Found you literally today, I feel like I don’t want to waste my life in fear and desperation anymore. I just didn’t know the way out and that I could do it on my own. thank you for your existence, I have no words to express how much does this change things. I have every kind of OCD thought possible, the struggle is taking over and overshadows every joy, so thank you for doing this and telling people they’re not evil they’re just afraid. It freaks me out just to think of how much work it’ll take and whether I can do it or not, I’m afraid of failing but you give people hope, you gave me one.
This was the best podcast I’ve ever listened to and I’ve listen to a lot of yours they’re all good the reason this one was so great is that you identified OCD in a way that one could actually understand how ocd actually, For a lack of better terms, how OCD behaves.
Hi Ali, my question is.. would you consider “research,googling, and watching videos” a compulsion to seek validation? And would this make my condition not Pure O if it Is a compulsion ? I’ve been struggling with harm ocd thoughts for 2 months now, and every night when they take force, I watch your videos or some other form on the topic to make myself feel better. Is this an unhealthy habit? I feel like all this may be doing is keeping me in the OCD longer. Please respond. Thank you much love 💕
hi ali,please answer my question. i think i have hocd+rocd.i feel fear in the form of thoughts related to my family members. Sometimes I overwhelmed with this thoughts. whenever their occurrence of fight b/w family members. it just automatically start thoughts related to harm.After saying wrong about loved ones,I really feel panic. Through your videos,I am able to know that this is ocd thoughts. but I don't know what is right exposure to deal with it.This symptoms really triggers when fight happened in b/w my family members. how to handle this? Also ,magical thinking with hocd enhancing stress ?how to deal with the situation at that time?
@@sandhyachoudhary3774 Hi..I completely don't know if I have ocd or not? Or why would I worry so much when situation not as expected? But i come to know it's all my anger and hate that's never able to think me above what I have. But I am trying my best to secure my future. I am focusing on my studies. I come to know that it's happen because it's past some wrong decisions and failures in present,I never wanted those failures in my life. To overcome I started blaming and hating,it increases my emotional outburst, maybe I can talk to those people who surrounded me, I think they never understand me and they blame to us and present becomes worst if I choose this. I also come to know i loses hope to be happy. But now i come to know that this failures are due to not having proper awareness. So if we are clear about what we want with hopes that are reals,we can restart our life and no magical thinking will harm us and our family. If this information helps you, I will be more happy . Never lose hope,everything will be fine one day.

I dont really have intrusive thoughts, but I fear I may hurt people in the future, and I do compulsions by googling(Which sucks), And I feel like I'm in this endless loop, and then I find similarities with whoever did something bad, can any of you relate. I would love to talk to someone, I feel so alone in this.
Hi ali. I had asked a question about if I’m in my room my anxiety gets too high and I can’t control the thoughts as much as If I’m in my moms room. U said to do exposures during the day but about this specific theme of me checking it’s mostly at night before I go to bed. During the day I don’t really worry It’s at night that bothers me most. So what can I do about that ? I try to do little by little and go back to my room after a couple of hours so when it’s daylight alittle I make myself go in my room And don’t listen to the thoughts. But at night I can’t control it so I’m trying little by little. But I’m use to being in my moms room and I can’t take that big leap and go straight back to my room. So what can I do. ? Thanks for ur help
A4210 hi I also only get anxiety at night. The upside about this is you can prepare yourself. You have to find the strength to go in your room. You will get there. Listen to some of Ali’s videos about what to do with your intrusive thoughts. Remember not to analyse your thoughts! I know it’s hard!
Hi Ali i am relate to all your questions i have hocd last Sunday and i don’t know this never happen until after 5 yrs i love my family members I’m most helpful kind in my family i never understand until after now i watched your video i don’t have hocd or ocd for 5yrs lately this a week ago this hocd just came up and pop suddenly i wonder if its my down shift period hormones i wonder what triggers it i lost a love one last month 2 days after i came back in states i dont know what triggers my ocd,..but i know i am bored stay home mom.
What if you have “Harm OCD”, coupled with “Real Event OCD” if it is “Harm OCD” it’s more likely... the event didn’t happen, right. Because like you said people like us wouldn’t hurt anyone or thing?
