I’ve had all the symptoms you describe at the beginning of the segment. Smoking pot helped me for about a year and now I get panick attacks when I smoke pot. It’s crazy. I hate everything about it. I know my mom, my grandma and my grandmas sister had the same issues. I wish I never had this.

Thank you for this Paige. This really hits home for me. Thanks for all you do. 🙏

Health anxiety and somatic OCD go hand in hand. Took me to the age of 35 to figure out I’ve had OCD my whole life (off and on), and that all these health anxiety spirals, existential crises, and breathing and swallowing loops were all OCD. Now I’m finally able to understand the problem and start my pro-active recovery instead of living in confusion and fear and thinking my mind is uniquely broken. 🙏

Past experiences

I am one day paralyzed and one day i. Pain what does the body need

Thank you Paige. My OCD specialist is going through I-CBT training now. We both have the book by the originator of I-CBT. I am hoping it will be useful, because regular ERP does not work for me because of my long history of being on benzos taken as prescribed. My main theme is health OCD/anxiety and i am signed up for your health anxiety class. I have looked over the literature showing that benzos inhibit fear extinction and also slow the inhibitory learning. I am hoping that this modality will work better because it seems like it uses "more parts of the brain" that wouldn't be inhibited by my benzo use. I am going to taper very slowly with the help of my doctor and my own 5+yrs of research starting Jan 1st, 2025. My therapist and I are halfway through the I-CBT book and just hitting the midway intervention chapters. The logic of the hypothesis of I-CBT seems sound and is definitely more affirming in my opinion. It's a shame that most OCD therapist channels and pages online disparage I-CBT as not having enough evidence, etc. The reality is that ERP has a 30% failure rate at best and many individuals are on benzos taken as prescribed since they were kids. I was 12, i'm 36 now. I also have some real life health issues that OCD often attaches itself to; as well as a fear of medicines which have been ineffective at best and harmful when you've been cold turkeyed or rapid tapered many times over the course of your life. This has give me medical trauma as well. Anyway, thank you for all you have done and do. I continue to listen to your meditation you did years back. Hope all is well. Josh.

I was recently diagnosed with OCD alongside GAD and it’s like being a prisoner tortured by your own thoughts. It’s horrible.

Can you be a combination of multiple categories? Lol

I’ve been obsessively ruminating since childhood. I was diagnosed OCD at 14 and have GI issues 😅

Wow, it feels like you literally just spoke directly to me. I’m trying to get through all this and I am going more the aggressive approach as I also know what that reward to thy brain and self feels like, however exhausted. I need to find a therapist available like you! You have a gift, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this

For many years I was sure I had both. When I was younger (38 now) I had many rituals and compulsions. Recently my therarist whom I visit since I was 24 told me that I dont have OCD, I dont match the criteria and I have excessive anxiety. I am so confused now because I am sure I have OCD as well.

Hi, dear Paige! With Retroactive Jealousy OCD it seems like it's harder to break the cycle... I don't understand exactly why. They talk about underlying trauma, attachment style, low self-esteem...that encourage this condition. Said to be a complex form of "Pure O". That's why it's harder to overcome this specific condition... I'm searching day after day.

Please I live in fort lauderdale do u know of a good therapy service here I have attended a few but many don't know of health anxiety

I thought I never see you post again thank you for not leaving

Thank you so much . Ocd is so hard ocd 20yrs

I need help, I've already gone through this phase but now the thoughts are stronger, as if I no longer trust myself and my memory, now I'm convinced that I cheated on my girlfriend and don't remember it, that I had dirty chats with other people and forgot about it, what should I do? I feel too bad

I have a suspected bpd diagnos, I believed that the diagnosis was correct, cause I dealt with long term depression and anxiety, and had strong abandonment issues in a relationship with an partner that had a hard time thinking or caring for others than thenselfs. Two years after we broke up, I no longer think I have BPD, I think I have SPS personality and GAD, combined with my PDD. And that would explain parts of my attachment issues, abandonment issues, I guess my atypical autism can have something to do with that alos. But looking at BPD, I have problems with not being able to get angry, I have strong feelings but I'm incapable of getting angry, I have a hard time being impulsive, I have to much anxiety to do anything, even when I have panic attacks, so it's very rare that I act in affect, I am very rational and know the difference between strong feelings and reality. And I don't split on people, there are things that can make me very sad and hurt fast, but it dosen't change my opinions or make me see things black and white. So... I honestly don't think I have BPD anymore, I just think I am a highly sensitive girl that have had big problems with depression and anxiety. Combined with my two other diagnosis add and atypical autism, that is a very hard combination to handle. I don't have so much catastrophic thoughts anymore, I had it everyday a, few years ago, when I has in that problematic relationship, but I think that I am kind of cured from it now, if it was GAD. But I still tend to have favorite persons, but coulden't that be because the autism? Or other trauma from my childhood then BPD?

I am at my wits end with this disease. I have pedophilia ocd, and the fear of losing control or harming someone or myself, I write down on a post it note I’m not a pedophile, and I would never hurt myself or anyone else. I soon realized this was a compulsion and I was obsessed over not loosing this note, I ended up loosing it then I copied the same thing in a post it and taped it to my key and now I’m obsessing over what if I lose the key or what if the tape becomes bad and the post it gets ruined then maybe I will forget I’m not a pedophile and I wouldn’t hurt myself or anyone. I think the post it is a compulsion, but I also don’t want to memory hoard “I’m not a pedophile” and “I wouldn’t hurt myself or anyone” what should I do about this issue? Throw away the post it and go through the hell of not having it? Eventually hopefully forgetting about it and the thoughts

I've had this now off and on for more than 35 years, it has hindered my concentration and academic progress, infact. It has made life miserable for me.

Just wanted to leave a comment to let you know that this video really helped me with my driving anxiety so much. It changed my viewpoint of needing to rewire my brain to get over the panic, and it worked! I used to love driving and randomly had a panic attack on the high way about a year ago. I couldn't even drive down the road after that without feeling panic. One day I happened to find this video and honestly it just changed my perspective entirely. Instead of hiding from the panic I had to face it head on, and even though it was really hard at first, it worked. I'm driving every day now and I have my independence back. I just wanted to thank you for this video. For anyone else who is having this issue, don't lose hope! It takes time and one day you will overcome it if you just keep trying.

Iam breathing manually for a year now it does stop.. it starts after gettin nose obstruction for many months

Thank you for this video 😊

Having this ocd even I have tried to ignore a couple of time that nothing will happen bad but still when those come true makes more doing it What can I do Even medicines are going on from about 2 years when it got extreme but still no control over them It made me very much depressed in these years that I can't even work and good that just after graduation this happened to extreme can't step out Please could you help

I realy needed to hear this i gone soft latley and let the Fear rule over me i Have so many dreams and goals, not beeing able to walk around your block truly feels like you are living in a prison !to Any one reading you are not alone !we are getting threw this ! thank you for this amazing video ❤️

I have recovered almost from DPDR let me tell you how. Around November 23 I was getting day by day foggy mind symptoms but after 2 days I couldn’t even concentrate on things, I used to forget things which I just said almost 5 mins before , I felt too tired even after sleep, I also felt foggy mind like my body wasn’t what I was responding to I even couldn’t stand for a long ( Reference to Namaz because im Muslim ) I struggled alot with it but one day I discovered using nicotine pouches It helped me alot I guess I was already nicotine addict ( Don’t try if you are not nicotine addict ) plus I forgot one thing this DPDR happened when I used hashish becausei was stressed for along period of time. Continuing back I found velo ( pouches ) which helped me alot but i ised it after every 30 mins but then I got admission in my university and I was focused on the new environment plus I also got a caring girl and eventually after some time I realised that its no more I don’t feel it anymore . And I was cured. The best cure is to make yourself happy and dont search for symptoms it will make you as hell worried just stay happy and one day you will realise its all gone. If anyone wants to contact me tbh ill share my experience and advise because it was my wish if I got cure ill tell everyone how to deal with it and also I’m not doing this for money Its all free if you want to contact me ill always help ( +923185523246 ) Best of luck guys

Omg that’s me. I won’t drive Because of the fear of losing control. Crashing on purpose. Etc..

thanks for the excellent videos.. very informative and helpful! Do the approaches you mention help folks deal with/overcome Harm OCD?

When I ruminate, I don't think I want to stop because in that moment I HAVE to solve the "problem". I HAVE to be in control. The idea of trying to stop it actually raises my anxiety.

Thank you so much it gave me so much relief 🙏. Everything make sense now.

im 15 years old and people think im fucking dumb because im detached from the external world, im anxious and scared sometimes, im stuck on being how i used to be, i also know im weak becaus i dont have any type of strongness or used too, its been a living hell for about 3 months and i dont remember any of it until i feel how i do in public or at home, and i dont love my family no more🤣..

The way you express or explain I really like you are the First Lady that I feel ok to listen to about this issue (if it is real or is the issue) cheers all the best cheers

Can.OCD cause complete emotional numbness 24/7 for yeaars???? Like not feel.anything at all??

I am physician listening to learn about ocd and HOCD, any input on HOCD.Thks
