Chrissie I love the work you do. I am really interested in the intersection of OCD and depression and how depressive thoughts can be intrusive and obsessive. This self-blame goes hand in hand with depression and in my experience there is a cycle of trying to find a behavioral cause you can “fix” but then ending up with categorical self-blame when you don’t feel you have the power to change your behaviors or have tried and failed to change over time. Both versions of self-blame resolve the uncertainty about why life seems so unfair and random. And both, I think, can be compulsions to cope with a moral/existential obsession. But unfortunately they can land you in a solid depression of feeling like everything bad in your life is because you just fundamentally deserve it.

Super interesting theory. I'm a psych major, too, just got my MA, and I've had a lot of discussions like this with groups. A lot of people who've reflected with me have remembered instances in the past where something hurtful/scary happened and the brain, being evolutionary programed to protect us, attributed the situation to being unsafe and were either activated there on the spot or the ball began rolling. And when they looked for safety, they couldn't find it, at least not in a convincing way, which injured their ability to self-soothe and connect with others, and that gnawed at their self-esteem. Mine developed when I was 7 and experienced a near death experience; I realized that no one could protect me completely and my amygdala was activated by PTSD that developed into OCD. For most of the people I talked to, some kind of trauma was involved, or a situation that activated threat detection and possibly developed from there. Something feels like it's missing (safety, love, trust, ect.). And I remember looking around when I was younger and thinking, "What is it that everyone else's got that I don't?" All these years later, I realize that I was looking for a reason for the way I felt and no one reflected what I was experiencing so I began to believe that it was just me and that I was defective, which worsened my self-esteem because I felt that it was proven to me, again and again, that my negative beliefs were true. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TEDTalk lol. Love your stuff, as always ❤️

As a lifelong sufferer of OCD, which I believe is a disease and not necessarily something I deserved, I so appreciate your channel because even though I can look at it (OCD) from a logical viewpoint (I e. It's a disorder and NOT something I deserved), it is still such a lonely journey for so many of us, myself included. Thank you for your honesty and advocacy.

Thank you, Chrissie ,for this video . I have struggled with my self esteem at different times in my life . I am in my 60s and although, i consider myself to be a pretty confident person. There have been times lately when I have been hard on myself. Now I know for sure it's been bc of the OCD. Thanks again and Keep up the good work!

Believe me, OCD and anxiety teach you a lot. The more you fight and hate it, the more it will grow. Instead, use it as a Tool to understand your mind and life.

If you need people without OCD for this study I’ll be happy to participate

Great video, Chrissie! This topic is so intriguing. Many of us struggle with the why of OCD and continually get stuck. I would love to see more research on this or be a part of a study on the correlation between self esteem and OCD.

Hi Chrissie. I've been thinking a lot about insecurity lately; and making connections to the hyper vigilance of our amygdalas. I'm thinking that we might have a bloated feeling of insecurity because there is a overarching context of insecurity in our intrusive thoughts. It's like our amygdalas keep yelling "YOU"RE INSECURE" at us. Have any insights?

I love your programs. You're generally very calm and seem to be thorough. I suffer from OCD3 with comorbid Bipolar and Depression. I'm sure you know all the other stuff that goes into these disorders. Keep up the good work.
