We ocd sufferers do not fear what happened. We fear that we do not know what could happen or will happen. We do not fear anything except uncertainty.
That's it, well said.
I would go even further and say we fear not being able to handle what could happen
this sums it up. we want to figure it all out at once but we can't.
I didn't even realize it was OCD at first but eventually came to the realization. My problem is that they stop for a few days and then come back. But ever since I've watched your videos due to a lack of being able to afford a therapist, I have managed the compulsions, tingling, and such better. The "I don't care" and "It happens" methods helped me extremely. The headaches are the worst at this point but I just do what I used to do before trying to fight the thoughts and when they were tamed.
Hey dude I also almost overcame OCD without therapy in the end I read lot of reddit and the conclusion was realization it's fake thoughts don't matter + exercise sunlight etc.. Stop getting affected by thoughts they stop completely. Many people in recovery ask themselves if it is gone or not and obsess about it that makes it worse be cool with it. Just My realisation.
Please make a video about thinking you’re changing as a person due to OCD, feeling like I don’t feel myself, losing my essence, unable to live and perform in the world as myself being a person, having trouble with performing well, not understanding which perception of life is reality because they’re very contradictory to each other, and how to loosen your grip and control over everything…
You're a Godsend, Sir. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thank you, nathan. I guess it will happen, sensorimotor OCD fear of swallowing non-living things. "I guess it will happen "
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling with OCD for the last 2 and half years and had many themes of OCD including HOCD, Real Event/False Memory OCD, etc. Currently I'm struggling with Real Event and False memory OCD Since the last two months about multiple events and your videos were extremely useful in my recovery journey. My Real Event and False memory OCD literally made me feel like I'm a horrible person.
Thank you for the reminder! I think it was one of your past videos, but “maybe it will, maybe it won’t” or something along those lines helped mine a lot back when it was really bad. My OCD has been worse lately, so I’m going to try this phrase. Thank you
My OCD takes the form of self harm OCD, which seems scarier than the rest because it’s like “what if it’s the OCD and anxiety that leads to depression and I can’t live anymore.” It seems risky to say something like “I guess it’ll happen” but the truth is, people die from depression, just people die from cancer. I don’t worry about cancer as much for some reason. So it’s hard to say but “I guess it’ll happen”
Thank you for this, Nathan. And, your course is excellent also. I have gone through it, and am going to keeeeep going through it. Must keep fighting the good fight forward against this dreadful thing called OCD...and anxiety, and depression. I have the dreadful trifecta, yes. I did finally find a specializing counselor, but she passed away just in Sept. of 2022. So, in that time and onward, I have found great resources, of which you have become a top source, to carry on this work on all this. Praise and thank GOD for you, sir. I pray for you each day, too. Thank you for all you are doing.
This helps me whenever I feel I didn't wash properly. I think back to the yt short you made. Thank you for everything.
God bless you and your family sir😌🙏may all your wishes come true 🙏
I used it while I was watching this lol one of my consistent obsessions is that my teeth will fall out and ironically I’ve ended up damaging my teeth while checking if my teeth are loose. I’m ready to start putting my fears to bed instead of feeding them.
I cannot trust my eyes. I recheck my messages, my profile picture thousand times in this time when I should be studying, as, my examinations are going on. It's too hard, nobody seems to understand me!
This is great!!!!!!
I ve had every ocd theme and i can manage all but one, existential ocd.
I went through a traumatic event, constant panic attacks and fear of going crazy. Then i had the thought that what if nothing is real? Then it got even worse. I questioned everything around me. It s been two years since then but i still relapse everytime..
it is really weird because everytime i am about to relapse my brain basically tells me: hey, do you remember how bad you felt when you thought you were going crazy and believed nothing was real? We must make sure it doesnt happen again.
Then i get anxious and even the techniques don’t work because i don’t wholeheartedly believe I am safe..maybe because it actually happened in the past( I remember the constant fear, wanting to die so it will end)..
Could you do more videos on existential ocd? Or maybe during the examples you provide when you talk about responding to ocd in general, could you provide some examples in the context of existential ocd?
Sorry for the long rant 😅
I can do it in THREE!!! "IT'S ALL BS!" Okay, maybe that's four.
Thank you so much, you are a life saver.
I guess it will happen.
“The first rule is don’t try to, because if you do, you will be like someone trying to make rough water smooth with a flat iron. And all that will do is stir it up.” - Alan Watts
What made me realize that theres ultimate no fix for your mental problems, and that in itself is a relief fo r you to stop trying, they will calm by themselves.
For me it sometimes work whenever I get an intrusive thought
I say oh my ocd I love you I like these thoughts I dont want them to go away stay with me
And then keep going keeping the thought neutral and boom it goes away after some seconds
i‘ve suffered from so, so many different ocd topics and no matter what topic it was: it was always THE worst. and the others ”weren’t that bad“, but when one topic gets better and an old one that ”wasn’t even that bad“ comes up again, it’s back to being THE worst. one topic replaces another. it’s so frustrating. when the ocd noticed that i was making progress in reacting to my intrusive thoughts (which was not reacting), it sends me the physical symptoms. and i have NO idea how to accept them. they’re horrible, scary and feel so incredibly real. how do you deal with the physical issues caused by ocd? do i just live with it and accept that i feel horribly ill from anxiety? 😢
Great video! My OCD I change paint colours in my house about 3-4 times a year! Brutal , must have lost square footage the layers of paint. BTW love that blue on your walls what’s the name of it?
Thank you for this
Yes let's focus on swallowing everyday ❤
5 words?!
Wait, was that intentional, "I guess it'll happen"?
"silence obsessive compulsive disorder (please)"
i checked this comment 5 times to see if it was actually 5 words.
You gotta risk it for the biscuits
My ocd is gone but now i have health anxiety 😢and endless what ifs about future
I also have such a problem, only my thoughts are connected to my girlfriend, those thoughts have been telling me for the last few months, you don't love her, leave her, and I don't have the strength anymore, I know that's not true because I love her more than anything, I feel it inside me, but they are so much there that I don't know what to think anymore and I just want it to stop because I don't have the strength for it anymore and I know that none of that is true, what these thoughts are telling me, I'm starting to want to be happy and relaxed again and enjoy life with her without those thoughts
Nate, instead of saying in my head "maybe, maybe not" could I say "I will take the risk" ? Do you think is a good way to accept uncertainty?
I have existential OCD and I'm struggling really hard although I'm on medications
Who suffers mannual breathing or hyperventilation after wake up in morning and specially during walking?
I hope this is helpful for those who suffer from most forms of OCD but for me who suffers from real event OCD, I really don’t see how to apply this method. I can’t tell myself that “ok maybe it will happen” to calm my mind since it actually happened, and it makes me sick. What makes me sick is precisely the certainty that it happened and that I can’t do anything about it. Which doesn’t stop me from constantly replaying the event to be more certain every day than the day before that I will never be able to overcome it. I would give anything to only have to deal with uncertainty 😔
In that case in the most uninterested way say: "Ah, thanks for the lovely memory OCD." and move on with your day even if it's difficult. I have real situation OCD too (among other types) so I understand you. Don't confess, don't ask for reassurance, just let the thought come and go.
@ Thank you for your answer. Yes you are right. But sometimes it’s so difficult to resist to another rumination, another review of the memory. It’s like a sort of capitulation : “ok so I have to accept this awful memory, that I’m not a normal person and I will never be like the others”
@@benoil125 That new answer is a new analysis of the thought. That's still rumination. Let the phrase appear but don't engage with it. I do understand you. My real event ocd has been annoying me these days. I know it's difficult but the more you disregard the better.
@@benoil125 If your OCD is telling you that you are a bad person, you have to respond like: "I'm proud to be a bad person. That's awesome! I wish I could do that horrible thing again." You don't have to believe what you're saying but it's a way to retrain your brain that you no longer care about those intrusive thoughts. In my case, this worked perfectly. Respond to your intrusive thoughts like you don't care. I know it can be hard, but with practice and patience, you will manage to move forward. And remember to allow yourself to feel discomfort without trying to push intrusive thoughts away.
Is it normal to be depressed after trying ERP
Yes. The anxiety gets way worse before it gets better, but that's the point. ERP is uncomfortable because you're moving closer to that perceived threat.
What if you heart my comment?
Well, I guess it'll happen 🤪

What If Nate Annoys My OCD....

Hey there, I'm from Germany and I didn't understand the phrase. IT was too fast spoken for me😂😢
Could someone Tell me please?
Guess it'll happen
@@Michawkthanks so much! Englisch is Not my native langage so It's a bit difficult for me to translate this. So the phrase means "IT will happen" or "IT could happen"? Or does He mean both?😊
What about repetitive ocd that happens all day long in head! I repeat a certain screaming voice in my head ! Or let’s say I have the urge to repeat it! Years ago it came as intrusive thought of someone screaming in my head! I imagined it nothing to do with real voices! So it’s more of an earwarm. I repeat it automatically in my head to test it ! Test how it sounds if it bothers me and stuff and if I don’t there is an urge to repeat it! So clearly it’s a compulsion! Pls help me it’s there on and off for years
@@mariastein9642It's like saying "It could happen, I don't care" the phrase is a type of "uninterested response" which teaches your brain to not make it a big deal, it is the opposite of trying to reach the perfect answer anxiously :D
@@clies3286thank you so much for helping me out!!🙋🙌🙌🤗✌️
