What are you going to do to keep your OCD hostage? 🤪

@kr1zm1tchell50 3 роки тому

I'm four months into ERP/recovery work , thoughts still come but anxiety has mostly reduced. The video is spot on, as you do ERP OCD changes its storylines to try keep you in fear, but no matter what it tells you just do ERP for it. As you get stronger and anxiety reduces OCD then twists the story to, you have the thoughts but your not anxious so that must mean that the thoughts are real ... This is where I'm at now, it is hard but as Nathan says you just have to keep doing ERP even for the "what if it's not OCD" OCD. Hopefully one day soon I'll finally beat this thing. But I can honestly say this video is very very accurate as to how OCD works. Keep up the excellent work you do for us Nathan. Thank you.

@okiedokie4748 3 роки тому

Fantastic video! I completely agree. Even as I write this, my OCD is hitting me with thoughts that make me feel very uncomfortable, trying to keep me hostage to it's tortuous ways. But again, after seeing this video, I just had to smile because of how much myself and I'm sure others with OCD can relate to this. It's amazing how our "OCD minds" can get creative at keeping us wrapped up in fear, hard to escape it's grasp. It's the combination of both the intellectual part mixed with the dynamic depths of emotion that make OCD so damn convincing. It creates almost an alternate, convincing reality which is part of why people that don't really understand mental illness (in this case OCD) can fully understand what's happening. If it was so easy not to do this, or don't worry about that, etc etc etc.... People wouldn't even know what the term OCD is, because it wouldn't exist. Anyways, love your videos. Great stuff man! Very helpful!! Thank you. :D

@amandabucci6162 3 роки тому

Sometimes it feels like getting better from my ocd is scary because it makes me feel like I'll be losing a big piece of me! Or losing my identity! I've identified with perfection for so long and felt as though I was able to achieve perfection in most parts of my life for years (which makes me question if I even have ocd) but as the years went on, after high school real life set in and things happened, such as, I became overweight for the first time in my life, I lost alot of hair from trichotillomania, I didnt end up going to college like i thought...and so nothing felt perfect anymore or the way I thought it would be. OCD really hates to accept change. It makes me hate myself when things dont the way I want them to.

@zebrazippy 2 роки тому

I have heard that the key is to do the exposure as long as it takes for your anxiety level to peak. After that it will start to come down, and that's when your brain will start to learn that all that anxiety isn't needed. This is way easier said than done but I hope it helps, God bless

Sometimes I wonder endlessly if it's not just my intuition telling me to listen. But then, I'm afraid.

Then I think, well, I should have listened to the warning signal. But sometimes, it IS just imagination.

To anyone else severely struggling I hope you can healthily distract yourself, that’s what I’m practicing!

Isn't exposing yourself to the urges the only way to treat tourettic OCD? If ERP didn't work, what methods did you use? Would you say that ERP is the best way to treat tourettic ocd? Thanks.
