Intrusive Thoughts & The Collective Unconscious
I need a Way Out from Retroactive Jealousy OCD...😔... I'm losing my life!
Congrats on the baby!
So basically you’re saying that if I do compulsions I’m not really trusting God? I’m not getting it. You’re making it seem like Scrupulosity isn’t an actual thing and that it’s really unbelief…
All in all are you saying that I don’t have faith? Cus that’s what I’m getting…
Hello, brother... I'm going through several books and videos, various techniques and channels on how to overcome Retroactive Jealousy OCD. This condition is horrible! I no longer know who to ask for help... an endless mental prison in the partner's past.
Is there a cure for this?
My goodness, I've been crippled by this for several months now. Medication, therapy, time off work etc... Lots of prayer and scripture reading. But I'm so afraid that my doubt and fear are stronger than my faith and that that will damn me.
🥺 I feel more anxious now ...
Awesome!
Hi matt Cool explination. Very simply talked trough.
My thought is 'i will hang myself' i really dont want to and am scared if i will go crazy and do it.
Medicine for ocd unwanted thoughts. Religious ocd. I have been taking fluvoxine for 15 and more but no relief. Can anyone advice me please.
This is awesome 👌
Gosh , when you said you dont feel like its going to end its so right and the time frame thing is me its like i want to be better yesterday its like locked in your own mind and body i appreciate this cause its tough this episode has nearly finished me 😢
Anxiety is always first thing , then the symptoms cause me depression 🫥 just gone up on my setraline 😢
Thank you so much wish I could call you my friend how can I contact you My friend
hi - you can visit our website at www.restoredminds.com for application.
Job losses will increase, depression often results and poor health but here's a short word of encouragement I gave recently *** czcams.com/video/tn2pIPXuZEk/video.html
I realised that I have been ruminating for the past 6 years. It's always about sex, physical health and bullying. Now I can start to stop thinking. I will recover ❤❤
Matt I was wondering if you knew about the connection between Low Testosterone and OCD? I had OCD and low T existing together and when I got on TRT it elevated 80% of my symptoms, I still did erp but I can honestly say TRT was a huge part of my remission!
How do I get rid of the behaviors?
I can’t even stop thinking about the past, how can I seperate if I don’t truley believe I am a good person ?
This was the single most helpful thing I've heard..... Can you direct me to other uploads/literature to help???
Thank you for mentioning "1% better". That part really stuck out to me.
What you said is great man 👍🏻 right now I'm experiencing hocd it makes me doubt myself,as you said when i think about being bisexual I don't like it at all i feel like it's so disgusting and weak and i never want myself to be like that, i just wanna live as a normal man i think these are my values but when a hocd thought came and feel some groinal sensation , then my mind keeps doubting that what if my values are changed now what if like to bisexual and when these thoughts come to my mind i can't stop checking my values . Can you give any tip for this??🙏🏻
Thanks
Tottaly true. I'm suffering from Retroactive Jealousy OCD. This condition is horrible. Living nightmare... My mind is in jail.
my form is that by thinking of a bad thing that i will somehow cause it or trigger an evil person to cause them harm and that’s how i cause the harm by doing the thinking the thought itself is the harm 😢
Thank you. I deal with chronic chest pain that doesn’t go away from anxiety and OCD and I’m stuck a lot but I’m doing my best.
@nourreddinekardiss3049 I like how you reported my comment for hurting your feeling after you’re the went you went into the comments acting like a tool.
@nourreddinekardiss3049
Thank you so much, when you said the thing about “if you could think your way out of this you would have by now” hit home. Trying to analyze and intellectualize my thoughts just give them more fuel to grow.
@DevonUnfloppableLarratt4207
Do you have any tips for «pure-O» sufferers loved ones? Im in the middle of getting an OCD diagnosis without the «classic compulsions» (obsessive thoughts only) and i have a hard time telling apart my obsessions/compulsions and normal toughts and so i imagine its even harder for my partner.
Thank you Matt for everything. I couldn't agree more.
solid
Great stuff. 🩵
Thank you 🙌
How are am I able to message u for advice thanks
hi - you can join us at www.restoredminds.com
It’s not always “what if thoughts” I think people tend to forgot thoughts can come in as statements/ and images
Of course there are images too
my father beat the shit out me sometimes, thankyou very much u motivated me..
Any one else get the thoughts in phases? I literall will not have any of these thoughts for weeks or a month then ill have a couple of weeks with these terrifying thoughts its very interesting
Thank you so much for this. It is so exhausting letting your mind solve a nonexistent problem 😢
Thank you so much for these videos. After nearly 20 years battling this condition I think I finally understood whats going on and the best way to respond to it. These videos are life changing and made a massive impact to me. I am grateful to find your channel and learn from these videos.
You’re so handsome. I don’t think we can drop a story we have held without changing our interpretation of the past and changing our sense of who we are in context to it. That changes the story. If you’ve had some kind of a traumatic past, those all have to be processed and put in a new perspective, then the story automatically changes. Like, an example is that I was really teased a lot in school and then I came to understand what was going on socially, and that our family was really well known in my town, actually in a good way. So, in fact, the kids were maybe jealous, and I had no idea at the time. But now, I look back and I think wow, that really shaped who I think I am, and what a shame of what damage it did for such a long time. Now I try to be aware of my thoughts, and how I’m thinking of myself and what kind of story I tell myself in my head about the past. It’s really hard. Even when you have a good revelation.
Powerful! Thank you for this series!
You're so welcome!
Good tools for a "tool box" thank you

I am Víctor from Spain, I am 20 years old and I have had anxiety since I was little, it used to occur in class, in restaurants, in a movie theater to give some examples... well the fact is, I have been in this hell for 2 years, on May 9, 2022 I I woke up having thoughts that in my life I had had about harming myself, I remember that the day before before going to sleep I read a news story about a boy who took his own life, logic tells me that this could have been a possible trigger, I at the same time At first I was scared because I didn't want to do that nor do I want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I felt terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this is going to be a bad day and Tomorrow I will be fine, because the days went by and it was still the same, even because of the fear I had, I even slept with my mother, imagine... a few days after this, while I was in my room, this thought occurred to me, which I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself I was already bad, imagine after that crossed my mind... literally, I couldn't even see my mother, it was terrible, if before I had anxiety, then after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating why Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that time while reading about the subject I came across a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that literally eliminated the physical symptoms that I had even though those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him exactly what I am telling in this message and he told me about impulsive phobias, I went home and a few days after this the typical news that they give at night was on Antena 3's news. Well, well, they talked about a news story about a boy with schizophrenia and what happened to me is that I was literally in shock, I hardly slept that night, literally when I heard that I was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 months followed day by day on Google, on CZcams videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic breaks, about other mental disorders and well from there I am not bad, the following. I literally began to pay attention to sounds and for example I was watching a CZcams video of whatever and if I heard something that could be outside of that video, I would rewind the video to see if I heard it again, that was an example of what What I did and sometimes I continued doing it, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye I see like a flash and I wonder if you are freaking out in case it is a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoia and to give an example, reading that these people think they want to kill them and from then on I have thoughts of that style, "paranoid" thoughts even though I know they are a lie, I don't know if after everything I'm saying Are you finding out what is happening to me or if perhaps in your consultation you have had cases of this style, because in Spanish I have barely found information as if I have found it in English and they relate it to OCD called OCD Going Crazy, but literally that Sometimes I doubt that this could be OCD, this seems serious, I'm afraid it's psychosis or schizophrenia, I'm shit, I need help, it seems like I'm delirious at times, although I repeat, I know that certain thoughts don't make sense... I think that reading symptoms has messed with my head because in my life I have had these thoughts and I think I am very suggestive. 3 psychiatrists tell me that they are impulsive phobias but come on, sometimes it seems like he's really crazy.
my fears have gone with therapy almost away. but there is one issue than no one has ever known how to help, something that therapist don't talk more often. How to resume sex life after suffering with so-ocd? I'm avoiding sex with a partner because every time I try to have sex a get extremely nervous. Dysfunctions like loosing erection, loosing interest, feeling like i'm not being aroused pop up every time I want to have sex and everything ends in me being defeated. On the other hand, masturbation its much easier than sex. I used to like sex a lot. Now is very difficult to me to approach my partner because all these thoughts and feeling make me feel like I am failing.
This has changed this life. Thank you dude.
What the hell is ERP?
