Do you have OCD? What does it look like?
My contamination OCD- which I never believed I had because I’m not a clean freak. But I realized that in my life I have never touched anything I felt was “foreign” or that it feels uncertain to me- I don’t know what the item really is and I’m not acquainted with it, so I never really did anything in my life which involved any foreign object- be it wearing anyone’s shoes, touching strangers’ handles, etc.
Now with CBT I realised that everything is familiar, everything is same as my household and everything is connected and clean.
The feeling of STRANGENESS AND FOREIGN IS LEAVING MY LIFE AS I LOSE OCD. I felt like an aloen in my own body like everyone and everything is covered in green alien goo (I’m not exaggerating). Finally, this is leaving, thanks to treatment.
I haven’t been diagnosed but I do compulsions and ruminate with extreme anxiety.
One of my subtypes is a strange mix of somatic OCD, social anxiety and emetophobia. I obsessively focus on the throat, which causes it to dry out, leading me to wretch or become unable to speak. It often comes on during most social situations as I anticipate it triggering, and I don't want to draw attention to myself. I subdue it through chewing gum or sipping water, but I recognise that this is the compulsion strengthening the issue, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get through a day at work without having gum.
@@Davehans5600 expose yourself slowly to social situations.
I have magical thinking ocd, mixed with scrupolosity.
Sometimes I get blasphemous toughts that really hurt and offend me, which causes me to nutrilize them either by repeating my action (If I'm on a walk, I would just walk some couple of steps back and walk again) or flatout cancelling (For example If the tought came, while I make a pizza, I would stop making a Pizza, because this Pizza is now infected with my toughts)
The consquences would be, God punishing me for those toughts by giving me cancer, especially brain cancer or worse.
Dear everyone battling with OCD,
I don’t know who you are, but I totally understand how debilitating and horrifying OCD can be. OCD is not talked about nearly enough or understood nearly enough or anywhere close and it’s not fair that people like us have to live with this evil horrific illness. Just know I am super proud of each and every one of you for making it this far and not giving up no matter how difficult and hopeless it definitely may seem at times. I’ve personally have had and still have many moments I just want to give up on life cuz of how debilitating my OCD can be. But after years of struggling, I’m still here. And just like that, so are you!! Praying we all overcome this evil illness one day and can truly live our life. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you ☺️
ocd is very debilitating... i remember when i just started having ocd i just had contamination ocd and it wasnt as bad as rn i miss thouse times. now its gotten so bad because i have intrusive thoughts that i cant speak english. its not my native language however i acquired it naturally just from playing games and this is the only language that i use. i had too much trauma in my childhood and i hate my native languages i cannot stand them, so i never use them i only use english to do things. this makes it so difficult because i cannot study and justt have fun, since all the studying and all the entertaiment i could possibly have is in english and i feel restless now. its like sometimes instead of speech or text i hear/read just noise like i cant understand anything. ive never thought it could be so terrifying.
You should do these more often. It is relatable to see others going through it, and I can use the advise for my own healing.
Thanks so much! I really enjoy these. They are more raw and authentic. I'll try to do more of them!
@@ocdandanxiety pls reply to my comment
@@ocdandanxietyI love this idea too! This was really fascinating, I’m looking forward to seeing more!
The courage it must take to show up to therapy every week is amazing.
Suffering from hocd for 3 months.... Now I became Master of my own thoughts i want to share some tips with all of you guys,whatever gender it is(male or female)
So here's the tips
1. Just stay silent on every thoughts, stop saying whenever it's over thinking...
2. Stop checking your symptoms on google or doing chatgpt and stop reassuring from someone...
3.Its just your thoughts here's your brain playing tricks on you saying (hey! That phone will become mango😂) It's actually what's you believe I know you are straight I am 100% sure, so take a deep breath and relax.. This is just your thoughts and it will never change your sexuality....
4.treat your thoughts like video games (acceptance and not react)
Don't make strong believe on who you are... Stop saying i am straight , I am straight those words because here's how ocd works.. Questioning and doubting what's your strong belief
Stay strong fighters I know it's little bit challenging, but you will definitely won it.... 🏆🏆❤
Thank you brother
@@itz_winter6844 take care & stay strong ❤
your videos always makes me feel better w my own OCD everytime, the fact that I'm not alone in this situations and get to know other people problems makes me so motivated to first help myself, knowing there is a way of getting rid of OCD, and courages me to understand and help others more too! I can't thank u enough Nathan.
I have pocd. And its tiring and also its hard because i also get intrusive thoughts that are out of my main theme
OCD loves to switch themes or throw out random things to keep us stuck. As you address a theme, OCD often will shift to something else. The great news is that doing ERP on any theme will help you overcome other themes! The content doesn't actually matter because it is all just OCD - Nathan has videos on that, as well.
@@charm3633is there a way to do ERP alone without a therapist? I wanna try bc I’ve been having issues switching from one theme to another :/ I hope you reply, thanks in advance
The advice given about accepting the core fear works with most themes of OCD but it doesn't work for those with HOCD,POCD or SOCD. I don't know how anyone could accept the uncertainty of their core fear that OCD has created, when it's about harming others, psychically, mentally and sexually. Also, the fear that they may end their own life. I get as humans we should live in the moment and think of now and what control we have right now and not possibly in the future, but I really struggle with those having to accept uncertainty with the above themes, and many people who have these themes think the same.
Also, I found my past health OCD was linked to a big fear of death. Once I received therapy for that I no longer suffer with it. Instead OCD latches onto anything else it can, some being the above mentioned themes and magicak thinking :(
Same here. A taboo theme. It is really hard
Agree
is it just uncurable then???
That’s not true it’s the same you have to stop identifying with those thoughts and understand that any form of acceptance is not necessarily who you are but a way to beat this disease
Unless I’m misunderstanding you I disagree. Saying to yourself “maybe that will happen” doesn’t magically make you do it. If I walk down the street to the grocery store and have a thought/image of knocking a trash can over, I can think wow. I could do that. That would probably cause some repercussions and people would be mad at me. Maybe I am the type of person to knock over trashcans. Instead of ruminating on it, I am going to make a choice. I walk down the street and I don’t knock over the trashcan. I buy my groceries!
I really think it can apply to any type of thought. Replace knocking over a trash can with any type of harm…but that is me personally in my experience.
My ocd went from physical to mental thoughts. It's like a thousand times worse trying to fix a thought, with rituals over and over until you think of something correctly. It's similar to physical, but it's just the combination of both. 43 years trying to overcome this, but im not giving up
Mental Compulsions are sooo tough. Those are the ones I'm still working to overcome because sometimes I don't notice them. Most of the people in my support groups have been able to shake the physical compulsions and are struggling with the mental ones. They're sneakier and sometimes feel automatic, but practicing interrupting them helps.
Don't give up my friend! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
@@ocdandanxiety pls reply to my comment
I would like to see some examples like this about real event ocd. I find it really challenging to come up with exposure strategies for real event. I can’t just “relive” something in the past really, and it’s not like contamination where I can hold a wet pickle and sit with the feelings.
Hello,ERP surely won't help with real event OCD
I suggest you to read the book "How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything,yes anything" by Albert Ellis.Hit me up for more
i genuinely just now realized that i did actually have contamination ocd for a few years! i always thought i didn't have it cause i wasn't afraid of germs, but i still constantly washed my hands due to feeling gross. you learn something new (i don't have contamination ocd anymore but it switched to existental and magical thinking ocd earlier this year 🙄. i don't really have any compulsions atp but i've been struggling with intrusive thoughts, although they keep changing themes too).
Btw, your content has been super helpful and i'm already feeling better!!
Tbh this video was more helpful than I expected. Thanks man, you are an angel
This is a topic I don’t know whether is an OCD symptom or not- but I generally overgeneralise the entire human population to be bad, like they seem vile, selfish, shallow and just plain bad. It is an extremely alienating experience. What is it about?
It's good that you show real video of what it means.
Yep time to hit more on these topics Nathan. Good video sir.
Thanks! I love doing these. I appreciate your feedback!
@@ocdandanxiety pls reply to my comment
I really appreciate all your videos, you really help me so much.
Thank you! Thank you!
@@ocdandanxiety pls reply to my comment
I have existential OCD and I think life isn’t real. A lot of the time and these videos have helped me a lot when I do have those thoughts I just go 100% life isn’t real and I say maybe maybe not a lot so thank you for helping me with that.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it means a lot to me!
@@ocdandanxiety pls reply to my comment
Thank you I have a fear of bad luck
I Am 14 years old. I have been struggling with Hocd for a month now. I have had unwanted intrusive thoughts and anxiety. Then I found out abt Ocd and Hocd. I saw vids to help myself. As told in Nathan's vids I told myself "maybe maybe not" To calm myself now since I am comfortable around these thoughts I sometimes feel that I might be gay Or bi. Since I am only 14 I don't know if its the ocd or that's just who I am. Whenever I look at a man I still get these thoughts and since I am not afraid of these thoughts anymore I get scared. Being gay Or bi just doesn't feel like me. Idk what to do can anyone else my age or older relate?
It sounds like ocd to me! I'd really lean into the maybe maybe not. Really difficult at your age with so many hormones. Society also adds a lot of confusion to this. Take it easy on yourself 😊 You're just fine. The more you worry, the worse it will get. Maybe ;) 😅😊
My therapist went to school with Nathan and she's great and said to use his methods. He's legit. ❤ Also. The compulsion you're participating in is "checking" and I do this. It's a hard one to stop. You "check" by examining how you're feeling or thinking about your thoughts. Brutal.
@@hollydueck7991 thank you holly
Hi Nate! I have been struggling with constant worries of different subjects in life that could actually be risky, like health and legal issues. I like to catastrophize these things, then I think about the solutions, research, try to tell myself it’s ok everything is alright, I feel alright briefly after find a temporary answer, then I start to doubt the answer I found, or start to invent new related issues to worry about. These thoughts are in my head all the time. Is this OCD too? Thank you!
Mine is pure O ,i have a fear that i wont get a job because i dont have a matric certificate, so everything related to the matric certificate is a trigger for me ,my core fear is that i will end up a begger because i dont have a matric certificate
I don’t have ocd but I find your videos interesting and a informative. I genuinely Ike learning about OCD
Thanks so much for learning about OCD. You're awesome!
You are doing so much for us, thank you. ❤
I loved this. It would be awesome if you did another.
Can you touch more on bfrb/trich in the future?
Anyone has fear of the internet? I mean, the permanent nature of it.
I hate to do irreversible things in the internet.
It's like a "fear of being involved".
Somewhat, I have an issue about doing things outside of the house because im convinced that someone is recording and its going to et posted online, even though im only doing simple things like going to the shops. It used to be a fear of being constantly observed but its slowly turned to being filmed as you see all these people being posted on socials without knowing
M suffering from ocd n panic attacks i dont know what normal thinking is m fed up now plz god save me n my family amen
so sorry you are going through this do you have an email or insta where i could reach out. praying
i have contamination OCD and started using gloves for everything to be able to do tasks by myself, then eventually weened them off by removing them for gradually for different things, its now my benchmark for if I'm getting stressed, because the gloves start coming out again for things
I have magical thinking whenever I go out my brain tells something is going to happen at home and I feel anxious and i Start touching things even number times till my brain is relaxed and I feel like running away from everything
Sometimes when everyone are enjoying and I starts getting anxious something is gonna happen and start bitting my hand,poking pen and hurting myself makes me relaxed
You’re the best! Thank you!
Hmm,how interesting. It's sad. He is not saying that cases can be cured with several visits only. Everything is a process. And people with such or similar problems will benefit from a professional assistance,guide. They are not there to judge you,but to listen to you,to talk to you,to give you a help and support help. It's awesome that there is an online course. You can be completely in the comfort of your home,touching your own and clean devices and listening to it. How awesome.As a first step it is a very good decision that you should not hesitate to make in my opinion. I don't know....No pressure of course.
i am feeling the lowest i have ever felt in life.. leaving this comment .. one day i will be successfull enough .. i will definately meet u and thank u
I have soocd or hocd for last 9 months false attraction, arousal, feelings feel exactly real but for last 3 months I’m not feeling anxious, anxiety, distress, nervousness, sadness or etc but still ocd with me and soocd feeling with me
I seem to get the same amount of anxiety right before my kids come back home from their dad. Am I doing something wrong that it continues to happen?
If you do exposure for one subtype of OCD, does this tend to weaken the other subtypes that you may have? Or are they their own individual fears that require separate treatment?
Excellent 👏
Hello,
I would like to contact you for exposure therapy sessions. Where do I go?
A lot more confusing when you have Tourette’s ocd adhd GAD depression agoraphobia and social anxiety
Hey I have a question, is having tics a symptom of anxiety/stress? Because there are months that i don’t think about it and don’t have it at all, but also moments I think about it all the time and it gets worse
What about severe health anxiety
This is the Lord's work here
I feel like I have ten different themes going on lol
Yep, OCD is a determined beast! Tons of people have multiple themes either going on at once, or swapping out on a terrible rotation. Sometimes you'll overcome one and OCD will be like "oh hey, there's always this terrible thing you've never considered before". Thanks, OCD. You're a real d*ck.
The example with the wife telling her husband how stuff should go in the fridge sounds like it might be OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) because it seems like a control thing rather than an anxiety management thing. People with OCPD want things a certain way because to them that is the only valid way to do it, whereas someone with OCD wants things a certain way because they thing doing so avoids some perceived threat. OCPD is ego-syntonic (meaning the person's symptoms align with their values) and OCD is ego-dystonic (their symptoms oppose their values)
EDIT: I commented too soon. I hit play and then Nathan immediately makes the same point LOL
haha. I was actually thinking. Wait....didn't I say that? I was about to go back and watch. You're spot on with OCPD. Thanks for sharing!
Sir i am constantly thinking if i am in hocd or denial i watched your vedios and when i trry to accept the uncertainty and feel better
I just think that i am not feeling anxiety so it must be denial
Why is this 😢??

Hey plss anyone help me.
I am getting unwanted thoughts and I am saying random things about my love. I feel scared that what if I said something wrong about my love and some other girl(u know that thoughts). That just hurts me so much as I love him so much and also trust him so much but unwanted thoughts are coming in my head which make me overthink every day.
This things are happening to me since last 3-4 months first I was overthinking about me and now him.
Plss help me it's making me so confused 🥹.
And is this part of intrusive thoughts.?
