Sam, this is exactly where I am - "Rock Bottom". I've had an horrendous month or so and the last 5 days have been the absolute worst, culminating in a panic inducing event today at work. The words you use to describe how bad you felt, could have been written by me today - the immediate morning anxiety, the uncomfortable feelings, the tears, the depression, no interest etc etc - that's all me right now. I'm currently watching this video for the 2nd time to help me fully digest your tips and points. Thank you for doing this and for giving me and others hope that this can get better.
Sorry to hear you’re struggling Kevin. We’ve all been there and there is so much hope! I hope the video has helped 😊
Thank you so much for this. After struggling with ocd for 13 years, I've finally hit rock bottom. It feels like you took the words right out of my mouth- I relate to your suffering in an extremely similar way, feeling like you're telling my life story right now. So to see that you've made a recovery this strong is so beautiful and encouraging to see. So many thanks
Phoenix I am sure Sam will love to hear this!
Phoenix, you’re very welcome and thank you! 😊
Thank you Sam! You have answered my questions !! I am starting to get perspective shifts more and more now and really learning why each one is so important. I have never had a recovery program like this and I thank you all. Back in the day I had 'therapists' tell me to snap a rubber band on my wrist when I got a bad thought! I have no time frame to recover now and know through my hard work I will recover properly at long last❤
I am going to take this technique except snap it over Rob's head lmao. But in all seriousness this is amazing to hear!
Great to hear Louise. You’re on the right track now 💪🏻
🤣
You are doing great and helpful content Sam, please continue!)
Thanks so much 😊
These videos are very helpful thank you
Great to hear 😊
So helpful Sam!!!!
I’m glad you find it helpful 😊
It was super difficult to do at first, but mindfulness meditation exercises helped me over time. The book "30 Days to Stop Obsessing" by Harper Daniels has good exercises to use. It took a while, but looking back, I'm in a much better place.
Difference between memory and imagination and how we rationally know we are imagining stuff but still our emotional brain goes into what ifs
Hey Krat - unfortunately we won't be able to figure this out, uncertainty is key here.
Awesome stuff sam!!
Thanks Nick 💪🏻
Dude I love that shirt. I WANT IT
False memory is really eating me up!

A theme I know all too well! There’s so much hope 💪🏻
I keep ruminating on the past. Counting back on the calendar, asking myself did I add anyone I shouldn’t have on snap etc or did I disengage with anyone who was not the age appropriate. It started over someone lying about their age to me years ago.
Hey Dylan - you can break this down by moving towards acceptance of mistakes and how our behaviors don’t define good and bad people. You can get there.
Did the anxiety ever affect your appetite?
Sam, you should have left the shirt in Thailand.
🤣🤣🤣
Was your real event/false memory latched to harm at all? 😭 that is my current situation
Yes something I know all too well! There is so much hope 💪🏻
@@samwilliams837 really!! Gosh I sure hope so
