OCD Recovery - My Journey To Recovery From OCD

[@indianajosephine4881]

Amen praise GOD! What's impossible with man is possible with GOD!!

[@nayp.5603]

This is very inspirational! I am currently dealing with suicidal obsessions, and it feels so damn impossible to overcome, but I know I will one day.

[@carriecanfield218]

Keep fighting....

[@saritathespanishgouza4884]

Of course you will!❤️ Hang in there because those are just what I like to call artificial thoughts.

How are you now my brother

[@Mavericknmaddie]

I too have suffered from OCD since I was a teenager. It hit me out of the blue. That was over 45 years ago. I thought that something bad would happen to my family if I didn't do these rituals. I would have to pray a certain prayer over and over. It has taken many different themes over the years. Contamination, counting, checking and so on. I sort of lived a very happy life and learned to not care if I had to do the things. Four years ago, everything changed when I started having panic attacks and anxiety. It wasn't until then that I found out that OCD is anxiety. I fight daily with intrusive thoughts. They scare me. I would not wish this on anyone. Thanks for the videos, they help so much.

Darla Gosnell it’s the opposite for me anxiety and panic attacks hit me before the ocd did

[@lesalejandraa6440]

He is right the answer is to face your fears! Be brave you will recover 💗

[@Nikki-qi4ki]

Thank you for sharing your story and talking about this important topic. I deal with OCD too and it has been the main drive for me getting my psychology degree so I can help others with OCD. Thank you for all that you do!

[@calebbaker6423]

Nikki same, this is why I think that everything happens for a reason, and I want to help others who struggle with ocd.

[@lalumierehuguenote]

Praise the Lord ! I also have similar issues. And facing my fears with ERP atm. Its very hard indeed. Please pray for me

[@CrisC99]

How is it going? Are you better?

[@lalumierehuguenote]

@@CrisC99 hey. well I have made progress. I am actually happy about that. But there is still some obstacles and it is hard. Sometimes I feel like I have done enough to live normally. but that's not true.. But it's hard to go further. Thanks for checking up on me :)

[@humbertorangel19881]

La Lumière Huguenote how are you doing ? Do you feel any better ?

[@lalumierehuguenote]

@@humbertorangel19881 Hey dear sir, well there has been progress in some areas, and not in others. I would say I am doing better. But I am still holding on to a desire for certainty and things "the right way", it is hard to let go, and accept the feelings that bother me if I don't do the rituals. But for certain things I don't feel the need to go the compulsions or I decreased them quite substantially. I know I will have to come to full acceptance, but I keep postponing... TL;DR I have made progress that easy my life quite a bit, but there are still challenges that I don't feel ready to face. How about you, what'sup ?

[@starletdawn6624]

I appreciate you so much! Our stories are so similar it feels great to know we aren’t alone. Thank you for your story, Great job for your hard work, it’s not easy at all. The fact you got healthy enough to help others like myself with extreme O.c.d is beyond a blessing. Anyone reading this struggling from this disorder know you’re not alone! I’ve been there, keep on going don’t give into it and give up. You HAVE the strength. 💞✝️

[@restoredminds]

Thank you very much! You are spot on!

[@Arko_Bhattacharyya]

I'm feeling positive. I can overcome this as they are just thoughts and if they hang on, they can as it's mind's one of all properties. I need to ignore as they are thoughts and haven't any real proof that horrify me.

Thank you so much for this video, I have been suffering with ocd intrusive thinking for over three years and your videos have helped me to understand what is going on with my brain, I have been looking for a therapist that specializes in ocd because regular therapy has not worked for me. How can I become one of your clients to get treatment and finally become at peace with these thoughts??

[@adriancurte4492]

Is so hard for me sometime. By a while I have the thought that I dont want to escape the intrusive thoughts, that something bad will happend to me, a thought like I dont want to be good😐My intrusive thoughts in generaly are about myself, the way I think and act. When i feel a reliefe or peace and calm i come with the thought that I want to feel again bad or anxious. Is like I m fighting with myself. Does anyone ever had these thoughts?

What are some of the best medications that worked for you for your OCD

[@Lorenzo_Marchetti4537]

Hey Matt I’ve been struggling with anxiety ocd for a while now. I’ve been struggling with the thought that even if I take steps toward recovery that this will still be a lifelong illness and how much could it really get better. This thought consumes me because everywhere I look it says ocd anxiety disorders never go away. In your experience do the thoughts/anxiety fade away over time throughout recovery? Or is this something I will have to accept for the rest of my life 😟. I appreciate the information you provide 😀

[@Anonymous-90]

Don't search for information or read about that, it enhances your obsession. Anyway, they say you can't recover from ocd because they are psychiatrists...and they don't know that some mental deseases can be healed through psychotherapy or different techniques, as mindfulness. Don't listen to them. Practice what is explained on this channel.

[@melissacook6083]

Im having the exact same fears, Did your anxiety/ocd get better?

[@sokuskan]

I do not think you recovery completely brother :D

[@hassebahmad5598]

Hi .....have you seen someone who has left his exams empty due to OCD...my means that is there anyone who have OCD about his studies

[@JasonSmith-me1nh]

Hello, I am struggling with ocd and i have one question for you. Behind my yard there is a tin from beer that i got obsessed that i need to take it and throw it away to rubish bin. Of course as a person with ocd i started to fight with this thought.... I am sure you know what i did. For example i have started to ruminate about this, i have told myself that i dont need to to this. I have started to judge my thought. And here i am.. of course it has become even worse. And i ask you for advice. What should i do? Leave this tin till end of my days and dont care what will happen with this. Because now i have urge to throw this away or should i just throw this to rubbish bin, but i am scared that if i do this i will close the loop. You know feel relief and then my brain will send me more of this kind obsessions for react, control this thought and then release dopamine... that how to close the loop. So here i am with my ocd and ask u for advice. What should i do?

[@prateekgupta7215]

I suggest u see a therapist who offers erp as treatment. U will be told to face ur fears and avoid doing compulsions. A good therapist will recognize ur source of obsessions and also recognize the compulsions u do. Eventually ocd will go down .Hope that helps consult a good therapist who offers erp.

[@thirdrevoj683]

I often do rationalise or ruminate with my thoughts... What should I do then? Should I just observe them or what
