I suffer from OCD and it's taken a big toll on me
Thank you so much for these videos

Subtle hint that watching too many videos on OCD can be a compulsion as well. OCD recovery is 10% information and 90% action.
This. Is. Me. 🤦🏼♀️
Totally!
@@JenniferPost I had to in order to get through my relapse and understand this condition and myself more. Erp also
@@kristymarie6065 So difficult to find a therapist who is certified...
@@JenniferPost you have to do a lot of research to understand it. I spend 18 months trying to get through a relapse. I’ve had ocd for over 15yrs. I know this sounds like it doesn’t make sense but ocd comes out in all forms you get rid of one and bam here comes another. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Eventually it will fade out some and you will be in control not ocd. I found I had to stop trying to figure it out . And ocd loves to comes up with scenarios.
The "writing out the fear" part is soo helpful. With my type of OCD, it makes me see the irrationality of the connection between the fear and the compulsion. I've got a lot of compulsions surrounding objects (i.e. "Don't wear that shirt, because x might happen" or "Don't read that book or.." and so on) so really taking time to write down "If I read that novel, he'll never ask me out" makes me laugh so much at my own OCD that I won't let myself be bullied by it anymore.
The beginning of the video was literally me. I would do anything to avoid therapy including buying supplements, ice baths, meditation, etc cause in my mind, if I did therapy, it could mean my worst fears would come true. It's crazy how OCD works.
This is amazing! I suffer from ROCD and I watch your videos on and off. This video made me laugh during a tough time :)
I laughed a lot during this. It was like a satirical infomercial about OCD. 😂
I’m 32 and didn’t realize how much I struggled with OCD, more so scrupulosity. As a Christian I’ve had a hard time weathering through this and dealing with a narcissistic parent only added fuel to the fire.
But as I’m learning I’m slowly growing. My faith in Christ has kept me grounded and these videos have helped educate me as well. 😊
Check out Mark DeJesus on here..he's a pastor that helps people with rocd...he just released a book on the topic.
@@JenniferPost I’ve actually been following Mark for about 5 years now, he’s great! Can’t wait to get his new book!
@@ethanplacella I thought you prob have, but love to share his channel! 🙂
@@JenniferPost no worries I appreciate you reaching out! :)
Maybe I’ll see you in Marks comment section one of these days 🤪
Your videos really help me. Thank you so much. It's an outside influence, it helps support my brain because my OCD won't capitulate sometimes. I can feel the delusions fading away little by little
Bcoz of you I handle my OCD , thank you so much I got a HOCD before but now I'm free and now aware bcoz of you . Wishing you all the best nate
1. This video was edited so well!!!
2. ERP works very very well , 4 months later & Im feeling 90% better
Did you do self ERP?
@@Mona-iv7pb I did it through NOCD
God bless you for this content. I wouldnt wish ocd on my worst enemy. These compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety have crippled my life. I wish I was normal 😕 😪
Thank you for your very informative and positive videos. I find them a great help as I try to free myself from the OCD that has dominated my life for 33years. Over the years I have tried every medication that is normally presciped for OCD, saw a therapist every week for over 11years and bought an entire library of books on 'how to overcome OCD'. It is only now because of videos like yours that I truly believe recovery is possible. Thanks to your supportive words I have started to truly face my many fears, writing this is one of them. Best wishes.
Honestly just having your videos come up on my feeds helps me a lot. I always felt the need to check check check all the time and just knowing that your videos will come up every once in a while kind of alleviates the constant need to check.
Just wanna say I love your videos! Your advice has helped me a lot ^^
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Hi Nate!! Love your videos😊😊 I had some video Ideas for you because these are things I definitely struggle with/ have questions on
- real event/false memory ocd and unconditional self acceptance
- how to stop rumination and other mental compulsions
- integrating ACT therapy into ocd recovery
- self compassion in OCD recovery. It’s definitely hard to recover when you feel you don’t deserve to
I’d recommend reading The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris. X
I'll add all of these to my list! Thanks for the suggestions!
Ever I started listening to you my anxiety has reduced🙏😅
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
God bless you for what you do to help others through the process of recovery
Keep educating everyone. You are awesome and we all thank you.
I love your videos sooo much, and the idea that you feel and understand us makes me happy, Thank you for being here for us .. Stay safe always! 🌼
Thank you I have been looking for a video on how to get more OCD!! Some days I feel like I dont have enough obsessive ideas and it's hard to get through the day when I get these moments of not knowing what to obsess about next...
Lol thanks for the video 👍
Yep, my mind is definitely going to try and manipulate some of these because that's what it wants me to do, but I'm going to CHOOSE not to!
OCD often wants people to do things the "RIGHT" way to recover. The simple thing to remember is to live the life you want to live and that ends up being the best treatment.
@@ocdandanxiety my OCD wants me to know FOR SURE that every thought is OCD, or not OCD, or every thing I do needs to be checked, it is exhausting!
Please doctor can you talk about intrusive thoughts that are about feeling physical pain, imagining being tortured or hurt physically (not by myself or anyone in particular, just being hurt by sharp objects, knives....), and then actually feeling a sensation of pain and agony because of those thoughts?
I'll add this to my list! 👍
@@ocdandanxiety oh thank you so much doctor I'm in desperate need, God bless you!!!
Love this video man!
Hahahah I like this reverse psychology, helps a lot. Hey Nathan you should write some book about OCD, that would be great!
Thanks for the positive thoughts!
By 3:09 I was sure to comment the fact that I have been doing all the things you mentioned how to keep OCD around, I've been doing all of those and they all do feed on the irrationa thoughts, fears, compulsions, intrusive thoughts and obsessions, I guess I have been focusing on other mental disorder traits. What I wish I would have done is to treat my OCD in my teens because hitting rock bottom 24 years after having many blackouts throughout the years should have been the warning signs. No, I am not confusing OCD with bipolar, I already went that route. i have been reading on OCD symptoms, blackouts, false memory and treatment. I have a psychologist and I am trying to work through CBT but he believes I need medication due to some other mental illness clouding my judgment and who ever is going to say I am a nut case, thank you for feeding the stigma. Great videos and I relate to many of the topics you mention. Thank you for making them! exposure Response Prevention sounds like the best treatment. Thank you! ❤ 8:08
Thank you so much for your videos I feel like they have brought me back to the person I used to be😢
Thank u SOO much for ur videos !! You truly are helping so many people 😊my pure o ocd is way better now with the help of you, let’s beat this together ! ❤
This feels scary!
Same here
I don't care about thoughts occurring in my head. I won't to know for sure that those intrusive thoughts I have had about my kids when they were small weren't actually real occurrences. But I'll never know for sure, because I can't remember what's true or false in my memory bank. And so I'm depressed every day all the time, because I don't want to have ever been a heinous monster. And that's my life in perpetuity. And it makes me sad. Basically, I'm terrified that I don't actually simply have ocd, and that those thoughts were actually real occurrences, but I can never know for sure, and it eats away at my soul.
I really like this video 😂. This is so funny and also educational. It’s like a mirror!
Thanks so much! I’m trying to break the traditional boring talk at the camera. 😜
Well it worked!!
The irony is that me watching this video is actually giving into the research compulsion 😂
Same... oops
I thought I grew out of it, but here i am
you are totally not alone in this, what im going through happened almost 3/4 years ago. and its back currently. sure im scared and i've gone through so many panic attacks, but after watching these videos i realized that, i need to stop giving in. i need to stop being fearful of the things that are in my brain which i have no control of, so i just agree with them (sounds scary, even though i absolutely hate these thoughts and i personally know they arent true, i agree with it.) instead of running away from it just let it be! you are not alone. we will get through this, if you need to talk we can be here for each other!
How can you keep doing the things you enjoy when the OCD makes you not enjoy them anymore? I used to love reading history but now with OCD my intrusive thoughts have been questioning “how can I know this actually happened?” And then that kills all the joy I get out of learning history. I no longer enjoy it, through no fault of my own. What am I to do then?
ERP really is the only way!
When this OCD vid is making me anxious so I'm trying to use it as an Exposure.
That's the way to do it! 😄
so far so good, I like your videdos
Hi Nathan,
Pls can u do a video on how to recover from emotional contamination? I suffered greatly from this. Thank thank.🙏
Yes...I do need to do this! Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you so much, thank you so so much
thanks man i love you
Thank you so much sir 🙏
Relapse and lapses are okay it's not a destination it's just a journey
Hey Nate, any chance you can do a video on Metaphysical Contamination OCD? I've had it for years. It's a rare form but I'm finally helping myself get better. Just thought it might help others. Thanks Nate
If you think about it, OCD is OCD regardless of the subject matter....
What if the intrusive thoughts are still there all day. I kinda don't care about them but it's still scary.
We just gatta stop reacting to them and let go
@@redonyx9281 Yeah. So scary when it becomes small twitching/tingling in your hands..it makes me feel like something will take over me and I'm resisting some evil force, then some scrupulosity comes in cause I don't want that to happen...
It's terrifying what my brain does to me.
Hey dude your videos are amazing and you're a beautiful person! is your master your OCD course free? I don't have alot of money and my OCD has reached a paradoxial level of self destruction
Not sure if I have OCD or not. OCD help videos often apply to me. I got over wanting to do everything right and doing things how I want to do them, but there's still that lingering part of me that's scared, anxious, and obsessed with certainty. I try to accept that she's there, but sometimes she takes over and I feel confused again ):
do you get intrusive thoughts? do you do compulsions? if not, you probably don’t have ocd, but I’m not the one to tell u, go get a diagnose!
@@BackOffBrody Update: I talked with my therapist and we agree I have OCD. It's so clear to me now that I do! All those days spent with so much anxiety over irrational things I'd never willingly do! I struggle so much with rumination
You live and you learn
Thank you. 🙏🏽
Question- I have found that when I feel way too uncomfortable with uncertainty, I run to your videos and many other OCD channels to seek help / possible reassurance? I constantly seek out recovery videos and comments. Do you think this, in it’s own, is a compulsion??
Sit with the anxiety and uncomfortable feelings, they will pass. And try not to go overboard with the self help videos.
this is the cruel joke about OCD is trying to get help sometimes makes it worse and feeds the compulsions but i guess it all depends on the approach. for example when I find myself feeling like i'm going to slip up and go back to doing mental compulsions i watch these as reminders to at least not go back to doing it and react normally. however if you are watching these videos way too much just to distract from the anxiety, without applying his actual advice, then i would recommend to tone it down and maybe watch one or two videos then make an action plan and try to actively sit with the anxiety or check out his course. I haven't gotten his course but I am currently working with a therapist right now and I'm trying to confront the anxiety and uncomfortable feelings but on days where I'm not working with her i need a little extra help sometimes. though i am trying to not seek so much help and instead try to apply what i already know. i wish you all the best and it is very very annoying to deal with this kind of stuff but it's all about habits i guess and it will take some time but hope and faith always exists so never give up. ever. i feel like the biggest problem here is fear, and especially the fear of fear itself. cruel joke but yeah that's life i guess. bravery and courage is the way
I have been having that researcher role for way too long
I believe I have OCD I've been diagnosed with other things but I always relate heavily to your OCD videos,the intrusive thoughts have happened for years but have gotten so much worse recently I have them 24/7 and they're either images,false memories,or voices and they last the whole day.is it common to have them 24/7 and is it common for them to be more than just images taking different forms?
I get this too. There very reacurrent for me!. Every 5minutes or so on... It's very fast I make noises in my head or twitches then get afraid I'll get hurt koz people hurt me..
I keep a list called “how to make ocd more powerful” on my wall. Lol!!! Helpful reminders. ERP was highly successful for me but ocd be sneaky sneaky. It’s like whack-a-mole. I don’t struggle that much anymore, only during highly stressful times where compulsions just u know. Will make everything safe, haha. But I keep the reminders anyway. It’s just a good way to live life.
If you have meta ocd, play this video on repeat. It’s effectively an exposure lol
Nice man ...I am from India..
Ok so here is something I do which leads me to think I have OCD... I have tabbo thought or horrible thoughts and then physically hurting myself (with a hard slap or punch to my face), questioning my sexuality even though I am sure I am straight and whenever these thoughts come I do the thing, I have a feeling of if I think something will happen than it won't happen so I always think of thing that should not happen so that the thing which should happen do happen, reading my sentence again and again to see if I made any error even though I am having a normal conversation with my best friend (I have already checked the whole comment like 6-7 times till now), I can't go a day without talking to my parents in the fear that something might happen to them, and always thinking that I am alright cause if I tell anyone my problem they would think I want attention so I hide what I feel until I can't physically take it's consequences , although I don't need to arrange all things to the perfection but I wash my hands really often like even if I entered a restroom or bathroom and did nothing I still need to wash my hands, and randomly getting thoughts like if I breath or if the sun sets before 6 than I am failing the test (and the breathing one is not a joke)
The funny thing is someone is actually gonna do these things to not recover because of OCD.
Don't do these things...😄 Easy to say, but hard to do for sure.
@@ocdandanxiety oh I've seen first hand someone do these exact things but I don't think they were aware they had terrible OCD.
What if you want to research something about your health in order to find out the gentics and stats, is that an expousre or re-assurance?
I didnt need this video, i already do all of these points
@ocdandanxiety - Doctor... my job literally had me next door to my baby mother's house... who hinders me from seeing my son. I haven't been in his life for 13 years because of her cruel objections & wanting to put me on child support. It has caused me so much hurt emotional & mentally - that I was compelled to shift locations from my job to avoid potential threats. I tried facing my fears but it ended up back firing on me by her closing the door for me to be in his life.
By me not wanting to work in that neighborhood because of the attached trauma.... it has created serious anxiety. How do I overcome these thoughts? Would you be able to reach out to me please?
Great work, but you misspelled "continually".
What? I refuse to be told what to do! If you’re gonna lecture me like this, then I’m NOT going to problem solve, and I WILL go towards exposure! How do you like that?!
Can you do a video on Death OCD? Always thinking about my impending death?
Thank u
Leave my compulsions alone!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone he has OCD don't let to anybody convince him that he is wrong of doing some OCD
As a 34 ur old who suffered from ocd since 16 ,i got no hope with Iife.i keep loosing whatever i get in life.
Please get better my friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. You have to say no to that bully in your head
I dont know how to separate my compulsion and fear
This works for other anxiety.
Please give me some advice ! My ocd is about my vision,it tells me that i dont see right. And its become real i really feel that i have double vision etc...I went to doctors and they said there is almost nothing wrong with my eyeas. Is this OCD? Please answer
When I have my phone in the bathroom I always have to disinfect it, I know it’s absurd but it’s intrusively “necessary” I feel like if I don’t I could spread germs everywhere.. even if I remember not touching it.
I do that too. I usually just wipe it with peroxide. It’s really not crazy. You are in a bathroom
Or I don’t take it in there
Why won’t my OCD go away?
I’ve had severe OCD for around three years now…
I’m scared to take medication and after doing research I tried doing ERP on myself but I stopped because it was making my physical health symptoms worse, I worked with a level 1 IFS therapist but it wasn’t successful, and I worked with a level 2 IFS therapist but it still wasn’t successful… what more do I need to do?
How are you doing now?
@@AdolGlow
Hi, thank you for asking. I still have OCD :(.
I am seeing a level 3 IFS therapist every week now and I am doing somatic meditations daily, if I can, to calm my brain down without having to take medication.
I have a lot of hope these things will help me but if not I will try something else, maybe I will end up eventually taking medication or seeing an ERP therapist.
@@neirinjoseph6817 I will be starting medication soon and also exposure therapy.
@@AdolGlow
Let me know how it goes for you.
I should probably just do that too but I’m truly terrified.
I’ve taken quite an uncommon route, I know that medication and ERP is often the recommended treatment but I love IFS because I feel like it explains my OCD better.
@@neirinjoseph6817what are your ocd thoughts?
thank you for the video sir.
but I stopped doing compulsions but the brain never stops sending it's orders.
please help
I have religious OCD. I need to talk to someone who understands it. And yes, here on TH-cam
What king of thoughts
@@luisrosalesEAGLE Well, for one thing, whenever I make an excuse to myself, I feel as if I thought them _to_ God. Told Him an excuse. Something dishonest. I'm fine with Iying to myself, but not to God
@@johnrainsman6650 I understand you is not easy to have religious ocd that’s how my anxiety started there a few people who can understand but most don’t you not alone keep working bro you be fine okay remember JESUS CHRIST IS ALWAYS WITH US NO MATTER WHAT ✝️🕎
Good job! Funny! I posted How To Fail At Brain Retraining on my channel recently! 😊

Lol that’s hilarious! My ADHD was on a different tab, so thanks for the time stamp, so I could go back and listen 😂
❤❤❤❤
How can I do my exposures if I don't have time? My therapist told me to do exposures everyday 40 minutes with the same thought (i deal with mental obsessions), but soon I will enter school which doesn't always let me have that free time to do exposures without feeling rushed. How can I do exposures if I'm not sure it will be effective due to the time or circumstances?
How do you do exposure for mental obsessions?
Please come Live once
I need help
Hey Nate how's life
From my personal experience i feel you better cope up when you eat healthy and exercise and along side do erp then results come in better way otherwise ot becones a habbit of just another problem solving by watching videos
The issue is I know all the theory and still can't combat OCD.
You can. The best treatment is saying no to the bully in your head.
Guess no cure?
Cure usually is a black or white thing. Recovery can mean no symptoms for some, but it's not guaranteed forever. I've known many with no symptoms for years now.
@@ocdandanxiety I been having symtom’s.
Hello sir I need your help🥺plz help me
Hahahahahaaha I LOVE this video
Does anybody know if crying is a compulsion during rocd thoughts?
No. It’s just a release . Sometimes you just have to
I used to get rocd and every other form of ocd there is, took me 2 years to realise I was still fighting it off everyday, the day you let go and give up trying is the day you will start recovering, keep going !
@@adamtatham3572 Thank you for this comment. I'm happy to hear that, I have started meditating and just allowing those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings to be there and not reacting, it seems to be working.

Does ocd cause stress instead of anxiety?
Yes, I usually look for anxiety or distress.
