➤Have you had a backdoor spike before? 🤷♂️
Yep! Definitely me right now. My psychiatrist wants me to put my OCD therapy on hold (cuz I had been doing great with it) and get a trauma therapist. Told this to my OCD therapist and she made me suddenly fire her that day as one last exposure when I wasn’t expecting it haha. Now my OCD is screaming that I’m a fraud and saying I really don’t need a trauma therapist, cuz I’d just waste their time. OCD is such a silly friend.
definitely.. I often feel like I'm a fraud and that my erp and my good days were just a distraction from "the truth"... gotta just say maybe i guess.. whew..
Yup.. dupes me every time and then when I finally realize it’s still ocd (which can sometimes take anywhere from weeks to months) I act surprised lol especially when it changes themes
Right now ! And I go down again ufffff
I can relate to all of this. When these spikes happen, I start doubting my wife and my relationship with her, over and over; boy it’s hard to stay strong, but I know I can’t give up!
Don't give up! Great advice! Keep it going!
i hadn’t had symptoms for months, and was the happiest i’d been in forever. now i feel like i’m back to square one and feel like i’ll never be happy again. all the obsessions are back and worse than ever :(
I'm sorry to hear this. People rarely get back to where they were. Keep working toward treatment...things get better!
Omg I’m in this situation right now I was so happy
@@veecardenas9203 it’s gonna be alright! if you could be as happy as you were before, then it can certainly be restored again :)
@@cadenceroy6686 thanks I appreciate hearing that
How are you now cadence roy
oh my gosh I thought my therapist was lying to me when she said that was normal. it really validated my feelings that I was causing my own OCD and lying to myself.
unrelated question but are you (secretly) Hayley Williams? Your picture looks like Alf the dog is all 😂 also- hope you’re doing okay with your ocd x
This is life changing this response to anxiety and scary thoughts has helped me so much! I appreciate it so much! Welcoming the anxiety and going along with it helps calm down the anxiety soooo much I used to always try and stop my thoughts and it made it worse. Thank you so much words can't express how much I appreciate it
Dont worry about regressions guys , use it as a learning process
It never comes back as strong when u have the knowledge
Thank you so much for all you do! Seriously people like you are what we need in society. I’ve battled with anxiety and depression since a kid but never really knew there were different types and categories. I came across your vids, and although anxiety is still a battle, your vids definitely help me get through! 🙏🏾❤️
You're awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words!
I am having a back door spike right now and did not know what was happening…. Many thanks!
Thank you for posting yet another incredible OCD video! So grateful for your channel!
Absolutely, That happens to me. Thank you for always guiding us to a better day and a brighter future. Thank you for doing what you do!!!!!
You are the best therapist ive heard of! you're so calm and you have helped my intrusive thoughts so much! your like magic! thanks so much! keep up the great work!
Thank you for these videos. I had a very bad backdoor spike a few days ago and I had a big setback in my progress. Happy to know it's normal and that I can treat it with ERP
You got this! Thanks for sharing!
I got a few bad rejections from these job recruiters, and I found myself regressing back into my OCD. I didn’t stop my ERP, I got a little careless, and then I felt like I didn’t want to try anymore. I stumbled onto this video while surfing through CZcams trying to motivate myself. Thanks for putting this together, it gave me the advice I needed.
Omg I didn’t know I needed this I was feeling better today and I got scared what if the next day My anxiety will drag me down. So I cried at work but ur video popped up.
I'm so glad this helped you my friend!!
Hey Clarissa, yes I guess body kinda keeps a score so every thought becomes oh this has happened in the past oh not again etc to the level of hopelessness ! Can you relate how do you come out of it
Thank’s for your work ! Straight Straight from Brazil !!
Oh Brazil! Thanks for your support!
Your videos are so helpful .. thank you so much !! You have help me so much to learn to deal with my anxiety
I am do glad I could help you!
You are great Man!
Thank you for your videos mate!!! :)
You are really helpful, sir.
So nice of you!
It can definitely come back. Did well for 15yrs then I moved, pandemic hit and lost a loved one. It’s a struggle have to keep doing therapy
Thanks for sharing! That pandemic is so difficult! I hope things are going well for you!
You went 15 years well that's amazing as hell. I had ocd HOCD for the first time because of this pandemic
How are you now Kristy !
Describing my exact situation
Most accurate thumbnail Ever ! Lol
Anxiety: Remember me?
I've come to believe that OCD doesn't go away - it's a chronic disease that I deal with every day. I have some bad days when the symptoms of my chronic disease are more acute and some days when I don't feel the symptoms at all. Either way, the treatment is the same - for me that means daily medication and therapies like the ones taught by Nathan. With that combo, I win way more than I lose.
It's chronic but symptoms come down. I've had a laspe after 15 year's of no symptoms. I lost someone close to me and I think that's what triggered it
Losing an extremely close family member caused my OCD to come out full throttle.
Currently in a spike... how did i get out of this before?! 😭
Yes I have it got to the point where I had to compulsively tell my self (or imagine telling someone) why I am ok. Or loike, I am realizing stuff more, but then it makes me remind myself over; "Oh this is why this is happening" "Because you got this sensation back which is good". Of course I don't want to not realize stuff but, I think when ye constantly remind ye self or that realization or anything loike that, it becomes a compulsion. OCD also makes me forget stuff as well so that's why I remind myself constantly, of so many things :/. I am getting better or just at this moment, not doing anything not even saying the "Maybe, Maybe not" statements. Cause if I know, I know why do I have to say those things if I am ok ye know?
Hi Nathan, Your videos are great. Can you please do one on anxiety medications? SSRIs and benzos? How essential are these for OCD treatment? Current belief is combination of medication and exposures work best. Yout insights would be very useful as there seems to be so much confusion about medications.
Yes! For sure. I typically refer to the iocdf medication page.
GOD bless you abundantly brother ❤️✝️📣
You too!
Currently me. 3 years of relief. Now its back but thankfully its not as ”loud” as it was before because of the tools ive learned.
yooo lmaoo, it’s crazy that AS IM GOING THROUGH THIS…BOOM i get this recommendation
I can go half days without ocd, making progress! before it was every 10 min. my main problem is that I blame my wife for my ocd and then I realised this in itself is part of the ocd. my poor wife :(
Just keep fighting ur ocd. If u succeed, then ur wife is happy and YOU can actually make her even more happy because that's when you havereally stable mental health
I was feeling pretty well regarding a lot of my obsessive thoughts; I’ve been handling them for years without much issue, largely thanks to a medication which was a total godsend for me, but also because of help from my very kind new therapist. Then a few nights ago, I read something online which hit me like a left hook and now I can feel my head starting to buzz again. I’m very scared. I was doing better and even heading towards the precipice of something good, and now I’m worried that I’ll backslide a decade have to start all over. The medicine is helping to keep it at bay for now, and I’m going to talk to my psychologist about it next session next week. Hopefully I can push through it. Is it possible I’m experiencing what you’re describing here?
ive had a backdoor spike like 2 weeks ago and it sucks. i was doing so well and it just came out of nowhere! but i am still actively doing erp, so i am hoping for best!
Backdoor spikes have the popular feature:
- you make it subconscious
- unquestionable, taboo
- overwhelming and hopeless attachments waiting for others creating enmeshment
Yeah, started happening to me recently after going through recovery I would get massive spikes usually after spending time outside with my family
This just happened to me today.
Hey! I had HOCD for long but after long, the anxiety and thoughts are going down quite a bit but I feel scared that maybe I am changing because no thoughts, no anxiety, etc. I also don’t feel the need to do many compulsions? Does this mean I’m getting better?
No, it can't change you. I know what you mean, I don't feel anxiety at intrusive thoughts and that worries me
The algorithm is a little too good with this one, I had been feeling better than I have in my entire life and doing so well with my recovery and now I’m suddenly experiencing 3 obsessions at the same time to the point I’m feeling suicidal and not sleeping hope it gets better before college starts 💪 any comforting words are appreciated ❤️
When I have those spikes I do get the anxiety and it makes me go to the bathroom, I feel nervous. So what I do I take a deep breath do the things I have learned here and Nocd. Let everything come in feel and not answer any questions and sticking with the May be or May be not's and go on with the day. Thank you again.
I love the maybe, maybe not! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Julio that's nice. My spike came back and my anxiety was so bad that it turns into insomnia easily and my eyes become exhausted like in a day and the fear of again going the same way makes it worse again ! How did you combat
I need serious help, I’m worried that I’m going to feel like this forever. Is there a place I can email you?
Hey is there anyway I can contact you?
I suffer from Scrupulosity OCD.
Please if there is anyway I can contact you please let me me know.
Could you please make a video about Swallowing OCD. Fear of others hearing me swallowing. At first it happens to me when people are nearby, and in quiet places. But then it gets worse and haunts me day and night, and even when I'm alone with no one around. It has haunted me for almost 20 years. Thank you so much
Yes! I can do this. Do you think it's related to misophonia? I need to make a video on this.
@@ocdandanxiety I don't think it's related to misophonia. I'm afraid I would embarrass myself because people hear or see me swallow. But the more I thought about it, the more saliva flowed out, making me swallow continuously.
@@sanztos4595 no one minds you swallowing
Sir i have seen one video about your son and jelly fish, in that video did you said our fears will actually happen?? Please reply pls
I have a question! I’ve had little no anxiety for almost 2 years and it got triggered about a week or 2 ago and I’m not sure how to handle it. Back when my anxiety wasn’t as bad and I had little to no anxiety, I decided to go to the gym to lose weight and start working to make more money. Now that my anxiety is back I have little to no interest in anything. Sometimes I feel like I want to call out of work to take a break and I missed a week of the gym. But would it be wise for me to continue working and going to the gym like I did before my anxiety decided to spike. Currently my anxiety is about (fear of anxiety again) idk if that makes sense. Basically feeling like I’m going to be reliving the past on how my anxiety was crippling and I had negative thought consuming me and that it’s going to happen again. Idk how to accept it like. I did used to have negative thoughts when my anxiety wasn’t acting up but they would come and go and I was able to brush them off and not think about it again but now that my anxiety is acting up ik I have to accept it but do I have to force my negative thoughts to come out in order to feel better? While doing ERT do I have to genuinely believe my anxiety has returned or Do I have to believe my negative thoughts or allow them to consume me like they did in the past in order to accept my anxiety ?
God im having this at the moment !!! Its so annoying
Could you please do a swallowing ocd video? It's causing me to be afraid to drink water and interfering with my eating.
Yes totally. I'm wondering if this is in the category of sensorimotor OCD. I'll make one on this specifically.
Everytime I have the anxiety I question whether this is real or not 😭
A little derealization. Very common anxiety/stress symptom. You'll be ok! 💛
Cbt or erp?
Which one I should go for
Happens on dates, after the first 10min i realize im doing well engaging w her and then the spike shows up and i panic that its back, what if i fail completely, then i cant refocus on the moment and then it collapses. I go from the best feeling to the worst feeling. And then i get furious inside abt this huge loss of happiness and want to murder the ocd.
Same. Every moment again is a play of is it compulsion and just the feeling of this anxiety/ocd is there not going away makes every moment an OCD again !
I was wondering if someone with ocd can overcome it without talking to anyone about it or seeking a professional help?
It’s best to get professional help. But if you can’t, research erp on the internet and use it. This channel is good. You must practice and practice erp and it can help you massively. Exposure response prevention
Could you please talk about Rabies OCD, for me, It's extremely tough to overcome, unlike other OCD I have faced ....
Personally, ERP for 5 days, and I feel like they threat me like I will die from Rabies within 6 weeks, of course I remember I wasn't exposed to dog, but I realize what if the dog unnoticely lick me, and at that moment I might have a wound. I prevent this by taking rabies vaccine (PrEP), but still unsure that PrEP will fully protect me from Rabies,
My scariest threat is when I have rabies and how my family would feel, seeing me dying :(
(Day 5)
How are you doing now?
how to stop verbal compulsions?
Depends on if this is a tic or a verbal compulsion such as saying things out loud like a prayer.
Please help
I am having obsession that ...
OMG I HAVE OCD ! OH NO 😢
it's getting me mad '
👍🏼
Yeah, have been passing through this nasty matter recently. I used to have sexual intrusive thoughts and, with some ERP, was getting tuned with them. Now, am feeling awkward again that, I don't panick or get annoyed like before when the intrusive pictures appear. But ain't I supposed to feel abhorrence to them? Am I then approving them!! Oh, what a disgust!!!
You are still in the ocd loop , normally you wouldn’t worry with that at all you wouldn’t even think about needing to feel that way. You are doing something wrong
Same! i was doing much better. But I had no anxiety over these thoughts. Googled and went down back again.
Yesterday i got backdoor spike and suddenly things chages again i doubt myself its difficult but overcome sooner
How you now buddy
@@Ashish-nd3xj sometimes i have normal life sometimes i triggered but i am improving remember the golden rule accept thought. Dont try to solve anything say yes and fully agree with jt no matter what it say to you
