Thank you Ali if your reading these comments anyone know your not alone I can’t speak for others but I watch these videos however they aren’t meant to take away the thoughts, sensations, feelings, it is advice that is amazing but you might still be struggling a lot DONT worry, I am struggling so are you and so is this community and that is ok we can do it, I can do it, we all can!!! You are not alone ❤️
I've actually tried this myself lately thinking it was something I invented for myself 😂😂 but it does work. The more time passes as I postpone the compulsion, the less power the ocd thoughts have over me. Then it's like "Ah I'm not bothered doing it now"
I have pure o and I find it hard at times to not do mental complusions. Like I would say “I am like this and not like that” but sometimes I say it in the wrong order and my anxiety spikes. And I don’t know how to stop my mental complusion. I do stop doing them for like 3 days and then I fall back on track and it gets difficult every time I fall back in ocd I get more and more confused than I ever was and my memory feels blurry
Thank you, Ali! Can you please do a video on skills we can use to ignore/disregard the thoughts? It is almost impossible for me to do it. That is what is preventing me from succeeding in erp. I always, always end up doing compulsions no matter how hard I try and convince myself that the thoughts are not my true thoughts.
U can’t control the thoughts from coming in at all .. U can control the reaction to the thought once u work on making the choice no matter how scary the thought is it’s the choice u making by not reacting with fear it takes practice becus u have conditioned ur brain to be afraid or react to the thought ..Now u have to condition ur mind by not reacting with fear.. So that’s the disregard part of not reacting to the thought .. SO AS U GET THE THOUGHT DISREGARD IT no reaction .. Stay busy go about ur day.. Anxiety will probably most likely be more intense becus u are not falling for the bait so that’s when u know it’s working once anxiety just gives up becus ur not scared of the thought by not giving the reaction it wants it subsides and so do the thought becus u have practice this over n over and u will see how it works .. Dont dispute with it or neutralize it just let it tell u whatever despite anxiety being there but don’t entertain it don’t give it reaction try it and u will see how u can make the choice instead of being a slave to the fear.. Takes practice .. U have the choice by not reacting
@@albertfigueroa11 Thank you for the very helpful reply! I try to ignore the thought, but it is sometimes impossible to ignore. I get paralyzed with fear and neutralize it and start all over with what I was doing. It is a scrupulosity thought, so it is so difficult for me to ignore, especially when I am doing religious duties.
can you do more vidoes on hocd cuz am i terrified right now cuz of a particular feeling that freaks me out i have practically every common symptom of hocd with a few less common symtoms but this is extreme this is scary and real and im really frightened
@@heatherstirling6008 thank you i have i have also watched other hocd vs denial videos and in all of them ive turned out as with hocd but you know im still scared
@@heatherstirling6008 thank you thank you alot its super scary it makes me think im acting on them and want to act on them but i hope you get through this as well
These tours just seem so true I know I only want a man and I know I don't want to be with a woman but these thoughts scare me so much I hate it so much (I'm a girl)
I was just watching one of your videos, about disregard. The question is -how you managed to switch from OCD thought? For me, as how I feel it, mental reassurence coming automaticly once OCD thought has occured.. How it was possible for you to stop that automatic reasurence? What did you do in that particular moment: thought came IN, usually mental reassurance starting immediately after, and..so what was your way to stop it?
Ali I have just slowly weaned off of paroxatine (by 5mg - from 30 mg daily to zero) and started moving slowly to fluvoxamine. When I was on paroxatine I have been doing ERP. My depression after weaning off of paroxatine is really bad and my work I have done for ERP seems to be gone(thoughts are back). I feel very depressed and the thoughts are back. Is this withdrawal symptoms? Or new medicine (fluvoxamine).

It's really hard ali I feel like it's getting worse by the second. I'll keep fighting I know I will overcome this

This is so truee
Yes this is so true I only want a man and I don't want a woman (I'm a girl) but these thoughts scare me so much
It’s gone to the point where my brain wants me to worship, and even trust everything except God. What a sad life. This is helping me so much.
Plz don't skip the adds so in this way we can thanks ALI
Ha HA HA HA HA .. Yes You Right . .
I have bad existential OCD and I’m learning how to just accept it all
Thanks for giving the sufferers good hope.

Me too I really need help with that because it's like if I try to stop it's like I'm fighting with the thoughts

jake hartal that’s called an urge and it’s ok OCD wants to scare you to keep you stuck 👍🏻

Yes I have the same question
Doing something fun, for me, joking with people make me easier to disregard OCD thought, it feels like "the volume of OCD thought" slowly decreasing
Ali I have just slowly weaned off of paroxatine (by 5mg - from 30 mg daily to zero) and started moving slowly to fluvoxamine. When I was on paroxatine I have been doing ERP. My depression after weaning off of paroxatine is really bad and my work I have done for ERP seems to be gone(thoughts are back). I feel very depressed and the thoughts are back.
