To your point at the end there. I myself have put a lot of effort in showing that I am in fact recovered from sensorimotor ocd through confrontation style self therapy. I used to actively seek and engage with posters on CZcams various sense ocd vids who got no answer (filter to new messages first) besides little talks here and there there were a bunch of active mega threads that were pretty much me and the new next person coming into the thread working through it. Alot of hours and mixed results (or you just dont know what happened) Anyway, I myself didnt have the impression that there were many folks doing it like that either. So I'd often say something like 'if my words help you get out, return and help someone else' I think the reason that not a lot of 'recovered' people return is fear that "it" somehow returns. Their sollution, recovery is often brittle. It is uncomplete. Maybe its more like their ocd has decreased to low level not too intrusive compulsions and they are 'fine' there. But the fear is still present.
Hey do u have any social media where we can have a one on one chat about your sensorimotor ocd recovery? Don't be Afraid I'm not going to talk hopelessly or negatively i have got loads of hopes and I'm looking forward for a decent one on one free conversation with someone who has been recovered from this disorder if u do have sometime and willing to help the needy:) it's ok if u don't want to
@@change4better326 with ERP type strategies...confronting triggers, no distraction/compulsions. Do what stressed me out the most until the stress was gone.. Some people on this channel say Erp is not necessary for sensorimotor though cause your exposed anyway....but it helped me a great deal.
@@change4better326 though wether you choose a confronting or a more soft approach it's important to be non compulsive...identify what you do to distract or to make yourself 'feel better' and stop doing those things. They only make it worse...
@@dco1019 Watching these videos 24/7 on repeat has become my life since the past two days since this blinking fear has latched. Its like the only thing that makes me not aware of my blinking 24/7 and i know mental compulsions also keep it latched so i want to ask after quitting watching anything ocd related until im no longer afraid or aware of my blinking, what can i do on the mental side.
i was ocd free for several years and its come back with a vengeance (harm ocd) and has stuck for over a year it also was followed by severe depression, nothing seems to be working..... any advice would be really appreciated
The recurring problem with (any) ocd is the methods (compulsions, rituals) we use to get rid of obsessions. In case of thought you probably try to deny and combat your thoughts or fill your headspace with 'other stuff' and avoid, distract from your intrusive thinking, fail > repeat... go round and round. This means only pain.... For effective recovery you dont get rid of anything. Instead you should attempt to slowly but surely change the relation you have with the things you think or do. I've had many ocds..also harm ocd. And even though I still think horrible things (like wtf stuff lol) I've worked towards a mind state where I am okay. I can think what I want it's my mind...negative stuff just bubbles up from my subconscious and that's fine. Though I find it tough to give specific advice as 'do this and that' You have to change your mind about it....admit some things to yourself...leave room for some dark negative part of yourself being 'like that' even though the core good etc
I used to think I was weird but then I always was one to weigh my intentions. I was never doing it on purpose. So I knew I was innocent and misunderstand and thinking something in a feeding itself kind of way. But I always got relief from knowing I wasn't doing it on purpose, like I'm all wrong & how could I be this way. I wasn't doing it on purposed, who would? It was my saving grace for not hating my self completely although I hated my body for being the conduit of the sensations. And all it was doing was obeying my thought cycle that I was in danger. I can tell my body now that I've got it, there's no danger. It is slowly starting to believe the opposite given that I gave it a pretty convincing story that I was always in danger!

No fear no ocd?
No fear of the sensation or no fear of the content yes.
No irrational/dogmatic/demanding fear
😇👍👍👍
