How does your OCD hold you back?
I have learned here that it SCAMS me out of HOURS of my day, weeks, years!!! It prevents me from being as happy as I can be in life and I want Change! I am creating change! Thank you
It keeps me from doing things I need & want to do. Its a struggle every day.
Makes me compare looks and body's and ruminate. Because of that it's hard to enjoy time with my partner
It makes me spend hours ruminating and obsessing that I’ve done something wrong.
I ruminate every day and it prevents me from playing my video games.
Just 3 months ago I was having daily panic attacks just going to lunch with my work mates. Today I will have my first date after a long time. I'm so happy I slowly get my life back even though it still feels like a rollercoaster most of the days.
Woahhhh! Way to go. Good luck on your date tonight! What a great example of someone living their life!
Let's go that's amazing news :)
Hey, I want to know how you managed to cope with your panic attack. I had a panic attack in the office and the fear of having another one is just holding me back and not letting me go back there. Should I go or should I not. My brain is just ....
Nice :)
@@lamiahussain5412 my panic attacks at work stopped when I started treatment. It might be the interoceptive exposures that helped with panic most (I’m not sure though because I also did in vivo and imaginal exposures at the same time). I suggest you Google it and try interoceptive exposures yourself.
i really like that you joke around in your videos, it makes the topics feel more light-hearted yet informative & helpful, and allows me and hopefully many more to laugh at our brains! thank you
Brilliant, thanks Nate! OCD is kind of like a bad habit that needs to go.
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my content is making a positive impact.
I get a repetive thoughts about my relatives coming into my university and ruining my career , whenever I get a though about any of my relative my mind automatically starts playing videos and images of my relatives coming into my university, this thoughts makes me so anxious 😟 please anybody help me 🙏 please reply
Thank you for all you do!! You're helping me with my worst OCD moments.
Let's all agree that NOT even the meanest most malicious people on the planet deserve to suffer with OCD!
I was having a pretty good day when my anxiety about my intrusive thoughts started to bring me a lot of anxiety. Recently, using TH-cam videos and podcasts about anxiety and OCD have been my compulsion to make me feel better about my condition, but I made it pretty far in the day until I watched one. This was the first one, and I gotta be strong and help myself
I'm glad this guy is here on TH-cam. I am much better from OCD since June 2021. Your thoughts fears worries are imagination. It's not reality. Move forward towards your happiness
Nate is the ultimate analogy master. 😄
I feel like I have analogy glasses on and am looking for ways to connect OCD to anything. 😉
literally 😂😂
@@ocdandanxietynate I get intrusive thoughts that my family relatives will come to my college this thought makes me so much anxious and worried 😟 please help me . I always pray to got that please keep my family and relatives away from my university then I get some relief
Here in the old world, those bicycle supplements are called "stabilisers"-- which is apt for your analogy.
I've always had OCD. It's like it was built into me as a default setting. I don't remember ever being without it. My very first memories are of me performing compulsions at 5 years old, crying and not understanding why I couldn't stop. So... I have a wealth of experience in this field. :)
Your videos are everything I need. They're just incredible. I'm in a "safe space" because I've been taking medications for a long time. However, I started feeling my safe wall being penetrated by the exacerbation of OCD, and I was slowly but surely going back to square one. But the information that you provide is unearthly. Man, I can't express how much you make my life better and better. Personally, it's so much easier for me to prevent physical compulsions. I would say at this point I don't have any because it was relatively easy to let them go. It's the mental compulsions that are MUCH HARDER for me to deal with. And boy oh boy, they've been ruining my life since I can remember myself. I do as you say (not without exceptions when OCD takes over, but still) and I just... feel unbothered by the thoughts? I let them be, I don't click on the ad. Sometimes I just agree with them because it's too much. But I know for sure that just a few years ago these exact thoughts would have eaten me alive and I would have ended up at the mental hospital again. Thank you.
i appreciate you so much Nate! thank you for doing what you're doing. Lots of greetings from a girl from Denmark who finally started in therapy🇩🇰
Thank you for being a voice for this. I’ve been struggling with OCD for months and you’re helping me take my life back. I appreciate what you do
Ive been going through postpartum depression and anxiety and your videos have done a lot for me thank you so much!!!
You are an inspiration Nate. Even after years of practice and bunch of good information, I find myself learning new ways with your videos. Thank you for what you've done for this community, truly appreciated. I guess I can speak for everyone who has visited your channel so far, or should I say maybe maybe not. :)
Amazing video as always! Thanks so much for all you do Nate! 😃💖
Thank you for making these videos. They always give me some extra motivation to stay steady in my ERP therapy when I need it most. The work you do is awesome.
Always the best help and content!!
Another awesome video Nate. I love your approach and style. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your time and support.......best wishes from Liverpool 🇬🇧💖🇬🇧💖
You are the Best!!!! Keep doing your videos, they are great❤
The goat of ocd recovery. Back with a new video. Lets gooooo.
I love your videos , they’re so helpful . God bless your soul brother
I am struggling with unspeakable harm OCD and THAT'S WILD because I'm a super great mom and advocate for children. I've been struggling for around 9 months and I have mostly gotten the hang of it and it's like the worst compliment ever because if I were not such a bright, shining soul I know I wouldn't be struggling this way. 😭 but it's still so awful. I'm going to get better though.. I'm going to beat this. Thanks, Nathan for your videos.
Hey Nate, thanks for the great video. I’m a Lutheran Pastor in Chino, California who struggles with OCD and scrupolosity. I learned severe videos from my therapist Diane Tiberg, and I really enjoy watching you.
ERP is the best treatment and it works people ! Keep doing it and you get better and will recover! I had harm OCD.
FOR REAL MAN?
would you recommend it also for HOCD?
@@ApexFlex-pn8wq yes please do erp but with a professional therapist or do the master your ocd course. You can do it and most likely you find the fear won’t happen. Good luck.
I get intrusive thought that my relatives will come to my university this thing makes me so much anxious what should I do
I currently suffer from Harm OCD, how did you overcome it ?? I have Pure O tho , i typically think im evil or such things
Love your videos! Thank you for all you do!
The thoughts get me down and make me live in fear I have several themes👍
Really appreciate the vids man. The first really threatening OCD thoughts I had involved acts of self h@rm. I was in a really big rut for about 3 months until I actually found out that I have OCD. I started doing CBT and ERP through a counselor along with your channel. It has gotten way better, and all I have to say is maybe OCD will win, maybe not.
These videos are so helpful. 🙏
Thank you Thank you!

Your a hero man
You’re an amazing help in my life❤ thank you🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, I’m going to take the risk but know I will be taking control.
Your videos help me so much 💕
You teach us so much ❤
I'm really struggling to apply this while working in healthcare. My fear of bloodborne pathogens has ramped through the roof. I work in dental offices and there is often aerosolize, and while I trust my PPE. It's the coming home part and not tracking anything it.
❤ thanks for this video
Thank you. You are wonderful.
❤ you are awesome!
Nate, can you please do a video on an ocd theme that’s not talked about enough, which is the fear of psychosis OCD and how it can warp your thoughts, and some of the compulsions like constant mental checking for delusional thoughts and whether you truly believe them or not etc.. Please 🙏
Just say to yourself yep I’m going crazy Im super excited, do the opposite of OCD. I had this bit a little bit and went away into another theme which I have recently recovered from.
He has a video about that already.
Search "am i going crazy Nate ocd"
thank you so much for this
Inspiring ❤
Thank you!!
Thank you man!
Hey Nathan, is it possible that watching the videos are actually a compulsion? I struggle with constant problem solving for my own anxiety and now fear that reviewing the videos is one of my compulsions. Thank you so much for your videos and all that you are doing to help!
Yess❤
Can you please help me with hair picking.??
Please it will be huge on me nate🥺🥺.
You see it's hard to study when you have this types of urges while studying and it's get really embarrassing when you're studying in public places.:((
I'm trying to overcome it with the help of you're previous videos but it's really hard 😢.
Please suggest something,it will be a life saviour!!!!
Every thing was going well but when one morning i decide to expose myself to the place where i had my first panic attack it feels like im back to that old anxiety mode
Anxiety is totally destroying my life i literally feel sick and dizzy everyday,even the smallest tasks are too big for me to handle 😢
Please recommend some books to read to fight ocd !! You are saving lives everyday thanks !!
The Compulsive Reassurance Seeking Workbook is a new one that I wrote the "foreward".
Freedom from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is one of my favorites.
Is Exposure and response prevention effective with Generalized anxiety disorder.
Or there are other options that can help.
One argument my compulsion goves when i dont do it, is that" see u avoided me that day, i came back, one day u have to do", which is uncomfortable.
I constantly ruminate about if im gonna develope scitzophrenia, personality disorder, if im manic, or gonna go crazy, my grandpa is also in psycosis cause he has ptsd from war and im afraid its gonna happen to me, anyway you can make a video about this?
Thanks Nathan 🌍
I miss you more than you ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever does this sound like ocd?
Nate. I live my life and don’t avoid anything. I work, train kickboxing 5 times a week, in the gym when not there or at work, I have friends, eat good and don’t ruminate, but I still have anxiety and it feels like my brain is stuck and I’m always uncomfortable.
We call them stabilisers in the UK. I think that works even more with them being compulsions
Ohhh interesting. I love all the different words and changes between countries.

What would be the compulsion if the compulsion is only mental? For example, not wanting physical sensations so the OCD targets those sensations and the checking of the sensations won't stop. Is the checking the compulsion? This goes a bit deeper because you can focus on something without thinking about it. So the focus is still there while your're doing something else if that makes sense?
And in this case, how would you apply the advice in this vid?
Hello,rumination is primarily automatic.I suggest you to read the book :
"How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything,yes anything" by Albert Ellis.Hit me up for more
Nate mine is about my health I have bad physical symptoms from panic and I ruminate and sit scared all day….been to the ER 5 times in the last two months. Just go for it right just do my daily life….
Hi Nathan, is your treatment course tailored to each person or is it a general type of treatment. I feel like i need personal guidance to help me learn how to stop partaking in mental checking of my body. It seems like sensorimotor ocd with regard to eating / swallowing. I dont know how to disengage with the internal checker while eating. Had this 5 years now. I have loads of books and have been to therapy but haven't done erp yet. I find it hard to know how to apply these teachings to myself.
It’s designed to help with all themes of OCD because we aren’t really treating OCD themes. We’re treating the OCD. I do have special videos for different themes though.
@@ocdandanxietyI get a repetive thoughts about my relatives coming into my university and ruining my career , whenever I get a though about any of my relative my mind automatically starts playing videos and images of my relatives coming into my university, this thoughts makes me so anxious 😟 please anybody help me 🙏 please reply
I never thought of OCD related to positive outcomes like the viral video example.
Thanks for your comments! I hope you're doing well!
This reminds me of something my wife was talking about to me the other day. I think it’s called Ominous Positivity or something. Basically, it’s “good things will happen to you and there’s nothing you can do about it.” “Good luck and fortune will curse your life”
What about when you have mental obsessions and compulsions? For example if you have rumination has a compulsion does that mean you resist the urge to ruminate? Or if you pray right after your obsession you resist the urge to pray?
The only part I disagree with is, but there’s nothing wrong with washing your hands a lot. As long as you don’t make your hands start bleeding frequent handwashing is fine.
Does doing exactly what we want to do mean we have to do it with the anxiety there? I understand maybe short term but also long term? I do everything right but I still don’t feel like my old self
😂But I Doooooontttt Like It 😋

Questioning if I am lying to myself
Rocd and attraction
Do I really like her? Or did I lie from the start ?!
But deep down when I drop that I feel like we’re good together
What if you want to do something but it turns into a compulsion and you feel forced to do it?
ERP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOCD?
Is there any relation between OCD and Alzheimers? What about OCD and superstitious family values?
I have moral scrupulousity (without religion) and it is the worst thing I've ever gone through. I could not stop doing the compulsion of confessing to my family. It got so bad that I went to stay with my brother for 6 weeks. I've gotten quite a bit better, but I'm scared to go home and be around the people I used to confess to because my ocd has made them a trigger, and I hate that it's done that. I return home in one week. Do you have any suggestions for when I'm overwhelmed by old triggers. My compulsions were so intense I felt out of control.
Hello!
Read the book :
"How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything,yes anything" by Albert Ellis.Hit me up for more
My training wheels are lustful magical thinking and sinism...coupled with rocd. I've come to realize I don't know what or who I really am. I like a lot of stuff and I don't like a lot of stuff. Some times I don't like the things I like. Hard to find help too
Hello,there's hope for you.I suggest you to read the book "How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything,yes anything" by Albert Ellis.Hit me up for more
Yk i have really bad mental compulsions and im 16… im obsessed with comparing myself to others and feeling like im not enough and feeling bad about myself and whenever literally smth really minor has to happen to just trigger these obsessions of feeling horrible about myself.. and i start comparing myself and get anxious becoz i don’t wanna feel like this.. and nothing seems to help and that monster inside my head knows that im doing the right thing rn to overcome this so it stops me by pulling me into intense rumination… it gets so bad😩 and literally any behaviour of mine can trigger those obsessions of feeling bad .. like even writing my true feelings here in this comment would make me feel horrible about myself like why can’t i be strong this n that.. i just expect things to be absolutely out of this world perfect!! So bad!
Search for Dr. Greenberg articles online. He has good technique for working against rumination (RF-ERP). Also do loop tape with your worst fears and play it while you’re busy.
Sir I wanted to say I want to buy a mobile but I don't know why my mind keep telling me the world is going to destroy after I die because I bought that mobile when I am alive and after death the world will be destroyed so Sir should I do the opposite like buy the mobile I want and don't care about future I know it's really funny ocd or anxity but should I do what I want
Existential thoughts about solipsism, dont know what to do and my mind is always saying everything is trying to convince me

Man I have trouble comparing looks and body's and it messes with my relationship and I just wish I could stop and apertait her better and stop the ruminating
🙌
Pls how can I stop my ruminations??? I don’t really understand and I just want to kms pls help me
Its in his recent videos just scroll down his videos you’ll find it! Hope u feel better soon!
@@panktivora505 I don’t understand it properly and tbh at this point it’s really hard for me and I am planning on taking my life.
@@Smiley_pop hey its okay it takes time to understand , trust yourself u can do it!
I know it feels really hard but I promise if you keep going it will get way better I’ve been there before when my ocd got insanely bad but I promise it gets better and you will get your life back if you don’t give up just try your best not to do any compulsions I know it’s hard but it gets easier
Please dial 988 to reach the suicide hotline (if you are in the US). Just Google for other countries. Please tell someone in your family or friends so they can support you to get help. You are not alone. There is so much help out there. You are worthy. God loves you!💗🙏🏻💗
Agoraphobic? PTSD Major Depressive Disorder to name a few ... I think your videos are helpful I struggle daily but I keep trying
You’re right we can say “What worse could happen” 😊 this is like getting vaccinated you eject the disease to the body and teach it how to handle that right?
My OCD is getting much more religious rn
Strong eg: It makes me think of doing something very anti religious, n suddenly my mind curses God(intrusive Ik) n because it is so sudden.... it makes me think that I am the one doing it or did that on purpose(as I was not thinking anything about it n yet it was so specific, n so I am actually that kind of a bad person)
IT'S ALL MOSTLY INTRUSIVE
Second off, uses the example specificied that every other sin can be forgiven but not this- in my religion
And then, there... creates as many acts of it as possible
Just.. makes me think n centers my entire, good, bad, angry or all kinds of situations around it ugh not sure(a while back example)
Anyways-
But what I fear does happen. I fear illness like vomiting and flu. We do get those. That’s why I struggle
I can help with that
Mine is the fear of anxiety. I have anxiety about anxiety.
Hello
Read the book
"How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything,yes anything"by Albert Ellis.There's a specific chapter for your exact fear. Hit me up for more
How to control OCD while studying
Stop doing compulsions by refocusing on studying.
Also do ERP with the core fears around the obsessions that you have while studying. You can do a loop tape with them and listen to them while doing your studying.
HOCD?
Every ocd has the same mechanism, just different topics to be anxious about
It feels like it will becer go i am just 15 years and having existential ocd 😢
And sometimes this thoughts feel like truth and good question about life after life and death
Help me I wanna feel like before i wanna trust that my family is real 😢
And sometimes I think like how will i live without them
and if they die will die with them but again the thought comes if they are not real they might be illusion and if I die i don't know what will happen 😢😭
What if the fear is having a lot of stress. How do I confront this? How do I not stress about stress
I actually have the same problem.
@@johandeen6096 what kind of symptoms show up for you?
@@findingyourself8310 It's basically health anxiety. It's the strong conviction that stress is bad for your health, especially when it's long term. In other words, stress needs to go. The OCD attaches on this which creates a loop of getting stuck stressing on having stress. So I actually don't have much stress about anything just about having stress. So I tend to focus on the stress every day and that creates the stress that needs to go. But I'm unable to let it be there or not focussing on it. It's the believe that it's bad that makes me focus on it every day. And I can't get rid of this believe because all science says it's bad. And it also feels bad.
@@johandeen6096 yes!! This is me as well. I definitely understand and feel your struggle. It because very exhausting and somedays just becomes hopeless. I have came a few times where I was able to focus on what’s in front of me for couple of hours so that brings me joy that it’s possible.
Ignore the previous comment. Nate, Do NOT film me.😂 delete vid
I’m f*cked.
I can help,what's the case for you?
Thank you! I love you ❤
Thank you❤
Im afraid that my thoughts stay with me like random images and hurting and that's trigger my compulsion, even though the thoughts are past after a while... it's all about afraid in my case.
❤
💜
