OCD is ruining my life.

[@Davehans5600]

From experience, and reading Taoist principles, the way to deal with OCD is to not avoid your fear, not fight your fear, but to simply let it be. The more you try to dominate or control OCD (or any situation in your life for that matter), the more resistance you create. Accept "failure", accept being a "loser", and you'll probably find that with time, it stops mattering so much.

[@Ronihot2]

Thats very good advise. I just like to break down how to embody that acceptances for anyone who is struggling. If you for example experience a moment, ‘if I don’t…i will die/my family will die’. Imagine you actually dieing, how does it feel, feel it in your body, continue to feel it deeply, stay with that feeling until your body relaxes into it. Any emotion that comes up allow it, if you feel like screaming or crying allow yourself to fully scream/cry.

[@Davehans5600]

@@Ronihot2 Spot on. it's very unpleasant and difficult to do, but you feel much better afterwards. Your mind and body often adapt to uncomfortable situations. You could even compare it to the body becoming fitter and stronger due to exposure to exercise.

Hey man I understand what you are going thru, I myself have ocd and very bad anxiety, and have had all types of crazy thoughts and feelings, some extremely dark and some extremely annoying, I hope you are doing better since this video is a year old but if you are still feeling the same let me tell you that life is so fucking precious, no matter how we feel right now or next week or next year, there is something special about our existence and in my opinion the best to deal with ocd is to both accept how your mind works and trust your heart, we humans overcomplicate things, when love is the obvious answer to everything. Sorry for my bad English I am not a native speaker, just want the best for you man

One of my favourite comments! Thanks for this, I recently posted an update video on my OCD.

[@michaelabrown737]

So sorry to hear that you struggle with OCD. I have OCD myself and it’s so brutal and isolating. We can overcome this. Sending lots of love

[@BrickRunner48]

Don’t worry, you’re not alone! I know the symptoms you are feeling and I have felt them before as well. OCD sucks and I am currently attempting to overcome severe OCD myself right now. Stay positive and you will get there!💪👍

[@aluf2567]

Hauntingly splendid video. I have a comorbidity of ADHD-OCD, and it's brutal. Like what was demonstrated in the video, I thought my OCD went away, even for years. But then I got into my first ever relationship with my last girlfriend, and the brutal hell of ROCD came into full swing and I wasn't ready for it. Now that I've learned more about OCD, I also found out that it's always been there for years but more so in a mental prison form with mental rumination and compulsions than the classic numbers, checking, etc. Thanks for sharing!

it's so sad to hear that for me u also have that 😢 i also have thought OCD but i also try to live a happy life. Stay strong ma man ❤

[@ashutoshsaikia6883]

I am on the same way sir , i know what you are feeling , i know that guilt , that fear , that shame , that questions to yourself and that think of future and ruined present ! Hope you recover , hope i recover , hope everyone does ❤ you are not alone

[@jakeyboy7779]

WOW… thank you for sharing this content sir. The line that was most powerful to me was, “I live in my mind more than reality.” I can fully assure you aren’t alone, I struggle with this and so many others to do too… we gotta remember that God loves us all so much and that there is ALWAYS endless hope waiting for us even when everything feels incredibly dark. To you and to all those struggling: let’s get through this and choose to accept uncertainty everyday! A great resource for me has been the KZbin channel “OCD and anxiety,” as well as “NOCD” and “OCD Recovery”

I was diagnosed with ocd four years back and as it can't be cured completely believe me that u will get over it someday. I had many sessions of cbt followed by flunil 20 tablets. It was the worst phase of my life 😢Always thinking that I won't make out of it but I did, we are much stronger that our ocd😊Get a good psychiatrist, it really helps and also someone from ur family or friends who can support u in controlling ur ocd repetitions Believe in yourself ❤

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I've got OCD. I was diagnosed in 2015. Find a therapist that you trust. It took me a very long time in therapy to improve. Be honest, take responsibility for yourself. You can beat it. A lot of people improve with treatment. I also recommend Prozac, I think it's the best medication for OCD (high dose). Try finding the emotional scars that caused you to develop OCD. For me it was having evil Dad and step dad who I couldn't kill but could obsess over. I still fall into obsession sometimes and pace the house for 20km a day but life is good finally.

[@kelleydoes]

Hang in there, Adam. OCD is a nightmare I wouldn’t will on anyone. I also struggle with moral scrupulosity, playing every interaction I have with others over and over and ruminating on my “mistakes.” Earlier last year, I was diagnosed bipolar ii and I went through a phase of feeling like emotions weren’t real, just a product of brain chemicals. When I was diagnosed with OCD, I went through a similar cycle but with my thoughts. Nothing that comes from my brain feels real, just a product of chemicals I have to regulate with medication. It’s a frustrating feeling to have, but the alternative without the medication is not an option for me. There are resources out there if you can access them. I hear ERP is amazing, but I am honestly nervous to seek it out (avoidance is a major compulsion of mine). I hope you are able to find some relief soon 💕

[@chemicalcube2479]

[@hiromi_higuruma]

I got diagnosed with OCD due to my insomnia, but I've never sought help for it after that. The OCD we have are demons that follow us, and I often believe this is a supernatural phenomenon. We never did anything to deserve it, but rather, I believe they are sent by an evil force designed to destroy us because we carry too much good in us that can change the world, and demons are scared of this. I suffered from harm OCD, a more taboo part of it specifically, and it got triggered from watching too many true crime videos. It was severe in October, but as the months passed, it slowly died down. I don't want to describe the details too much of my intrusive thoughts, but long story short, it often involved disturbing crimes related to harming others. I'm so much better now, but yeah. You are not your thoughts. I am not my thoughts. I am not my doubts. You are not your doubts. You are not the things it accuses you of being. This is important to remember: OCD is a liar. OCD is a coward. It latches on to topics, people, and subjects we care about. OCD is a demon that wants to make you believe its lies, because it's too weak to ever stand on its own in the light. If you drag it to the holy and purifying light, it cannot exist.

CMT (compassionate mind training) was revolutionary for me and far more kinder and logical than erp. Give it a go. Wishing you all the best 👍 you've got this 👍

[@appleitree]

What is that

[@come.tothinkoffit]

@appleitree hey! I might make a video about them would that interest you? Basically CMT is all about compassion and learning that we have tricky brains made even trickier by past experiences. ERP is exposure response prevention primarily used in cognitive behavioural therapy where you exposure yourself gradually to your fear or obsession to overcome it.

my life also ruined by ocd. its just like u. its not typical ocd like like cleaning. my thoughts just repeating. every night i take 3-4 hours to fall asleep. my thoughts start repeating aboit past. thinking about future, about problems. n its the same thing every night even if i dont want to think about it its keep coming. i also need to fight though i i hate. its just come. everyting is repeating. when i walking sometime i need to walk backwar follow my step. i need to sit in specific way. i need ti do thing at least 2 times. 4 times ir 2 times is not enough n it goes to 8 n 16 times is the worse. im very quiet person. just to talk i afraid i will said something embarrassing. somtime make other hurt. yea. i dont have any friend. i just dont know wht to do. i just want to live normal like other person. i dont know day when i will feel happy with my life will come or not. ite feel so hard. n im still trying to do my best. im not give out. just i dont see the way. im trying for 15 years. but im still at the same place.

[@CuriousVisuals]

Can I give you some advice on what’s helped me recently with OCD. Being more in the moment. Whenever I start obsessing on a thought, I look around and try to notice 2 things I’ve never noticed before. This helps keep me in the moment. When you get the urge to do things 2,4,6,8,16 times, resist it and don’t do it. Overtime, your brain will learn to not give in. Time will help you get better, good luck and stay strong!

My story🥲🥲

[@ahkey7706]

It's been 10 years. I hope I can just get used to the urge of all intrusive thought. Doing Erp without certain situations like in the course of exam is not that helpful. Also, I fear unnatural postures would bring my limbs or other parts of my body permanent damage. But when I overcame an unnatural posture, there are always many other rather specific or hard to replicate posture that I can't do erp on. And I would just easily imagine many more. So, I think erp is not for everyone.

[@sharendravarmanbalakrisnan2307]

The subtle way of pushing thought for only having a puritan mind could be a practice to get stucked in the cycle. Ego wants only good thought we have already fixated that this is what should be. Kind of a controller. A problem when we say i rule my life. Then it's a problem when it doesn't happen in God way

[@SadGirl1-j5m]

Try praying for healing from Jesus ask for forgiveness for the things you did to others. And accept forgiveness immediately don’t overthinking it. 1 John 1:9. Read believe it in your heart. That’s it you’ll see a change.
