Love Yourself, what if I am not feeling anything when I am questioning myself, or when I wonder why the thoughts do not give me anxiety? Could it be apathy being on and off?

Kayla Sheppard, I understand, but if the thoughts gave me extreme fear/anxiety three months ago, but little to no fear now (I have been obsessing daily), does it mean that it is not OCD?

@@saikotikvixen2922 I think I know what you mean...if what you mean is, are the same thoughts that gave you significant fear months ago that give you hardly any fear now, are they still OCD? To me, yes. It just sounds like you're able to compartmentalize and the fear isn't as imminent as it was months ago, for whatever reason. But if the thoughts are the same, I would venture to say yes, its OCD. Just lessened fear

It is weird, cause it starts as an idea that I totally laugh off, but then it grows, more details start to appear and then you don't know if its true or not. On top of having OCD I'm super imaginative, since I was a kid everybody mentioned that about me "oh Greg, ur imagination is so crazy/creative". As I grew older, that same imagination turned into a weapon my OCD uses with delight.

I wish I’d watched this a year ago. I didn’t understand what the heck was happening to me. I went from feeling so alive and present to not wanting to do anything but think about things that I thought I’d done in my past. I didn’t understand that my “memories” were just intrusive thoughts. I didn’t understand that watching old tapes of my self as a kid were compulsions. I didn’t think anyone else could ever have the same thoughts I was having. You encouraged me to get help and find therapy because you helped me recognise that what I have is OCD. Thank you ❤️

I'm scared I'm a sexual deviant. I think it's OCD but I'm scared it's not because I've done some perverted things in real life. Most people say it's not that bad but I feel like nobody understands and I've not told people everything. I really really hope it's OCD. I don't wanna hurt anyone or harm anyone. I feel like I've ruined my life and deserve to be locked up and have let everyone in my life down.

Same here - I learned however that any attempt to label thoughts, I.a. distinguishing between 'real' and 'fake' thoughts, is just another compulsion that will reinforce the OCD fear

@alr.3137 4 жыл бұрын
Dealing with OCD for 13 years now, I came to agree with the radical approach of Mark Freeman. Labeling thoughts, feelings, etc. as "real", "fake", "OCD", "non-OCD" etc. is already the start of the ending, I.a. the path down the rabbit hole. Essentially these attempts to label are compulsions in themselves, because one attempts to be certain about and/or neutralize something.

I hope you get some help. The issue is that everyone gets these thoughts, (literally every person on the planet has gone "hmm, maybe I'm not the sexuality I think I am" here and there) but because this is something you fear you have attached anxiety to it, which means you force your brain to dwell on it and check and seek proof that you're straight. But nobody can ever really KNOW what their sexuality is, but you want to date women, so do that. You need to seek a professional who can help you realign your thought process from "Omg I can't be gay I need to check and try to prove this to mysefl!" to "yeah maybe I have some attraction to men on some level, but I don't want to do anything about it. I like girls". All the best to you x

I went to forest and just asked God to take it from me or kill me. So yeah dude, I know what you are going through. My suggestion is to not fight against it to badly. What if you have erection? What if you wanted or enjoyed that thought? Just say: ok I don't care and move on. Talk with people. That really helps. Look! I had this but I am over it, you can write me on Skype if you want. I can help you with this. (v.akos98)

But the thing is for me I’m self diagnosed, and I know that I should get help instead of self diagnosing but I’m 14 and I’m scared people will think I’m a monster if I tell them about my thoughts and I’ve heard that apparently some therapists can misdiagnose so I’m just scared and I don’t know what to do, it’s like I’m stuck , and sometimes I question ‘is this really ocd or is it just me’ because I read online and watch videos of people going through pocd and they have full on panic attacks and avoid leaving the house , but for me I usually just have guilt and I obsess over questions, I have cried over my pocd I think about 3,4 times (I’ve had it for about 10 months) at first it was terrible and I felt extreme guilt now I don’t feel as guilty , and I’ve heard of the backdoor spike thing and it still scares me. Also about 20 minutes ago before I watched this video I was lying in bed and I got thoughts about something and it trigger my pocd and I started obsessing and I was comparing my attraction and it just felt so real and I felt guilt but not as guilt as I should of but then idk I just felt idk how to describe it like dark , maybe it’s because it’s night time and I’m meant to be sleeping and the lights are off , but I got this feeling before , it was like a mix of guilt /shame/darkness idk sometimes I just feel so alone and I want to speak to someone.Also the whole instant gratification thing is so true whenever I feel guilt about my thoughts and start obsessing over them I go online and search to hopefully find someone going through the same thing as me or I search up pocd just to check if it’s my pocd like I need constant reassurance.And another thing is that sometimes my mind is like I like the pocd and it’s like wtf and it feels real but I don’t like it but what if I do and what if I don’t have pocd and it’s just me, and it sucks because I also have extremely low self esteem, I’ve hated myself for the longest time and I always used to cry because of how ugly I was and how much I hated myself , I always try to love myself but it’s hard , especially with pocd because it makes me feel like I don’t even deserve to live , and the part about saying I wish I was someone else, happens to me too, since I have extremely low self esteem I always compare myself to others and I’m like ‘my friends are so much better than me , I wish I was them so I wouldn’t have to go through this’ or ‘I wonder what it’s like to be her , she’s so pretty and she’s such a kind person and I might be capable of being a monster, I wish I was her’ or sometimes my mind will even say I’m a monster. I’m sorry for writing so much , but I just feel stuck and your videos help me so much and they really help me understand what I’m going through a lot more , thank you so much , I now feel less alone ❤️

For the longest time I've suspected that I have OCD, ever since I was about 8, I've been dealing with it and it's been getting progressively worse as I get older, I want to get help, but I'm afraid people won't believe I have it as I've mentioned this to people like psychologists before and they just shrugged it off, but as I've been doing more research, I'm becoming more and more convinced that I have it, it all makes sense, the more I find out about OCD the more I relate to other people who have it and for once I feel like I'm not crazy.

Made of metal I wouldn’t say ocd is a “label”. It’s an actual disorder. And to the person who wrote this, look into an ocd specialist! Regular psychologists or psychiatrists don’t get ocd. Neither do psychoanalysts or anything like that. The reason I say that is just bc a psychoanalyst will try and tell you your thoughts are part of who you are and such. Which they’re not.

I live in Oklahoma and I wishhhh we had a support group. I love my therapy, thank goodness for that one. I have been in therapy since the beginning of the year and I feel like I have got to the point where zoloft has really helped and therapy has shown me ways to say, "Yanno, that does not make sense and I am going to ignore this." Not only with thoughts I get stuck in but also this annoying sensation I was getting on the bottom of my feet. I am in school and the thought came over me, "I am having a hard time because of the medication and I would do better if I just decrease it a little." I knew this thought was OCD. I kneeeew it. After a few weeks, the thoughts started pouring back in. I was having a hard time because school does that. I am compliant with the professionals from now on. Thank you for your bravery and honesty. BIG FAN of your channel. :)

Ohgeez! That sounds awful what you went through. I only take zoloft. The symptoms started before the medication. It rarely happens now and usually when I am stressed. I did not want to take any other medications so that is the only thing my psych prescribed. I have a good team of specialist and feel blessed for that. I was in bad shape at the beginning of the year. The sensations just felt like my feet felt gross. I kept washing them and wearing shoes seemed to help a little. Once I learned it was a compulsion, I overcame it by not washing my feet and telling myself it was ocd and letting it pass. The symptoms decreased considerably.

So to practice erp it’s about letting the thoughts and fears be there and not trying to solve the question and live with the uncertainty. It really doesn’t matter wether it’s ocd. Yes our ocd brains are going to create doubt around wether something is ocd or not so therefore real this time. This time it’s real so oh no. But just use the same tactics of allowing whatever it is to be there and for the possibilities of my fears to be true.

If it looks like, smells like or feels like ocd then it usually is. There is nothing wrong with treating all fears as ocd as far as just allowing them to be there and trying our hardest to move forward with what is in front of me. Using the “this is ocd” to disprove our fears can turn into a compulsion or trying to reassure ourselves that it’s not true which could be seen as a compulsion maybe.

Joker Ski yes you are right. All this labeling and trying to be certain about something is what got us into this mess in the first place.

100%Awesome #1 thats true but im almost 25 and my primary mental disorder since i was 4 years old has been severe ocd in various forms, especially pure O. i didnt know what pure O was til high school when i took psychology and now thats my major..but i just hadnt yet experienced the specific rOcd theme..its just further complicated with this theme bc i have real, complex ptsd..so its not the same as when i had harm OCD..its much harder to fight bc its not having "crazy" thoughts about me stabbing my family (at least not right now), its the constant urges and thoughts to run away from my S.O. ...idk :/ but yes it can be cured..i just have a long way to go

NOBODY hey. It sounds like you have HOCD reallyyyy bad. Exposure therapy isn’t checking. You make yourself read or look at things that’ll trigger your anxiety WITHOUT trying to get rid of the anxiety till it goes away. If you’ve been stressed and been having anxiety so much you’re not gonna feel things for your girlfriend and no you’re not gonna be able to enjoy sex. Especially when you’re doing compulsions and having obsessions. And it sounds like you’re checking a lot to see if you would like men or like to be with one.
