I've given up! Because my OCD has gotten so bad! But I just found your channel. And your channel has the information every OCD patient and anxiety patient needs! I am grateful to you! Maybe I'm also can live a normal life in the future.btw love from India 🇮🇳❤❤❤
Great video. Life after OCD to many neck deep in complusions may seem intangible since the idealised future is a brain with zero intrusive thoughts that have been fought off by constant practice of ERP, where you can finally live happy, which is how envisioned it. But that's a complete misunderstanding of how ERP works and how your thoughts behave. There are *no* intrusive thoughts. Your brain just likes to throw up ideas and things, the fact that you're bothering these thoughts is putting your brain into overdrive where you should clean away these thoughts, which is futile, insatiable, and make your thoughts more scary than they are. Using ERP to stop your thoughts is a compulsion in of itself because you think there's something wrong. OCD isn't something that is inherent to people or is like autism where your brain behaves differently, it's all reaction based and requires you to be distressed. ERP is for cutting out compulsions, not the thoughts.
With all of that in mind, because you have nothing to do, not even question your own thoughts, you can just live life. I had a problem with thinking I needed to clean my bad thoughts away, and after four years of having the condition, I'm getting the hang out of it and starting to live my life as I'm getting lazier.
I've been reflecting on years where I was in the midst of compulsions when I look to people who were enjoying their lives like I should have been doing, but I don't think it should always be a sad thing but rather a feeling like cringe. You can cringe and feel awful about the past, but there's something intangibly great about cringe and it is how you've changed for the better. Cringe can silently be great.
This really helps me. We are not clearing away thoughts because our brain keeps popping them out. We ate controlling our reaction with ERP. Makes it clearer and manageable. Thank you! The best to you and all on their journey to freedom and healing.
@@tinarunge1693 Weird I didn't get notified but thank you! And you too!
I miss my life before OCD, before I put myself in prison after a trauma... 😢
Yeah me too 😢
Yeah, it makes me feel like a completely different person. 😔
@@zeussx2120 I honestly don't even remember what life was like before OCD
Me too bro😢
Totallyyy! 🥺
Incredible timing - I was just telling a friend earlier that I needed to act like I don't have OCD despite feeling anxious - the saying 'face the fear and do it anyway' might be a cliche but it's one of the best things you can do - in so many areas of life! It helped me tackle my fear of flying and get on a plane for the first time in 25 years so I have to keep that in mind when I apply it to my OCD too - thank you as always for another amazing video!
I've been having a really hard time lately and a lot of the questions ocd has is whether I'm doing erp right or enough or bla or bla bla bla and everything I'm doing was just always wrong in the eyes of ocd and I've just been going through it. But today I've had a really good day and I was really scared in a lot of moments and I still had a really good day. I've been out with one of friends who is soooo care free and soooo just happy to do anything.. she has a completely full life. And I was watching her do things and thinking how my ocd would make me scared or what would my ocd think if I did that.. I never used to look at her like that... I used to be like her. And I just thought, she doesn't adhere to any made up rules or fears and I used to be like that. And I was happy. And I will be again. 😊
LOVE THIS!!!! I have spent so much of my life lately bedridden and living by ocd’s rules just waiting to “recover” before i could go live. I can go live NOW! Thank you Nathan. It’s not gonna be easy but I am gonna do it! I have existential/ su!cidal ocd but nothing will stop me. I love my life. ❤️Thank you.
I'm over it already. life has become hard with overthinking not sleeping unwanted health anxiety thoughts
Wonderful video Nathan! Thank you.
this is exactly what i'm trying to do rn
Thanks for these videos Im very low on the anxiety scale but im feeling alot better from your channel appreciate it man.
When many years of your life (life choices, things you accomplished) have been based on OCD and suddenly you get treatment and it starts disappearing, is it common to feel totally empty? And to be confused regarding how to proceed in life from now on?
Great video, Thank you.
This man is helping us very very much god bless him❤❤
Thanks a lot for the work you do your a big help
Love this thank you
Thanks for the perspective! Seems helpful for those that refuse exposures or are terrible at consistent practice. What do you think about creating a script about "my life without OCD" to support treatment engagement? ("What if no OCD....I'd wake up, have a thought and NOT do anything but smirk, then I'd skip the folding routine and start my favorite breakfast...etc)
Thanks for this amazing page.
I don't have the opportunity to see a psychology or therapy, is there other ways that can be helpful?
I think one important thing to note if approaching it like this is to make the distinction between doing an exposure and being exposed. He's talked about this in previous videos but doing an exposure means you're choosing to face the fear, but being exposed is when you're exposed to the fear but resisting it or trying to make it go away.
I watch one of these videos when I feel like I'm falling into old habits, thinking I'm doing ERP but I'm actually doing compulsions. It's a good reminder to stay grounded, to remember that it's a disorder. Sometimes, I really will forget and start wondering why I'm so anxious about something, or why it won't go away. LOL
Seems to me the more we seek reassurance and watch videos like this telling us it’s normal that the worse OCD gets. It’s like feeding the habit
This video doesn't seem inherently reassuring. If you're searching for a guarantee that its okay to not do compulsions or that you're doing treatment right, then this is functioning as reassurance for you and you should stop watching videos and go live life. DO the advice NOW even if it doesn't make sense or feel right and let us all know how it goes after staying consistent. Personally I've never regretted resisting a compulsion, only that I didn't start resisting sooner.
Question: When the thought you have anxiety about is a bit fuzzy in your mind, do you try to make the image or thought clear in your mind before doing an exposure? Or do you just accept the fuzzy image or feeling of fear without having a clear picture?
If I'm not tired, I will ask for more of those thoughts and feelings. If I'm tired, like today, I mostly just put up with the recurring thought/feeling
God bless you
It's getting so hard. I'm exhausted 😩.
I have some physical illnesses as well and I'm using medicine for about 11 years now. And I'm just so tired
May Allah (swt) make it easier for you sister in this holy month
Put your faith in the hand of the most high
@@mofassy Enshaallah. Thank you. God bless you
Does ocd thoughts go away after therapy (not completely ocd)just the ocd category i had?
I need a video about rituals when doing compulsions become so second nature to you that you don’t even want to acknowledge them. Also mental compulsions.
Iv had harm ocd washing ocd hair counting ocd my whole life iv just come from hospital it convinced me i had a brain tumor after a trauma im so tired. I just want to live without thinking im going to hurt myself
I have heavy religious OCD and it is making life miserable, but am still battling it , so I should visit religious places isn't it
My case: I have to say that enduring in compulsion is not a problem for me as such, I can fight it, but I am afraid that thinking about something, fighting against something, can attract it. I'm afraid of thoughts on a particular subject. E.g. I don't check my health, ok, but since I think about it so much, I refrain, I'm afraid that I'm attracting something and by going to check, I see that ok, however, it's ok and relief for a few days. Then again, I will feel even a minimal gasp and the completely irrational fears return and I feel a compulsion to check. How to deal with this?
I try to see the correlations in life, that see how many times you thought of something positive, such as winning the lottery and did it happen? no, so there is no such power in the cosmos (this is probably a remnant of some new age books about the power of attraction that I read as a child). I would appreciate your answers
This is unrelated, but can OCD ever get so bad with ruminations that it can seem like psychosis/delsions?
This happens to me!
Hey nathan i am doing exposure and ACT therapy on my own and i feel better know but i have a thought that i can't take these thoughts anymore i feel exhausted
its very exhausting in the beginning but in the long run it gets better, if youre facing your exposures and not letting ocd bully you, you can see it pretty much dissapearing and a lot more easier to deal with in about 6 months, more or less
i have heavy religious OCD and it is making life miserable, but am still battling it
Because of grief and anxiety i have intrusive thoughts and image of my horrible officemate that I dont like and has caused me palpitations and feelings of anxiety I followed the other video for exposure therapy like do not push them back let it be do not judge or care about it and thankfully my fear and anxiety disappeared .The next advice I wanna ask since I dont fear thinking about that image since I see my officemate everyday how can I remove it since I dont fear it anymore I just want to remove it because Its not worth my time it keeps on appearing till now but no more fear and anxiety please help
If you welcome your intrusive thoughts or feelings, they will not bother you as much. The goal should be to live your life with the thoughts and feelings - not to wait till they fade away
I am not like this before my anxiety and depression went away already no palpitations but the picture of the horrible officemate keeps on appearing because I see him everyday I am not diagnosed with ocd as well how should I welcome it so are you saying that everytime it shows I will just think about it?
Life with harm ocd coexisting but not controlling me would look like...me having a child with my husband. Me being able to enjoy cooking and watching my crime shows. Me having faith again.
Everyone first start doing act therapy and then start ERP it helps me a lot ❤
❤
I have OCD. I just remember junk thoughts are just junk thoughts. They're not warnings, messages, moral acts, or facts. They're the opposite of one's Values and Wishes. Do not engage Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts.
Guys, this situation is getting worse, intrusive thoughts, sometimes existential thoughts and I feel as if I hate myself!
I love myself tho,just that my mind keeps telling me that I hate my existence 😢
You sure if I just say okay to it and move on and remember the evidence act like I don’t care don’t ask for reassurance and be with him no mater what it says do I have to do this every time it will get less and fix it
Can OCD cause extreme headache cause I wonder
Yeah like one week or two when my OCD started I had the worst headache imaginable cause my brain just couldnt handle all the stress. Its normal, it will go away, dont worry.
Before knowing I had OCD, I was trying to live my life, but failed miserably because I was getting stuck with every single aspect and making it tremendously negative and anxiety provoking. It makes one do compulsions then! But before getter rid of ocd it is not possible for us to open up to life (life doesn’t open upto us)
Another thing is-
I DON’T THINK I’M WORTHY TO LIVE MY LIFE.
