We are sensitive people with OCD- so when we get an intrusive thought we freak out on this thought. It's weird because before OCD- I can remember intrusive thoughts and just blew them away but now I freak out it sucks. Now thanks to help in the last few years I now just do not react and it goes away. Good luck all OCD'ers- you can recover.

As soon as I removed myself from these thoughts (accepting as it is) I finally started to witness that the thoughts became less and less frequent allowing me to actually move on from it. Luckily for me I managed to understand and overcome it in just 2 months as opposed to other sufferers whom I heard went through years of HELL, because thats what it is. It may seem impossible but trust me you can break free just by ACCEPTING THE THOUGHTS dont fight it. when the thought comes you can be like me and say OH WELL and accept all the things those thoughts make you feel like you are. Hard but you start to give reduced attention the

I'm glad to hear you have found a strategy that works! It is SO hard to do when you don't understand the pattern of how it works, but once you get it, it can make life way better.

Thank you for showing up.

I’m going through HOCD I know you won’t see this but PLEASE my anxiety is gone and now I have the thoughts with no anxiety and the false attraction I’m tired of it.

[@fizzycola1232]

Lit same I used to now it’s gone what u have to do is go of social media’s coz u could see the same sex as u shirtless and etc which could trigger it so all u have to do go of social media and stop doing reassurance and ignore it when it comes I know it’s hard but ignore it

[@Nicole-yx8ms]

How are you doing?

[@PeteV80]

As a little kid I would OBSESS about health issues, asking my parents over and over "has that ever happened to you?". A worry would get STUCK in my head and no matter what I did it wouldn't go away -- always in the background. The worry would only fade when a new one replaced it. It really is the "What if" disorder. I'm about ready to get real help. I'm 37 and for 35 years I really didnt know what I had...I just hunkered down and forced myself through life. Now I have a young son and family, and I dont want my life dominated with anxiety and rumination when I have such beauty to enjoy. Scary, but it's time.

[@glenwatkins5351]

All my life. 53. Estranged from family. Off meth and porn. Massive guilt from not having self control and being good enough at hiding sexual abuse to prove i am worthy of being adopted. Thank you. This has been my struggle

[@julianaramirez7669]

Chrissie your videos on pure OCD are simply the best👏👏👏!

[@jimpaull731]

I don't have ocd but I have a relative that has some seclusive behaviour. Again thank you for your videos. I remember when I was in high school a friend of mine told me how he could kill his kitten with just a twist of his wrist; 30 years later I now see he was looking at me wondering if that was normal. I thought that was odd not to mention other things. I moved on but he went ballistic and sent thousands of magazine subscriptions to my house. I was a senior in high school so I was less informed, I invited him to my home, threw down the hundreds of magazines and was ready to kick his ass, but I chose not to, he was humiliated enough. I knew there was something "quirky or odd" about his behaviour. Again thakyou for explaining this illness so eloquently

[@Bexsta84]

Thank you for sharing. My 9year old daughter has a very similar OCD. She has just opened up to me about new thoughts that are hard for me to know. No one around us understands my child, i am doing my best and appreciate it when people like your self are sharing the truth. She isn't alone. I am not sure if to show her this so she doesn't feel alone? I will be asking her therapist.

[@Kira6311]

3:25 this remind me of a pattern ive noticed in myself of "What if" questions, like what if i wanted the thought?, what if im just fooling myself that i didnt wanted the thought? ...

[@melissahoward7532]

I love your hair. It's nice. You're pretty too. It fits you. That style

[@nobody3888]

I feel like all I am is OCD. THAT CONSUMES MY MENTAL LIFE. Can't escape my tortureous brain and thoughts that's obsess and ruminate over and debate weather they're true or not. Why did god make me like this.

[@ChrissieHodgesPureOCDAdvocate]

We are predisposed to have this illness unfortunately. But, ERP therapy works and can help get it managed!

[@TheAlaskanfrog]

[@wakenbake3682]

[@TomMFAO]

I love your videos, thank you so much for sharing :)

[@woozworldloer123]

Can your thoughts make you think "you want to do this, your going to do this, what if?"

[@wyattbentleychannel4816]

Look I am 15 and for 3 months I’ve been having anxiety and after watching this video I’ve realized that I’ve been talking with my therapist about the wrong thing but is it normal to be scared of hating a family member

[@drachaksakcha]

Is it weird that I don't react emotionally to "disgusting" sexual thoughts like picturing my parents naked/having sex? Not anxious, not disgusted, not excited, just... neutral.

[@ChrissieHodgesPureOCDAdvocate]

I don't think that is weird? I was using that example because it is easy to relate for people who don't have OCD to understand what it is like and how it can hook.

[@drachaksakcha]

Chrissie Hodges/Pure OCD Advocate I see. Thanks :)

[@60ssuperman12]

I can't even have woman friends anymore cause of this problem its hell

[@lukemessina3396]

[@elliottatkinson3853]

Luke Messina what is this looking on Google for symptoms?

[@dramatheone5772]

ERT exposure response therapy is that what I need? Can u get me a therapist in New Jersey that possibly takes medicare

[@adamholmes7936]

Im from the uk and have no clue where to start to get help ive been to the doctors and they have referred me to a mental health assessment team but dont know what to say just incase they do not know about harm ocd? Or pure ocd

[@ChrissieHodgesPureOCDAdvocate]

Definitely print off some articles about it from reputable sources (www.ocdonline.com, www.ocdla.com) and show the doctor you are going to see and let them know you are experiencing similar symptoms.

[@dramatheone5772]

What do u do hekp

[@stephentreanor5044]

Fuck I so identify at this video

[@indiee4971]

100th like ❤️❤️❤️

[@unclekarl9474]

When I think about the way OCD is described it is personified like it is an opponent. Demons which are persons without bodies are these tormentors. Two good preachers who deal with mental health challenges are Joel Osteen and Derrick Prince.
