OCD Explained: What I wish I knew earlier

[@ocdandanxiety]

What SPARKED your OCD?

[@xRoRox]

Mine has changed theme so many times over the years that it’s hard to keep up but what sparked it originally was the thought ‘what if I’m a bad person?’ And then it went from there 🥲

[@chandanmishra8226]

Till yesterday, it was my romantic relationship. Today morning, it was due to a black mark I spotted underside my tongue & boom cancer was decided even though I have been beating chances of cancer since I was 20 but as always this time, it can be real & it's certainly real. Sorry if you asked about what sparked it for the first time as I can't really remember. I've been doing compulsions since I didn't even know the spelling

[@ryno_8848]

One of the last things I remember pre OCD was the vacation me and my family took to Disney World. It was about a week or two before I first noticed the OCD maybe that’s one of the reasons I still remember it after all these years.

Me too - I used to get so freaked out and plagued I would literally slap my head in a panic wanting to smack the thoughts out of my head. I'd say I'm 80% healed now. I'll always have OCD but with treatment (and I do all mine solo and at home - no therapist, not that I'm against it, I just didn't), I'm healing much more rapidly that I anticipated. I'd say deep relief happened week by week. It was fast. I just wanted to share in case you needed any encouragement. Prayers for your every blessing and healing.

[@Marijana555-q4o]

​@@natalieerickson5519how did you helped yourself? I have lot of thoughts like bad words about god, pictures from past wgen I done something bad, 1000 of thoughts what if I cheated on my boyfriend, than scenes with ex comes to my mind and ehat if this was while I was in a relationship, my head hurts i want rest

[@natalieerickson5519]

@Marijana555-q4o oh, you poor thing! Truly, I get it! God HAS you, so you HAVE this. He is no respector of persons and He will help you, I know because He helped me. He knows you have a different brain and isn't holding anything against you. Don't let the enemy tell you that...but you'll soon see how to fight. A) you have to know: this will ONLY get better IF you do the work (which I'm sure you're ready for but we get so exhausted in the trauma that it can feel like, 'not another thing...I'm so tired'). If you do these things you'll feel relief soon. If you keep doing them then you will feel better for good...but it is like being an alcoholic and not being able to have one drink, you have OCD and need to do a little work every single day. B) I began with the book Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive thoughts. Get it and read it cover to cover. It begins your journey. C) Subscribe to this channel - there are other good ones too, but keep it easy on yourself: stick with this, watching at least one video that applies to you per day, and the book for a month and follow the advice without variance. OR pick whatever channel you trust most. Katie D'Ath is also amazing...and Traci Marks...I just found another great new one but can't remember her name. D) know this - if you do this it clears up pretty quickly but the first week of ERP and allowing the thoughts to be there is rough. Be easy on yourself - give yourself grace. E) this last one is strange and outside the norm but I am telling you doing it made me aware of what 50-90% of my problems have stemmed from all along: consider doing the Lion Diet (meat, salt, and water only) for a few weeks....again, a little hard in the first few days (weeks for some) but the inflammation we incur with our diets is the reason the US has the highest level of mental health issues. When I did that for my healing, and my husband with me,both of us experienced and immediate drop in anxiety and depression and an increase of happiness to the point of euphoria. Try it and see if it works as well for you but I've never met an unhappy person on this diet. Nothing will ever get me off the diet permanently again (I take a small cheat day every once and awhile because it's better for my balance). Please let me know if younneed anything else. I'm praying for you. Be so blessed in Jesus' name.

That's the most frustrating aspect for me with dealing with OCD. Being bothered by things that before OCD, I would never give a second thought too. But I also try to use that when I am triggered by something. Asking myself, how would I react to this if I didn't have OCD?

[@Indianboy-g7m]

Same with me every time

[@Wisdopia-coolness]

My OCD is so bad that everytime I have a negative thought while watching any video, movie or TV show, I go back a few seconds and restart the scene, to try and watch the scene again but without having any negative thoughts, but it just makes it even worse, and I end up repeating and repeating until I watch the whole scene without any negative thought, to the point is hard for me to finish any video. 😢😢

[@user-db8mk8sw9i]

I can really relate to that. I don't know how many times I've hit the pause button while watching something, so I could "deal with" the intrusive thought before restarting the show. Of course dealing with it means I just did a mental compulsion to relieve the anxiety

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

The best thing to do is just realize you might have negative thoughts while doing anything and just ignore them let them pass by. Why is it bad to you if you do have a “negative thought?”

[@Wisdopia-coolness]

​@@user-hx7mi7ml8u Because it feels so real, way too much anxiety if I don't do something to cope with it and is annoying but it used to be even worse years ago, since the day I learned that what I had is an actual psychological condition called OCD and not just my brain messing with me, I started to reduce my compulsions to stop the anxiety of thinking negative thoughts because they feel so real, but still sometimes I do compulsions, I am doing my best to ignore those negative thoughts.

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

@@Wisdopia-coolness I have ocd too, the best thing is not to do compulsions and just say “I had a negative thought, oh well,” and just keep watching the video amidst your anxiety. If you keep re-starting because of your “fear of a negative thought,” you’ll be stuck giving into fear and compulsions.

[@thal1078]

hi so I'd like to let you know that I have sort of the same thing you have. with me it's I have to read every sort of text in every scene so for example if there is a sign on the wall in the scene of the film I would have to read it perfectly until it sounded right to me. so I would have do the same thing I would reverse the scene and look at it again until it was perfect. god that was tedious if I think about the time back 😂😂 listen I can only tell you response and prevention therapy. which basically I think for you would mean sitting through each scene and taking in the thoughts and not giving them any meaning, so even that thought you have in your head say yes to it. ( am I going to die if I can't do this or am I not normal etc) . for example I would explain these intrusive thoughts like this in my head : I can die from stress, we don't know when we're going to die. am I normal no prob not but who wants to be. say yes to your thoughts that's what I'm trying to say to you or it could be (maybe) like Mr Peterson says.

[@GMJ_Official]

Just hopping on to say I usually watch these videos thinking “man I’m not going to be able to do treatment for this” and as we speak I’m doing a super hard exposure while also enjoying something I WANT to do. I know you’re reading this thinking “great for you, I can’t wait until I can do that” I thought the same thing! You are more capable than you think!

Man, thank you for your videos, i have Pure OCD since my childhood that went out of control for the last three weeks, after i didnt slept for two days, and since then i have problems every day and so much psychosomatic pain, to the degree that i have had panic attacks. It doesnt help that i have this feeling of guilt my whole life, and that im a perfectionist who is always thinking what the other people think about me and who is always analyzing things to the very detail. Its fueled by thinking about the future in a negative way and about the past, doubt, fear, and guilt. Its every day something new, one day its a word, the other day it can be an unsettling picture in my head, its no joke. I never had such a struggle in my own head and feeling that my spirit and confidence are broken. It is like two people are constantly fighting inside of me. Its even harder now, because i have a family who are depending on me, so its very hard because this feeling that im weak and that i dissapointed everybody, its fueling this words and pictures and returning my focus on them even more. Struggling and fighting every day, the rumination doesnt help also. I was thinking that im the only one with this problem, but its helping to know, that im not the only one and that im not a bad or a crazy person like my mind its telling me to be. The doctor prescribed yesterday some pills and today i drank the first pill after 7 years, because ive managed to control it the last couple of years without the meds, but i know there is no magic pills for this kind of state, only trying to ignore it, living your life like you used to and trying to think positive or changing your mindset. Its hard, but its possible. My biggest problem was, i started to analyse my thoughts too much and tryed to fight them off, and that is why, this is my longest episode in 38 years and i was never so anxious. I just wanna express my support to all "sufferers"😅 going through this right now and to write just keep on fighting, go outside, talk with people and dont give up! Life is beautiful and your not what your mind is teeling you are!

Very interesting. Thank yout for your job. It's so helpful. My ocd symptoms started 2 years ago, when I was 36. I was taking antidepressant for 2 years, and I wanted to take it down, and at the same time my gynecologist prescribed a tablet, that could cure my hormonal problems, That was the time, when I started experiencing unusual intrusive thoughts and pictures in my mind. One year later I can say I'm fine now, I'm still having these thoughts, but now I can handle them. Thank you!

[@brianarbenz1329]

@@Spoonfeede In my case, I have always been subject to Magical Thinking, which is not the innocent thing it sounds like. Yes, MT has helped me become a creative fiction writer, but it came with an unaffordable and hazardous price. I believe it is related to OCD susceptibility. Getting past Magical Thinking, which if you're not familiar with the concept is getting an almost drug like high from your conception and interpretation of people, places and events that are really ordinary (that's the simplest way to define it) can open a person's mental floodgates too wide. It opens them to enable the person to be highly perceptive in positive ways, but it makes the person more in tune with their inner perceptions than the real world meanings. Through that process, thoughts become as though they are real. Does that resonate with your understanding, or am I perhaps off into to pshyco-gibberish?

[@mitchieee143]

the best advice but the hardest to accept is that doing compulsions is only gonna get you more wrapped up in your ocd. You’ve named a few that you participate in like avoidance, checking, and rumination. Notice how even after trying to decipher if they are real memories or not (trying to compare them to “real” ones, checking details) you’re not any closer to figuring it out. that’s ocd ! the reality is that you need to become comfortable with not being certain. You need to move your attention slowly into not completing those compulsions no matter how tempting it may be (your brain may scream “HEY YOU NEED TO BE SURE! THIS IS TERRIBLE WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF THIS IS REAL) but you need to starve that monster. The first baby step is trying to not fix or solve the problem for a certain amount of time & start small. “ okay for the next minute or two I won’t try and figure it all out. I’m going to wash dishes” you may fail over and over again but that’s okay 👍🏼 you can try again ! it’s normal to struggle when you have done these compulsions for a long time. It’s gonna make you sweat but in the long run you free yourself and get back to living 🦦

The one thing that somewhat calms me down when I’m struggling w/ those thoughts and images, is reminding myself I’m not my thoughts. I absolutely wish I heard this when I was 10 and undianosed. I know I’m so fortunate I found out about it when I hit 12 yrs old, but it still was debilitating and hearing “you control your thoughts” just reenforced all my fears. I still question if people would think I’m crazy if they knew what continously pops up in my head; but I wouldn’t beileve someone else with OCD is, so I try to be less harsh on myself. Just remember that yall are not crazy, and my heart sincerly goes out to all of you. And you are not your thoughts, nor are you alone in all this

I have the ocd of noticing what I am saying while I am saying it, self consciousness. I sometimes don't finish sentences or forget things, my concentration is not good and I have no confidence in myself, I can feel like i,m waiting for what I will say next. Anyone else feel like this

Confused. My psychologist says I should be aiming for detached awareness but says I’m allowed to think about whatever thoughts come to mind. I thought I wasn’t allowed to ruminate with ocd. We are doing erp too. Just feeling stressed about doing this right. She says I just need to do the erp.

[@lilymulligan8180]

Ruminating is different than thinking, but it takes some skill to know the difference. I was diagnosed awhile ago, and I still struggle to catch it sometimes, especially when it's a new obsession. Everyone is a little different, but here's how I tell the difference. 1.) the thoughts I'm having are very emotionally activating, and the emotions don't match my environment. This happens a lot when I'm trying to fall asleep. My brain will attach to everything I did wrong, replaying the events over and over, and I'll start to feel really anxious, but in reality, I'm literally just lying in bed. 2.) when I start to have arguments with myself, and the phrase "yeah, but" pops up. That phrase is my #1 dog whistle - as soon as I hear it, I know that's OCD. Honestly, I think developing awareness is 90% of the battle, because once you can start to notice your OCD patterns, you can do your exposures and get better rapidly. The hard part is that OCD speaks in your own voice. It's a shapeshifter. Highly recommend trying meditation as a way to build that awareness muscle.
