I have been struggling with this along with suicidal ocd as well for months. I go to a specialist. The suicidal issues have lightened up a ton mostly just hating the low feeling i get an immediate anxiety
Hello! Thank you for this video. This is my main ocd fear. For me, when my mood comes a bit down without any specific reason, I completely go into questioning “is this depression”, “do i really have depression”, “what should i do”
Have u ever had depression before?.. I had one severe episode two years ago.. during covid I got 2 months of rest which allowed me to spend time with family and play with friends and work-out.. eventually depression disappeared so that i didn't even notice when it went away.. but after 2 years one morning suddenly I got a feel of that depression returned,I got panick which led me to Google and fear of going crazy and i doubted my own thoughts and stuck in the cycle..
this is excatly my topic. but besides that i do REALLY have depression. so its the „proof“ for my ocd. i have these thoughts of „what if it never gets better“ and i am constantly checking feelinfs and i get obsessive about my depression healing journey…
Such an important topic Momin! You cover this very well.
This topic is just core for me and momin covers it very well. Thanks for video !! Great help momin
Thanks for this momin this is so applicable for me
🤗
A really very important video! I don't have much of avoiding sadness ocd but i do have that compulsively trying to rationalise and tell myself that's its ok its not the end of the world dont be too worried things won't work according to u and blah blah kind of OCD lol which in fact again is the fear of sadness and depression
Did u self talk urself in mind always?.. like trying to get out of it by telling urself the advices in ur mind?
@@aravinthselvaraj7340 self talking has become quite automatic for me and you cannot get rid of these automatic mental compulsions completely,when I tried to battle with my self talking in forceful way,it only backfired on me
It's very important to understand and notice whenever you are advising your mind and control it through acceptance
It's also important to accept that some self talking will be present there no matter how hard you try until you don't completely apply unconditional acceptance
@@Siberian_Khatru. yes but it's annoying.. I mean i feel good and still that self talk is there telling me " see u r good now,but why did u worried about that last time ' etc.. and then I think about that event and spiral again.. wish I can live like my former self.. i m so worried for my future.. i m just 30 not yet married.. these self talks continue even in sleep, i can't sleep properly.. this all started when I was afraid of depression relapse and then one video told me to focus on thoughts and not reply.. ever since all I do is self talk and focussing on thoughts. How eu doing now? Hope we can communicate in some way
@@aravinthselvaraj7340 the very reason of u trying so hard to find a perfect answer and achieve absolute certainty causes all the emotional distress which additionally gets more intense from real life problems
There are no easy answers and just like you my mind also always manages to find out a counter argument about everything and doubt everything,the very nature of OCD of constant rumination is just like that,you need to accept that you would always have to be ready to expect the unexpected and that you will never achieve any kind of certainty on things
Currently I'm working on it and it really helps but u would have to work your way for months sometimes even years to fully get over it but u can do it
This is great.
This was so insightful tuank you so much. I have been having high anxiety for days now with minimal breaks and my worst theme has always been fear of suicide and depression and so i have startee having intrusive sadness mixed with panic/doom bombarding me whenever i am nit distracted and i was so tempted to google "is this what depression is like?" But caught that googling is reassurance seeking... but this video really laid out the important stuff and I just am really uncomfortable feeling sadness for fear that it is forever and i wind up WANTING suicide which is the scariest thing. I just want a happy life like we all do . I've never had depression and neither has anyone in my family, so statistically the liklihood is lower... but i qm ruminating in your comments section at this point so i will leave it there 🤣 but thank you so much for this!
Now imagine that's daily and for 6 months ongoing and that's me
1.self talk in mind
2.mind pop ups
3., checking whether I m anxious/ depressed
4.fear of going crazy
These things keeps changing routine
Fuck me this is me to a T for months. Any advice
You are literally me
Does ocd play any part of nightmares. Curious.
Its does
