When OCD Says You Can Stop Bad Things from Happening (Lies, Lies, Lies)

[@OliVia-oo7uj]

I’m 27 who has struggled with OCD since my teens and this video is extremely beneficial to adults too. I don’t think people truly understand the torture that this condition brings. It can be obvious at times and so subtle at other times that I don’t even realise I’m avoiding/ruminating/doing compulsions. Even as I write this, I notice myself avoiding certain words and as someone who enjoys writing, this is so restrictive. I’m going to have a child soon which makes me even more determined to overcome OCD. Thank you for such an informative, articulate video

[@Javster]

I'm a 42 year old man currently being tormented with magical thinking OCD. Have had many "themes" for the last 30 + years -.... its so hard to find good help @ least where i live. Thank you so much for making this video! - This has actually helped - a lot of the things you say resonate with me. Again THANK YOU!

[@Timmypup]

Also 42, also suffering since I was a kid. Never been religious or had any spiritual beliefs, just overwhelmingly compelled to do ‘certain’ things which are getting more creative and more difficult to achieve as I get older. The mind can be cruel. As I get older the OCD sets me harder and harder tasks to achieve.

[@BokanProductions]

I have Magical Thinking OCD as well, and I can't get my job back until I finally overcome it once and for all.

[@Javster]

I came back to this video because Im just about the take medication for my newest round of OCD which as an adult, has found new nefarious ways to convince me of horrifying consequences. This video (for kids) has helped me TREMENDOUSLY - I cannot thank you enough.

[@cheriecullum9489]

Thank you so much for these videos. My teen grandson has OCD and suffers quietly every waking moment. He mom finally has him in therapy after lots of encouragement. No mom wants to ever comes to terms with their children having this lifelong disease. I'm been agnostic most of my life, but lately I find myself praying for him. I wish I could help him make friends.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Sorry to hear about your grandson’s struggles. I am glad he is now in therapy. With a trained OCD therapist, he can make some good progress 💓🙏

[@topgamingnoob893]

The hardest bit with trying to get over it is the depression and massive anxiety you feel because that convinces you even more the thoughts are true that and coincidences

[@danielleolsen4751]

Thank you so much! Now I can be braver then I look, stronger then I seem, and smarter then I think! You are the best!

[@cloned81]

You just freed me at 37, after 23 years of this 💩

[@Tmuk2]

Yeah I find that watching something like this can really help... For a few days at least, and then it starts to gradually come back again. Just have to keep rewatching the video I suppose!

[@Abhijeetetrx]

@@Tmuk2 No. Continue doing ERP, and it'll never come back again

[@timcook4552]

On point! So hard to control it 😭

[@josepharnett7256]

I'm 32 years old and this channel is being very helpful in my fight

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I’m glad to hear it. I do get messages from lots of adults who benefit from these videos, so you are not alone. This is the same advice I would give anyone of any age. I’m glad you find it helpful.

[@jackjay2812]

The thing that hurts me the most, is that I am completely convinced that these thoughts are correct when it makes assumptions. It could be me confusing this with natural human instinct, or intuition whenever it's correct. Even believing that thinks to myself that my OCD is a higher form of intuition or instinct if this is the case of me confusing something like common sense as my OCD predicting something. Also thank you for the video, even though I am adult but this has been with me for years.

[@merpmerp4135]

This is exactly how I feel. The feelings are so strong I believe it's intuition so I feel like I have to do the compulsions. There's no way around it. It's so debilitating.

[@miraavella1894]

Im an adult, who deals withbthis s*it since childhood. Thank you for these videos. These are important for adults too.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Absolutely, these skills are ageless for sure!

[@freethoughts2898]

Wow, this was so good that watching it triggered me. Spot on.

[@oliverroberts1076]

It's amazing that you refer to the fear of throwing up. When I was ten, a kid in my class threw up right next to me, and I know it was that very incident that started my magical thinking OCD. I have been fighting it ever since. I am now 42. Through my own treatment I now manage it better than I used to; it's always there but sometimes it comes back stronger than usual and I have to work hard to overcome it again.

[@nageshgowda3164]

I’m 31 years old. I have been suffering with OCD from age 16. I know these OCD thoughts are wrong but still I can’t avoid doing what OCD says.

[@MollzBcat]

I hope you get better! ❤️

[@elinya4232]

as a gal with OCD since her childhood... and dealing with this type of themes into my 20s... thanks a lot! patterns are so damn annoying :D

[@Chiller-pc1dv]

As a 21 year old adult with OCD and GAD, I can say that this actually helps a lot. I have a lot of anxiety and worrying about my guinea pig, worried that something horrible could happen to him, and I even have nightmares where it does happen....and they are really vivid and disturbing. This, however.......seems to have helped relieve some of that anxiety, so, thank you!

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Glad you found it helpful ❤️

[@bp6h]

Thank you this is helpful especially with the emetophobia (which I struggle with A LOT). This makes me feel hopeful!

[@sakyavlog]

It's so hard for my day to day life due to ocd some times it ...feels like it never gonna get rid out of my life there is so much nonsense things in my head and I wanted to get out of ocd and live a normal life and this fucking ocd is not allowing me to write a comment also but this is my first step to get rid out of this problem sorry for my language and those who are suffering from this problem I believe that we all can win this fight and starting from 2day this is my 1st day of fighting ocd

[@2010racerx]

You are amazing Awesome way to get rid of OCD

[@angel_existential]

I'm an adult who is just coming to understand how magical thinking works and that I very likely have this form of ocd. For me, there is no voice. It's sensations of bad or good. Not every compulsion has a negative outcome. It's almost like I can feel the balance of the universe, and whether or not I am in sink with that. Hopefully I can find a psychologist to speak to and figure out what I have going on.

[@manonperruche2153]

Thank you so much❤ Your words help.

[@donjon8352]

Key overcome ocd take risks and mix up ocd pattern to confuse it 😊

[@candle5676]

thank you for your videos

[@timcook4552]

you just described me 💔😭

[@ianturner2505]

High axnious stares ,still at 57 , .I am listrninhg ,bless you .Thank You.

[@amansheriff3447]

@Natasha Daniels: I have constant fear if that I don't recite small prayers something bad will happen to my parents, and that they may die. So every time a bad thought (like a disease / eventuality) strikes me, I start compulsively praying. Thinking that if I pray, God will save my family. If not, something bad could happen - causing severe anxiety. Kindly advice for my particular case. How do I know this is not true / a superior power that could safeguard me due to my prayers. I can't afford to risk challenging it.Would be extremely grateful to you. Also, I found this video really helpful.

[@katrinad6131]

This was such a great video! This is the exact OCD I have. Could you use this on OCD of the fear of saying something is going well or you are happy because your ocd tells you if you say that you will jynx it?

[@bearheart2009]

I have that thing where i think thinking something makes it more likely to happen, but i don't have OCD. I might have a touch of PTSD and some level of anxiety. This is one of the worst symptoms of anxiety in my experience. It doesnt help that new age type movements based around books like The Secret exist >.>

[@MikeWazowski680]

I have this as well but look up OCD and the law of attraction, theres a wonderful Lady who explains that The law of attraction only works with intent and hard work, it helped me so much! Hang in there!

[@BBETK]

Lol me 33 yo, who likes the way you present this information! 😂

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

@@BBETK you’re not alone. Tons of adults watch this channel ;-)

[@alex_m1688]

Recently had images of me murdering people when i try to sleep or just i randomly think about it I moved into a new house 2 days ago and it just started happening last night I could feel myself start to get lost in the thought and i got real nervous. My heart started to race and when i forced myself to get up and get a breathe outside my room i thought “What if i happened to go upstairs and grab a knife” which made me more nervous because i was telling myself “No i’m not a bad person no i’m not a sociopath” i was nervous to close my eyes because when i did i thought of those images and made me scared. Until i texted my friend and she said i had an anxiety attack and that i should do breathing techniques and listening to calm music. I waited until i was so tired i couldn’t think then closed my eyes and it helped. I told my mom who is a social worker and she said it’s because of emotional overload of a new house and once i get into a routine it’ll be ok, but i don’t know if it will I’m now scared to go to sleep tonight because i might have those dreams I need advice please

[@Lerzey]

Just A Random High Schooler I have those thoughts too and it’s all right no matter how hard you think or get lost it’s fine God loves you so much and it’s hard rn for me to and it’s hard but medication and therapy helps you’ll be good!

[@mdhacker1494]

I'm 17 years old next month 18 now I have thought it's I'm not kid now so thase video is not going to help me because I'm not kid I'm sacred of this thinking it's ocd make me think Is I'm not kid? Can I watch your video? 😭

[@AbcDef-ph7vr]

What if u try to think it (magical ocd)is absurd and u try to change ua thinking ..next moment u find all fears coming true and u again to beleive and act as previous

[@anthonette-o1g]

i don't think if i have ocd but im experiencing indecisive intrusive thoughts if someone tells me to do that i can't do it its just that something's gonna happen that if i choose that and everything i can't decide immediately until im exhausted and not doing it at all😢

[@piamontagna-schweitzer4224]

My son is 14 years old. I am not sure he has OCD. How I could sign in to watch your videos in sequence?

[@messpilo]

My ocd thoughts have isolated me I have many avoidances.

[@sociallydanjr2163]

This is me. Anyone have luck with correcting it?

[@aimanamin3993]

If we will take baby steps can we be free from OCD completely ....@natasha Daniels

[@jayabhardwaj8841]

U r wonderful Mam 👌🏻

[@keithfernandes9943]

Why does new age spirituality sound so much like ocd

[@junemckenzie8412]

because new age is toxic to some extent, its okay to think to have thoughts we have to remember we are human and that some of us have mental issues, but those mental issues do no determine your fate. I like the law of attraction and affirmations but even with that every thought is not gonna manifest its just a thought

[@Timmypup]

A thought Cant manifest itself without prolonged intention and the prolonged ‘feeling’ of it already being true. Don’t worry, they aren’t the same thing.
