Stop Competing With Your OCD and Become The Boss

I thought you meant ERP in general wasn’t working because the only times ERP doesn’t work is when people don’t commit to it, and they usually don’t commit to it because it doesn’t provide relief. If you just mean that particular kind of thing isn’t working then yeah you should probably find something that’ll work for you.

Watching your videos makes me strangely emotional. Your tone of voice, sense of humor, and just the calm way you go about talking about OCD makes me really wish this channel had been around when I was a young teenager, when I didn't know I had OCD. I thought I was crazy for so long. I am in my 20s now and know that I have OCD and this knowledge helps, but I still feel like I lost a chunk of my life due to OCD and watching these videos just makes me so grateful. I feel like when things get bad again, I have a resource. So thank you for making these videos because they help, a LOT.

[@jeffsiwicki1803]

I'll never forget that one day. To begin, my OCD is on the milder side compared to some people I've read about. My OCD was at it's high water mark around ten years ago. The obsessions wouldn't allow me to leave a room that I wasn't coming back to for a while unless I spent about twenty minutes compulsing. I was surfing the net before bedtime and saw something about someone, a celebrity, songwriter, author or whoever, can't remember the specifics. Whoever it was, I was admiring them for their talents, achievements, personality, again I don't recall. It was late and time for sleep and the obsessions woke up and started their clawing at my brain and I sat there not wanting to spend the time compulsing. I said to myself "this is so exhausting, I want to be like so and so", (the individual I was admiring). That thought led into all people who don't have OCD. I want to be like them. And so I did what people without OCD would do. I let go of the mouse, turned off the light, used the bathroom and went to bed. My intrusive thoughts were in a rage, the anxiety clawed physically up my back tensing my muscles. I wanted to give in but I held my ground thinking I want to be like everyone who is free, and those I admire. I literally stuck my tongue out at my OCD while laying in bed. It's as if the thoughts got bored with me and went off to torment someone else. I kept this up, day after day, my very own personalized form of ERT. Over time my OCD got way better. Way! Better! It's not gone. I still have what I call "tender moments with my OCD". I just sometimes forget to explain to the thoughts that I'm more interested in being like people without this affliction than to spend time with them (the obsessions) and find myself, out of habit, compulsing. But when I remember, I simply say, "nope, I want to be like this guy, or that lady. It gives me the power to walk away while the thoughts continue to try and dig their claws into my head like a feral cat. I've explained this to a friend who has more severe OCD. She said no way would that be all it takes to see some improvement. I told it to another friend who has this affliction and he said "I don't even think about that crap anymore", he's on medication now. So, I realize we are quite a spectrum. But this is my story, and I'm sticking to it. Because it helped. ERT helps.

[@monsoonkairos234]

I'm proud of u my friend..💛💕 Also i would like to knw if u took any professional aid for ERT or u did it by yourself?

[@jeffsiwicki1803]

@@monsoonkairos234 Thanks Monsoon. I went to a psychologist once a very long time ago. I didn't go back because she seemed dismissive of OCD and was telling me it was anxiety. I thought that's fine, it's anxiety, but that seems like a big umbrella term where OCD is more specific. She never mentioned drugs or ERT as therapy. Also, that friend I mentioned above that got a prescription, gave me a book he had entitled "Brain Lock". It talked about Serotonin levels before and after therapy. It showed before and after scans. I never tried self ERT from the book although it was enlightening. It was just me being so sick of taking the time to do the compulsions along with the envy of seeing other people, (spouse, in-laws, friends and celebrities) all doing things that would take me down obsession lane. When the obsessions were loud and strong, I just pushed the thought "that nothing horrible happens to all the people in the world that don't do compulsions, I want to be like them". After what seems like a short time in hindsight, the obsessions weakened. I'm still using these tools with success. The OCD will always be with me I know, but when it rears it's head, I can push it back and keep it somewhat at bay.

Your vídeos actually helped me a lot. I'm 16 and i always had intrusive thoughts, but only recently i realised it was OCD and your videos helped me understand it and fight it. Now, whenever my ocd tries to act i imagine it like an ugly worm saying my intrusive thoughts in a very weird and funny voice. And whenever my ocd tries to make me doubt myself (like making me think that i'll hurt others) i think "well okay. Let it be then" and the bad things don't happen. Everytime the bad things don't happen, my ocd becomes a uglier, crustier and more pathetic worm, and life goes on.

I just try to let it be as much as i can and try to live through it and not do any rituals or checking because i know i will make my ocd worse in the long term. I am seeing a ocd therapist now on monday for my pocd now on monday mainly because i need help with my physical/groinal feelings wich is my worst enemy in my ocd and not the unwanted sexual toughts that i dont get. I hear how stupid it sounds but as soon as i walk by a much younger person i belive that i get a physicaland groinal reaction and get a lot of what if feelings and emotions wich gives me panic. Just because you walk by a good lookin girl you wont react that would just be weird so this is something that have to go away it`s so weird it almost sounds funny how dumb it is this whole thing is. But i guess this will go away as long as i work with it. I guess this physical thing just is a specific topic for me in my pocd and not the actual forbidden unwanted toughts wich might be something for other people with pocd or other types. Thanks for the help and i will keep fight this it will go away and it have gone away before.

The thing I've noticed though, is that I'm perfectly fine with agreeing with my OCD voices saying I'm a bad person. If OCD comes to attack anything about me as a person directly, I can say: "Bring it on bro!" But I think it knows it can't get me with that anymore, so it has now switched to attacking the things and people I care about most... A bit more of a difficult problem to tackle.

[@sorryimsosad]

Harm ocd is my thing. And I promise you, it may feel different than your other ocd issue you had, but the mechanism is still the same. It’s not anymore real or harmful than your other obsessions. It’s scary bc it’s abhorrent to thought that you could possibly hurt anyone you love. But. It’s just noise. Like a toddler speaking gibberish, you gotta just agree w it and move on. The thought only means something to you bc it’s attacking what you love. But, still, it’s just noise. You choose to decide whether or not the noise has meaning. You can sit and try to figure out the babbling child or you can just accept it and carry on according to your values.

I haven’t done anything to control my OCD. After 30 yrs, I decided to look up something on KZbin.

So with your rational thinking you say:"this is not true because I am what I choose to be,God gives me that right every single day" or "I am what I choose to be therefore this thought doesn't represent me" If your thoughts start to ruminante on BUT'S and BUT WHAT IF... you say "Im what I choose to be PERIOD.Case closed!" IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND YOU ARE AFRAID YOU CAN EVERYDAY PRAY ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS.Tell God you dont want to be specific because it could trigger you but you want him to know that you are truly sorry.

So basically what he is trying to say is to face the anxiety, let it suck you up, and hunt you until the brain gets used to them that it will get bored. Is that about right.
