What questions do you have that I can answer? ❤
Can I deal with somatic ocd like other ocd??
Is it possible that I developed the OCD little by little? Like I started having thoughs about me being gay since I was 13, but they werent so frequent, but they will definetly anxiety related and I had to do something to be calm again, my only worry is that it wasnt 24/7 thoughs like it is in the present
I have had every variant of OCD going and found a way to break it by physical action/exposure, but I really struggle with real life/false memory where the two have got so engrained. It didn’t even strike me until a year ago that I had ever done anything wrong. I am struggling with perimenopause too, my OCD arrived with perimenopause and postpartum. The time I fixated on was during my pregnancy. I have no thoughts of doing anything wrong at that tome, believe me I have checked back thoughts for the last 12-months going back 6-years. I don’t know how to break this? Thank you. I didn’t even know memory OCD was even a thing until your video and I have had 5 therapists try and help.
Thank you ❤
How do I differentiate between hygiene carefulness and obsessiveness?
Why is traditional talk therapy not as successful in treating OCD?
Is it common to get one compulsion under control, and a different one to develop?
I have been in recovery for 5 years now, I just clicked on the video to write this comment. I want the readers to know that they have the power. OCD is treatable, I wish the best for the person reading this!
Thank you 🩷
How did you do it
Thank you ❤
@@synchro9471 Just do ERP and don't ask for re assurance I recovered my selft 4years now
This is completely true. ERP is the solution. It's hard, it's painful, but eventually you will see a light and you will be better. It took me 6 months, but it is necessary to go through this pain to get better. Everyday ERP is the solution until your brain says 'Wow, there's really no danger.' You can do it!
you're the reason why my ocd has gotten a hundred times better over the past 2+years. thank you
For anyone in a place where they are questioning themselves about recovery. It is possible. I did it myself. I started treatment with Zoloft, and it helped me a ton! For me, I get thoughts way less than before, and I trained myself on how to react properly to them. Sometimes a new thought will pop up, and I may take a while to recognize that it's just OCD in disguise again. But fret not! Go ahead, it is possible. Life's been way better.
I've been in recovery for ocd through NOCD for 3yrs now. Before that I was seeing a therapist who was familiar with ERP. I actually credit her for the first to truly understand me. Before that I was hospitalized twice because no one knew what it was. They just assumed I was suicidal and even the inpatients were horrible with not knowing signs of ocd. That breaks my heart and I wish for better mental health care in hospitals because it pains me that isn't was a traumatic experience for me and others I'm sure. But I was lead to NOCD and then shortly I found your channel. Both have changed my life. Does that mean I'm ocd free? No lol. Does that mean I don't have days anymore where I'm struggling and being kicked around by the ocd? No. In fact, the other day I was really upset that it wasn't getting "easier". Mad at myself that I received a NOCD conqueror badge but don't feel very "conqueror-ing" (if that's a word lol). She reminded me to not ask why it's not getting easier but instead remember that I AM living according to my values.
Did you have a SI theme ?
@@williammorrison8408 ideations? No not really. That's what they thought and what I called it for a while but from time to time I notice it as self harm ocd
I am having obsessing thoughts about how to stop obsessing thoughts. Im ruminating about how to stop ruminating. All the tips i here in videos replay in my head, they have become the intrusive thoughts. This feel hopeless man. I did get oast all the religious obsessions i had. But these feel unstoppable
Meta OCD
Don't push them away. Don't just use them as ritual. Contemplate them. Sit with them. Hope with yourself that they won't ever go away.
@@xFranzinox how do I do that though? Do I consciously think thoughts about overthinking, ruminating and ocd?
@@xFranzinox how do I hope they never leave? Consciously think I hope?
Youre on the right track. Youre slowly realizing you have no control over your thoughts and they are testing you to not interfere with them. Its trying to show you that you dont have control and to LET GO because the more you obsess and ruminate you are literally training yourself to have ocd.
My compulsion is constantly thinking what about what i forgot because at stage in life where i really need to work hard to take care of my business & personal life. So forgetting something about it becomes unbearable. PLEASE POST A VIDEO ON THIS
I definitely have trouble with my organization and cleanliness, and if I touch something with my right hand, I HAVE to touch it with my left. Idk why, but something just tells me that I have to. And if a cup is on a coaster, the coaster has to be exactly facing towards me, and so does the cup. I've also never met someone like this, but my favorite number is 8, (I hate odd numbers) and I also like the number 2, and once, I was putting on hand sanitizer, and something told me to do 16 pumps of hand sanitizer (because 8x2 is 16) and I did it. My friend was with me, and she just laughed and asked me why I did it, and I said "IT'S MY OCD!" Everything has to be in line, and organized, and people just don't get it. Sometimes I do some stuff like if I rub my hand against something, I have to do it with my other hand, and some people look at me weird, and I just get super frustrated. It's not like I WANT to annoy myself, but something tells me I HAVE TO DO IT. So pls try and understand. If you know someone like this, talk to them. ❤
Hello Nate, could you make a video about the ways you can become or stay calm when you do exposure therapy?
The idea with ERP is to feel the discomfort, let it be and little by little you will generate resistance. But DO NOT fall into compulsion. Wanting to 'feel better' can be an avoidant activity, which does not help ERP treatment.
It's hard for me to NOT hate people who say there is no recovery and try to convince others about this just because they are not succeeded yet.
With my OCD, I can't tell the difference between a true apoIogy and a seIfish apoIogy. Whenever I upset, disrespect, or argue with my mom, I apologize (repetitively), but I'm starting to think I do so more for myself than for her. To remove the guilt and redeem myself. I never thought about this until I saw a show where a girl apoIogized to her sister for ruining her birthday. Sister 1: _I did something that I regret and I cannot feel better until I apoIogize._ Sister 2: _So this is about _*_you_*_ feeling better._ Sister 1: _Yes. Oh, and you._ Sister 2: _You're amazing. Even when you do something for someone else, it's still mostly about you._ This concept made me think deeply: is it wrong to apoIogize mostly because you're miserabIe with guiIt? I KNOW I apoIogize for that reason. But is it the only one? I think it is primarily. I feel guiIt, so as a natural response, I apoIogize and it helps make me feel better. But now I don't know. At this point, I can't tell anymore if I'm _truly_ apologizing. I'm confused about my feelings. But I know one thing: I can't handle guiIt. I just can't. I can't handle the idea of me being a bad person, so maybe I do apologize to keep being a good person and preserve my pride and self-honor.
I'm wondering - this false memory ocd?
-I get false memories of me doing bad stuff, and I've never had these false memories in the past (never thought about these false memories until now)
-I avoid places that may trigger my false memories
-the more I think/ruminate about these false memories, the more real they seem and the more they warp/more false memories created
-I feel a sense of guilt with it even if these memories are fake
-its hard to complete tasks/do things when ruminating about false memories
-these false memories seem hyperrealistic and vivid, but when i compare it to an actual real memory that did happen, the false memories seem almost dreamlike (nightmarelike more like)/blurry/cloudy
Also another thing is that I try asking my parents about these false memories, and they keep on insisting/telling me that it's all false but it feels so real to me 😢😢
Also the false memories stay dormant in my head from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and I have dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of these false memories
Also I go through each and every false memory in my mind and reassure myself that each one is false and get a sense of relief, but suddenly the false memories come back in my mind and my mind tells me they're real even though I just told myself that they're false??
I need reassurance and comfort and hugs and someone to hush me and tell me that these false memories are not real because they feel so f*cking real and I'm worried what if they are real?
I need reassurance and someone to comfort me and tell me that these false memories are fake and false because they feel super real to me, and what if they are real?
Please make videos on other therapies and how can we use it with ERP therapy combined for recovery
Behavioral activation is working well with this for me. JOCD is a great service if ur insurance will cover it
Just face your fear and doing ERP concistently you will recover 4years since I recoverd ❤🎉
Hello nate ,love your video❤ can you please tell me how powerful is a worry script exposure for ERP ?
I have relationship OCD, will ERP work in that as well?
Yes.
Hello nate ,love your video❤ can you please tell me how powerful is a worry script exposure for ERP ?
Do you have any videos on ocd and cardiaphobia? Really struggling and can’t seem to find any help.
How about somatic ocd ?
Is health anxiety and focus on physical symptoms OCD?
Hello, in a relationship and suffering with relationships OCD which is effecting this, please can you advise me how to do ERT for this?
Can medication treat ocd completely?
It will surely help
No but it can help. I'm not a doctor but I have heard that once your off the medication, you may experience the same Ocd symptoms because it was never treated with therapy. ERP therapy is the gold standard Ocd treatment. Ocd can't be "cured" but you for sure can recover and live a great life
There is a lots of hope in gene therapy , it still will it treat OCD OR CURE Ocd , one thing is clear it will def... Bring l9ng term relief , even though im ok with my current situation , been duing expores
