It's such a weird feeling tho. You obsess over something, thinking how important that is and without definitive answer you can't live comfy, then you try erp for some time, and suddenly it's not that important at all, and you can focus on whatever you want again.
You hit the nail on the head! This is exactly why we do treatment! Way to go!

What is "erp"?
@@igotbusybees Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. This is known to be the best form of therapy for those who struggle with OCD.
Hmm i dont think i have ocd
Just the act of watching videos like this actually seems to help improve my OCD, like I'm already confronting it. It also feels like somebody else is on my side, and not just me against the OCD.
I feel the same way
Same! My ocd has been trying to convince me that what i do is a compulsion🙄 and that i should stop but i still watch them anyway
I spent my teens having really really bad ocd, and the moment I actually reached out for help from a professional, I'd say 20% of the anxiety dropped off within a week. OCD HATES when you take productive action to fight back against it.
I'm feeling just what you are feeling.
I noticed that anomaly too.
First of all i found your channel by accident, and i wanna say thank you for telling me detail by detail, about my anxiety and ocd, i was going crazy the past week, now im alot better, because i understood what those thoughts are. And ive been doing exposures as well they work just perfect.
Hey man, how are you? Just passing by to thank you for your help. Every time I watch any of your videos I clearly identify myself. Hope you continue posting this type of content! Cheers from Brazil
Really thankful for this channel. It is really not as easy when you try to control the compulsion and end up succumbing to it. But your tips Nathan has really helped me a lot to manage my condition and still be productive at work. Watching your video a day keeps the doctor away.
I’m so glad to have so many people in the comments like me even tho I’m not the only one with OCD it feels like it sometimes.
Ty for your vids 😊
I just sit with the anxiety and allow my ocd to tell me whatever it's going to tell me without reassuring myself and it works wonders!
Me too!!
Thanks. Will try this.
Same!!
same, but sometimes my brain automatically pushes a thought-compulsion without me being able to control it. I suffer from pure o
@@floweryunicorn8888 your brain automatically does a compulsion? Is it possible to use Nathan's 'maybe maybe not' technique each time the thought comes up. Plus, if you can, try deliberately thinking that scary thought for a few minutes at a time. This will help your brain get bored of the thought and hopefully free you from it's grip. Best wishes x
You have no idea how much you have helped me. Thank you so very much.
These videos help soothe my mind and remind me I’m not the only one with these intrusive thoughts. Thanks for the help.
You are awesome, I love how you do not make a big deal out of it. For your question, my fear never came true and still I do the rituals. When one thing happens my brain us just like "told you, this is why you have to check all the time, you did fail". In the last two weeks I decided to cut it off, and I can see that nothing happens, it is not easy but it is working with your help and my therapist. I am trying my best to live with what ifs.
Thank you so much for your great videos, Nathan. You are brilliant and kind. With me at the moment, it's not that I'm worried that I will do what the intrusive thought is about - it's fear of having the thought.
I just wanted to tell you this has been helping me the past few days. Thank you!
Man I've just stumbled upon one of your videos and it just clicked for me. I've just realized how far into OCD I am. Oddly enough, I never thought about how big of a problem it is, but somehow it became clear. I'll follow through the experiment and see how it goes, but I'm already feeling better just to know that I am not alone with this though. Thanks for that
Most of the time, content on the Internet connected to OCD isn't helpful because of the way it is presented. This video here is a great example of how someone should present a helpful piece of information on OCD. It is friendly, calming, without any extra stretching out, no useless bla-bla-bla. Straight to the point, this man says the things as they are. Thank you sir for your video. Although I know that my fight will be very tough even after watching this video, I think it kind of calms me down and strives me a little bit in the right direction. I'm not going to think (like I did before) - oh, this video is definitely going to help me immidiately, because this only results in dissapointment. The reason quality content like this doesn't help us people with OCD is because we hold the key. Videos like this one serve as an encouragement to fight back and in a way you feel not alone - usually people with OCD are very isolated and through this video, for example, you could "communicate" indirectly to another human being, it being this man who seemingly understands OCD well. We, humans, are social creatures and social deprivation mostly is only going to make things worse. To all folks out there having an OCD attack, or dealing with hardcore symptoms right now - don't forget who you are, put your well-being in the first place, never foget to care for your health and after all - ask yourself: "Do I want to waste my life away due to OCD, or do I want to go through all this extreme uncertainty so I can fulfill my goals and future plans?"
Thanks therapist.Its very difficult to control all of your thoughts through out a day but channels like yours are very supportive and helpful as well to overcome plenty of ur fears...
I recently diagnosed with OCD and depression but after a month and a half so far, i think i can control myself better than 2-3 weeks ago.To be honest I'd never be able to overcome my situation without medicine but whatever doesn't kill you it makes you stronger at the end.That's my kind of mentality..
Have a good day!
Thank you so much this helped me a lot! 🙏🏼
Thank you Nathan. My daughter has extreme anxiety and OCD. I have told her to watch your videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the support! I hope your daughter can find some relief!
Thank you for these videos, you have taught me how to handle my ocd and calm down. Cheers from Norway
Awesome! I want to go to Norway some day!
Thank you so much Nathan!!😍

So excited for your future videos!!!!!
Thanks! That helps me stay motivated to keep creating!
Thanks! This helps a lot

Your videos has been helping me a lot man, you’re a Hero!
Thanks so much for your kind words! You're awesome!
Thank You Nathan,Your videos are very helpfull🥰,,Love from Bangladesh❤️❤️
How amazing to listen to you
thank you for this video
After three failed relationships/dating experiences where I just didn't feel "connection" with them, especially this last one because he was a super sweet guy and I had lots of high anxiety about trying to figure out why I felt a lack of connection with him and calling it off I developed ocd about checking to see if I'm connected to others or fear that I'm not connected to others. It's sent me into a depression because I felt extremely awkward around my family and best friend I used to be completely comfortable with. I've learned/learning to accept the fear and not panic as much. It was devastating at first because I was scared to leave the house or be around anyone because of my sense of panic. It still gets to me because I don't like to feel awkward when I see people I was previously completely comfortable around. It's so weird I have a hard time explaining it. Now that I've somewhat been able to accept the panic or if I'm having a good day I noticed it helps if I stop checking my feelings. I got in that habit when I was dating the guy, checking to see how I felt when I was with and trying to force myself to feel a certain way. Basically what do I do to keep healing from this? I just have to ignore the awkward feeling and still go out and try to shut off every checking thought?
Thank you so much
You are awesome Sir
I owe my life to you. I am still suffering from contamination OCD but in comparison with a few months ago I feel so much better. I always tell myself as you suggest when I expose to my OCD, Maybe or Maybe not.
This video helped already alot
I am so glad it helped!
Thank you!
Hey Nathan! Do you think you can do the types of symptoms with ocd at different severities? Sometimes I feel like if I don’t feel things at the same level as other people something must be off. Thanks!
Thank you so much 💜
You are so welcome
For the first time ever since being diagnosed. I feel like i am finally making steps to control my ocd.. little steps but steps! thank you for teaching me about ERP.. youre amazing!
yes! that’s so cool when you can control that! it was too hard for me, so i’ve started with meds first!
Thanks!
I always forget how good that intro song is! 😂 🔥
Haha. I appreciate it!
I was thinking that trying to look into to it would make me feel worse but actually confronting my thoughts and seeing other with the same problems od helps a lot
You have to believe in yourself, you have to believe that you are not your ocd, once you separate yourself from your ocd, once you say it out loud that it doesn’t scare you, you take control of it. These intrusive thoughts don’t get to define who you are. These thoughts are absolute garbage, and they don’t get to interfere with your life and spoil it. It is very tough to not react to them, but it is the only way you can overcome them. I am struggling a lot but I will get better by taking therapy and trying my best to not pay attention to these garbage thoughts. My heart goes out to all of you struggling with this illness, I hope you beat this disease. may god bless you all.
Of course they do! Repeating thoughts manifest
I feel like I may have OCD to some degree. Although I don't struggle with all of these thoughts, I've had some of those intrusive thoughts (related to harm, sexual things, etc.) for the past 4-5 years, and I only just now realized they're more of a problem than I thought because it got worse after coming back to school from the pandemic, where I’ve been constantly battling amplified anxiety, shame, and plenty of other feelings, ever since. I watched a video on OCD recently and have been researching it since because I really think it's the only things that makes sense for all these thoughts/urges I've had that I'd never wish to have. For the past few years, I've been able to ignore them, never act on them, and get by with my life hiding them so I'd never have to bring it up to others and drive them away with my twisted thoughts. But suddenly this year, they grew worse (as my anxiety did), and now it's become difficult to actually ignore and battle these thoughts now. Your videos are helping me on the journey of piecing myself back together and finding new ways to think or help myself, I really appreciate them. 😊
First I like to say thank you for this video . I am 32. Now and I started noticing something wasn't right when I was 15 that's when I really noticed it. I watched a mtv tru life episode and it was about OCD. I finally figured out what it was. I attempted to get help in the very beginning stage. It's been 17 years now and I'm starting to realize that I need to finally fight this. It has really affected me in real life. What I used to do in the beginning is joke about it so whenever I did something the involved my OCD I would make a joke making fun of me having OCD around my friends. When truly I did really have OCD. You said some things that really hit home in that short video. Those thoughts I have in my head if I don't do this or touch this three more times etc this bad thing will happen. If I don't follow through with the compulsion then that threat that I had in my head will happen. You said something in this video that I really like we don't know the outcome until it's truly tested. If you don't check the stove it it might start the house on fire. Uncertain I'm living life is there no problem to solve there is nothing to solve. I will keep that in my head uncertainty. I really just want to get rid of this completely I'm tired of all my rituals and I've been doing my research again and seeing other videos that could possibly help me fight this. I will stay up on your channel and hope to see other good videos. I really do appreciate you posting this video and just a short amount of time I did catch some good ideas.
My contemplating doing this experiment is giving me high anxiety, but great advice thanks.
Thank you
Thank you so much for your videos! I am just wondering what the best method would be with Rocd.. what can I do about thoughts like „what if I like this person more“? Just answering myself „yes maybe, maybe not“? Or is there an option like in the example with not checking the oven and just leaving the house? Is there something similar I can actually DO like in person? It’s so difficult because it’s just the thoughts and not really an action in real life that you can change.. maybe you can help me with that
Thank you 🙏
Hello, what did you mean when you said “MAY BE” in 0:23? I got confused and anxious that is ocd thoughts maybe can be real? What help with EPR that I put in consideration OCD ideas are lies only or at least I don’t have to respond, believe or follow them because it makes me being abnormal person. I really love your videos and it help me a lot on my OCD treatment thanks from the bottom of my heart.
What you said at the end resonated with me. This is super personal but one time I was unable to be intimate with my partner, my member just didn't arrive to the party. After this I literally obsessed over it and what was it meaning, seeing other attractive women would trigger me as I was constantly ruminating about what this ment and the constant uncertainty of this happening again, what if I'm never able to have children, what if I just don't enjoy sex, what if what if what is and the anxiety of it happening again. I developed a compulsion of basically feeling myself multiple times a day to just prove an erection was possible. I'm doing a lot better now I've been practicing all this "yeah, so what.. my wife loves me and if it doesn't happen it doesn't. Who cares? You're right.. I won't be able to perform and my life will continue - and this isn't a problem needing to be solved here in the grocery store, this is a false signal." Etc. Also adjusting my mindset helped. I've been trying to see the situation as a learning experience and see how much more close me and wife are for having to communicate this and get closer. Maybe it pushed me to go see someone and talk to someone as this issue is probably caused by a bigger picture.
Thanks
Any tips for solving constant stuffy nose feeling anxiety? Sometimes very uncomfortable. Physicians said that was just normal nasal cycle
I just started therapy with NOCD for about a month and I LOVE them. I super recommend it
My fears have came true before and thus i predict it will happen again anytime. This is what causes me to check the news constantly. Unfortunately it caused me to get really upset and depressed. This stuff is not in my control. I wish i didn't have to dwell on it constantly.
OCD is a considerably delicate and potent experience. I've had vague and under-toned experiences of it throughout my life and it's only until lockdown that my mental health started giving me intense problems. Does weed fuel OCD?
I don’t think weed helps it much.
I feel like while I was smoking weed for the last decade or so, I was still experiencing some undertones of OCD but didn't realize it.
Only until I got sober has it become a very real experience for me.
I tried smoking weed again a month ago and although it made my thoughts a little less sticky, I want to learn how to manage this naturally.
It's okay as long as it's medical weed
Weed, as well as any drug, hides what is going in the back of your mind from you. It may not particularly cause OCD, and it may relieve symptoms during use, but as those symptoms are hidden, the actual problem will fester and grow further out of control. If you really want to take your health seriously, stop smoking for a while and sort yourself out. This doesn't mean you can NEVER smoke, as making that commitment would mean that weed still rules your life, but it would wise to use it in moderation after your life is in order, much like alcohol. True freedom is being able to do what you want, when you want, because you know you can. Hope that helps bro
@@YoungDumBased well said!
Definitely where I'm at currently.
A puff of weed if I feel like it but doing everything without weed for the most part.
Thanks for this comment
this video has really helped me , I thought I was a horrible person I even slapped myself once and thought about taking my life because I don't deserve to live and I always cry and ask God to forgive me
My thoughts are so stressful about what people are thinking of what I have said, if they think they thought I was a harm to others after this convo I have had it’s touturing me
How do you apply this to mental compulsions, especially rumination? For instance what if I’m making (this) up?
Thank u for your videos!!! It really helps me a lot. I wish u can be my doctor 😅
I obsess over harming thoughts I’m scared that I’ll harm someone I’m scared to drink alcohol or anything because I don’t know what it’ll do. I have a ocd diagnosis, on sertaline which has helped a bit, although I’m having a bad day with it today. See a therapist and have been told by them multiple times that they don’t think I’ll ever hurt anyone and that I have the thought because I’m empathetic to the point where the thought of me harming someone makes me distressed. OCD is a pain.
Wow! I just found this channel!!! I was just prescribed Luvox for those tendencies. If anyone has any experience with this med, I would love to hear your feedback.
Having ocd and doing certain movements like guilt saliva picking t shirts repeating words otherwise didn't focus.. My mind didn't tolerate uncomfortable feeling and wanted to quick fix. I am doing conscious breathing and coinscious guilt saliva didn't able to don't do. Please suggest me something.
Man I'm so sick and tired of feeling sick and 😩😢 so sorry to anyone feeling like this
How long does this last ?? I know it’s not over night but can I get a range or it just depends on people
Mais um vídeo que ajuda demais, foda
Brother.. I have a doubt... I often do things daily... And one day if im not able to do them it makes me scared something would go wrong. For example i ask my mom to comb my hair every day and if one day she is unable to do it.. I start feeling scared and worried and negative. Is it some kind of ocd?
I have been taking psychiatric help for anxiety disorder related to health.
Is there an absolute cure for OCD? I won't live with it my whole life I refuse to suffer this for the rest of my days.
Absolutely no fear of anything. That's the cure. Unfortunately, 99.99% of people care enough about life, stuff and people to have at least some fear.

A friend wants to go on a road trip but I having OCD thoughts from now, and even considering not going to avoid. What do I do ERP and just fight through it or give in. I am so lost and helpless.
I have a plane trip without my parents tomorrow and I’m really scared. It’s hard to just face it because my brain has had this “if I make it back” mindset for months. I don’t even know exactly what I’m scared of I’m just scared and it’s making it really hard for me to pack and be excited even though it’s gonna be really fun. Any tips for being on a plane and having obsessions?
I know this response is late and I hope everything went well on your flight :) there’s a video by mark freeman on yt called how to have panic attacks on a plane I think and it really helped me face a flight home when I was struggling. I was experiencing intense dizziness and panic basically 24/7. the idea is to allow the brain to throw up what it wants but to do what we value or need to do anyway. let all that be there. Before my trip I also had this sense of impending doom. I was tossing and turning the night before imaging all types of scenarios. The truth is I didn’t pass out, fall down, panic and throw myself out the plane, or lose my mind. I was just really scared. I was dizzy and sleep deprived from the night before and nervous as heck but it was alright. Despite all that going on I had a nice conversation with the person sitting next to me and it helped time pass. I hope this resource helps ! there’s a ton more videos on his channel about how to be a human w a brain that are extremely useful
Hi Nathan I hv intrusive thoughts like I forgot my kids faces when they are one year and same with my family parents before how they look like and I'm feel uneasy what is this pls explain
one of my what ifs did come true last month. I have a habbit of always imagining bus I am on crashing, first time I got on bus in years and it crashed causing my elderly mother to fly to the floor and injure her self as well me into a chunk of metal. Granted thinking about it didn't help at all so no point in worrying
YES! This! Worrying about it didn't change the outcome at all! We can't control everything. I tell myself this, and yet I still live in fear.
Please help me and save my life Sir. I have had OCD for past couple of years. Whenever something would make me anxious it would trigger nausea in me. I would be constantly afraid that what will happen if I vomit in front of people. Will they look at me in a strange way. Too much overthinking and repeated thought patterns resulted me in actually vomitting, although most of the times nothing came out and neither was it in front of people. However, the constant fear,panic and the vomit is a painful thing for me. Over the years although I have been living normally, but lately something trigerred me in imagining that I had my vomit fear and OCD again because someone has done black magic on me that would never go until I die. This repeated thought is making me very panicky and causing me to vomit every day. Please please help me
Thank you, I developed agoraphobia and now I'm scared of the feelings...I'm scared of having a panic attack...sigh
I used to fear panic attacks too, until I just got BORED of them. I purposefully treated them with great disdain. "Oh, THIS again...borrrring!" or "Ok, I wonder how long this is gonna last this time? 10 minutes? Blah, blah, snore!"
They held no power over me anymore and now I don't get them.
My ocd is very mild, i don't like things in simetry, equals and etc.., i wash my hands after using the bathroom, but it's not repetitive
But i have obsessive thoughts, re-checking and contamination fear, these thoughts are like "oh my god something is wrong i'm gonna die" but even if i tell myself everything is fine, my brain can't shut up, it keeps saying im in danger, and sometimes i do some things, but if i feel that i forgot something, i re- check it and i make sure it's done, and jusr by thinking about getting contaminated by a disease that will make something really bad happen like rabies for example, i would completely avoid dogs even if they are clean, just thinking about the disease is enough to make me stay away from dogs
I have a hard time starting something on a day that something bad happens. Yesterday I started something and of course something bad happened and it was on the news. My exposure would be to just continue with it correct?
We tend to not follow OCD's rules at all. That would be an exposure some choose to do. Something bad happens, I do the thing I had planned anyway. 😄
Since I was 7, I've performed fear-based rituals to try and relieve the chronic anxiety I've had since age 4.
If I didn't touch every single soft toy in my room every night, "something bad" might happen. Back then, the fear was that my parents would get divorced, my dad might hurt my mum, or my dad might die.
In my mid-teens, I got bored and couldn't be bothered touching all 50-100 toys in my room anymore, and deep down I knew that wouldn't prevent bad things from happening, and that I was not able to control other people and it was completely illogical to think that by me touching or not touching an item, it could result in someone else dying. I mean, why are MY actions more important or powerful or relevant than this whole person's LIFE? Answer - they're not.
I "allowed" myself to just touch 3 of my most sentimental toys, and that would be "enough". Around the time of less rituals, the OCD motor tics began.
PS. Yes. My fears have come true. Several times. Ironically, that's resulted in much severe anxiety, but less OCD rituals. Because it showed me that no matter what I did, those bad things still happened. I had no control at all.
Nocd is excellent guys
You know. I always thought out of everything in life, whomever I meet or interact with, that no matter what, my mind would be the only entity that would never deceive me. Like my mind would be the only entity that I could trust..but it seems that a mind wrapped in all sorts of issues is more bad, than having people lie to you.
It seems I can't trust even my mind or people.
You sound like a long lost character from the movie Half Baked in this video, but you’re right, n I totally get what you’re saying.
What if I used my test a couple of times with HOCD thoughts and work, didn't get arouse or anything, but then I realize that and I used it kind of a compulsion, and start having arousal sensations
What if your OCD is generalized? Not so specific 'I need to check the stove or my house will burn down'... instead 'I need to tap this table or something terrible will happen'. It's like waiting an undetermined amount of time for an undetermined thing to happen.
This is how I felt for most of my life (I'm 43), and still do, in that I have a constant sense of dread, impending doom and fear of "something bad" happening.
But I realised about 2 years ago that the "something bad" WAS actually quite specific.
It was the terror that my mum and dad will die, and also that my cat will die. They are my debilitating fears.
And it sucks knowing that both of them probably WILL eventuate, as my parents are in their mid-70s and my cat is almost 14.
I get zillions of thoughts per day and become unable to work but in reality the thoughts never show up,)🙎♀
is it normal that I don't seem to feel anything when I look at her or when I communicate? As if there are no feelings. Is this normal with relationship OCD?
Ive gotten rid of most of my upper body tics, only lower body left - can someone help me with tips etc? My legs are scrathy asf, if i got rid of it i would be happy as a...
Is this the correct way to deal with False Memory OCD too? For example "What if I have done X Y Z?" I just say to OCD, maybe maybe not
It’s soo hard stop repeating the same thoughts in my mind until I said it properly or it feels right 😩
Foreal it’s so mentally exhausting too!!
What about the times when suppose you are eating your food and everytime you take a bite your brain tells you it's something disgusting that you are biting into and also gives you these inappropriate images but you know it's just food and you keep eating yet the disturbing thoughts don't go. How to deal with this? Sometimes it gets difficult for me to finish my meal as i get so disgusted.
The response part is the most important. Can't change the thoughts, just the way you respond. "I love this food" "I hope I get thoughts, they can stay all day" The brain eventually gets it.
@@ocdandanxiety thank you for letting me know how to deal with it.
ERP WORKS THE BEST !
Totally agree!
How to deal with the ocd of excessive hand washing..
Wow that’s so true… in the (15? ) Years I’ve had my adult obsession… it’s never come true. Imagine that. 🙄🙃 eff you ocd!
Hey brother is it necessary to take medication to cure ocd along with therapy sessions.
Please reply mahn u r a ray of hope
Hey! It's not necessary, but MANY see such better success in treatment when they are on a medication.
@@ocdandanxiety Hey thanks for the reply. Is there any complications in future from taking SSRIs for serotonin
The only thing that has turned me off from trying medication is sexual side effects common with SSRIs (from my research)
@@SParker1289 I've tried a lot of SSRIs. Some caused loss of libido but some did not :) every medication can work out differently
I first did ERP w/o meds and was doing ok but kind of hit a wall a few weeks in. I started zoloft 2 weeks ago, paired with the erp, and have been doing better. I was anxious to start ssri’s cause of possible side effects but they have been minimal
In mother of baby n have ocd after covid need some help to overcome
OCD is more Spiritual than people think. Have you noticed that everyone has some level of fear/OCD. Once you gain territory in one area their will be another battle trust me. It makes us stronger, give your life to Jesus Christ today. That’s where the power and authority is!!! Stay up and blessed people.
I've been having a hard time figuring out thoughts and I've just accepted everything and now I start having anxiety and that stuffs and even you know just things are hard even though I may not do compulsions but I don't know if OCD is treated or not. 😭😭
I'm sorry for what you're going through. OCD definitely is treatable. Learn everything you can about treatment and see if you can apply it to your life.
Doing standing meditation.
Check Ali Greymonds YT channels
I'll give those a try 😭😭

I have tried out the theory and nothing happens but I feel like my mind does the same obsessive thoughts over and over again and sometimes I don't give into my obsession and don't do my compulsions but I find out I struggle to do it over and over again...sometimes I find I can resist my compulsions but NOT every time...how do I resist at times and nothing happens but next time around my ocd gives me the same obsession and I just can't trust that I basically proved ocd was a lie but this time around it feels real and I can resist this time around?
Hmmm 😥
I have a video on this. It's going to tell the person that "this time is different" - We have to keep showing it that it's a liar.

So I have a thought.my mind tells me to delete and recreate a new xbox account.then it tells me to get rid of the games and batteries because it had links to that account I deleted.then it says those batteries come of the packet so I better throw the whole packet out.guess what there was some paper under the batteries so that better go to.the game came in a bag so that better go to.then I have to unplug everything to break that link.lastly I throw the stuff out but it can't be my bin,bin at my gym or bin where I work.this is my thought
