Sorry to hear that. Sometimes doctors are hesitant about diagnosing ADHD. Have you considered a second opinion? Or alternatives to improve ADHD symptoms?

@@chaddizzle “Cognitive dissonance” is such an interesting concept! It’s fascinating how our minds work to resolve the tension between conflicting thoughts. Hope this video was helpful!

Ha! Thanks for the earring observation 👻 Halloween is my favorite! 🎃 Glad you found this short helpful!

Hi claudiaminor459, totally understand where you’re coming from. This cycle of unwanted thoughts and behaviors can change! There will be more videos and episodes in the coming weeks. Hope this video brought awareness to what’s happening and gives you hope! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

@@RW-br4hv the video is here to lighten the mood and ultimately help people with OCD get the help they need. People with OCD know that their thoughts are “silly” or don’t make sense. They feel embarrassed to talk about it in session and I want them to feel totally open to share whateveris on their mind! I had no idea that there unhealthy chemicals in our cereal! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you @soggy8572. Perfectionism is procrastination in disguise. It’s best to go for it and pivot as you learn. 😁

Thank you! She’s a sweet girl 🐶 Rosie appreciates you watching!

Yes, I’m sure that’s tough to watch your mom go through that. I wonder how she would feel if she knew she could feel better, lighter, and have peace of mind?

Yes, grief can be challenging. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It takes courage to open up about what you're going through. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, especially when safety is a concern. Take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself along the way, and know that support is available. Wishing you all the best!

Hi @Dub_97, great question!! Sexual attraction is a natural and fluid aspect of the human experience. It's normal for people to feel attraction to others regardless of gender, as sexuality exists on a spectrum and can change over time. Intrusive thoughts are associated with feelings of stress and anxiety as they conflict with your values and/or beliefs about yourself.

@Dub_97 Certainly! Understanding sexual attraction and desire can be confusing. Sexual attraction and sexual desire are related but different: • Sexual attraction is the feeling of being drawn to someone sexually based on physical appearance, personality, and/or other qualities. • Sexual attraction is the initial pull or interest you feel towards another person. • On the other hand, sexual desire is the longing or craving for sexual activity or intimacy. • Sexual desire can be driven by physical arousal, emotional connection, or both. • These concepts can be fluid and can vary from person to person. For someone with OCD, knowing the difference between these two can become a source of anxiety and obsessive questioning. OCD thrives on doubt and seeks reassurance. It's common for people with OCD to question, analyze, overthink, and second-guess their feelings intensely. It’s easy to get caught in a loop/cycle where no answer feels “right.” It’s important to recognize that a need for absolute clarity is a hallmark sign of OCD. Trying to find a single, definitive answer will never fully satisfy the intrusive thoughts. An OCD specialist can guide the person with these uncertainties and collaborate on strategies to handle the obsessive questioning. One of these days, I can pull in a sex therapist to come talk on the show! Thanks for your questions and comments!

P r o m o S M? Sounds like a secret code! Should I be worried or excited? 😄
