Last year I got into law of attraction teaching and started manifesting things that I wanted in my life , few weeks ago I was affirming/ visualizing when a negative visual came I tried to stop it by force ....thus it became intrusive......now I rarely get them and if they come I do exactly what you talked about in video I acknowledge it I welcome it by saying" thoughts are just thoughts it's a sign that my brain is working fine" 😂 And it goes away without doing any harm or ruining my mood .....

I used to have this horrible intrusive thought about me hurting my brother, and I used to be terrified of it. I was afraid that it was going to come true, and it bothered me for months on end. I’d feel guilty for this thought even crossing my mind, but over time I realized that it didn’t mean anything! I told myself that if I wanted it to happen, then it would have happened by now. I used to be scared to even admit that I was thinking about it, but now i’m ok with talking about it. Because they really don’t matter. If you’re having similar thoughts, know that they are not you. I’ve recovered from that intrusive thought now, and even if it pops in my head now it doesn’t affect me anymore. You shouldn’t dwell on a thought if It doesn’t mean anything. I hope that anyone reading this who is struggling with these particular kinds of intrusive thoughts knows that you are not alone, you are not a bad person, and things will get better with time. One day you’ll be writing these kinds of comments and helping other people❤

When the thought or fear comes, it urges me to do compulsions. And of course, I gain some temporary relief. And of course, it comes back. But there is a moment I realize the fear or thought is so unrealistic, so silly. And at that moment I am a very normal person. Why is that possible, Nate-wise?

Literally the only reason I go back to an intrusive thought is because I don’t wanna leave off on a bad thought. It’s like I have this sense of security knowing I didn’t leave off badly or let that thought win. Example: if I have an image in my mind of me stabbing someone’s hand with a knife I have to counteract that thought with me thinking of a clean unharmed hand and me rubbing it gently or pouring clear water over it ( It symbolizes purity for me) so that I can move on knowing I left off good. Or with the hand unharmed. Because it’s not who I am and I don’t ever wish to do that ever. Its such a strange thing honestly.

I have read that the key to dealing with intrusive thoughts is to desensitise yourself to them (not easy, I know). Let the thought pass through you in a detached manner, like water passing through, and don't respond to it. If you do, you feed it and give it power, which makes it worse. But if you don't, it starves and eventually it becomes just a passing thought.

Intrusive thoughts, along with the anxiety, distress, and my caving into it all, have more or less brought my life to a screeching halt. I've been stuck. I try to shoo them away, argue with them, but I just end up mentally tiring myself out (before inevitably giving in to them!) I've also tried simply ignoring them but these feelings, this distress and anxiety, it's too much. They hit in places that I care and worry about the most and the distress I feel makes me cave and give in to whatever these intrusive thoughts are demanding. How can I ignore these things if I am so weak-willed? For what it's worth, I'm grateful that you put out these videos to help folks like me. Going off of the comments, it looks like a lot of people benefit from your content. I'm happy for them.

this video automatically started playing after another video and oh my gosh it’s exactly what I needed to hear… in your example “ads” you gave my exact intrusive thought and I’ve never heard anyone acknowledge it before. I used to spend hours on Reddit which was full of those types of “ads” (just posts on that topic) and I would spend hours going through them and feeding into those questions making me believe them more and more. Now I worry that I truly do believe them, even though I don’t want to. I have since deleted Reddit but now instead of indulging in the questions, I indulge in finding answers. And while it’s not as stressful as having the questions on my mind 24/7, now if I hear someone question my thought I go back to square one and have to find reassurance all over again. One thing is for sure, your channel has encouraged me to atleast consider therapy again.

My life has been strange when it comes to therapy. I was once diagnosed with OCD, but then I got a new therapist who told me “no you don’t have it, you don’t obsessively clean things” and from then on, I thought it was just anxiety. But it’s gotten worse and I’ve tried dealing with it like it’s anxiety, but it’s not only that. So yeah… there’s a good chance I actually do have OCD because of the types of thoughts I get. Thoughts I get: “What if I jump off this bridge?” “What if I push someone into a truck?” “What if I’m a delusional psychopath who just erases memories from my head?” “What if I sleepwalk and do horrible things?” “What if I’m like those unsubs in criminal minds?” But here’s the thing… I’m not like this at all. I’m super empathetic, possibly too empathetic sometimes… (I feel empathy for bullies and bad people and I try to help them. But it never works) and I love my life and I would never hurt myself. I’m not capable of things like this. But these thoughts make me think I’m a horrible person. And I thought I was just insane and that no one could relate to me. But now I feel like I have people I can relate to!

I always know something really helps when I just start laughing. Like it’s so relatable and true that you just laugh about how dumb you’ve been.

OCD affects almost every part of my life :). It gots me even when i don't notice. I "have to" click on a link that I don't really care or in games I must turn or around 360° without no reason. This is the funny part of it, intrusive thought though makes or could make my life a living hell, but I fight with the demon with choose to no fight with it.

The hard part for me is the physical symptoms which seem to 'encourage' the thoughts. Sometimes I feel the thoughts are fueled by the symptoms. The physical symptoms are powerful, narrowing of my view, heart and breathing rate increased... sometimes my body is well down the road to panic before my thoughts seem to even begin. Thanks for your content!

Thanks so much for your videos. Your work is helping me deal with the constant intrusive thoughts and ocd caused by benzodiazepine cessation. My brain is less sticky from using your methods. You have no idea how thankful I am for you❤

Ads on social media trigger my ocd sometimes & Ill click on them & my ocd flares up in an insane way. This metaphor actually works literally

I have an anxiety. I had a panic attack and after a difficult event I couldn't sleep. Then the next night I couldn't sleep again and again. I started to be afraid of insomnia and nights and I still don't sleep very well. I can stay awake for three days or sleep for an hour at a time. I try to accept it, but the thoughts are much worse. From the beginning of the panic attack, I felt like I was disconnected from myself, I didn't know who I was and how I thought and whether my voice was mine. It's gone, but I still have a fear of intrusive thoughts, I'm afraid that, for example, some fragment of the conversation will remain in my head and of course it will come back as an intrusive thought, and that's what happens. How to deal with it. At night, when I have a panic attack and I don't sleep, these thoughts are so difficult to overcome. I still feel weird in my own house in my own life. I am tired of rationalizing and calming down all the time..
