One thing I notice is it’s always something. Doesn’t matter what the content of the worry is really, my mind will just find something new to ruminate on if I “solve” on of my themes
I've been diagnosed with everything from panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, hypochondriasis (health anxiety), etc. Nothing they've tried for treatment worked so I gave up on hope and just learned to live with being miserable. I told my husband recently it's a marathon every single day just getting from Wake up to bed time. These videos have led me to research further and now I know why nothing has ever worked for me. All of my mental dysfunctions are driven primarily by OCD. This is life changing for me and is already allowing me to make progress for the first time in my 3 decades of life. Thank you!
Ive saw a ted x show by brain im not any sponsored comment if u have lil money u can visit their "Amen clinic" be4 that please qatch their tedx show❤ they handle illnesses of mind differently or thats what ive learned from that tedx video
These videos are life saving. Some days it’s really hard to take the abyss of nonstop thinking but having these to watch and knowing there is true understanding, like I’m not really going insane maybe I’m going to be okay.
We are going to be okay! 💗 These videos help me so much too and it’s truly taken me out of situations and thoughts that could’ve gone worse in episodes of intrusive thoughts and images. I try to remember not to focus too much on solving the problem and more on just not caring and giving my brain that reaction like “maybe, maybe not, you can come and go as you please, it is not a reflection of me or my morals and is just a thought that attacks the things you love or fear the most”
My theme is existential ocd and my trigger is coincidences... I started seeing them EVERYWHERE. Even though I know the theory about confirmation bias etc. it's so hard not to get triggered by them. Literally the hardest part of ocd for me ever
Me too. The coinsidences part is amazing time by time. I see signs like yes I will get something I dearly wanted. But than my head is trying to talk with me like if you do this and that you will get it if you don't do this and that you won't get it. Even after you try to let go of your dream which you come back to. This thing is talking again. So I stay in pain till I get my dream and then it may go and I can relax.
I had the thing with coincidences about 10 years ago and it resurfaces even now every now and then. It is easy one of the easiest OCD-related issues to overcome, you will see. You will see so many coincidences not leading to anything that you your OCD will eventually get bored. The hardest things are intrusive thoughts that affect your mood, so the root of the OCD. Those are hard to fight. I am still struggling.
This actually really applies to something I have been dealing with. I have been obsessing over my communication skills, and whenever I say something wrong, or I use the wrong word in a sentence, I notice it and get upset. But I have just realised that my brain is waiting for me to make a mistake to confirm my belief that I'm a bad communicator. Maybe I should shift my focus to the things I am good at and just wait until someone tells me I'm not a good communicator. Easier said than done, but I'm going to try. Thank you!!!
Wow, I have something similar to you. It's not the main theme, but sometimes I focus on not making a grammatical mistake when I speak and I check my mind if I make a mistake or not and I feel like my brain intentionaly want to make an mistake although I speak very corectly in my own language.
It’s so weird that my contamination ocd literally happened over night. One day I was petting my dog, the next day I couldn’t even touch him! Crazy! I want this gone! I love your videos. They make so much sense. Please keep making more. ERP is definitely tough, but hopefully it works.
Once my mind gets stuck on a dreaded topic it tends to stay that way no matter how much I try to let it remain in my mind rather than pushing it away. I’m starting to wonder if it could actually be rumination rather than intrusive thoughts.
This is something a lot of people, especially with ocd, myself too, struggle with. We just gotta keep practicing sitting with it, remember to not focus on the end goal of it going, just sitting
Hi everyone, a couple months ago I struggled with about 6 subsets of OCD. The main bring RJOCD and ROCD. You can recover I have gone from constant intrusive thoughts (IT) to a few a day within a month. Do ERP educate yourself and you can enjoy your life again!
I honestly think you are my saving grace right now, you really deserve some reward. I have suffered ocd since 12 I’m now 34 and iv had everytype mine likes to swap and change once I pass something. And even ocd therapist my whole life iv found just watching this makes me feel like I’m not alone and how much you get it is amazing thank you so much.
I've tried your exposure and response prevention therapy and it's the only thing that worked! I am finally out of my pain of 2 years. But I still get random panic attacks that last a couple hours... 😢 This got me thinking if it's ever gonna go away or I would always have a little bit of OCD in me till my last day?
If you have panic attacks that last for hours, do you have compulsive thoughts while they are happening? If you have, you probably should be working on your response prevention technique.
@@3cheeseup yes I do. I have worked on that technique and willingly exposed myself but it has an expiry date. Works for a certain time and then pops up again out of nowhere. I can't do them every time cuz most of them are out of reach and not the typical “wash your hands one”. Looks like once you get OCD it never completely leaves you
Interesting! This explains why last week when I was in the basement of Rock Bottom, Googl-ing, Reddit-ing, Panick-ing, Ruminat-ing, my brain was searching for everything in my memory to basically make my OCD seem real? And I was just FEEDING that algorithm haha! Makes sense.
Even though I enjoy watching these videos very much...could it be considered a compulsion in itself watching too many? I do get relief from them, but sometimes I'll watch hours of them. It's a lot of information to absorb, but if i can pick out just a couple useful tools..it's all worth it. Just thought I'd ask.
I think the intent is what’s important. If you’re compulsively binging these videos with the intent of avoiding these thoughts or finding immediate relief, reassurance seeking, checking, etc. then it’s a compulsion.

Hello Nate, you are an absolute legend. Been suffering OCD for 20 years or so. Your content is great. Do you have a somewhere I can DM you, just for a recommended exposure for my situation? Thanks :)
I have been obsessed with the way my teeth look so I got braces for the third time. Even after this last treatment I still feel like there's a problem with it and i cannot get over it. It is eating at me. I cannot eat or drink. it's scary. I think it's an OCD self-image issue.
Don’t feel that way when I was a kid it was so severe I thought I would never get better and now my ocd flies under the radar don’t give up I know it sounds fake that I say this but just be patient
I have been going through hocd for a while now, today I have a panic attack because I was ok with being bi and I even believed it and I freaked out now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking I want to talk to boys and go out with them marry one have kids and I feel better but then I think about this for a moment and I get scared I am so tired because I saw a couple people with hocd who ended up being bi gay and I m scared I'm like them I know im straight but I'm doubting myself, I only want to form close friendships with women nothing more but part of me feels that feeling is wrong I like guys and I want to date them but not now, I feel like I'm just lying to myself about my attraction to guys
@@tobiasernst9639 actually I've been praying alot to him, and everytime I tell him my new problem and fear it goes away, it sounds crazy but one minute it's like I'm back to my old life then the what ifs coke back, has this happened to you??
@@libitina4241OMG that exact same thing happens to me all the time , like some times it literally feels like I never even had it in the first place and then it comes back stronger
Is this connected to self harm ? The first intrusive thoughts I had was about self harm and I went outside yesterday and I was looking at the sky and a thought was like you’re gonna be in there
Its really shocking when ever i need your vdeos it pop up on my screen..since i m doing my ocd treatmnt from v long time and AllahmdullilAH i m on my way of gettng better but still sonetimes i need motivation and it comes from your vdeo . Thnk u so much it is realy comendable your efforts are worth being praised by everyone u desrve billions of like and subscribers too.hands down your chanel is the best chanel in my subscribtion list
So with ERP, you’ve got to gaslight yourself? Your thoughts are going “this will happen to you, this is what’s going to happen to you” and you just sit there also thinking “maybe it will maybe it won’t”? Or do you think “no, it won’t happen”?
Thanks Nate ❤ I’m really like what u said 😢 I’ll b more alert of it somehow 😊 I ve joined yr course n look forward to it hopes it gonna help me get out of that painful ocd as quick as possible. Nate, could u produce a video on hatred? I “hate” my parents for not caring about me since I was a baby n these thoughts kept running thru my mind with my ocd 😢
What is it called when you feel you need to start something on a specific day? I feel like it’s not procrastination. I feel like i have to start a project on either a Monday, Wednesday or 1st or 15th of the month, and if I miss the goal, I wait till the next round… What is this? Is this OCD?
I doubt anyone will see this but I have sleep anxiety it’s like all I do is think about sleep. Every night I get anxious over literally nothing. I get anxious thinking about if I will feel anxiety tonight and then end up having anxiety and can’t sleep. Idk if anyone like this ? Is this a type of OCD I try avoid. Certain things like a show or movie I think I’ll enjoy cause I’m scared it will interfere with my sleep and I’ll keep thinking about it. Or certain songs will get stuck in my head then I get upset and scared that I won’t sleep cause of this song. It sounds so ridiculous 😂but idk why I’m going through this it feels so real and scary like it’s the biggest thing I’m dealing in life like everyday it’s a battle with these thoughts. Some day I have it under control but other days I don’t 😢
I have this OCD of thinking about a person who is dead long time ago. who was a mere classmate of mine, that I didn't had any kind of relationship with, but my mind keeps thinking about her. even though iam very much aware that its just my OCD but i can't seem to stop thinking. do I sound weird? iam frustrated now..
but wouldn’t checking to see if im 100% certain of the thought so i can do the compulsion lead me to try and see if im sure of every thought and make me give it more attention? so should i just risk all thoughts and say maybe maybe not or do i have to make sure if one thought is true
My son will grab things even at home cups etc with napkins, but will have hard time with water too taking showers/washing hands because he also has Sensory Processing Disorder it’s so much how to help him??!
Embrace uncertainty. Once you start to understand and accept that you don’t have control and there are questions that won’t ever have answers to, you start to overcome the anxiety.
@@reichan2590 that’s amazing to hear! I’m dealing with the exact same thing and the de realization is what I struggle with the most but I’m staying positive and hopeful. Here’s to a better tomorrow 🍻

I am suffering and really struggling with Harm OCD. It is making my life like a hell and doom. I just thought of throwing 2 persons of the bridge and cannot take the idea out of my mind. I don't know what to do. I am really scared and afraid. I am not eating nor sleeping well💔. I am suffering with Harm OCD for more than 2 years and I am still struggling
You are truly not your thoughts, friend. Truly. You are the entity that sees those thoughts and is repulsed by them. Anyone who reads your message can see that. ❤️ Keep watching these videos, keep pursuing help - so many people feel the same way as you and there is SO much hope and so much help. ❤️
I will add one more thing, friend - consider trying NOCD! They will link you up with a therapist. It’s all online. When I did it, I was linked up very quickly with a wonderful person who helped me so much. I believe Nathan has mentioned NOCD before in his videos and perhaps he would know more too! ❤️
@@Jake-mj2kf Thank you so much for your support🌹🌹🌹. I truly appreciate it and Thanks again. Yeah So many people have this and its actually scary and doubting. I am following nathan videos and saw the most of it and it is really helping in a way or another but the feeling of fear is not an easy feeling to handle💔
Hey@@Ashkanouni94, hope you are doing well. I understand it's not easy always, but trust me if today you thought that you were your thoughts, I want to tell you that no matter what the content of your thought, you matter, not your thoughts. Remember, fear and anxiety are just feelings that come with the thought which do peak after some time! So learn sitting with the feeling without solving anything. I trust you that you will recover from all of this for yourself, regardless of whatever the thoughts. Yes I know the thoughts can go in the direction you don't want sometimes but that doesn't mean that's what we truly want. And yes exposures actually work! So please do your ERP even if it feels difficult initially, start with something easier and you will see a difference immediately. Take care.
What fears do you notice everywhere?
Thank you for the content you create on your channel btw its a big blessing
Harm OCD stuff. ‘Is there anything that could be used to hurt someon, if so keep it away.’ Which of course leads to thinking about hurting someone.
EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ITS LIKE MY OCD WONT SHUT UP 😭
@@blooper785 same
brussel sprouts, they are in everything nowadays....
One thing I notice is it’s always something. Doesn’t matter what the content of the worry is really, my mind will just find something new to ruminate on if I “solve” on of my themes
Erp is a practice, beginning to even notice you're doing it a good step. Ruminating is not problem solving, dont get it confused.
Yeah and eventually when you’re done ruminating about a new subject, the old one will return again 🙄
Same
Absolutely right
Yeah that's why the point is to not solve it. Just identify if it's an ocd thought then ignore it

I understand it's not easy always, but trust me if today you thought that you were your thoughts, I want to tell you that no matter what the content of your thought, you matter, not your thoughts. Remember, fear and anxiety are just feelings that come with the thought which do peak after some time! So learn sitting with the feeling without solving anything. I trust you that you will recover from all of this for yourself, regardless of whatever the thoughts. Yes I know the thoughts can go in the direction you don't want sometimes but that doesn't mean that's what we truly want. And yes exposures actually work! So please do your ERP even if it feels difficult initially, start with something easier and you will see a difference immediately. Take care.
Just accept that you can never find a solution and you are never going to be Ok with what OCD tell you …
Does this apply to rocd?
I need your help
