salute wilder… always bombsquad
