OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and depression are two distinct mental health conditions that can coexist and often present significant challenges for individuals. While they are separate disorders, they can frequently occur together, leading to a more complex and difficult experience for those affected.

OCD definitely contributes to depression. When my OCD is not as bad, my depression generally gets better too.

I got completely better and now I am at my worse fase possible of ocd again. I thought it was buried away in my brain and it is making me so upset that the thoughts and impulsions have returned. Even more with depression involved
.. I hate it. I hope you all and I overcome it. Let us be strong. Thanks for the video.
I’ve been through bad ocd before and got better. Now it’s back again and worse but I am thankful for videos like this and my knowledge from previous experience. I hope you’re doing ok!
Just remember you got better before and you can get better again. Don't let the disease control your mind. I went through this also there is hope in Jesus Christ ❤️
I hear you loud and clear! I wish you the best as well! ❤ This too shall pass!!!
Hang in there I know what you’re going thru!
How long did it go away for?
the combination of depression and ocd gives me so much anxiety i am scared to never come out of it
This is unfortunately one of the best descriptions of OCD, I struggle with this every day. I want to do so much every day but I'm so scared of what will happen if I decide to stop worrying, I can't move on
The last thing you said stood out to me in particular, about just trying to enjoy life even if you don't feel like it, and I've heard this a few times before but never really understood it, so maybe you could make a video about it? For me it's not even thoughts that prevent me from engaging in activities, it's the emotions. Like I can think playing a game or doing some other activity is very meaningful, but at the same time I won't do it just because I can't find enjoyment in it anymore. Anxiety especially, just drains all the fun out of it and I don't know how to enjoy myself so long as it's there.
Feel the fear and do it anyway. Whatever you think will be fun and then your anxiety says “you won’t enjoy it” go with the first thought. You don’t know the future until you try and you might just enjoy it even for a second and that’s progress. 😊
@davidz7874 Oh, interesting, I will give this a try, thanks ☺
@@Kim-ft9qx Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
Action comes first, enjoyment comes later. You might have to do things you used to enjoy without enjoying them. That’s ok, accept it and don’t try to chase a good feeling. In time, the good feelings will come back. Just keep on living like you are already healed
Edit: I work with a virtual therapist through NOCD and she has helped immensely. I highly recommend it, even just the app alone is great for OCD (it's free.) If you struggle, its a great resource. I don't feel alone and powerless anymore 💕
I'm literally struggling so badly, waiting to get a new psychiatrist. I've had to explain OCD to everyone because people just don't get it. They have so many stereotypical ideas. My OCD is significantly more internal.
I feel absolutely paralyzed by it. No one knows how to talk to me. I'm trying, but right now I feel completely powerless.
I also struggle with agoraphobia and I know that this is really triggering that in me. If I didn't have a job, I'd be home. When I'm at my job, I feel a small panic that I should need to go home. It's a rough loop.
Im going through this and i geniunly dont know what to do
ocdandanxiety pls help them
@ocdandanxiety pls help them
@ocdandanxiety pls help them
I'd love to talk with you. I suffer from OCD, social anxiety and depression. All at once! Since I was 10! Now I'm 29 years old and still struggling so much with my conditions. I wish the best for you.
Its been a year i m watchng your videos and Allahmdullilah it helps me alot.thank u for your sincere efforts. This chanel is highly recomended for ocd sufferers
You are great ...thank so much you dont know how much you help us those who cant afford going to a therapist .... may allah bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don’t have a support system, most people in my life trigger my mental health by being rude, passive aggressive, etc. healthy minded people are so rare in my life, so I tend to cut off lots of people from my life to protect myself and my mental health, I also find myself the reason why people treat me like this, because I’m too naive and appreciate everything and everyone and never bother to set boundaries cuz I trust everyone that they will never cross their line, but they always do, I always brush it off like nothing happened which makes me feel so bad about myself and it really effects my mental health and my OCD starts telling me that I’m weak and submissive for not standing for myself, then I get into a loop. So to avoid all this I isolate myself from harmful people, which left me without anyone beside me
Sir I am suffering because of repetitive phrases in my mind and that phrases are so distressing which makes me anxious instantly.. I am watching your videos from 15 days in search of help....
Thank you for this content❤
And please suggest me a solution
Love from India❤
Just ignore those thoughts. Although if you chose to ignore it may reel behind your mind in an autopilot mode, never be guilt about it just ignore it too... Love from India too...
@@manimurugesh6034 thank u ❤
@David z thanks for the help❤
25 years stuck in a thought loop. Im so tired... and when i finally get the anxiety down the depression comes.. it like an onion
It is a nightmare I am so over it
I needed this video yesterday haha thanks for the info I definitely need to force myself to exercise more
The information really helps. Thank you so much!😀
I started with ADHD, then bipolar, then OCD, then another 3 mental disordes along the way and I also got other physical diseases. I really do my best every day, I stay possitive and I improve little by little.
Keep going. Pray and believe that in spite of your diagnosis you can feel better and get better ❤
@@AdolGlow Thank you
Check out the book: Brain Energy by Chris Palmer
heyy i hope you are doing okayyy, i believe you will be okay
Thank you so much! God bless.
Several months back I was struggling with the same .... Now I am completely cured
how
OCD?
@@dotatv9418erp
Usually depression comes before having a panic attack for me. I had one at university and took me 2 years to go back and finish my career because i couldn't stand the place.
Thank You So Much For This And All Of Your Videos Nathan They Really Are Very Good And Very Well Made ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Nate, can you please recommend some good books to overcome OCD and Anxiety?
Thank you so much for all the great work you are doing ❤
Hi, here you have a couple to start with😊
OCD:
"Stop obsessing: How to overcome your obsessions and compulsions.", by Edna B. Foa & Reid Wilson.
ANXIETY:
"Anxiety, phobias and panic. A step-by-step programme for regaining control of your life.", by Reneau Z. Peurifoy.
Hope this helps❤
@@awaywithfairies4689 thank you so much
I’d prefer to have more depression but less ocd. I just hate ocd
Is it possible to have depression that triggered off my OCD again? There's been a lot of personal issues in my life which have made me feel trapped and my self esteem has been low, and I think I slipped into high functioning depression. Then I tried to do something to get out of it, this then triggered off the intensity of my OCD. Anytime I've tried to do anything that is a big change for me, it's been rough. Now they're both together, it's the most out of control its ever been.
Thanks
How to you challenge negative thinking of depression with out arguing the ocd intrusive thoughts. My intrusive thoughts have to do with not feeling like myself and questioning all feelings and thoughts to how I would have before but if my thoughts are thoughts such as I’ll never get better, I’ll never be happy, I’ll never be able to just sit and relax, the me I love is gone forever or it’s not okay to enjoy this activity or feeling, then I feel like I arguing against my intrusive thoughts to say I’ll get better and it’s okay to feel like this, to get rid of my depression I have to argue against my ocd thoughts, which make my ocd thoughts worse and therefore depression worse.
I feel you! I'm going through the exact same thing. I want to know how you tell the difference between depression vs OCD thoughts
The problem with OCD, at least in my case is not that my thoughts tell me to do a compulsive action or else blank will happen, it's the coincidences associated with OCD, for example I don't do this compulsive action which means, I or this will have infinite blanks, because of that I've been seeing infinity symbol.
You're going to notice what you're consciously thinking about. For example, if I thought 3's were symbolic I would notice 3's more everywhere. If I thought red trucks meant something I would pick up on red trucks. You're probably naturally poetic, but your using this trait to your disadvantage. Just don't make it into a big doom-like situation bc it's not. I've been there. But your mind is just playing tricks
What is using logic in OCD, Nate? Is it the same as seeking reassurance or rumination?
Ocd doesn't have any business with logic brother... Yeah and it's equal to rumination...
Hi, what about false memory ocd. Very distressing thoughts thst you can't just accept but know its not true? Great stuff by the way 👍
Same
The problem is my OCD make me depressed and have social fobia, that`s why I can´t interact. What Can I do?
Thanks Nat
I do feel like I have OCD+Depression, there are lots of symptoms through the years, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it correctly
Hey im thinking i dont have depression but my head stuck on this word i never feel sorry for having ocd i can manage it And it working fir me i im in control this video actually make it weird and i think i suffer from ocd for 2 years never felt down at all not even now my head just stuck on it the deppreaion well i guess you never know
Im so lucky my ocd doesn’t usually bother me when im alone
I had depression from a year but from like past 30 days im feeling ocd.
I have bipolar and OCD. I find my ocd symptoms go away during manic episode or at least get better but during my depressive episodes it gets really bad. It's this typical with bipolar and OCD? It makes me love hypomanic episodes, om having one now. It feels great. But I hate the feeling of knowing it's going to end and it will all come back...
how are you now
@Riyuzako7 I was doing pretty good since June but tye past week I developed a very bad existential crisis. Maybe existential ocd, I really hope not. But today I'm doing a bit better then the past week. Idk about tomorrow. I kinda thought I didn't have bipolar and was misdiagnosed during those good moments because I was doing so good for a wile so I was dumb and went off my medication in June. I now realize I definitely do and my therapist was right lol
@@AngryPizzaDog do you have xbox or playstation i’d love to talk to you
It is hard for me to separatre ocd thoughts and depression thoughts
Me too!
How can you tell the difference between an OCD and depressive thought?.
Sir my OCD is about a guy I had an arguement with and my problem is the image of this guy always keeps popping in my head whatever I do and whatever I think. Plss help sir. i don’t know what theme is this
It's not about a guy. Even I also had similar experience. Had a quarrel with a girl in the earliest stages of my OCD onset. I used to have repetitive thoughts of her that I shouldn't have done like that. This was a classic symptom of ocd- gulity consciousness. It just eats you if you acknowledge that as if it was your real thought. No, it was your brain's malfunction. Now after years I'm suffering with contamination OCD. Just reach out a good clinical psychologist if you are in early stages. It's okay if you are not sure enough if you had a illness. Go and make it cleared. Just observe your thoughts and their pattern. Seek help from this vids. It will be confusing what to regard and what to ignore. But, learn about your condition, you'll have that command on youself. Reach out to a doctor.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I think these videos do really help but my main problem is school. You go there and socialise and touch things that the dirtiest people you know have touched then I think that all of that gets brought back to my home and struggle to touch most things without the what if factor making me wash my hands and wash anything I've touched. I definitely do not want to speak to anyone like therapists or anything i would much rather deal with it with some advice my brain can learn to touch (My OCD has gotten much better over the years because I used to wash my hands for 10 minutes at a time but now 1 wash does the trick but it is just constant)
Have you tried mushroom and other psychedelic products, I bet you should give it a chance
Coz it has really helped me to come out of depression and anxiety.
He is on Instagram
Hey im from India and NOCD app doesnt work here. Any other alternative?
Hey, I am also from India, I am still suffering from OCD and depression, did you find the solution?
God help me
Hi Nate, can you pls do more videos on Retroactive Jealousy OCD. I've been suffering badly from the past few months and its killing me. Pls help.
Sorry but you are still missing the fact that depression leads to lack of desire of doing the solutions you are suggesting.
Doing sport for example needs courage that most of the OCD patients don't have unless there is a companion, and not all people have the luxury to have a companion (a friend, a brother for ex). Some people are simply lonely.
"facing negative thoughts and be positive", these are so cliché statements! As if OCD patients chose to be negative and hate everyone!
I have a brother with OCD, depression, and (probably ADHD), and he's in a good OCD treatment facility, yet he's not improving at all and it's been 12 weeks already! I guess the whole OCD treatment methodology needs an update, an update that takes other crossing illnesses with it, the role of family members and how to qualify or enable them dealing with matter while taking care of themselves, and the environment in which the OCD patients are getting treated in into consideration.
And lastly, and I am sorry to say again, but many of OCD patients can't even open TH-cam because they have fear of what they might see. How to channel these tips then? Probably treatment.

Hand sweating. How to stop. Tired of asking.
None of yas answer.
@@awaywithfairies4689 no, they will just give me drugs.
Drugs aren't addressing the cause.
Sweating hands happen bc of panic as you know. Is it distressing bc you don't like sweat on your hands or bc you think other people will notice if they touch your hand? Bc the people that matter won't care, which will likely make you feel more at ease and naturally reduce the sweat response
@@andreaabbott3662 it's distressing because it's very annoying?
And yes somewhat embarassing. Particularly handshakes.
You use your hands to do everything. Now imagine them covered in sweat.
@@KrisVic91 I see. Do you notice times when they're not? Like when you wake up? Or is it a constant... Bc if it's not you can start to track the thoughts that happen right before they get sweatier... Also I'm pretty sure the book When Panic Attacks by David Burns addresses this very problem and he does exposure therapy with a patient and the patient get better pretty quickly. You may find value in it
@@andreaabbott3662 when I wake up they're sweating.
I do not notice times when they are not. Only time I can think of was in work eating lunch. However, I was wearing gloves in work all day.
Oh? I duno how ERP would help with this problem. Ive been doing exposures. Not drying them purposely.
