Getting Rid of OCD Patterns!

[@molpolkristine]

i think what she is saying is dont push back against the thoughts. just let them be. but its also important not to do the rituals.the golden rule is it's not what you think but what you do that makes all the diffrents

[@doctorjodi]

Yep! I explain it better here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OQXmqEetB8ja8

[@hg77777]

Yes you're totally right, because the most important tip to get rid of it is not to engage on the rituals which are the ones that give OCD power.

[@JasmineRossol]

I started bawling when you said "it takes it away." I've been struggling with OCD since I was a born. My mom would have to fix things for me until they were right as per the directions I gave her by pointing from my crib as a baby. As I grew up it kept getting worse and worse. Every second of every single day I'm continuously counting and repeating phrases in my head or rotating my left arm over and over. At one point I even stopped breathing because I felt I had to exhale properly before I could take in my next breath. I can't wait to try this out because this OCD is so unbearable at times. Glad I found others on the internet who feel my pain as well because other people don't seem to understand the struggle.

[@Zielae]

Jasmine Rossol I can relate to you in so many ways! I do the same thing when it comes to breathing. It's drives me insane. It's good to hear that I'm not alone.

[@cheikhhmayadi9205]

Jasmine Rossol of course other people don't seem to understand our struggle with OCD and when we tell them that they think that we are responsible for these bad thoughts but we indeed can't stop our thoughts

[@JetInAJar]

Ya!

[@MetaITurtle]

OCD does go away and fades. It takes time though. But it can be done

[@TheMJKnight]

Jasmine Rossol I think I've had OCD for as long as I can remember. And hearing everything that Jodi Aman said in this video were things I've done and still do as an OCD sufferer. I understand completely and you're right. You're not alone. One tip I picked up a while ago is a mental technique called Parallel thinking. When you get a negative thought, you counteract it by telling your brain to do the opposite of what you want it to do. For example: you tell your brain to not think about a pink elephant. And what's the first thought that comes into your head? A Pink elephant. I hope that helps. And what Jodi has said is advice I've heard before where you just let the intrusive thoughts just sit there. You don't give them power, they just get less and less.

[@KeganVanSickle]

I find that if I give in to my OCD compulsions it only makes it way worse.

[@kelvingarcia3871]

same

[@nicolemcginlay8687]

Yes

[@vishizzy]

Just let it rot your brain then you heal

[@doctorjodi]

You would like a copy of my book. It'll help! It's called Anxiety I'm So Done with You! amzn.to/2zudoHZ

[@bowenwangs]

OCD takes over your life. It seems honestly hopeless at times, and it's easy to cling to moments where you weren't as occupied and feel as if you'll never be happy again. But don't worry. Stay positive and keep fighting. OCD won't go away overnight, but it will subside and you can learn to live easily over time. Let's fight this together.

[@nilesreinhardt7915]

I could not agree more.

[@nilesreinhardt7915]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCkgYeoqdF-qK8

[@doctorjodi]

The thoughts are ridicluous. Your birthday and the speech are relatively unrelated. Don't let the anxiety trick you into thinking they are connected. This is just a power tactic. It needs you to believe it. Ask yourself: Why do you believe it? Use your intellegence to realize you have nothing to wrry about and then when the thoughts come distract yourself. Throw yourself into a creative endeavor to keep you busy.

[@phoenixdragonlordgirl8748]

I have really bad ocd wich is very personal and makes you think if you don't do this something will happen to things you care about

[@thereisalwaysarainbowafter1364]

Jodi Aman hey I have OCD bad thoughts and I tell myself to not think about don't ask your mom your just giving in and I keep thinking about more and more till I get a head ach and I don't know what to do!?

[@samv1996]

I have OCD myself and I really relate to all that you are saying! But what works with me is to not give in to all the patterns that I have to do. You say that it is okay to do all the patterns but I think that by trying to not do them it really makes progress to get rid of them. To all the people with OCD I wanna say that it can go away! Even though sometimes it don't feel like it.

[@diamondhuntress]

Yes because many of the patterns ocd wants us to do are compulsions. And we must eliminate compulsions, not give in

[@doctorjodi]

Thanks

[@MathewHarwich]

this just gave me immediate relief wow. I developed several rituals with my breathing and hard eye blinks I could not get myself to stop doing, and it has been driving me crazy. I have never been diagnosed but i have struggled with this most of my life to varying degrees. Just the idea of relaxing as this lady suggested immediately calmed me down and subdued them. Thank you

[@joshhummel1284]

This is terrible advice. If I just obey the OCD, then I will develop the habits even more, making them harder to break. How I tamed my OCD was to treat my OCD as a little tweenager with a shitty Walmart Xbox headset screaming at me to do something; that way, I can develop a feeling of contempt towards my OCD, and, thus, not take it seriously.

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

I do see the risk on this suggestion. But I see also this one is a long fade out to get rid of ocd too. The thing is how long.. But treating the ocd as a yelling kid is one piece of great advice! Wonderful! Thanks!!!

[@kulik03]

I like your idea lol I'll try this from now on lol

[@danielalvarez4414]

Josh Hummel nice

[@vinodkamboj172]

kulik03 how can we obey orders of OCd wat sought of advice is this ?????! plz explain

[@danielalvarez4414]

Dont listen to this shit its bullshit... my ocd is pretty much cured and all i did was keep my self occupied

[@oncall21]

I've had OCD since I was 5 and I was diagnosed at 19. Today I am 52 and despite the huge amount of time and effort and research put into treating my condition with CBT, SSRI/SNRI medication, benzodiazapines, augmentation with neuroleptics such as Risperadal, ACT mindfulness, in patient treatment, etc we have really come no further in better treatment strategies since the 90's. Even Deep Brain Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (which I have tried) are not new and are still only used in trials. It's very sad that a condition as treatment refractory and debilitating as OCD is still not taken serious by the scientific community in comparison to say depression and psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. The personal cost to OCD is a wasted life or a life seriously compromised from living to one's fullest. On top of this the socio economic cost to society is even bigger with people being unable to work, pay tax, etc. The sooner we have effective treatments for all forms of OCD or a cure the sooner the suffering and wasted lives will end.

[@doctorjodi]

people with OCD refuse to be uncomfortable or think they might be even though they are safe and it will be temporary. This is why people keep it so long.

[@Cathrina50]

Im from russia and i have ocd. And in russia no researches has been made on it. Nothing at all. Very little information about ocd you can find on the russian sites. And so much i found on the foreign sites. Thanks god i know a bit of english, while most of the russians dont.

[@Cathrina50]

And in my country psycho problems are really not taking seriously. Its bit of shame you feel when you have them.

[@nobody3888]

Getting rid of ocd pattern = don't fight it, go with it.

[@doctorjodi]

You would get a lot out of my book Anxiety, I'm So Done with You! amzn.to/2zudoHZ

[@mahoneyblake332]

duck everybody who says that it doesn't work. i tried it for a day with everything i have a ocd with. and you know what? it ducking works things that usually took me half an hour, i can now do in 3 minutes just want to say thanks for the advice

[@PMelol]

So you just kept doing your compulsions, and now you don't have them anymore, or they've reduced a lot?

[@doctorjodi]

Peter Melillo Peter, No. Did you watch my other video on OCD kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OQXmqEetB8ja8 It explains it better. Just doing the compulsions is NOT the answer. Read through my answers to others asking the same question AFTER you watch the other video IF you still don't understand. Get more help here: jodiaman.com/work-jodi-aman/.

[@PMelol]

Right, so do the compulsions but don't worry that you're doing them? Like if you try not to do them, you're saying that is not the right thing to do, right? So if I was reading a book and this obsession to go back and reread the sentence so that it "sounds right", I should just go back and do that but say "No big deal, it's okay to do this." That's what's you're saying as far as I understand?

[@doctorjodi]

Sort of. Don't try to figure out whether to DO them or not. Just stop hating yourself for feeling compelled to do them. Stop being annoying or shameful for doing them. By asking me, you are still worrying about them. THIS, and getting what I am saying right is becoming another obsession. You are thinking too hard. Just play with it and see what works. There is no right or wrong here. Just get rid of guilt that you may be wrong.

[@nourinhossain7229]

Jodi Aman my mum has OCD everyday THE OCD BOTHERS HER!! I FELL SAD FOR HER I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME MY MUM STARTS WORKING 15 HOURS A DAY SEE ISN'T HEALTHY ME AND MY FAMILY TELL HER TO STOP BUT SHE NEVER STOPS IT!!! PLEASE HELP!!

[@grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr2052]

Very inspiring, Im going to try this approach. I'm just a little woried about what you're saying in the end because honestly, Im almost 21 struggling with OCD and my life would probably be a lot easier if I had gotten help 10 years ago. I've been in therapy for several years but my patterns have manifested a lot over time, even though I am making progress. Fighting my mental disease takes literally almost all my time and energy, early intervention could have prevented this.

[@doctorjodi]

[@MrAug80]

I suffered with terrible thoughts and worries in my head when I was a teenager. I didn’t understand what I had until fairly recently from watching KZbin and doing research on the internet. I used to read papers and watch the depressing stories on the news and think I would go on to commit some of the horrible crimes I would see mentioned. I know I would never do any of those things. I’m a good person and I have never done harm to anybody. At the time I just couldn’t stop the thoughts coming into my head though. I took terrible panic attacks.

[@austinthenarwhaltamer4532]

Thanks so much! OCD has been taking over my life for years and now I watched this and used the tips, it's starting to to away slowly! Thank you

[@doctorjodi]

You are so welcome!

[@TheMJKnight]

Jodi Aman, thank you. As someone who has suffered with OCD for most of my life, it's comforting to know there is advice from supportive people like yourself who know how to understand and help people. I appreciate the advice. Thank you very much

[@rosebudvlogs1205]

Thanks for sharing this, I’ll give this a try and hopefully it will help. The thing is, I don’t think that any of my family believes I have this kind of OCD. But I understand, because they haven’t had OCD and it’s hard to imagine what it’s really like and to feel like you HAVE to touch the door knob 4 times before you can leave or something bad will happen. Anyway, I’ll hope this works. Thanks.:)

[@doctorjodi]

[@musaralhami8474]

Dear Jodi, I have suffered from OCD for 10 years, and I didn't expect that you would solve my problem completely. I used medications and went to many psychiatrists, and nothing helped. Your 5 minute video changed my whole life. I was thinking about quitting my job, and all of a sudden, I started to look for administrative work and be higher and higher in my career. Thank you so much for this memorable help. You helped someone beyond the oceans after years of despair and failure. Let me explain how this happened. I have eye contact OCD for 10 years, and this is one of the horrible diseases you would ever imagine. Please those who do not have it, do not say anything about it until you go through it because it coincides with all aspects of your social life (work, family, etc). You will be a big loser! I started to withdraw from the community and I started to hate meeting people. Now, I am happy to meet with them for any period of time. Once I started Jodi's strategy, I noticed a huge progress in a few days. So wonderful. I am still hearing her saying "it is amazing", and I couldn't believe her until I found the truth. It is really amazing. During these days, I failed terribly in one conversation and sweated, but I resisted and said: remember what Jodi says: no anxiety, be excited about yourself; let them say whatever they say about you. I noticed that other partners are getting nervous with me too, because I got out of control; they really noticed that I am not OK but I resisted again and again. I didn't want to surrender. I started to laugh at them being clumsy and being afraid of me lol while saying to myself: I am ok with this, let them say whatever about me, but I am happy about myself. You can call me names and whatsoever. I do not care. I swear after a few seconds, the conversation suddenly took a new course of confidence and strength to the degree that I asked the other partner to keep talking rather than going. I became totally normal, and even the partners stopped looking at me as abnormal. I noticed that clearly. This is a proof of success. In the past, I was hoping that they go, but at that time I wanted them to stay more and more. What a great change that I have never had in 10 years. Now, I do not want to see other solutions or videos about OCD but the video above. I am not promoting anything, but I swear I reached the solution. There are many solutions, but Jodi's solution solved mine, and for this reason, I am very grateful to her. I didn't even read the comments below, because I do not want to read that people cast doubt on this helpful strategy and get back to this OCD, because it completely works for me. But let me convince others how this happened to help people understand how effective it is. I am part of you and I want to help you too after I got helped, so read carefully. OCD consists of three stages: obsessions (obsessive ideas) ==> anxiety (fear) ==> compulsions (obligatory behaviors) and the cycle goes on and on. I realized that my obsessive ideas/thoughts are not special with me, I noticed that normal people are thinking about them, too (that is the first discovery: I am normal like them). I also realized that my actions are done by normal people too, not special with me (another wonderful discovery). Yet, I realized that anxiety is the only thing I have that normal people do not have (this is the first realization that I am ABNORMAL). I found that anxiety is the link that I have alone. I am so anxious and nervous about the ideas, I am afraid of judgement, afraid of rejection, afraid of shame and guilt, afraid of being let alone, afraid of being judged as bad, afraid of being unwanted, clumsy, worth laughing at etc. I then reached the conclusion that if I overcome this anxiety, the link between "obsessive ideas/thoughts" and "compulsory behaviors" shown about will be broken. If this link is really broken, then, I will think about the same ideas like normal people, but I will never be anxious to do actions repetitively. After I saw this video, now, I do not care about what other people say about me. I am not worried, and I feel much better and better in my entire life. What a big jump I made, and what a relief I have. This OCD is totally gone. In fact, I started to say: I do not have OCD (although I am diagnosed with it), but I have anxiety. Anxiety is the whole problem and fear of others' judgement. Trust me, no cure will be helpful if you cannot overcome this anxiety, and do not say that my type of OCD is different, because we all share the same problem: anxiety. Let other say whatever they say about you, but be happy and excited about what you are doing and do not feel your actions are wrong. Laugh at people who reacted negatively with you so much and say "it is ok, do not be afraid, what I am doing is fantastic lol". This shameful feeling is the obstacle for all OCD people. If you cannot get over this, maybe no progress will be felt which is the ugly truth. If you are behaving carzily once the idea is coming, this is the anxiety not the idea. Without anxiety you will be relaxed. I am part of your community, I really know that it will be so hard for you to know that people are judging you badly, but over time, you will realize that this hardness is the start of hope and cure. I had a10 year suffering and was fearful of my OCD, and now it is totally gone. Thank you Jodi for this, and I am mentioning your name because you made a great impact on my terrible life even if people are negative with you, you taught us to accept ourselves. I wrote this long essay because I got the solution, and I realized how many people are suffering and waiting for people to help and I wanted to help them too. The first days, they will be hard on you, you might need days or weeks, but eventually you will be normal. Once I said to myself: Will I really be back to normal again? Is this possible? I had no hope. I didn't realize that it is totally possible if this anxiety is gone. You will behave automatically as a normal person. Abnormality is associated with anxiety. Again, it will be hard on you to listen to your whispering self saying: people are now judging you badly. You are being bad, what is wrong with you? come one! get out of here, be nervous and get lost!! It is really hard to accept this process, but once you accept it, you have no OCD at all, that's the truth and nobody can judge you any longer later on in your life because you will never need to act abnormally. You will be totally fine because you have no abnormal actions to be judged on. I swear I wrote this long essay just for you so please do not say anything about me or so and so, or you can say it because I really do not f**king care. I hated my life because of this fear. Your judgement of me is now much easier in my life to tackle than having OCD. Life is short.

[@doctorjodi]

Thank you!

[@stephenmarkelov1829]

No, the 1% of us who actually do have severe OCD this is a load of crap

[@justsomeguywithouthair6222]

I have OCD for having OCD.

[@almedinkrlic8405]

Just Some Guy Without Hair yessss. Ever since i did more research on it, I felt like it got worse

[@doctorjodi]

That does happen

[@yulia7191]

I think this video is important. I feel like a lot of therapists and people on KZbin with similar videos see the person with OCD as having a behavioral problem, which is judgemental. People with OCD don't behave incorrectly. They are responding to more frequent firing of danger signals in the brain that trigger fight, flight, or freeze responses in a way that any other person would in their situation. I think treating people with OCD with compassion is really really important. We have to deal with really difficult situations just like people with depression or other disorders or trauma, even if it's in a different way. Having compassion and understanding how difficult it is is what will get people with OCD to do the at first difficult work of overcoming OCD, not saying they have to be more "brave" or just "stop giving the thoughts meaning" as if the thoughts are just some simple thing we are doing something wrong with and are not overwhelmingly scary. I started reading the self-help book "The Self-Compassion Workbook for OCD" and it talks about similar things to what you mention in this video and another video about having compassion for yourself and not having shame about your actions. It made me realize I'm sabotaging my own work to fight OCD because I'll be giving into what my old therapist wanted who I felt didn't fully understand how bad my OCD was and who I felt thought I wasn't brave enough to fight it but what I needed from a therapist alongside CBT was to be heard. The book says it's not okay to judge a person with OCD or think they're weak or doing something wrong. People with OCD are some of the strongest people, especially those actively struggling with it. I'd like to see the same therapists who give off the judgemental vibe try to live with OCD. (Actually, I wouldn't, because I wouldn't even wish it on my enemies.) Obviously in the end doing CBT by avoiding doing the OCD actions and letting the fears pass by you is important and what allows the fears to become less and go away eventually, and people first realizing what they have is OCD who may not know a lot about it would need to be educated on how OCD treatment works. But a lot of people with OCD already know about this and this video just brings up another consideration.

[@doctorjodi]

thank you!

[@141nptt]

This is what I came up with and works 100% Good enough is good enough thing doesn't have to be perfect

[@PMelol]

So you give into your compulsions in order to stop them?

[@doctorjodi]

Peter, You want to take away the energy of the compulsion. Shift it and not be stressed. Watch this where I explain more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OQXmqEetB8ja8

[@DarlingStudent]

Your words hit me and I realized that that's what OCD is. It's just wanting perfection which is impossible. Thanks for that. I'm gonna keep trying.

[@bartosik321]

tldr; she says to do what ocd tells you to do good tip, very good tip Clearly Jodi, you have never expierienced OCD

[@mehmishzahid3274]

There is no other way to handle ocd if u don't what ocd asks you to do but this is what we all ocd patients do n guess what this become worse n worse

[@doctorjodi]

That is not what I'm saying.

[@heather9857]

This is good. I lived with undiagnosed OCD for 35 years and worrying that you are actually having the thoughts is 90% of it. I have to say, in my opinion, this is a better mindset for the intrusive thoughts and not the compulsions. Also, she should become a bit more educated about OCD. You should not say to someone suffering from OCD Harm (or really OCD in general) "Okay, I'll do it!" Because you have no idea what is going on in their mind. It might not be something like taking the second plate, lol. If you suffer from OCD Harm (or Pure OCD) when the terrorizing thoughts come into your mind, take control for a moment. Try saying something like, "Everyone has weird thoughts sometimes, it's not a big deal." Then get back to what you were doing, laundry, going to the bathroom, taking care of a loved one or pet. You're going to panic a number of times doing that, but don't give up. The intrusive thoughts will start feeling like a memory of actually thinking it. Keep going, you can be completely free from OCD. This is a complicated subject and only those who suffer can truly know what a hell it is. If you ever feel alone, know my thoughts and prayers are always with you.

[@doctorjodi]

Thank you for sharing!

[@agnesbwise9534]

This is a 5 year old post. But I like her attitude, this I think is very brain based to me meaning it has much reaction within itself.. the mind is making judgment of how we even deal with our ocd issue. Do not making a big deal , doesn’t alert the mind to something to flight or fight freeze . Important to just relax more with it. Not drawing more attention with the aggressive fix it attitude.

[@doctorjodi]

Glad you enjoyed! I hope you get a lot out of my other videos as well!

[@greenrobot5]

My ocd has to do with not being sure if I just did what I did, I'm sure it has to deal with memory too. Not being sure that the door is locked and come back to check and doubt yourself is the worst feeling of all, then walking out not being sure if the door is wide open has to do with memory issues.

[@PMelol]

You are right bro...thats exactly what i did...and my ocd is much better

[@lizakoshynot4371]

I’m crying rn because I’ve never felt so relieved in my life BLESS THIS VIDEO AND I hope you have a way better life than mine

[@sunshine.c]

Giving in to complusions for me really didn't work well, no matter what attitude I had towards my compulsions. I tried this way of doing it, it really didn't work,it made it much much worse. The ONLY thing that worked was ignoring my compulsions completely, not doing them no matter how hard it was or how it made me feel. It was very very difficult to do that but I did it. I am now at a place where I am rarely triggered or have ocd episodes.

[@eliisam6161]

I had terrible fear of contamination/germs/chemicals ocd since I was a child. One day I literally just said ”enough. you fix this or it’s over for you.” and I stopped EVERYTHING unnecessary and started leaving the house and doing things even when my mind was screaming at me. Now I’m 23 and my ocd is so much better that I can live without being preoccupied by thoughs and compulsions.

[@johnagustinzecua3070]

She's honestly right. This is how I got rid of my OCD before I watched this video.

[@PMelol]

Hey, you got rid of your OCD by giving into compulsions?

[@doctorjodi]

Do think of it as giving in. Think of it as not giving them attention. No guilt. You take away the guilt and they lose their power. And you stop ahving to do them.

[@lindgrenland]

I struggle with semi-mild OCD, that fucks me up a lot but also tends to be *somewhat* managable on my own, and I think the advice given here is pretty good for people like that. What she talks about is pretty much stuff I've realized on my own, after trying really hard to improve. Not sure that goes for someone with really heavy OCD, though. But I'm not entirely sure

[@charlottesimpson1619]

My “rituals” only take place in my house. As soon as I get home stress builds up when I see that my family has caused “mess” causing rearrangement in things I have previously arranged the day before and I feel like I’m in a continuous pattern. However if I don’t do this pattern I feel lazy and unmotivated and start crying over the fact that I let the house get so unorganised. I don’t understand it. But when I let myself do these compulsions, I realise more and more different objects are out of place and start to add more to my “routine”. It ruins my life because I end up accomplishing nothing considering I have to repeat these steps every single day of my life. I don’t have negative thoughts though. I don’t feel like my family is in danger so I’m not even sure if it is considered ocd. My friends and family think it’s all a big joke for attention considering this routine only takes place in my living space (including rooms I am “living” in during a holiday / vacation). I just feel hopeless to control it when if I carry on, I get more stressed. But if I don’t I also get stressed. It’s a continuous loop.

[@doctorjodi]

So get out of your house as much as possible!

[@doctorjodi]

Also jodiaman.com/ocd

[@StefanS-ig2rm]

Indeed, The consequences of OCD are much easier to nullify if you percieve OCD as a midget instead of a dragon. But a real expert on OCD would never advise to act on your compulsions.

[@doctorjodi]

Nor am I. I'm saying forgive your compulsions and you won't have to act. I reshot the video, but this one gets more traffic. Sorry!

[@Mickado]

I’m not sure if this is ocd, but I have to make everything even... if I blink to hard on one eye, I have to blink hard in the other. You know stupid stuff like that... it’s really annoying all the little habits like that.

[@doctorjodi]

yes you don't have to!

[@Zielae]

I'm so glad that so many people can relate to what I am feeling. I have recently been struggling with so many OCD actions and thoughts. For example, I have to hold down the light switch for five seconds until I let it go. If I don't, I have to start over and it gives me anxiety. Another one is if I touch something with my right hand I have to touch it with my left and make it even. If drives me crazy. This video helped a lot, thank you!

I'm searching for ways to help my son and his obsessive hand washing. I think this method could work. To those who say it doesn't work, you are probably right. I think you have to view it in the light of how we go about meditating. You will have distracting thoughts, but you find peace by not pushing at them. Let them be. Allow them their space and they like their power over you. Not everyone will understand this. It would do you well to study how to meditate.

[@daenerys-drah-kah-ris1487]

This may works when it comes to physical behavioural compulsions. But when it is regarding mental compulsions, letting us not holding back from counting numbers and doing other rituals will only make it worse. The more you let count numbers and do rituals in mental compulsions, it wil become lyk a habit, and you can't avoid it. Other things lyk how you said about touching things, if u keep on doing, u may not bother much.

[@doctorjodi]

This may explain it better. If you have no shame for the obsessions, it is easier to stop the compulsions is what I mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OQXmqEetB8ja8&lc=UgzG0FCE8mpnqLqXkiV4AaABAg

[@wuld7915]

Isn't this a short-term fix though? Of course you'll feel less anxious if you just listen to what's compelling you, but it comes back and it will keep coming back because you listened and felt reassured. I'd be walking and then I get this feeling like I have to walk with my hands held above my head to 'expose to embrassment and humility', and I would do this and i'd be okay for a day or so, then it would come back. You've got to let OCD flail and get pissed the fuck off until it leaves for good. I think this is what is best.

You got over your OCD by giving into compulsions?

[@doctorjodi]

Thanks!

[@mchockey3]

Terrible advice. If you have ocd and are watching this video. You are not to give into the compulsion. I have confessional OCD and like any OCD it feeds off that feeling of relief and like a drug it wants more and more of that feeling and will stop at nothing to get it. Once I confess I feel better and then something new comes in to confess. The Cycle never stops. It will never be satisfied. If I did as the video says, I wouldn't have a job, wife, or friends. I would confess right down to not liking the shoe laces your wearing.

[@doctorjodi]

Confession OCD is directly related to guilt. You feel compused to relieve guilt. Take away the guilt and you take away your problem. You didn't get the video. Try this one. I explain better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OQXmqEetB8ja8

[@mchockey3]

+Jodi Aman I still can't relate. I'm 4 years sober and my guilt and shame come from when I was drinking. And my compulsion is to confess it all to my wife, right down to every little detail. I feel I need to do this in hopes of preventing something coming up in the future. Why me telling her or it coming up on its own matters. I don't know. My wife has flat out told me, she does not want to hear it anymore, which has been extremely difficult not getting the reassurance. But my mind is getting better at not finding new stuff or dwelling on what's in there.

[@rachaeluponen1862]

This isn't bad advice, but it's simplistic. It's not like you pick one method and then your OCD goes away forever. It comes back. It changes strategy, changes direction. It's a lifelong struggle, and it has no cure. When people talk about being "cured" of OCD, I think that either 1) they've learned to live with it, 2) they're currently in remission and will suffer a relapse sooner or later, 3) they've learned to suppress their behaviors so that the impulse isn't as strong. To tell people that they can just shrug their shoulders and stop caring is misinformation at best. Also, there are different types of OCD, and this method probably doesn't work for everyone.

It works, I’ve done it a couple of times actually and lasted a couple of days. It obviously wasn’t easy the first day but I was off of work for 2 weeks. So there was nothing to worry (cause yes work is stressful) about that would block or get in the way of my progress. It got easier day by day, very little by very little. Then one day I became afraid to do something and avoided it. In the span on 2-3 days a lot of things became scary to do so I would avoid them. Pretty soon It became overwhelming and I gave in. So I just came to realize that you can’t avoid your fears because that’s also fueling your OCD. Confronting your fears will only make it easier.

I get the thing about not letting it agitate you. But for me, even if I don't let it annoy me, I still feel like I have to do a certain thing. I've heard from someone that it's best to try to not do rituals because its exercising that need to do it. The less you do it the better. Kind of like doing math. If you practice it a lot, you remember how to do it clearly. If not, you forget how to do it. Kind of like rituals. I don't know I wish what you said could work for me. But I dont think it will: (

[@nefertaric.8844]

I watched this video about a week ago and I think it’s really helped me. Mine has gotten worse because I’m in college, I’ve found that stress makes it worse. I felt myself getting bad again and saw this video. What I took from this video was that we should listen to ourselves more, not the ocd. If we want to do something, do it, if we don’t want to, don’t do it. That’s what I’ve been doing & it’s really helped me. So I don’t think she just means to listen to your compulsions, but also yourself. What is it you feel like doing, or not doing? Know your limit & don’t let it keep you in a loop. Know when you’re too tired to do something. Know when something is a bit silly. Know that you will not die or become sick if you don’t do it. For example, sometimes I do things in patterns of 3 or 5, so if I’m really tired that day, my inner voice would tell me I’m too tired to do it, and then instead of doing it 3 times, I’ll just do it twice, instead of 5 times, only 4 times. Only one time less but it still really helps you feel a sense of control again even if it’s a minor difference. You train your brain to learn that it will be okay if you don’t do it how you always do, so I’ve been noticing differences so far

Sorry, but this doesn't get to the core of the problem. I'm not distressed by having to go back through the door I just passed, because I looked at the red painting on the wall while I went through it and now I have to walk through it again, making absolutely sure that I don't look at that painting again - wait, did I look? I'm not 100% sure. I'm 99% sure, but not 100%, I might have missed my eyes wandering over it for a split second, so better repeat again, just to be 100% sure. The fact that I need to do that does not aggravate me, I've got other problems in that moment. I'm distressed, because if I don't "get it right", I know (in my obsessive mind) that I'm gonna die on the way to wherever I might be going at that time. I feel terrified until I complete my ritual successfully, having "safed" myself from dying on the way to the bathroom. Yays for me. That is what OCD does and knowing, or accepting the rituals doesn't take away the panic you experience. I know a number of my compulsive actions. For example, I can't gulp while looking at my finger tips, so when I feel that I have to gulp, I have to make sure instantly that I hide my finger tips from view. That is not a compulsive action that affects me too badly usually, I've pretty much automized it by now and it doesn't bother me at all having to do it. However, I HAVE to do it every single time without fail, if I don't I'm gonna get terribly sick, so if I fail to complete the ritual successfully, I have to repeat it several times, gulping purposefully, making sure from all angles, with one eye closed, then the other that I absolutely can't see my finger tips and if I spot as much as a trace of my nail I have to repeat it again, because the fear, the panic is killing me until I get it right. So, sorry, but I can't see this working with people, who suffer from the compulsive part of the disorder.
