Currently having a panic attack and this came up at the perfect time. Ocd is a liar and a bully I've made tremendous progress thanks to you. I want you to know how much of an impact you've had its changed my life and I can't thank you enough.
Honestly "the maybe, maybe not" is a life saver. I used to use it like 200 times every day. Now I only have to use it a bunch of times a day with only minor discomfort.
@@thefrieguy4328 i do like the "maybe, maybe not" more than liar. Because if you say OCD is lying, you are already arguing. Just do the maybe, maybe not and sit with the uncomfortable feeling until it passes on its own. It does work, have been subclinical now for 2 months.
I'm glad this guy is here on RUclips. I started recovering and healing from OCD anxiety deep depression hopelessness starting July 2021. And I didn’t discover this guy's RUclips channel until this year. His advice is the stuff I learned and read from OCD books and researchers. So it's good advice
Thanks for making these videos on OCD and anxiety-related issues. Your videos are very helpful. I would like to request that you make more videos on sensitive OCD topics, such as POCD, Real Event OCD, SO-OCD, and OCD involving intrusive thoughts and images, etc. These types of OCD need more attention since many people suffer from them silently.
I *HATE* the advice to "focus on my breath" during a panic attack, cuz they usually it starts with feeling like I'm breathing wrong 😅 I find that my best short term panic treatment is distraction. 9/10 of my panic attacks happen while I'm driving, so I just turn on some music I love and try to ignore my body lol
I just had a panic attack and went to the ER lol 5th time this year and I'm starting to fight the bluff now I'm starting to notice and get used to that its just anxiety but I have to let it happen and not panic and go to the ER and these last times I'm starting to think clearly and pin point the symptoms and not have that anxiety brain fog where you think and see everything as super dangerous and I'm not feeding into those mental and physical symptoms dumb anxiety I've been doing extremely well daily but this panic attack just hit me when I woke up and it's really difficult when your resting and your heart rate is at its lowest and you wake up and you're at just hit with a truck of adrenaline doenst really give me time to think but if I was awake I would of easily prevented it but it's whatever I don't fixate on blood pressure or heart rate especially when I'm in a panic attack I used to overthink that but it's normal adrenaline is pumping and im not scared that it's gonna happen again and I'm not creating mental blockages due to getting anxiety/panic attacks when I was doing a certain thing or at a certain place and avoiding them also doing exposure therapy when recovering from anxiety is not about if you're feeling symptoms or needing to be calm your facing your fears everything is gonna feel worse before it gets better you gotta be uncomfortable so you can be comfortable and that's the part of anxiety that's difficult but you gotta put in the work
Can you do a video on breathing anxiety, fear that your not able to breath enough or that your body will forget? Health anxiety help please and thank you! Your videos always help❤😊
I had 2 anxiety attack in the space of a month due to stress about university and a couple other things , like i have a fear of losing my teeth ....but your videos have helped me
Crazy but I’ve discovered this method a few years ago when I got nighttime attacks. Actually works when you analyze the symptoms without getting upset at them. It really does trivialize those uncomfortable symptoms when you remind yourself what’s going on and that it will be over soon.
Can you please make a video about OCD habits such as cigarette smoking, OCD thoughts about doing substance or drinking, and hanging out with the wrong crowd?
I am for some reason terrified of 4 way stop signs. The takeaway I got from this video is I should map out a route that has a ton of 4 way stop signs and drive it regularly, let the fear wash over me, and keep doing this. Stop running from 4 way stop signs. Thanks
This is a piece of wisdom. Buckle up. Well, when it comes just say hey welcome, treat it as another person, I personally treat ocd as a snake. I Believe that it is not me , I say heey welcome My snake 🐍 carry on doing your thing, carry on do as much as you want. And let me do my thing. Accommodate it as someone inhabiting in your brain. Give it a room and space and privacy. Detach from it, respect it lol let it do its thing and you do considerate not watch it. Hey you, you do your thing. Just learn to live with it in 1 room. Treat your ocd like a snake. Let it speak, let it curse, let it frighten you. Say do as my as I want. I don’t care since it is not me. You are not me and byeeee bye panic attacks ❤
Does this apply to feeling really down, gloomy and having intrusive thoughts about death? I’m assuming it does but I just want to check. You have REALLY helped me with my dearealization I never knew it existed I felt so validated thank you for everything you do.
Has anyone actually gotten success with this method ? If so, how long did you have panic attacks for? And how long did it take for you to get over them? Approximately, of course.

Could you have panic attacks from waking up to the night everyday ?
I cant breath properly
Has anyone actually gotten success with this method ? If so, how long did you have panic attacks for? And how long did it take for you to get over them? Approximately, of course.
It has greatly helped me. Doing public speeches despite panic attacks
I can Not breath properly.
Haha nice Eminem reference 😂 ✊🏽 ❤. He’s the gist like you💯
Can SO-OCD turn you off your preferred gender? It’s like a switch has flipped in my brain
❤
I owe you every breath I take❤
