    I like to think of OCD as an annoying passenger in my car. He can shout at me, belittle me, give me faulty directions all he wants, but I'm the one at the wheel and I'm the one in control.

      @Leetowners 11 дней назад

      @@Wkumar07it is hard to ignore because if you try to push the thoughts away it intensifies
      Your job is to respond in a way that ocd does not want to respond to you
      For example what i use for myself are reminders
      I always remind myself what i have learned from what ocd does itself
      And use it against ocd to weaken it
      And i know it's easier said than done
      Sometimes i get anxiety and my thought spirals back
      But i am learning and improving better each day
      And you can too ❤
      I have been diagnosed with severe ocd
      And i started experiencing pocd symptoms after a traumatic event when i found out one of my best friends (ex friend now) liked (you know)
      And especially with so many people making false accusations or calling me false buzz words
      I genuinely started believing them
      To put it simply
      Ocd makes you believe something that isn't true and creates a story to make you doubt it
      There is no reason to fight back these thoughts because it will just be a never ending battle because of something called the ocd cycle
      I wish you good luck on your journey and i wish you all the best ❤

    "It will never be enough"
    I say that to myself whenever I start to insanely ruminate or try to replay memories in my mind. Or after I get reassurance I'll still find a way to worry about the same thing I just did a compulsion on. This phrase helps me realize it will never be enough to fi ally get a clear answer.

    After watching the majority of your videos
    I now know that this isn’t who i am
    It's just my ocd fearing of who i could be
    When i know that the intrusive thoughts don't align with my morals
    And ocd treats it as facts
    When they are just lies
    Thank you ❤
    You are a lifesaver and the reason i can sleep comfortable at night
    Knowing deep down i am a good person and that these thoughts do not bother me 🎉

    A lot of your suggestions like:
    Maybe, maybe not. (This one took a while because I would start rationalising but now I know to just end it with that).
    Thanks, brain, what a cool thought. I'm loving this.
    Also just saying - cool cool cool - a bunch of time and just continuing on with my life.
    Also saying this is fine and all but can we maybe do this later, brain? I'm kinda busy.
    And there's one I remind myself even when I'm not experiencing thoughts - I am not my thoughts, I am not my brain, I am not my body.
    Another thing that's been extremely helpful is not drinking caffeine.

    Retired NHS psychotherapist here. I like this clip. Just to add, it could be intrusive images, feelings ( felt sense) etc. If you feel anxiety that is the default setting that your thoughts etc are egodystonic ( opposite your character).Otherwise it wouldn't be upsetting. Ritualistic mantra type phrases require modifying. I've found just changing one word in the phrase starts to split up the compulsion for the patient. I also
    demonstrated behaviours that patients found fearful/ aversive. So allowing modelling and social learning to help with erp. I did some bizarre things, but I'd draw the line at licking a toilet seat, though.😮

  • @johandeen6096
    @johandeen6096 15 дней назад

    How would this work for physical sensations where no actual thoughts are occurring in the moment? For example, I'm feeling dizzy all the time because I'm mentally focussing on it (I don't want to be dizzy). So I can go to work and do all the stuff but in the meantime I still focus on the dizziness and along as I focus on it it's there. But there are no actual thoughts going on like "this needs to go" it's more like something in the back on my mind if that makes sense.

And i keep on thinking those embarrassing stuffs which I do in my past, I'm questioning myself why did I do that? I don't wanna think about it's just wasting my time. Thinking about those stuffs whole day is useless. I don't know is this ocd or what? Pls these thoughts are literally haunting me. I'm tierd of it. I'm so helpless now😭

    TRIGGER WARNING FOR THOSE WITH OCD I’M ABOUT TO MENTION MY OBSESSION. So I have a question, my OCD has been in remission for years but recently the very first obsession I had has come back up which is “what if you can’t socialize normally anymore and you freeze during social situations and have nothing to say, and then people will dislike you and think you’re weird” I tried not to react to the thought but did respond with a bit of anxiety. What do I do about the OCD symptoms? This thought is relentless during social situations and i’m actually starting to freeze now and can’t think of anything to say and then I panic more. it’s like my obsession is coming true and it’s painful because I also have social anxiety and I’ve been making progress so this really has me stuck.
