These videos are like therapy for me and others Im pretty sure, thank you.
"If I manually stop breathing I'm gonna pass out and die" ---That's exactly what my intrusive thought try to make me think and feel. When somatic OCD first had its grip on me, sleeping is difficult and takes actual effort. Now I can sleep without much issue. I probably have OCD since along time ago, but I didn't realize what it was because I always thought that OCD is more to fixation on doing physical tasks over and over or excessive cleanliness. In the past, I used to be so anxious about many things but I either manage to cope with it, or it already done irreversible damages before it went away. Breathing OCD is something I only get earlier this year but thanks to this channel, I find my condition improving every day.
Very common! I had to break down the fear of losing control.
Im really happy that you've been debunking the myth around radical acceptance in your latest videos!
Absolutely theres no easy or short way around acceptance, you have got be patient and show persistence,in fact the recovery is all about patiently following the tools needed each day slowly and without much thinking about the results
Absolutely Skew! It's a myth that held me back for a while. I believe even non-sufferers can't just radically accept their core fears even if there is no strong emotional disturbance.
My existential has morphed from simulation, solipsism, to just being hyper aware and confused in general on consciousness and how tf I’m even here living, meaning of life etc. I feel like I cannot see the world the same and it makes me so depressed - then anxious. Yesterday I researched philosophical theories, would this be exposure or compulsion?
I’m a single mom and for 2 months now Iv been in constant dread over this stuff, I have a fear of suicide but I’m also always thinking “I can’t live like this forever” and I get more depressed. I can’t even go to the store without looking at everyone wondering how they’re here or how I’m interacting. I just want to go back to being blissfully ignorant to this shit.
Hey Courtney - I would imagine the way you're researching is compulsive. You'll want to lean into the uncertainty, the sensation itself, as you break down the core fear surrounding the cycle.
@@aguywhohikes1271 I think the core fear is surrounding my loved ones. That’s definitely what spiked the very first panic attack. A big thing for me right now is just “how did I never question reality or consciousness before” like it’s always been uncertain and always will be but never bothered me until now?? Now it’s all I can think about. I feel like it’s also a lot like sensorimotor in the sense where exposures are everything. Making food, talking, engaging with other people etc.
This was my very first OCD theme, and main one till this day also, Existencialism as a whole and just being hyperaware over my thoughts, life, consciouness, and honestly my OCD as a whole. And i can defenetly relate to thinking and asking myself, " how did I never thought about this" and then feeling really scared and overall zoned out/ disconected to everything. All I have to say is Dont't worry too much about it for now, it will make think that you'll be always in that state for the rest of your life, but just like in my case over time it's affect will start to decrease and not have that much of an impact in our lives, and ironiclly at this moment I'm kind of having a setback and feeling overral confused and scared to be disconected again, and this is happening almost 2 years later after my OCD started, but honestly I'm not giving it that much attention, like yeah it sucks being like this and doubting everything, but it's not the end of the world, for me, right now it' s a hot sunny day and I'll probably just go for a walk or something and live the rest of my day as if I was in my normal state. So really hang in there and slowly you'll be back to seing things in a calmer way!
Yea for me it started in 2020 I had a fear of living forever and it would never end and eventually it went away but recently in May it came back but it was sensorimotor ocd like focusing on saliva then my heartbeat and pulses in body now it's all I can focus on but knowing other people deal with this and thoughts I have I feel better almost like I can overcome this and recently the past few days I've been able to feel like my old self and it feels good I know I still have a long road ahead but it's worth trying then giving up
Awesome video Nick!!!
You're awesome! (Momin is NOT awesome)
These types of videos are really confusing and makes med wonder what way i should take in recovery, because it challenges basics i have learnt.
Great video Nick!
