OCD Thoughts make me do this

[@ocdandanxiety]

Does your OCD ever make you feel like you'll do what it says you'll do?

[@sirahmad]

no i never feel like this but the ocd really goes against my charecter my personality and it feels sometime weird that there is something coming in my mind that i don't even want to think but it keep coming in my mind and disturbing me sometimes i think there is satan who is disturbing me and then i pray to god to save me from these thoughts
these thoughts go against my religious places and and even book you don't know these thoughts are so weird that it starting disrespect my religon my religous thing and sacred places which i didn't expect from me i starting feeling so much guilt about it because i never expect such thing from me but such kind of thoughts keep coming and at the end of fighting with them i feel like a loser that i can't fight with them anymore
from this my self confidence falls
i feel extream guilt
i feel extream anxiety because of the cycle of these thought won't stop i replace that thought with another weird thought but if that still dosen't work i try to keep replacing thoughts and that cycle never ends
i just try to protect my religous icons and places from these thoughts but the thing is that these thoughts get even more worst and worst
this is really annoying feeling in my life it make me feel like a dead person i can't feel the joy and peace of mind in my life
brother i see you as my big brother only you can help me plz make the videos in future on that i will look further love u alot😭😭😭
thank you so much for such precious videos and helping me in curing my ocd😭😭😭

It's all in your head. Just remember that.

[@7nflgirl]

the "fear" of the thought is the trigger of it.....

[@godot9223]

I've been doing better and refraining from watching videos about OCD because it's a compulsion of mine to constantly be reassured, but I broke the cycle because I needed to hear this right now. Thank you for making these videos, Nathan!

[@sadieappelfeller]

This is SO terrifying!!!!! The logical side know you’re right but the whole entire time I was thinking “but what if I really went crazy and tripped the kid so no I could never do it!!” Ugh

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

Nathan, never change man. Your videos help so many people. Despite how I sometimes have a little anxiety and relapse a bit or out of habit perform a ritual without thinking, you helped me so much. It’s hard to put into words, but I appreciate everything. It’s possible to recover and I hope all these people struggling continue to watch your videos. Truly, a blessing.

[@alexanderrose2808]

This is my life every day and I am trying to be better but OCD and self loathing are hard to kick after a lifetime of thinking this way. Thanks for making this video it makes me feel like I am not alone in this.

[@bankio1883]

Mannn this shi is ruining my life, im in school and i cant even concentrate like i used to and my thoughts are really violent

[@ells_alright9873]

I want to point out that this friendly vibe from your videos and you really helps. And I feel acceptance, non-judgemental and comfortable environment here. Like it`s normal and not scary at all and that it can be healed. You give hope. Thank you!)

[@raadsharaar4512]

bro i cant even make daily decisions because of my ocd, i dont even know if to trust myself or not

[@ocdandanxiety]

Sorry to hear this! Guess what? I just filmed a video about decision making and OCD. Coming soon!

[@arielyaskow7697]

I feel the exact same way

[@alexish4042]

​@@ocdandanxiety Super glad to hear it! I feel like a lot of us need that right now.

[@seadragon4425]

Me too, my OCD sometimes prevents me from showering because it’s a small room and smaller rooms increase my anxiety generally. It’s disgusting

[@moniquevandijkadema4053]

Not too long ago i also was not able to make even small decisions anymore i did not leave the house anymore and everyday was exactly the same for almost 2 years i was stuck in a cycle that i was not allowed to deviate from because "something bad might happen" . I want to tell you it does get better and things wont always be like this. Im still struggling but i can go outside again and talk to people again that was unthinkable 2 years ago :) everything will be okay

[@norse_cat]

I’ve been having very troublesome intrusive thoughts lately. It makes me “want” to say hurtful things to people I care about and I don’t know why. I don’t actually want to at all or even feel that way, but I’m worried about almost losing control and blurting things out like someone suffering from Tourette’s.

[@raadsharaar4512]

Yea like I struggle to forgive because of my ocd. And I end up doing compulsions to reduce my anger which obviously doesn’t work for us ocd ppl ☠️. But one thing for sure, whether I suffer because of the emotions or not, I swore to myself I won’t hurt my loved ones because of it. I ain’t getting anything from lashing out at them, on top of it it’s a compulsion anyway so qwq. I USED TO SAY SO MANY PHRASES IN MY MIND TO NOT GET ANGY, but again… compulsions. The best thing to do when feel these emotions is to simply do nothing. You’re honestly the first person I’m relating to with my theme of ocd

[@isabelleglover9654]

Hi I never usually respond to TH-cam comments but I just have to in this case because this is the exact intrusive thought Ive been struggling with for the past year and I've never seen someone else say it. I call it my 'Tourette's anxiety' and my brain seems to have convinced me that I am going to develop it and say really awful things to people and I struggle to be in public places because of it. Just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one who struggles with that specific thought, because it's a relief for me to see it too:) i've only just realised that it's my OCD.

[@launacasey6513]

It was disturbing to me when I was going through this most days - I'd be at work and just want to tell everyone how incompetent and lazy they were, and tell them to go f themselves and scream in their face. Luckily my therapist helped me find a more realistic way to think about it, by telling myself that people are generally doing the best they can and aren't intentionally messing up, that they aren't doing this to me. Maybe this is a little off topic or a different condition, but I thought it was somehow relevant.

[@rafaelarezende9189]

i was having the exact same problem and i found that relieving anxiety made me feel less like i would blurp things out. also, trying to think logically and reminding myself that its just ocd helped a lot. i hope you can overcome it.

[@Asadc1995]

Why is you intrusive thoughts remembering too much too good? Also when we talk of annoying types of people who said provoking insulting things towards you? Thats just me myself personally

[@smash910]

This makes so much sense yet seems so hard to do. The Internet feeds OCD when you Google questions because it tells you to wash your hands in certain circumstances but when you think about it you don't really need to. Only when you use the bathroom or before you prepare food. Right now if I touch the carpet I wash my hands. I need to just trust but the anxiety feeling becomes so overwhelming

[@ruggerprogavlar8866]

It never goes away but it does get better , you can not rationalise or find an answer to these thoughts,they just happen because we are like robots our brains work on a risk reward system it's just a calculation in the brain that everyone has , accept to a normal person it doesn't bother them so they don't overthink, ocd is one of them conditions were the more the thought bothers you...the more it bothers you, I got a alot better when I started saying it's a thought it's nothing .

[@quasar4601]

All his OCD videos are super important and interesting

[@AlexandraTaylor-px5nd]

Tysm for this video! I have been struggling with really disgusting disturbing thoughts recently that are trying to control me into thinking that I am horrible and disgusting for thinking a certain disturbing thought and it's like my mind is saying that I believe that this disturbing thought is right and that I am totally cool with it when I am 100% NOT and I know it. Sometimes I can't even stand until I repetitively touch an object and can only stand up when I am satisfied. I feel a heavy burden on me and the nonsense guilt this same thought I had some time ago is lasting even longer now and it drives me insane! I feel like a crazy person doing all of those rituals and hitting myself for the thought to go away. Watching these videos however calms me down and brings me hope!

[@erickk1992]

I keep coming back to this video bc it seems every week I have a ‘what if I snap’ crisis.
Every time, I think I’m not afraid I’m not what others think I am, I’m afraid I’m not what I think I am.

[@spineljoestar5583]

This is what anxiety like for me when I see someone out of character or scary I keep having that repeating thought that won’t go away i though I was into that stuff because it wouldn’t go away I know I’m not my thoughts there something I see on tv or something doesn’t mean I’ll do the same thing as them because I know what I like and what I want to do I just want to have a normal life with my anxiety under control I just wanna stop reacting to things that are scary or disturbing because it has no matter it never has I handle it before I can do it again

[@Arya-ti5vk]

This is the exact thought i was having right now and surprisingly this was the first video suggested to me when I opened youtube.

[@sirahmad]

i love you whenever i need help you comes up with the video😭😭😭

[@_White_Glove_Society_]

I have these ridiculous fears that because someone makes me mad I’m going to plan out a way to harm them. Knowing I hate it and it scares me, how do I know I’m not going to. Or how do I know I won’t snap and do it. Or have the impulse and act on it, is it a fear that because they made me mad I’ll do it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop myself

[@bier1921]

I have this with pocd and it is extremely horrible. It feels like I can act out and like I want to, but i really know I dont want to. Its a constant fight

[@FjdjjfjkFkgkkvi-yx8bf]

Thank you been anxiety meds doctor gave me and it takes the edge off but dealing with this right now thank you for this video

[@Asadc1995]

Well i developed mine in my late puberty. I am however no way physical violent type of guy as i used to be. For getting retailiation on people. However some things of me have not changed as i am somehow the type of person who naturally provokes back. When things gets personal. Its a way for me to keep my anxiety levels down

[@MEL-fc5cr]

I was hoping for a video like this, thank you!!!

[@manimurugesh6034]

Lot of times I feel guilt by getting OCD thoughts whenever I couldn't follow the process of recovery & lapses. I happened to believe that God shows me the way but due to my faltering, I'm welcoming the intrusive thoughts so...

[@therealb888]

I think I just had a breakthrough with this video about how my OCD & ADHD traits affect my discpline & organization.

[@sirahmad]

make more deep videos big brother to conquer ocd love u alot👏👏👏

[@Venom87542]

I went down a bad rabbit hole of Climate Change and Nuclear War and now I'm scared I would die from either and they won't leave my brain. Are those considered intrusive thoughts?

[@sirahmad]

but the thing is when ocd connects with your religon and try to disrespectfull thoughts toward your religon and you tries to protect it the things get even worst
brother plz make video on it in future

[@Gazonkie]

I have retroactive jealousy OCD, and the other day I verbalized some of my intrusive thoughts to my partner. I did it in a way that made her feel judged… but to me, it feels like there’s SOME aspect of truth to the intrusive thoughts. Is this purely OCD? Or do you think it can be a combination of true values combined with obsessive thoughts about them?

[@jillylovesyou15]

I have been searching about what I am feeling to understand what i am actually going through and i found out that I recently developed harm OCD that was triggered by a video discussing a case of a 12-yr old stabbing their 9-yr old brother to d*ath. Now I have been searching to englighten me more about it especially the "urge" feeling/sensation then i found at that yes it is indeed not a genuine urge then I was like okay now I know, makes me feel relieved but then I read that you can have ICD (Impulsive control disorder) along with your OCD. Now I am scared that what if I have ICD and act on these thoughts. Help please

[@sadiemoreno3642]

If it makes you feel any better, I developed harm ocd after watching a movie where some kid stabbed his family. It triggered ocd off and on for 2 years. I never did anything and know that’s when it all started. I’m typically able to control myself in all other situations. Exposure therapy can help. You know where this came from and how it started. You are not alone.

How do you stop urges to touch people and touch things with intrusivethoughts. I have tryd everything to stop it and it wont go away and this is getting really hard to deal with

[@konstantinaparaskevopoulou633]

I have harm ocd and it was always making me feel, among other stuff, that I will hurt babies. I always had these thoughts I am going to drop them etc...accidental or on purpose. A week ago I held a newborn for the first time. I went against ocd and it felt good! But after a day or so I feel terrified...doubting my will to have children myself because I cannot handle it. I don't know what to do...and after all...how do you expose yourself to babies...not something you can but or work upon I think 🥺. I always wanted a family. I fear I will never have one..

[@lilsler]

Trust me no OCD theme is to extreme. You are not your thoughts. Ignore the alarms. Ignore the thought loops. They are insignificant. You know who you are, a thought will not change the content of your character. Stay strong

Good morning from Greece. I'm apologizing for my English. Would you agree that thinking again and again your past, your choices, just being obsessed with thinking faces, facts, without having compulsions, is more likely a generalized anxiety disorder than OCD?

I am finding your humor so helpful....but can you please do a video for the victims of harm OCD....because I have seen that even without sticking a foot out...the harmful desires can manifest and the kid can be trip by the neg energy of the ocd person ruminating on their demise...wishing they will trip/fall until they do. because not everyone with OCD stays as a good person. And the treatment needs to include training their brain to wish other people health/happiness with no trips/falls. Prayer can heal....just like ruminations can manifest if you wish hard enough. To me harm ocd is similar to voodoo...because their are sociopaths with ocd too
