Dear James...thank you so much for the videos and your Awesome display of Courage!! That's Very helpful to just look at it as a 6 yr old screamin boy and to just try to take baby steps and not get frustrated. I dont have the typical ocd rituals, mine are more of what my therapist calls "Pure O", and aren't typical(ie those that are in any textbooks)...so for years I questioned whether they were Real or OCD, but have left me bedridden and in extreme pain and discomfort figuring and solving-with never any closure/resolution-and tell me that if I don't Figure them out-something Terrible will happen that I could have prevented if Only I would have given the "PULLS/Feels So Guilty/Fearful and Paralyzing"-it's like I'm in the Ring with Mike Tyson pounding me over and over while I'm Pinned on the ropes...where I'd rather be in heaven that have to keep living-you have given me some more hope to just keep just "Being with the fear"-I thought I had to in some way "Figure out the fear/or figure out the Correct way to walk away"...but my therapist say to keep it simple and love and trust myself-and All this Overthinking/Overworking/Overanalyzing for hours and hours and just tossing and turning and living the next day the same over and over is not the answer. I think your saying to walk away and do your best to go for a walk and distract yourself, and Risk it-which doesn't mean keep worrying about Risking it Properly (which is another obsession). My bully just hops from One obsession to another, but I see I'm Trying to Hard to Outthink it, and that will never work, as I saw you say in another video. I see I need to be more Compassionate to myself. I have been told by multiple top specialists that I have Chronic Refractory OCD, and should consider DBS Brain Surgery...but I'm not ready for that. I Believe in myself. It's helpful to see that I'm not alone...I've been battling the illness day and night for 50 years/since birth...with years of therapy in ERP/ACT/CBT/Mindfulness/Meds with no relief but I Know I have it within me to get better. I'm Super Positive/Optimistic/Happy and Enthusaistic by nature...and I'm not Allowing the disorder to continue holding me Hostage where I can't breath and live in constant panic/depression Thanks again and God Bless
Thankyou so much for your videos. Your video on checking the stove and not following a negative, intrusive thought is the reason why I can now leave the house. My psych is so impressed with your videos that she is now recommending her own patients watch them.
Thank you so much for your videos, James. One thing I like about them is how calm your voice and personality is. It makes me feel really relaxed and makes me truly believe that everything is going to be all right. I hope you're doing well. Thanks again ❤️
Hello, I just wanted to say how helpful your videos have been, I recently got back to how my OCD was before my treatment and your videos gave me a little glimmer of hope when I felt so overwhelmed and like I couldn’t get myself back
The bully is a 6 year old boy!!!! It can’t work if the thoughts are sexual & violent as that would make me feel like a peado & then my POCD starts. Now I’m just grossed out thinking of my bully as a child doesn’t work as my bully puts sexual images in my head. Now you get me? It works for the non sexual & non violent stuff.
I'm so low I've had cod since I was 9 now I'm 58 and it's called ocd it's affected my daughter my family and relationships my number is 7 pause 3 or I will die a horrible death since 34 someone gave me alcohol for the first time and it helped but I am now an alcoholic I very had cats for 28 years and my 18 year old tilly had to be put to sleep on 20th and now I'm alone I live by my parents but they feel awkward in my flat as everything has to face and be a certain way I'm so lonely I've had cbt but then I'm told I have to stop drinking for it to work I'm to old to have another cat I think but my compulsive obsessional disorder is so bad 😢
Hello mr james i would like to say that your youtube videos mean a lot to me. and have help me a lot i do not have someone to talk to really would like to ask if you can upload more pls
