    Thank you so much for your videos! I don't know if I necessarily have OCD, but I've struggled with anxiety and intrusive/ruminating thoughts for a long time. This advice has really helped me to feel in control of my life again and feel like myself. Understanding that thoughts are just thoughts and feelings are just feelings really helped me to make progress and do things that used to scare me.

    My favorite ocd channel. The others are trying way to hard to release "new information" like: 5 things against ocd or try these 3 things etc. and at the end you are more confused than before.
    This channel is more like a friendly reminder to stick to the basics and to keep going.
    And maybe or even maybe not, everthing (or probably just something) is going to work out. 😅

      If you really think no one likes you, why is that? Is there something you can do to change yourself a bit instead of feel sorry for yourself? Not blaming you but maybe you beed to be more pr less something to not be off putting or whatever it is thats driving people not to like you.
      Unless youre being paranoid maybe.

    I really liked this. I suffer from years long crippling anxiety, disability (physical), PTSD, GAD &Panic Disorder, and OCD (various subtypes). I do CBT and talk therapy. But, isn't talking about the anxiety, or New stressor, triggers, techniques, symptoms "doing something about it"? For some people simple talk therapy or maybe ACT does help . Some times for years, if not longer. But a lot of that is like 1 or 2 particular things. For me they all feed in like vicious cycle, like a school of fish with varying types of "fish hooks" all going different directions, different sizes, shapes, styles, etc. Some times the thoughts and symptoms are so bad, that they take up like 85% of my day, and it's like being in a protracted Anxiety/Panic attack for days or longer, with even derealization (not depersonalization)and it's like everything is a trigger, and I'm just "dying". So is doing both CBT (modified with CPT, tapping, ACT, All kind of in one) every two weeks, and just base talk therapy in the week between CBT not "doing something"? Is it not helping/helpful? Thanks Nathan.

    My fishhook is probably a fused part of my body at this point. It’s all centered around harm OCD and panic attacks when the intrusive and what if thoughts come in and blah blah blah. I am working towards accepting it and staying engaged instead of avoiding which has increased everything. OCD and anxiety are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at me now that I’m trying to do ERP, it’s exhausting

    Hi I love your videos
    I tracked my ocd and found it got worse around certain times of my menstrual cycle which I could handle because I knew it only lasted a few days but now it’s stopped and I’m in HRT but the OCD is random now and this has caused me to panic and anxiety and OCD get worse. Are you aware of hormones effecting OCD ?

      Because your body is so used to anxiety, it's gonna be like "Huh, why isn't this happening anymore?" and the only way you can stop this is through continuing to live normally so your body will INSTEAD say "Ah yes!, that's normal!".
