@@stacyn. I know it is the worst thing coz after 3 years of my marriage struggle somehow I convinced my husband to go for mental health checkup n then we got to know that he is having harm OCD symptoms. It's very difficult for him n for me also. He gone for therapy bt didn't work. Now he is not ready for any kind of therapy or medications. It's very hard to live now. I don't know what to do.
You’re like the nicest, most understanding, and most terrifying person as a therapist Lol, because ERP therapy is like the Monster’s Inc slogan “We scare, because we care.” 😂
I was having so much suicidal thoughts 18 years ago as a teenage. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder years ago. Got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Obsessing and doubting my myself, while also experiencing little to no anxiety at times has been very confusing for me, since I normally experience A LOT of anxiety. I’ve made a lot of changes to my health that I think helped lower my anxiety overall, but it’s also caused this new found doubt about my feelings…. Oh OCD… 😅
yep.. even when you do ERP more consistently the anxiety decreases. THEN you have OCD thoughts with no anxiety it can be very difficult to realize is OCD.. but it is still OCD with not that level of anxiety.. so don't doubt your *new* feelings, it's just OCD in a sneaky way
Yep that's why you still label it as OCD. Thoughts comes in "this is my ocd" "this is my OCD because my brain has a small glitch" "since it's my OCD, and it's my brain having a small glitch, I can disregard the thought as nothing but a thought". Remember, everyone has intrusive thoughts.
@@TheCrayonMan529 YES in my vocabulary I call it "layered behaviour" and "layered thoughts". wow i didn't know I was the only one constantly having layered thoughts.
@@zwangsweise_zwangsfrei I actually cultivated OCD on thought patterns of "solving" OCD. Constantly came up with strategies therapies and techniques that became intrusive thoughts and actual compulsions.
I sometimes wake up feeling great about starting the day and about my life. Then I have that feeling: "Is really everything OK? Am I not missing something?" Then I find stuff that is not "perfect", that might lead to problems, that my mind tells me I need to analyse and think about. Then I can spend hours doing that before actually starting the day lol.
Thank u soo much nathan because of you I'm able to overcome a lot of my ocd.. My parents didn't allow to be get therapy for ocd but then ur videos helped me alot.. Now I can say happily that I recovered from my ocd and nathan helped me in this... Lots of love and respect from my side ❤ pls continue with such videos.. U r the best..
Hey Nathan, thanks a lot for this amazing content. I've been living with OCD on & off for the past 7 years (the first 2 years were by far the most hellish) and I recently got back in a deep hole because of a small mushroom trip (I know, what was I thinking?). Anyhow, thank you for reminding us of what happens in the mind of someone who has OCD, it's life saving. And to everyone going through this, I can say that there is light at the end of the tunnel so hold on. I've been almost OCD free for the past 3 years (until that shroom trip which I did because I felt "cured" and much better). So there is a way out but this time I won't take it for granted ! Forgive yourselves and take care !
@@ocdandanxiety always watching, liking and sharing (whenever someone mentions anxiety/ not as much OCD I find it to be a tad more on the rare side) but I appreciate you and your channel immensely. It’s helped my cousin a lot too. Thank you man. Hope you’re well🤝🏻
I love you Nathan ,you’re just THE BEST THERAPIST IN THE WORLD!!with your videos I’ve learn a lot about OCD. My son has been struggling suffering since he was 14 years old, now 19 . I can see his progress . He was diagnosed with esquizofrenia, reality it’s OCD . Thanks to your explanation I’ve learned so much !! God bless you!!
This is so me! But you know what people, I still live my life not just for the sake of existing but actually living and know that you can too! I still have panic attacks quite often since now I'm moving closer to a life I've always wanted to live but it's been 3 years practicing erp..yup I can't assure myself if everything will just be fine in the future if or ever will I reach my dreams or not but this day I accept this uncertainty and I encourage you to do the same. Life is so much more than anxiety, three letters can't define me. Nat has helped me so much and still is a source of light in my life. Keep believing, things will be better for us❤
I don't know why, but whenever i hear "catastrophizing" it just calms me right down. I guess it just sinks it into my brain, that I'm freaking out. And i need to just relax or let something go. It's like saying "it's not the end of the world" but not in a jerky way.
Thinking of worst case scenarioa and perfectionism are the main things that causes me to ruminate.This happens when I have an urge or a thought that something bad will happen,I will try by all means to use logic to solve the problem .However this does not help as I just end being more anxious and ruminate more.
your channel has helped me sm already, the titles alone click with me right away cz i can guess exactly what you ll talk about and it makes me really hopeful. it makes me feel okay cz its really comforting to know this is a thing that happens not just to me, i am not alone. tysm for making this content, this is such a relief to me.
Hi Nathan, hope you’re well. Not sure if you’ll even see this but I really struggle with real event OCD and trying to problem solve things that are completely out of my control. Im 20 years old and when you were saying how a person with OCD can tend to make up stories and jump to conclusions, this has been one of the most negative thought patterns I’ve had for years. I know you were saying that flipping the thought around and looking at it as “who cares, maybe, maybe not” is a good tactic, but I still struggle with this. I was wondering how to properly implement this skill in my life. It’s been getting better, but I still really struggle with my OCD and reoccurring ruminations (even from a couple years ago) which I can see is kinda affecting my school and relationships. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos, ever since i started telling my thoughts "awsome! So glad to have you here thought" i am seeing improvment. Every time my ocd tries a different strategy to make me anxious i just say "cool, you can stay as long as you want" or "maybe, maybe not" It is sooo hard but i am doing my best so thank you for helping me realize that not only do i have ocd, but i can actually do something about it and be in control of my own head
Trauma by ppl can really m asks things catastrophic and what leads to OCD could be dud to fear of what happened to me so it wasn’t just thinking but experience
@@davidgrana1268 Accept it, move on, have fun in your day. Been doing that and I barely feel it these days I have some bad days but they are few in between and not as intense
Hey, I wanna ask if it is possible to be physical sick and you are scared and have panic attacts and you use these methods to ease your nerves and triggers so will it work? I am not in best health and worries me alot now and scared it will lead to something dangerous so will this somehow help me?
I wanted to thank you for these amazing videos and the help you are giving myself and so many others. You show us all that we can beat these issues. Thank you again for everything you do!
My health anxiety came back full blast. It was so bad that i had to get back to medicine. It was mostly my fault because i did all the thought patterns that you mentioned in this video. However, it was not as bad as 4 years ago. Because at certain times, i was in control of my own compulsions. I wrote maybe/maybe not on a piece of paper and just used it on my intrusive thoughts.
Hi. I know I have some all or nothing thinking , catastrophic thinking and personalize !! The problem is some of my thinking is true. I was feeding wild animals that became dependent upon me and lost their natural instincts- now they’re coming and I am not feeding because that’s my compulsive behavior to soothe my anxiety and I will lose my housing. It’s very difficult! I feel horrible. Thank you for this helpful info!
i swear whenever im having a setback u always upload i love u man thanks for taking the time out of ur day to even make these videos i appreciate u so much
OCD is genetic or somewhat learned/inherited from parents but it pops out as a miserable illness if the person is exposed to a stressful environment (bullying, stress, competitiveness, failure...). I remember having OCD since childhood (just right, symmetry...) but has never a problem until it spiraled down into anxiety and depression. Severe depression. Because I couldn't achieve nice grades in some subjects in school and had issues with my classmates (those stoopid mor0ns). I struggles throughout my bsc and generally in life. If something was deemed as difficult no way I would engage in it. If the professor told us, my exam is hard I wouldn't even open the book. I stills truffle a lot with self paced courses because they make me panic about the exam and just cannot get myself to study. I procrastinate a lot and I am internet addicted (IG, yt). So yeah I can't say I live on easy mode. Remember, what's easy for you might be impossible for somebody else.
I have really really bad ocd and It’s been getting worse and I think it’s the reason I’m not able to absorbs things like the fact that it’s the middle of summer already. I found out I had ocd when I ran up the street in the dark following a certain path and coming back I to the house for exactly ten minutes but I couldn’t time it so I had to count in my head exactly and do it 4 times but I kept not doing it right and I came home and cried and had a huge headache because my parents gabbed me and locked all the doors so I could leave the house
Jumping to conclusions is a thing which has become a lifestyle , i thought it was only wrong with meh but there are more struggling with this so it's feel that I am not wrong thank you
I am loving to watch your videos on youtube. It is really helping me. Thank you. ❤❤❤ Those videos are saving me. I would like to know if hypnoterapy is good to OCD?
Thanks for this video, I am suffering from catastrophizing and even if I try to questions my thoughts ,it doesn't work when I am in a situation that can trigger catastrophizing and I think that all of these thinking pattern are mixed up. For example if I am at work and I have to to do a meeting ,I am always so anxious that it's like my brain is paralyzed and I can't question my thoughts or take a step back from the situation 😭😭
I have a weird sort of Anxiety/OCD where i feel like for eg: if I bend over and my knee cracks that means in the future my knee will break! I really don't know what this is and it's taking over my life, it you can please respond with any tips I would appreciate it a lot!
Thank you very much for your hard work Nathan🙏. Can someone suffering from OCD have different kinds of it, like relationship, false memory, and fear of contamination and some rituals ?
It feels like if I don’t say I prayer or do something a certain amount of types something terrible will happen to me, my family, or my friends. I can in-vision it in my mine, too, and it’s terrifying. It’s worse at night, I can’t go over a bridge without thinking of the worst case scenario; same with planes, leaving something on that can potentially cause a fire. I’m scared, and I keep having to say 'Jesus I ask that you’ll protect me and my family no matter what.' and etc because I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD. I feel like Satan is attacking me and that something bad will happen.
I am so upset now, because I'm worrying about whether I handled the answer book correctly in the exam 2 days ago. I remember that I hold the book in my hands and waiting for the prof to come to my desk, and I remember that he already took the one's who sat on my left. And I checked my bag and table to make sure that I did not bring it out of the room. Am I OCDed?
You can't know everything. You can't do everything correctly. And you can't find answers on youtube. Go check yourself, so in case you get actually useful help.
My ocd drains every little bit i have of energy. By the end of the day i feel so hung over and sick. Sickness and vomiting feelings are just like a everday feeling or me. I really need help and therapy ive only done like 2 sessions but i hope the future is goibg to be good and well for me inshallah or no
Would you say from your expert opinion that hypochondriac, sis, a.k.a. health anxiety, which I have been diagnosed with is actually a form of OCD or at least an element of OCD? Because I am pretty sure based on everything that you’ve told me that I have OCD also or at least one or the other.
My ocd skyrockets when I have to lock the door and go out. And saying to myself "maybe I locked the door, maybe I didn't, guess we'll see" doesn't help. Tried it once, anxiety was too much and I had to go back and check again. And again. My fear and sense of responsibility can't calm down with a simple "maybe yes, maybe not, guess we'll see".
I use logical thinking all of the time. I have harm ocd and sometimes I can't help it to tell myself, I would have noticed If I touched someone and I would know how for example the texture of their clothes would have felt
feels compulsions to make vows to god I don't want to make and keep and always blame god for thinking he is trying to force me to make a vows and if I end up saying the vow I feel trapped and feel like god is going to force me to me the vow I did not want to make and it torments me
Amen to the black and white thinking! God has really helped me overcome this realizing each of us have a sinful nature that we have to overcome with His spirit and in ourselves we won’t.
So I have existential ocd, sometimes I think but by not figuring it out, am I not just suppressing it, like I’m not scared when thoughts come, but I’m scared of it still, so now I’m not figuring it out but I’m still scared of not knowing the answer like I feels an important thing to just not figure out, how do I deal with that?
I have religious ocd thoughts pattern like why i am not God??always just why questions so plzzz can someone help me plzzz reply to my comment shall be thankful to u
"You cannot use logic with OCD". Not entirely true, a person has to use logic to persuade himself to adopt therapy and without logic you can never reach to the conclusion that you need to stop using JUST logic over and over.
What thinking patterns do you catch yourself doing that make your OCD worse?
Light Switch’s.
Thinking of deceases makes my ocd worse.
Plz make a video on how to live 24*7 with OCD person.

I have an obsession with harm, I am very afraid.
OCD is the great mental pain 🎉🎉🎉
Would you say from your expert opinion that hypochondriac, sis, a.k.a. health anxiety, which I have been diagnosed with is actually a form of OCD or at least an element of OCD? Because I am pretty sure based on everything that you’ve told me that I have OCD also or at least one or the other.
Pretty much it is part of OCD
how do i know if i have HOCD or if i'm just gay in denial?
there’s no way to know
@@deku3i why not?
accept the fact that you might be gay and really sit with it thats the only way.
My ocd skyrockets when I have to lock the door and go out. And saying to myself "maybe I locked the door, maybe I didn't, guess we'll see" doesn't help. Tried it once, anxiety was too much and I had to go back and check again. And again. My fear and sense of responsibility can't calm down with a simple "maybe yes, maybe not, guess we'll see".
A mí me pasa igual. ...reviso y reviso una y otra y otra vez. Lo que me ayudado un poco es comprender que mi cerebro me está mintiendo...!
I use logical thinking all of the time. I have harm ocd and sometimes I can't help it to tell myself, I would have noticed If I touched someone and I would know how for example the texture of their clothes would have felt
Nightmare OCD.
Help me, dear Lord.
feels compulsions to make vows to god I don't want to make and keep and always blame god for thinking he is trying to force me to make a vows and if I end up saying the vow I feel trapped and feel like god is going to force me to me the vow I did not want to make and it torments me
Ocd starts off with must and should words and that makes you do things without thinking at all I should do this if I don't then I am done😂❤😢😮😊
What did he say at 2:23? Is it relievant OCD?
Real event
Amen to the black and white thinking! God has really helped me overcome this realizing each of us have a sinful nature that we have to overcome with His spirit and in ourselves we won’t.
I. Have all problems. That is have,ve. Sauded
So I have existential ocd, sometimes I think but by not figuring it out, am I not just suppressing it, like I’m not scared when thoughts come, but I’m scared of it still, so now I’m not figuring it out but I’m still scared of not knowing the answer like I feels an important thing to just not figure out, how do I deal with that?
I have religious ocd thoughts pattern like why i am not God??always just why questions so plzzz can someone help me plzzz reply to my comment shall be thankful to u
"You cannot use logic with OCD". Not entirely true, a person has to use logic to persuade himself to adopt therapy and without logic you can never reach to the conclusion that you need to stop using JUST logic over and over.
Ok. This sounds like ADHD. 🤔
