Yesterday night I had panic attack🫠I have been treating anxiety from 4 months but still these attacks are coming eventhough i am on medicines🥲Can anyone help me with it🙂Yesterday i was sleeping and suddenly i felt something and it was panic attack but gave me feeling like having heart attack🥲

thank you so much for your videos <3

My son has seen about 4 psycholigist for his ocd and got no help whatsoever. THIS INFORMATION YOU ARE SHAREING IS WONDERFULL AND HELPFUL. YOU UNDERSTAND AND CARE AND THERE IS HOPE FOR A BETTER LIFE. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. MUM

Im always so in my head, I swear I spend the majority of my life either disassociating or in this state

I've been diagnosed with OCD, have spent my entire life in the dance and circus world, but have somehow avoided an eating disorder - at least in the long term. I can absolutely understand the appeal of an ED to feel some sense of control in life. But then I get hungry and need to eat. Lol

I *HATE* the advice to "focus on my breath" during a panic attack, cuz they usually it starts with feeling like I'm breathing wrong 😅 I find that my best short term panic treatment is distraction. 9/10 of my panic attacks happen while I'm driving, so I just turn on some music I love and try to ignore my body lol

Hi doc I’ve been awake for 48 hours I need help can’t sleep

Sugar can feel "addicting," and, sugar addiction is not a real thing. Stating it as if it is can fuel orthorexia nervosa and other eating disorders.

How is "you are awesome" and "you are great" different than a reassurance that someone is a "good person"? I think you might have missed the mark here slightly for people with moral scrupulosity

Derealization and visual snow is my combo

I’m a gang member and honestly it’s terrifying knowing dat I might die at any time

Hi Nathan! thanks for another helpful video. This channel has really helped me figure out how to handle my OCD. Something I’m experiencing lately I was hoping you could talk about is fearing you don’t actually have OCD. I just started Prozac to help my OCD, but I almost feel compelled to stop it to experience the pain of OCD again, just to make sure I actually have it and I’m not making this all up. Especially considering my compulsions are mostly mental, such as rumination, I feel like my specific experience isn’t as valid because I don’t feel the need to wash my hands or check things like a more typical case of OCD. This has made it really painful as I felt I was making progress, but this urge to know I really have OCD feels unique and I’m not sure what to do

I'm gonna guess he has never had a severe anxiety attack

You are such a good and compassionate man. Thank you for your passion and teachings. Much love from Italy

Wish I never had thie

Hey. This is all well and good but I've never heard anyone talk about compulsions in form of trying to make yourself enjoy the thought, almost forcing yourself to embrace the full negative connotations of the thought so I'd be curious for an answer to this 👍❓

If I don’t seek reassurance my panic attacks get way worse and make me feel extremely bad 😭

You are a blessing

Words. Any random word will stick and i will replay it over and over all day for months, and if i tell myself ill think about it later then my ocd gets so loud i cant think about anything else

I’m suffering this right now when I was younger playing with my young niece and then I got the movement down in my groinlole area I didn’t think much of it then because I was just playing now thinking about it now my mind I putting false info in my head and making me feel like a horrible person and it’s eating me alive right now I hope I’m not the only one

This Phobia Was the worst thing that happens in my life because it makes my immune system weaker. It was bad and im still having it but, hugging my parents kinda helped cuz it calmed me down.

Remember, meditation is a journey. Be patient and consistent, and you'll see the benefits. Thanks, Planet Ayurveda, for the guidance!

Everything is triggering me right now and my OCD theme is visual images now 😢

This harm ocd make me unhappy in life

I fear not existing. No afterlife just nothing. It terrifies me to the core and causes me to lose sleep.

Thank you!

My mom watches Law and Order: SVU pretty much all the time and it really triggers my obsessive thoughts.

Just got a call from "employee health" to go get a mask test, they check my blood pressure for that and now I'm anxious!!!

I have scrupulosity ocd for most of my life; and your vids help me so much. Many thanks, Nathan❤

Okay but sometimes it do be feeling that way 😂

I feel like it's different with ROCD/HOCD because when I am sitting with the thoughts and anxiety I am doing something that not just causes me distress but is also potentially harming my partner as well. He's already going through so much right now as a result of this stuff and I unfortunately used to confess to him as a compulsion before I had more information so now I worry that he feels differently about me since he knows some of my intrusive thoughts, anxieties, and topics I ruminate over/Google about. I am terrified of doing anything that might make me feel I need to leave him or that I don't love him and have that manifest in the way I treat him. I don't want him to be able to tell when I'm having those thoughts but it's so impossible because he knows me too well. We'll be hanging out and then I will suddenly go silent and stare off into space and then when he asks what's wrong I feel such a horrible flare of anxiety in my chest. He's always so nice about it but I know that inside he feels worried and insecure about my feelings. It kills me that I'm hurting him this way because he's young and he's such an amazing, loving person. I am so afraid that if I stop reassuring myself from my ruminations and intrusive thoughts that I will hurt him. Does this work with ROCD? I feel so guilty, like I am disregarding the happiness of my partner for selfish reasons, when I sit with the thoughts. I feel so guilty, because I feel like he is hanging in the balance of all this, even though I know I want to be with him. I worry all the time that I shouldn't even be in a relationship if this is how I am and I don't want to traumatize him because this is his first serious relationship.

What about if the scenerio is pure Ocd? What should we do then to get rid off it?

Thank you!

You're helping save lives my friend. Great content

When I'm watching TV on the sofa I always then focus on my breathing. Means my chest gets tighter and I can breath shallower. This isn't ideal before heading to bed. I'm not scared of the trigger because Ive learnt to accept and sit with it but I'm frustrated by it. Its feels like the one piece that's holding my recovery back.

Πούτσα στις ανεπιθύμητες σκέψεις !

actually ssri can be counter productive for certain people. My racing thoughts and focused fears come from bi polar disorder. ssri can have the opposite affect on me. Although I don't have ocd there are some similarities in the thought process of hyper focusing on things that cause long-term distress. so rather than taking ssri anti phycotics could be very beneficial helping calm these thoughts.

😁

Such helpful advice

I needed that

religious scrupulosity + being gay is ROUGH

I only have one question… one that I have wondered for years that so far no one professional, or otherwise, has been able to answer… and I am sure that I am not the only one who has this question… but what does one with OCD do if they do the whole exposure thing you were mentioning, and in the process of it, it causes their panic to skyrocket to such a point that they’re fine or flight response kicks into such a high level that they basically treat anyone and everyone as an enemy, and where it came in a lot of cases, more often than not get so out of control they actually can lash out very violently, sometimes physically sometimes just verbally towards those around them even those who they truly care about, and don’t wish to hurt? And personally for my own experience, if I could figure this one thing out, I could literally do any of the other things mentioned on your channel, no problem.

Oh my God… Thank you so much for this. I’ve written all of this down so I can practice it in the future. Thank you.

I have been getting restless legs syndrome for about two years now and my sleeping has been a nightmare. On top of that my panic attacks have been really intense in the day and intrusive thoughts that make me jolt at night it just doesn't seem to end. Now i am obsessed is it Parkinson's disease or my anxiety but i don't let the GP give me a check over because i have White coat syndrome and panic when i see any kind of medical instruments. Anyone else like this please reply. 😱

I’ve been subclinical/recovered from all my mental illnesses for 7+ years now! ❤ Yes, it’s hard and it takes A LOT of work, but you need to ask yourself if you like where you are now-and I bet that’s a big NOPE. So, trust the specialists and face your fears with ERP. It’s worth it.

I started cutting my hair obsessively after getting covid.i really think its ocd+ body dysmorphia. I felt my hair was uneven and just kept chopping till i buzzed my hair. Honestly i hate it but i cant stop altogether.

This is brilliant, thank you.

There was some triggers for me here, but instead of clicking off, I just continued watching it’s difficult, but I know that it helps

This is level of cruelty.

Thank bro. , but sometimes I feel anxious without reason, i don’t know what trigger it
