I want to take this moment to thank you so making this series. At a time when mental health therapy is not so accessible and expensive for large amount of people, you initiative helps people from all around the world. I have had OCD from 3-4 years now and I almost completely recovered 2 years ago after watching your OCD series. It is back now and i am rewatching all your videos to get myself on track again but I want to tell you how big of a difference you are making in people's lives and the gratitude I have along with other people to make such important information free and accessible. Love from India :)

Ive suffered with ocd for the last 12 years. Theres no life with ocd. I look at myself and realise why the hell havnt i achieved nothing. Never held a long term girlfriend in my life. Havnt had a proper career. This condition ruins me, i feel disabled. absolute crippling. My minds a paradox and i feel like theres no way out. I feel lonely and broken. Ive got dreams that i want to pursue but cant do them because of ocd. Your basically crippled with ocd. I wouldnt wish this condition on anyone absolute torture. The most upsetting thing is i want a life but i cant. In tears everyday with this condition. Makes me go down to my knees. But i have something in spades thats willpower and determination going through the havoc of ocd each day and still standing. I get pride knowing i go through each day with my mind having to battle all the time and being trapped in my thoughts. Its a housebound condition. I take cold showers daily for the past decade and i do my exercise. Rest of time im housebound as its a housebound condition. Finally made a move after 12 years and seeking help. Hopefully i can recover and learn how to manage my paradox of a mind thats overactive. Life is so difficult with this disorder. Maybe just accept i have ocd and life gave it to me and always remember its not my fault. I will keep being in tears and going through the agony this condition gives me. At the moment i feel like im not going to have a life. But i do understand that could change so dont rule out the possibility. Ocd is my fulltime job battling my mind all day everyday. Im going to look a this as medievil torture, and think i will be more resilent later on if when i recover. I like all of your videos verygood. When i get intrusive thoughts i can let them go easy. For example a thought of hurting someone it doesnt bother me. My actual subset of ocd bothers me order and symmetry. Mental ordering etc putting my thoughts in order iam the just right type of ocd.

Can you do a video on ocd relating to physical sensations? I keep having intense fears of chest and head pain...so I keep getting chest and head pain. It gets worse the more I focus on it, which makes it harder to ignore. It has gone on for days, and I'm emotionally exhausted. Generally thoughts about losing control of my body and what should be automatic functions (like breathing and blinking) also scare me. Like "I will have to think to breathe."

I've tried just deal with uncertainty and it worked for a short time, but it always comes back. It's just specific topics I feel I need certainty about, mainly relationships in general. One doubt leads to another and I get stuck in this loop. It gets bad to the point of me getting panic attacks. I can't enjoy life anymore because of this. 😢😔

I don't know what to do with these thoughts. They've been with me my whole life and changed according to my circumstance. I've probably had almost every thought in the book. When I tell people about what it's like in my shoes, they say, "That sounds exhausting." It is very exhausting. I've wished before that I could get rid of my mind without taking my own life. Living without a brain. Sounds better than this torment day in and day out.

Hey, I have a pure ocd about not getting hard while having sex. I am 22 year old healthy male. I used to get hard before having this ocd. When this ocd came I felt fear and anxiety. These anxiety affected me having lower sex drive and when i am talking with my gf i constantly check if i am hard or not. Because i am in anxiety and stress i dont get hard or it doesnt stay. So I get more anxious because my ocd is attached to it. And this vicious cycle is going on.obsessive thought>checking>not getting hard>more obsessive thought. Please help

Ms. d'Ath, I've watched everyone of your very helpful videos, and while I understand that we all have random thoughts and images that we cannot control, we can only control our reactions to them, yet as much as I can see the practical sense in the advice you graciously provide, and at times my "fog" does lift and I can see clearly enough to quell the "intrusive" thoughts at times and have productive bouts of happiness, nevertheless, what remains even though I believe my reason has prevailed, it's the emotional pain that still sits like a massive mill stone in my chest that weighs me down so much I start to sink again. it's the associated emotional pain that seems unrelenting. How do I get relief from that associated pain? anti-depression/anti-anxiety medication as well? If my OCD didn't hurt so emotionally, even my reason at times asks; Why does the OCD mind cause so much emotional pain, thus negatively affecting the health of the host body; that same host body that the mind actually needs to "survive?" if my OCD didn't hurt so much, I could find such a paradox fascinating.

Hlw ma'am, I'm suffering from OCD since 2013 . Initial 6 years , i didn't know about ERP therapy . My dr. Didn't tell me about it . I was H OCD, sexual thoughts about sister , male in public etc.. in 2019 i listen about ERP then i Google it . And i try to let go thoughts without discussion. I started meditation along with also . Now whenever a thought come then i disregard easily and don't react about that thoughts . My anxiety also go away . But sometimes when i get new thoughts then my anxiety come back for 2-3 days . I'm not functional . Now i got new daily life related thoughts . I try to let go . But as my brain seems block it hurt me also .When i become silent during meditation then i found as my right part of brain is block ,no clarity . although left part of brain is awesome. I found stuck to myself. Whenever i want to focus on study . Then i found my learning ability is very low . I feel stuck as I'm not able to understand. I didn't feel this present moment . I don't care any thoughts but I'm not functional . Anxiety also exist. I'm from India . Please can you tell me about why my right part of brain is block. I can understand it's also a thought. But when i become silent i relize as right part of brain is block. Although i have done my MRI and blood flow in brain test .they were normal. Please give some suggestions. Now i want as i can be functional . I have clarity so that i can think about my goal. I know i have no control upon thoughts but thinking / self talk in my hand .i experienced it . But my brain is block. Please give some suggestions. Thank you. If possible please guide through comment. One time only . Your reply will be a lot for me. Thank you .

Katie, Im afraid I’m at the point of no return. The last 6 weeks have been hell for me. All my intrusive thoughts are about my child and they are awful. I’m starting therapy but I truly feel like I’ve lost my mind. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be having the fears that I have. I’m to the point now where it isn’t even the initial thought that worries me it’s the fear that the thought will stick that sends me into panic. I’m spiraling more everyday.

Just pleaaaaase try not pay much attention to them, even if you can’t get rid of the thoughts completely, remember that our brain thinks all day everyday, but try and remember it’s up to us how we react to those thoughts, believe me I have OCD about a different reason but you can choose how you want to respond to it, remember that the thoughts ARE NOT real, it’s just our brains twisted up in a fear that keeps repeating, have you ever had thoughts and then forgot about them? You can do it man I believe in you so much, I pray for you and you’re child to live healthy lives.

Hope the therapy is going well. Great advice and support from isaiahmiller - it's common to have fears about the thoughts - ideas of not being able to cope with them, that they will get stuck forever etc. You can test out these fears by doing ERP and having MORE of the thoughts - using a recording of your feared thoughts and playing it on loop is one simple and effective way to do this.

But thoughts like,"Oh no, what if, the words I said last time, caused A or B suffering depression!! What can I do now? How can I forgive myself? How can I help them now!" are really sticky thoughts. They keep torturing the brain too ruthlessly and it feels immoral to disregard them.
@23katied
@23katied Жыл бұрын
Yes this is how OCD gets you to keep paying attention to it because you have this idea that it would be immoral to ignore the thoughts. THerefore if you ignore them you feel uncomfortable/guilty/anxious etc and then are likely to misinterpret this bad feeling as a sign that you have done something wrong rather than a sign of discomfort at not obeying the ocd. THe more your practice not engaging with the thoughts the better you get at withstanding this feeling and eventually your mind realises you don't need to feel those feelings. But it takes time and practice. Hopefully some of the other videos might help guide you.

Hi Katie, thank you for your wonderful help. I just wanted to know that how to come out of thoughts that make associations of activities with past basically what is called online 'Magical Thinking'. For e.g., I use to love wearing a watch but once my Dad fell very ill and it was set in my mind that whenever I wear a watch something would go wrong and mostly it did. I left wearing a watch from past so many years. This particular association increased daily, and I left so many things I loved. Even certain foods I left to avoid anything wrong happening to anyone. Please help me. Thank you.

It is not always the case. Analysis can be helpful as it is often the only way that such unreasonable, but justifiable thoughts can ever hope to be reasoned on, and disarmed, even though the agony of reasoning on the thought is also an act of confirming it exists. Therefore You cannot answer this question with a negative or inaction course of resolution. So powerful is the mind that it can even refer non related sensations of the body to mimic the trigger area of the obsession.
@23katied
@23katied Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately reasoning doesn't work in the long term. It can work to provide relief or reassurance in the short term but this will fade and you will need to re-reason. For many people with OCD they already know that the thoughts are unreasonable but it's a case of wanting to be 100% sure and not wanting to take the risk of treating the thoughts as if they are unreasonable. The easiest way to know that analysis doesn't work in the long term is that if it did the problem would be solved!

@@23katied well I take your point, but analysis does not require examination of the thought, but why it exists. I am not trying to confuse or refute your statement, or to indulge in semantics, but to ignore it can shut down an avenue of release through understanding. The mind is capable of manufacturing stimulus in a similar way that referred pain such as in the case of amputees can render unendurable pain in a limb that no longer exists. I don’t wish to validate my argument through relating my experience of this dreadful lifelong affliction, but simply to say that by considering referred stimulation in triggering obsessive rituals can result in reasoning on what is generally an inability to reason. If reasoning (analysis) is rejected in understanding the greater issue of what stimulates OCD then those critical seconds on formation of response can be weakened and the cycle continues unabated. Thus the argument for cause and effect, diversion, distraction and memory. As I said, I do not in the least wish to criticise in the least, your most helpful channel. I simply wish to say, from 65 years of experience since I had my first symptoms that analysis is a useful component in trying to find relief and not to dismiss it for its faults. Better to explain the pitfalls of analysis than to hinder an avenue of relief when all else fails. Understanding Referral of “ticks” that can ignite repetition processes can help in those desperate episodes on the edge of madness. 👍

Hi Katie, I’m in the process of going to a residential clinic shortly as my situation has worsened and left me crippled. Something has haunted me ever since we spoke a year ago is when you said you had someone with sexual orientation ocd and feared been gay and actually realised they were Gay. This has left me crippled everyday to say the least but can I ask a couple of questions as my therapist says that ocd people are unlikely to be the thing they fear and sent me this caption recently. But the truth is that people with OCD are the least likely to act on their sexual obsessions because they’re actually repulsed and disgusted by their own thoughts. Someone with HOCD is not in denial or having a sexual identity crisis and not actually expressing any same sex attraction. So as you can see from the above and has left me so confused for some time when you said you had a patient who has hocd/SOCD and realised they were Gay. My question are: Have I got this wrong from day one and you can have HOcD and realise you are Gay at the end of therapy? As my therapist said this doesn’t happen Why are my therapists telling me that hocd means someone isn’t gay? If your patient have HOcD and realised he was Gay at the end then OCD intrusive thoughts can actually have meaning behind them and it ocd can actually be attraction and denial. So have all my therapists and advice be wrong and this hocd of mine could mean I am Gay. It’s just if therapists are telling me it means I am not Gay or bisexual then you are saying you had a patient who had Hocd and realised they are Gay then am I being told the wrong things. This is what me and my family are struggling with This is what’s really confusing me and leave by me struggling so much. Would be great to hear from you just so I am understanding. 😥

Hi! Is it normal to get triggered by seeing someone or something that triggers your intrusive thoughts? Even when you don’t get an intrusive thought first, but you get triggered by just seeing them because your mind knows that it’s going to trigger a negative thought. Sometimes the intrusive thought come second, but I get triggered first seeing the person or situation. And if this is normal, does this go away too? with exposure therapy when you stop fearing the intrusive thoughts themselves, Does it stop triggering you seeing that person/people or situations that caused the intrusive thoughts in the first place. I’d be REALLY grateful if you could answer this too

Now I didn’t relate to any of the symptoms at all when I read them (but reading symptoms online is a classic mistake one hypochondriac can make) but the next day my hypochondria was back asking for more reassurance- and what I did was I looked at one symptom like “hostility” and tried reading an example of what sort of hostility do bipolar or schizophrenic people feel - after I read the example that they feel like everyone is against them, trying be against them, even their parents and random people in the world; the thought of this really scared me and then immediately after this my mum stepped into my room and because of what I had read, an intrusive thought that “my mum has come to the room to do something bad to me” came and even tho I knew it wasn’t true and it was just an intrusive thought because of what I had just read; the thought why I had this thought really triggered and frightened me. And the more I tried to stop it, the more it came back. I started having hostility intrusive thoughts whenever I saw someone because of the symptoms I read. Now even tho I didn’t believe in any of these thoughts because they were just my OCD intrusive thoughts but it still triggered me a lot to have these thoughts. I constantly kept on fighting them and replacing them with positive thoughts but they kept coming back. I committed another mistake 2 days back- which was read online what other types of OCD people have- and there is when I ready about OCD intrusive thoughts about harming their family members and other people. At this point after reading this another intrusive thought came into my mind that I’m carrying a knife and I was going to or have stabbed my sister and parents. And this thought triggered me a lot more. The more I tried to get rid of this thought, the more it came back. It’s been 10-11 days since I’ve been having these thoughts and getting really distressed because of these because I REALLY love my parents and my sister and they really love and support me. Having these thoughts about them is very distressing. I came across your videos 2 days back, the same day I had the harm instrusive thoughts and it gave me a lot of clarity. Since yesterday I’ve been practice the exposure therapy by making a voice note of my thoughts and listening to them on repeat. I just want to know on how to keep yourself positive during these troubling times, Since you can’t replace these distressing intrusive thoughts with positive ones to make yourself happy and each time I think of a positive thought, it feels like I’m cheating on my exposure therapy and I’m trying to replace negative thoughts which have been constant. Please tell me a way to keep myself positive and happy while treating my intrusive OCD thoughts with exposure therapy because since yesterday I haven’t been replacing these negative thoughts with anything positive and it’s really saddening

That's what OCD is telling you would do. Just talk it out and don't re-focus on what you did. And keep talking "nonsense" that your OCD is having you fear about
