By shifting the focus away from my illness, starting to work as a general dental practitioner after wasting 4 precious years of my life just after graduating, I am now well onto the road of OCD recovery. As long as I've focused too much into my own illness & kind of dissected my own illness, things did not improve. It has been more than 3 months now that I am working, OCD is still very much there but now I don't either have time to fully engage with my obssessions & even if I do, I don't yield to my OCD immedaitely like earlier by engaging in compulsions at the dental clinic. Life is slowly changing, but I am still very limited at home, have started ERP at home. There's no avoidance now but a lot of accomodation. Difficult to work on my OCD at home but trying.
@@shilpajain8971 Thanks for this, very relateable. I've wasted the past 4 years of my life on OCD and just got dismissed from PT school because I spent more time on compulsions than studying. I've been more intentional about my recovery lately and hope to be functional soon
@@Jay_CW Your intentions & willingness will help you in being completely functional soon. Honestly, the pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting your work again. My love for dentistry keeps me going no matter how hard OCD tries to take me back. So, please productively utilise your energy & time in doing what you love. Also, please seek proper OCD treatment. Medicines certainly help in taking an edge off but CBT specially ERP teaches how to face our fears. Though ERP is frustrating but it is equally rewarding. One of the hallmarks of my psychotherapy is that it gave me an opportunity to learn about the benefits of feeling my emotions fully. Something most of us don’t get taught while we are growing into adulthood. We should let ourselves grieve for the loss that OCD has caused to us instead of blaming ourselves. I used to self-blame a lot for the time lost but it's OCD which isolated me completely, made me disabled. But very slowly persistence is helping me in learning to live with OCD. I am sure we both will be able to live a meaningful life (with OCD which will always be with us in the background). All the best👍
@@shilpajain8971 Yeah I just started another round of therapy and I'm going to try medication soon. I appreciate the insight and kind words. Wishing you the best as well✊
I had been diagnosed with OCD about 4 years ago. I was 11, I was a bit confused why my brain was torturing me and I was scared of disagreeing with it cause it felt so real. It took me till the December of last year to finally start beating it up. I have made crazy progress thanks to Nate he’s an angel. I just learned one thing believe in yourself and do not care about what your brain says is gonna happen *JUST DO IT* it hurts but it’s the only way start agreeing where it doesn’t want you to. Make it mad make yourself feel weird and anxious good that’s progress. Anyway HAVE A GOOD LIFE, LOVE YOU GUYS. Hope you recover soon.❤️
Thank you this it really helped I'm recovering by God's grace, my symptoms became very less for the past few days and I feel I will recover soon Thanks and your words really help. God bless you 💖
Hi can you help me?? Can i overcome more than one OCD compulsions or thoghts per day?? How many you are doing per day and can i just never engaige in a OCD thoght or its better to do it day by day??
I am so happy after idk how many years of suffering badly with ocd I exposed myself to my fears(ERP) and now the thing does not give me panic attacks any more it just gives me a little bit anxiety but nothing more than that. ERP has been so so tough for me but I am glad I did it and because of which my anxiety doesn’t bother me like it used to. I would ask everyone out there to perform ERP while doing ERP once you will feel like it’s the end of the world and after that you will not pay attention to it anymore. It works really well.
Thank you so much. When I struggle with intrusive thoughts, I just don’t fight it. I found that they actually decreased or did not affect me as much as they had before.
I was diagnosed almost a year and a half ago. I struggled with many subtypes, and I would say I reduce my ocd symptoms by 80%. I’ve learned that symmetry and just right are my weakest points. I’m ok with living with that. I will continue to work on these two. But overall dealing with those couple of things versus the plethora beforehand. I feel so much more free. 🙂
Gosh am so done with my ocd… every single day there’s a new accusation followed by anxiety and panic… I can’t even spend time with the ones I love because I know something will come up during the conversation and trigger my ocd cycle , I can’t study anymore, it’s been more than a year and the themes keep changing , I cry myself to sleep every night and when I’m alone it’s even worse.. dealing with this surely sucks.. I can’t even share it with anyone bcs I’ve already troubled my parents w my confessions and now the themes are getting darker and shameful for me to sven share … idk god just save me from this bs.. im losing parts of me every single day… even rn im scared of what to do cuz my mind accused me of smthing really bad and wants me to confess to my mom but im to scared urghh
This is a question I have because I've had OCD symptoms for most of my life, but I started going to therapy just under a year ago and got a diagnosis, and have finally been facing it directly. I've found channels like this to help me in my journey, and I'm glad to say that, though it hurts to face directly, I'm making progress in actually taking control!
@Samia Honestly? Under control! Took a while, took guidance, prayer, good therapy, and a 6 month run of medication (citalopram), but! Now I'm unmedicated, no longer need regular therapy sessions (though I intend to check in a few times a year just to check up), and I really am living a lot better. Now, it isn't gone, and I still get spikes of anxiety or irrational fears. But the difference is, I know how to ride it out now, how to better control my response to the feeling, not to avoid normal life or fun activities!
@Samia And the techniques really work! Everyone's a little different, but the technique that worked best for me is delaying my compulsions. Even for a minute or so at a time at first, but with big worries, I often try to think "Okay, If I'm still worried about this in three days, then I'll do something about it," and usually it starts to fade throughout the day. And once you get experience realizing these feelings usually pass... it gets easier each time. Keep at it!
I have learned a lot from OCD over the years, and it is fascinating to see that others may be familiar with some things that i felt that I was perhaps all alone with.
Recovery is in your hands when you work hard to make the process of recovery, you will recover, Nathan Peterson is right. ERP is a life saver not only in OCD but also in personal life ERP is the way to recover just do the recovery process and do ERP, ... I experience HARM OCD ihave a lot of many many intrusive and some OCD themes and all I do is I just do STOP RUMINATION, COMPULSION and do ERP and just keep doing the recovery work ... and now ifeel better and better overtime. just keep pushing you will recover! its hard but it is worthit! DEDICATION + HARDWORK = RECOVERY! I'm crying while watching this video T_T
I think I'm going crazy. It's only getting worst. I'm currently a PSW and work in long-term care. I am terrified I'll get a disease, everything is contaminated. I overthink everything. A thought will just pop in my head and that's it I'm paronoid.
Nathan could you do a video about PTSD OCD? It's when you have ptsd about something, and when you do things to avoid that thing. It's a mix of ptsd, anxiety and ocd. For example, if you live with a family/spouse that was involved in the ptsd event, you are constantly ruminating "will it happen again? Got to lock my door, are they having a bad day? Will they get mad at me? Got to take some supplements so I don't have ptsd, I'm not going to talk to them today". It's hard to tackle this because it's a mix of like 3 different anxiety disorders.
i started doing erp in august 2021 and since that i can say that i have improved so much! sure, resisting rumination is still hard but i did it today!!
Hey you’re truly amazing for posting those helpful videos, I can’t afford therapy and Im struggling financially. I have IBS and currently doing ERP myself, my OCD is focused on my behind being dirty and convincing myself that something came out, I am hyper aware of my private body parts and get false sensations and disturbing images. it would be extremely helpful if you could give me a way or ideas or any tips on how to do ERP with this case. I went to a therapist a few months ago and got diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and having suicidal thoughts and I couldn’t continue because I can’t afford it. It would really mean the world to me if you could give me some tips on how to deal with this specific obsession and do ERP💔
I won't be able to get CBT until the end of the year because I am on the waitlist for germs contamination OCD. I try to not wash my hands alot on my own, but it is hard. I am going to keep fighting though.
I had a flair up recently after four years, but I I’ve felt so good and normal this week with little to no symptoms that today I started questioning if it was normal for flair ups or ocd episodes to be this short and that maybe it wasn’t ocd after all and actually my fear/obsession. I was also looking back to my previous episodes and how they’d last for weeks or months, and that the crisis being so short meant it wasn’t ocd. Watching this eased the anxiety I was starting to feel. That alone means me doubting this IS ocd. I am feeling better and I could send myself spiraling again if I feed the little doubts that come with recovery. If you google how long episodes last for ocd you get months to years. I still wonder if it’s normal for an episode to be this short..
I've been stuck here for 18 years. I only started ERP in group therapy over the last few months, on a list to get 1:1 therapy soon. I think I'd have been somewhat better by now if I knew and had access to ERP.
I have had OCD since I was 5 or 6 .I didnt know it was a mental disorder back then.I had a lot of the subtypes,especially superstitious OCD ,felt like an alien was ordering me around while sitting in my brain.Telling me to start walking with my right foot at certain point,if i dont then i will have to correct my mistake by doing it twice or thrice and keeping count of everything ,feeling like the smallest mistake will change some kinda "balance" of the world,bad things will happen and it will all be my fault.Though the alien concept changed to getting messages from God and then changed to devil and yeah just stuff.It was agitating ,ebery second was like that.Then there was a pressure of studying with passion to impress my mom but then the worst intrusive thought would take over"if u study,your mom dies" and i would be like ....oh well mom is going to get hurt both ways so to convince my "thought giver" yeah "thought giver" i will have to perform this specific ritual so i can study without hurting my mom.When I was 12 I finally fought back enough with the most courage even though i still didnt knew that OCD was a thing but my symptoms decreased and it was after that at 14 years of age i got to know about it and hell yeah i cried finally knowing those werent some messages or i wasnt crazy,wasnt alone.Everything was more clear now and finally at the age of 15 I am at least of my symptoms ,still annoying though
Everyone is different but your generalizing it here maybe if you talk about the common denominator with all OCD individuals it might be beneficial in helping those with OCD.
Hey Nathan,I just watched your rumination controlling videos,I have ocd since last 3 yrs,but not always are the symptoms same..but there are times when I get overwhelmed by them,and my ocd doesnot have physical compulsions,its based on real events,,and I feel that whatever I am experiencing is true..but I will try may or may be not habit to control my rumination...I really hope that would help me..take care
I hate how long it takes to get into therapy. It prolongs my symptoms and makes it worse. I've had it for 3 years and I'm at the point where I'm questioning if I actually have it.
I wish I stayed in therapy a few years ago. But the lady I was working told me to "do breathing techniques when I get an intrusive thoughts" 🙄 I also have trauma from this whole experience and new things have surfaced and everything is so horrible right now. I can't find an affordable specialist. I want to off myself but I graduate soon which I'm not even happy about.
i'm so frustrated.. i have been ruminating over a question for the better part of a year and when i got a solid answer from a documented, well informated person my brain went like "what if it's not real? what if the text message containing ur answer is not real?what if the conversation only happened in your head??what if the internet articles and their information that satisfy your need is only your imagination?" what should i do? how do i prove my brain that it is real? i am tired of living my life this way...
Yes I don't get anxiety but thoughts still come and disturbing my studied pop up in between time to time how to manage this please make video on this love you ❤😘
Is constantly researching what to do when you’re alone. Or what to do when you’re at a low spot in life and constantly think how my life was before a part of ocd? I was told I have pure o a while ago but I haven’t stopped researching it..
Here's a tip: Don't waste your money on therapy. A therapist is gonna teach you coping techniques so you can live with your symptoms rather than actually helping you overcome them
I often imagine sex scenes with family or religious figures, it's a shame I have a physiological reaction to those images, last night I checked my underwear and there were marks on my body I secrete. I'm really depressed now, I don't understand why my body betrays me too, I'm afraid I'll go to hell 😞
How long does an episode last? I am in one already for 3 years!! Is that possible or this is not ocd and anxiety but some other mental illness instead??
I’ve seen progress especially in the past two weeks in my ocd recovery. Although I still do compulsions a lot but in the moment I’m afraid that if I don’t do it, it could mean something else. How do I overcome that fear?
