Did I Act on or Do I Want/Like the Thoughts?

  • I talk about a couple things in this video: When 'acting on thoughts' becomes a fear and also when emotions/thoughts/groinal sensations feel like you want them. I also threw some psychoeducation in about ERP and the amygdala! I hope this helps!!

    "I can handle the thoughts, but once my body is involved it feels too real" is EXACTLY why I have so much trouble with ERP!

    I cannot thank you enough. I had the most soul crushing thoughts, I recovered from OCD and got rid of it completely, but then just a few weeks ago I’ve been having even more disturbing ones, but different- like they are heightened or something. I really thought I was a terrible person, but I was only seeing if I was a bad person. Thank you so so much

    Hi Chrissie, always good to see you. I have a question... you've talked about some very specific and relatable aspects of the OCD journey that I haven't seen other channels really talk about such as being traumatized by OCD, and also in one video - I think one from a few Christmases back, actually - you talked about your experience with an injury and how OCD interacted with that, which brings me to my question: do you think you could talk about that in more depth? Injuries/chronic pain and OCD? I've also had some injuries and chronic pain which were traumatic in and of themselves, but then OCD just adds a whole other layer to the experience. I really related to some of the things you shared surrounding your experience with an injury in your video from a few years back, and really think it's a topic and aspect of our journey with OCD that could use more attention. 🙏

      This is the worst friend, it's been 4 months and this only got worse for me. If you keep doing compulsions, believe me that it always get worse. Ocd always finds something to make you doubt and make you feel the worst. Try to resist the compulsions, wish you the best. I know it is really difficult, but many people with ocd have recovered, so can we. Just don't give up

    Arousal to the point of pain is very real and uncomfortable. We fight to resist our flesh and what it wants. We have to deny our flesh. The flesh wants what it wants. But we have to have to fight to resist the flesh. Resist temptation. Thank you for these videos 🙏🙏🙏

      What temptation ? Hocd ? Hocd isn’t a natural desire with real temptations.. it’s ego dystonic.
      What you wrote is true for someone with natural desires and natural temptations that one is truly trying to resist..
      That’s not the same for hocd, pocd or whatever..

    the thingyou said at minute 10 is soo correct for me at the beginning of my ocd i was basically crippled i couldn't even manage to walk because my body felt so weak due to stress cause i never was a really thatanxious person before, my fury, my disgust, my fear, my pain and my anxiety they all either subsided or my brain tries to make them look good like i find something gross but my mind tries to show that to me as something erotic, i feel horrified but after a couple second it feels like excitement, i feel angry or sad but my brain tries to make itlook like i love the thing that makes me feel this negativity and even though i know that non of this is actually real i am even wondering is this even ocd and what i writed here is similiar to anyones experience like does the things i write happen to others too or i don't have ocd? this shit is a fucking curse .

    That's what I tell myself with OCD. I just live it like it is. If my OCD keeps asking questions ,
    I just stop listened to OCD and believe that I am good person 😊 Listening to OCD just makes more anxious, nothing more, so why listing to OCD when it makes counterproductive. Even in catholic church we have a rule if you don't know you sin you don't. If you in past didn't know you didn't sin mortal ,so you wouldn't go to hell for that.😊

    I literally have that I have this ocd for so long that when I try to do compulsions (check and feel nothing I get a panick attack because I am not disgusted I also force my self to imagine to like it and panick just to see if it feels natural but it makes no sense because I imagined to like it 🙈(but I do also keep talking myself out of my thoughts and. Finding millions of ways why I am not that thought (which makes me feel like I could be denial but then I panick about being denial I am also not into it and I keep having a second of doubt that it’s ocd so I kept looking for the disgust Im glad I am not alone (relapsed a little bit a couple days ago although the thoughts are not as bad but compulsion urges are I keep refusing to do them 90% because I remind my self how bad it was and I never want to go back To that again (also keep reminding myself that I was fine pretty much before this small relapse
