      How to deal with ocd when somebody at home does stuff that bothers you

  • @AS-ip3xn
    @AS-ip3xn 3 роки тому +13

    My intrusive thoughts really make me feel as though I’m a horrible person for having that thought. I would tell my mind not to have that thought, and then it would have the very exact thought I’m trying to avoid. Then having the thought as a result of avoiding it, would bring even more anxiety. I, then would be stuck in a circle that would repeating the whole day. It’s so frustrating, both mentally and physically to go through this. At times, I wished I wasn’t alive, just so I could stop having these thoughts and stop engaging in them.
    I, most of the times am aware that my “thoughts” are just thoughts. But at times, my brain really acts like a bully to describe it the best. At times, if I have an intrusive thought that doesn’t conform to my morals, and when I’m aware about my thoughts aren’t that important, I feel as though I’m using my ocd as an “excuse” to allow whatever thought that I had, and that too makes me feel like a bad person. This makes me feel even more frustrated.

      @@jackp_u hello! Over the years, I have come across many useful resources that have helped me understand OCD better, and have taught me useful skills that help me manage my thoughts. I have also witnessed OCD change themes, am currently undergoing a sort of relapse, which has been quite challenging, but now I know the things I need to do better to fight it. I have also booked an appointment with the dr, so I hope that goes well :)

    I have a question: I enjoy watching films a lot, its a major part of my life, but OCD is trying to ruin that for me. Whenever I am watching a movie I get very anxious that I'm about to have an intrusive thought or trigger that'll ruin the experience of that film for me. It makes it so I can't relax, I'm constantly on edge while doing anything I enjoy out of fear it'll get ruined. Do you have any advice for this?
    Thanks and keep up the good work.

    • @ocdandanxiety
      @ocdandanxiety  3 роки тому +17

      I usually would say go in with the mindset of WANTING to be triggered. You don't have to look for them, but go in with the "I don't care" if it happens and practice responding differently to the triggers.

    Hey there, haven't been diagnosed as having OCD at this time but I'm certain it's what has been plaguing me for some years. I am wondering whether I would need a recommendation from a general therapist to go to a clinic that specializes in OCD or whether I could go directly to them for help?

    Hey!! Ever since I have seen a video that was very disturbing to the extent of traumatizing me a couple days later after that (yesterday) I started having these images of me doing horrible things to the people I love it was very distressing but today was different today I still had this mental image but I wouldn’t do anything to avoid it it’s in my mind and it’s not like in the other videos where you say « I could or I can my mind transforms positive things into negative thoughts.... For example I can imagine me doing horrible things but I won’t really hide stuff the only thing I do is either avoid the person or get very distressed cause my mind tells me that I want to but I obviously don’t want to do those horrible things...... And what scares me is that I somehow do what my mind tells me and that’s why I am here to ask if it’s Harm OCD or another condition or the worse im a psychopath (which I really hope not) @ocd and anxiety

    Is it normal to talk to someone whose dealt with OCD and works for people who have OCD and feel like you’re ‘normal’ again but then you get a trigger, start to panic again and feel the anxiety is gone but you’re panicking because there is no anxiety but the intrusive thoughts come back 😭

    I have a question about false memory.
    Is it normal for false memory to come one after another about the same things with more details and story's super very fast
    and Make a story that is so real that you can't don't believe, and happens many times a day with many different types of things
    But in reality nothing happened at all it was all just Purley false memorys?

      @farshadmoshksar135 3 роки тому +10

      Thoughts remain for a short time after ERP because your brain wants you to go back to the compulsions after a while thoughts will be disappeared but maybe they come some times maybe only ones in a week but I highly recommend you to let those thoughts come and come and come after that your brain understand this thoughts are useless believe me I struggled with ocd more than 2 years but I did it so you can too but it will not take more than one month to kill that monster just let them come and don't react good luck!!!

    Hey,can you please read my comment...and ans my question...please..this all started when my friend asked me what my sexual orientation was.at that time I said I was straight.I am basically a overthinker so I thought I should conform myself.just one month later I was admiring myself and said females are beautiful.and then my mind went to the thought and Said if you find female beautiful then you might be gay.and just after it whatever romantic stories I read,I had no interest in it.my mind kept jumping back”am I gay”and then I came to know there is a thing called HOCD and I had it cause the night I questioned myself I had a dream of two girls kissing and when I woke up in morning I remembered the dream and thought what if one of the girl was me and freaked out.I literally kept crying for 3 days.then I video called my friend and she had a hair cut and she looked beautiful and my mind said it means you are gay cause you find her beautiful.I had intrusive images about my friend and I became sad.till these days I wanted to be beautiful as her and now I had this thought.now I keep getting intrusive images and it became a habit so I no longer be anxious.one day I saw HOCD vs denial video ,there they said if you like boobs you are in denial.it means I do like them .but not in a wrong way.cause every girl is obsessed with it and always compare herself with other girls.now my brain told me I am in denial.also they say they like those thoughts and just hate themselves liking it.and in the dream I had in that night it felt good and but when I came to knew what the dream was I freaked out.when I get intrusive images In morning I feel bad.now I don’t feel anxious.I am forgetting who I was.can our sexual orientation change.I saw many people say it is fluid.and say you can turn gay and you know it from early age.I never looked at any friends other than friend and now my mind makes me have crush on every friend.I feel exhausted.when I keep reminding past me,my mind keeps me caught in situations and proves me I am gay.please help me,does orientation change.sometimes it is like I want to be gay even if I don’t want to from my heart and whenever I think of a guy a girls pops up .

      Girl... I can relate to you... There were some things in the past that I did as a kid... Like probably 4 5... When I was a child I found films and movies where woman were sexualised... As if they were something sexual... I would always wonder why.... (I am a girl)... It's been 3 years... I was under medication... It did help a lot... But in between i cut off... And here I am again... I think I have Real event OCD and HOCD... But I shouldn't be saying this... Because saying this can cause reassurance and make my OCD even more higher... And girl I would really want to say something, that is don't do reassurance.... It just adds fuel to the flames

  • @milochamp1586
    @milochamp1586 8 місяців тому

    I noticed most of the questions people ask tells me that they have thoughts and not compulsive physical actions. You cannot call such OCD. Also real OCD is related to something created either fear or trauma in the past and you are now avoiding those fears with some rituals. 90% of the real OCD is related to past traumas or fears or some event either in real life or a movie you interpret as unpleasant or scary.
