Would someone think differently of me if they knew my ocd thoughts? I say yes. But only those who don't care to understand what intrusive thoughts are and how ocd works.
@@heidighomi6489 my point exactly. Those who don't care to take the time to understand the "beast" that is OCD, don't need to be involved in our lives.
this is exactly happened with me 28 years ago,The fear generated from it still regularly haunting me ,thanks Sir, atleast you pointed out the real issue.
Thank you for just being..SO good. Bringing that goodness to this channel, reminding me to put these thoughts into broader context and keep doing 'the work' around them--for me, this would be saying to myself 'not a good thought, not a bad thought'. So refreshingly neutral😇
I've gotten alot better for anyone that feels stuck in ocd, I used to have so many fears and I wrote them down and started facing them. My only fear now is schitzophrenia or getting angry and hurting someone. Alot better than before😅 tha k you nate for all the things you do for us ocd sufferers❤
That's a normal thing in anxiety disorders. The thoughts "attack" the most important stuff to you. Mainly your children/spouse. That bi*tch will make you either way question it or do some harm. Many moms after birth experience intrusive and impulsive thoughts about harming their babies and every doctor will say that it's normal, even tho some of them really test the anxiety and try if they are capable to choke them even. These thoughts still are harmless because they are meant to only scare you and test your limits. You won't harm anyone because you focused one thought out of thousands we have daily.
@@wero1799You're correct but they asked something different. Their intrusive thoughts involve other people they care about harming others, not them themselves harming others. To answer, I have sometimes thoughts like that too
My compulsion is constantly thinking what about what i forgot because at stage in life where i really need to work hard to take care of my business & personal life. So forgetting something about it becomes unbearable. PLEASE POST A VIDEO ON THIS
Honestly, i can't take it anymore. My thoughts are different from anything i've seen simply because they aren't just thoughts. They are feelings, sensations. When they come, it feels like i enjoy them for a second and then i snap out and notice what happened. It's terrible. I don't want these thoughts. I don't want any of these 😢 i am in therapy, i am taking medications, but i keep stuck.
Me too! It’s worse because I don’t even remember if I was diagnosed with OCD or not. I just remember a neurologist saying he thought I had OCD but I don’t recall if there was a diagnosis 😭I hate the falsely memory ocd of like “did that happen or not?”
Just know this OCD and you are not to be blamed . You are powerful than the random thoughts. The India philosophy is all about breaking through the habitual thought mechanics and attain the absolute peace.So don't give so much importance to thoughts.
Sometimes i slip up and misspeak normally, saying words that I don't intend but are related to either the last words I heard or some odd connection in my head. I fear that I will slip up and say my intrusive thoughts and that my entire life will fall apart.
I do it often. Sometimes I am alone, sometimes there are people nearby. Themes are past obsessions. It hurts but I've come to think that people don't get the meaning of those words. Maybe they think it is just self-talk. Maybe not. Anyway, I cannot avoid it. I hope this is not reassurance but a simple reminder of common humanity. Search about self-compassion (Neff & Germer).
I'm wondering - this false memory ocd? -I get false memories of me doing bad stuff, and I've never had these false memories in the past (never thought about these false memories until now) -I avoid places that may trigger my false memories -the more I think/ruminate about these false memories, the more real they seem and the more they warp/more false memories created -I feel a sense of guilt with it even if these memories are fake -its hard to complete tasks/do things when ruminating about false memories -these false memories seem hyperrealistic and vivid, but when i compare it to an actual real memory that did happen, the false memories seem almost dreamlike (nightmarelike more like)/blurry/cloudy
Also another thing is that I try asking my parents about these false memories, and they keep on insisting/telling me that it's all false but it feels so real to me 😢😢
Also the false memories stay dormant in my head from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and I have dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of these false memories
Also I go through each and every false memory in my mind and reassure myself that each one is false and get a sense of relief, but suddenly the false memories come back in my mind and my mind tells me they're real even though I just told myself that they're false??
@@ninbendoyt3203this exact thing happens to me it’s a nightmare. It’s a cycle I can’t seem to get out of. I think even if they say it’s false they could be lying to me which makes me feel so bad about myself I also have thoughts like what if I die and God tells me it wasn’t a false memory? And that makes it harder to let go.
I like the part where you showcase that the thoughts don't actually make you a cloud. My problem is that I think I can make myself BELIEVE I am a cloud (just to use your example) if I repeat it enough even though I know it is absolutely impossible to turn into a cloud. Thought-Action-Fusion I guess.
Hi, so... at the beginning I dealt with very heavy relationship OCD... high anxiety, nausea, obsessive thoughts to the point of being too much... but with time these things passed and now I'm in an apathetic phase. I haven't stopped looking for reassurances yet, but this apathy and lack of perception of how good my partner and our relationship are, is this normal in OCD? It seems like it won't go back to before... and I can't stop wanting to know.
Nathan, please do a video about cheating ocd where the intrusive thought is about someone cheating on their partner.. not vice versa please, there isn't enough videos about it, I really need your guidance
Well, since 2019 I check my mental state every day, I check my actions to see if i did something that shows that I suffer from some of the scariest mental illnesses.I DO THIS EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE, I check everything, I say repetitive words in my brain, I have intrusive thoughts,negative thinking all day, I have su1c1dal OCD fear of schizophrenia psychosis depression bipolar everything Im am convinced my brain doesn't love me!
Sir OCD patient actually forget or confuse real incident like , if you have health OCD and you doubt a real exposure to any fatal decease , ignoring them saying they are just intuitive etc
Please can the death of someone you love triggered ocd?,my ocd trigger when i lost my mum, thinking i am responsible for her death,and this causes me when ever i see someone the thought comes up ,telling me if i did not tell him or her that Gods loves them, i wont have peace of mind , almost every day of my life,and that is frustrating for me,this is not how am i please someone helped me 😭 😭
The simple way is talking to a close friend or wife who can understand ur situation and ask them what they would do.If they are fine without doing compulsion then u will also do fine . Mind will get that assurance and catch on to that. Always act like u don't hv OCD and try to be like normal person. If ur mind says do the compulsion just tell ur mind that others are not doing it and they are fine so even i don't need to do that.
If I develop a random thought in my mind, a kind of situation of past where I get stuck...should I make imaginary solution to the problem of try to avoid it? Its becoming unbearable 😢😢. I am being mentally tortured by this...
I’ve been living with ocd since I was a kid, and “disappear” for months or years and after something happened the ocd comes back with an increased effect, but after 2020 my ocd has been a nightmare 🫠
Exposure therapy. Just don't wash the hands when u feel like doing it or take another person help and ask him to say stop when u r overdoing the washing. This way you will get to know what a normal person does and if they are fine doing that u will also be fine.
Would someone think differently of me if they knew my ocd thoughts? I say yes. But only those who don't care to understand what intrusive thoughts are and how ocd works.
Who cares about what the others think, life is already too difficult for us.

Yeah I have, did treatment now recovered and living life. Do ERP it’s life changing.
i feel like its best to not even have a catchphrase, because thats engaging with it, literally have no reaction or engaging with it is key
sometimes im worried i said something outloud

An amazing video as usual! Love your content so much 🤍
I love the videos. Keep them coming!
Jesus Christ healed me from OCD. He set me free. He is real.
Not Jesus, healing is done by God not prophets
I get this thing a lot where I feel like people can read my thoughts, it’s very scary 😔

loved the video, can you make a video on how to deal with performance anxiety in a competition?
Love your channel! It’s so helpful! Any thoughts on intrusive dreams? Is that common? Same advice?
