I am at begning of my recovery journey and my breathing hyperawareness on its peak and litrally avoiding my whole life cant even eat now how should i go about this sometimes i get motivated and try to live my life like i dont have ocd but it seems too much like trying to eat while sensorymotor spike and then i failed to do that's and gets depressed more please tell me how to approach recovery from this point
You're not alone. I cant offer much advice but can I suffered sensirimotor ocd in ny childhood and late teens and I know how it feels. Stay strong. Keep pushing even if you don't feel like you want to. Just to make it through.
If you’ve done the therapies and stuff and it’s not enough maybe you have a severe severe case and maybe there are other comorbidities involved. I had to spend money to do neuronavigated TMS which saved my life because it turned out I had like 20 different areas of my brain based on the FMRI that were severely abnormal. OCDrecovery is a great page for if you only have OCD but I had abnormalities in Tourette’s anxiety panic and depression areas, so the tips on this page did little to help. Take a look at advanced FMRI and neuronavigated tms if you’ve already tried other therapies and medications
@@henryzhao1514 Hey this is quite incorrect advice that will be unhelpful for him. We have to highlight this as I had one of the most severe cases of sensorimotor I have ever seen. It always comes down to beliefs and behaviors.
@OCDrecoveryNick dude I did an advanced fmri and had 20 areas of abnormality correlating to 3-4 different disorders. The neurosurgeon helping with my neuronavigated TMS has been thousands of cases where even ECT doesn't work. He said that CBT and ERP isn't going to do anything if you're so disabled you can't even get out of bed. You need to be able to be out of semi psychosis before you're able to implement any behavioral techniques. And severe severe OCD borders on psychosis, if it doesnt, it's not actually an extremely severe case. If you're able to work, breathe, and move, it's not one of the worst cases I'm sorry. So many people have ended their lives or are basically vegetables due to this condition and are in unbearable suffering. The neurosurgeon had my brain abnormalities at 20/10. I don't care about pity, but I'm telling you, if you're not having dementia and psychosis level symptoms, it's not among the worst cases ever.
Great videos per usual to the team, but for severe severe cases, the notion of exposure and acceptance is going to be worthless until symptoms come down enough to be able to think clearly at all. That requires medication whether it’s pharmaceutical or whether it’s TMS or ECT. There’s no way to teach a man to tread water when he’s drowning. Also, comorbidities can make it so complicated that the OCD is only one piece of a complex issue which means typical “just learn to sit with the discomfort” shit doesn’t work. We need to be open minded that there are some people who truly have extreme cases or complex cases where ERP and cbt are key but not sufficient. FMRI scans and experimental treatments are part of the solution in those otherwise terminal cases.
@@OCDrecoveryNick exposure is only one piece of the puzzle. If doing an exposure is so uncomfortable someone is ready to kill themselves it's not enough. They're going to need something to lower the suffering enough that an exposure even seems possible especially if the compulsions are basically involuntary and mental. If someone has a tic disorder, their OCD is likely to be feeling based on almost automatic as opposed to voluntary and based on avoiding anxiety.
Nice shorts Nick

Hwy Henryz - Unfortunately the suffer will need to try anyway as they are going towards their exposures.
