Sam, I’m terrified with how desperately depressed I am, I have chronic insomnia all this year, haven’t worked for over 10 years, drifting, I have ocd, intrusive thoughts sometimes, I feel like a bad person, I can’t concentrate or read a book and I’m not eating. I was on a psych ward for 3 weeks voluntary in feb and I’m at the stage i may have to go back to keep e safe even though i didn’t improve in there. I’m age 50 and can’t go on much longer. I have an agitated mind. I’m scared
I am doing much better at the moment struggling with rocd and hocd. Mainly with the hocd I still find it incredibly hard to accept that it might be a possibility, what imagining the worse case is part off. Apart from that Thank you very much for this video and sharing all this content!
Me to I have phobia of these thoughts disgusted angry unwanted thoughts remember always hocd is irrational thoughts liar big liar your always be the same person always you will not change
Very good video Sam because when I do my disputing sheets, I often see this false belief come up - the other people in this group just experienced anxiety that small potatoes I experience neuropathy in my whole body. It’s much harder to have both…How can I accept this? and yet I can see that the program is healing me by leaps and bounds so I am already living the worst case scenario i can only get better from here.
Sometimes I think, “is this actually ocd?” “What happens if this is actually something that I need to pay attention to?” What should I do when I think of this? It’s very hard for me to ignore my thoughts because I’d feel irrational if I do so😢
@@louisemclachlan5014 It's accepting it - not agreeing with it. Go back and listen to the part where Sam talks about the fear of dying of cancer. It's similar to a suicide theme. On a side-note about money: I have been poor most of my life. But I managed to pay for an OCD specialist. It's a lot of money. But you can explain to the therapist that you only have X dollars a month to spend. And maybe you can afford one session a month. One session a month is better than no session. Hopefully this helps & good luck to you.
For me personally I say to myself "if it's happening, it's happening, and all my resistance won't change that." So yes, I do surrender to the possibility. Because I can't do anything about it either way.

What do you do when your worst case scenario is physically happening like psycho somatically. It’s so hard to get out of

What if I have religious ocd? Do I just accept that I might go to hell?
