I can relate to running to the ER thinking a heart attack or some imminent danger...then relief once speaking to the doctor and then shame after while leaving...thinking it my head that I not only let myself down again but also my family...It has taken me saying you know what-screw it- whatever happens in the future will happen I cannot continue to with the time I have left like this.
Earlier my theme was stomatic OCD but then OCD just morphed as i stopped fearing the sensation fears changed like to health OCD is really trick and now i 100 percent believe that a small change in my body is cancer
I’ve been struggling with this for years now and was wrongly diagnosed with health anxiety! it’s really hard! I finally got diagnosed with ocd this year and got in with an ocd specialist today
Rob, did you experience having "clarity moments" once a theme would latch? I hear almost everyone experiences "the truth" under their OCD, but I don't- once its latched, it feels like the utter truth until I fully accept. Thanks always!🙏
My health fear is developing schizophrenia. I had accepted this fear and finally got to a place of acceptance and was doing well. Recently, the fear morphed to my wife developing schizophrenia and I feel 10x worse now constantly checking to see if she is displaying symptoms of the disorder. Any tips when dealing with the fear of a loved one developing a disorder I fear ?
yep same, i deal with schizophrenic ocd as well. my brain is convincing me my creativity is schizophrenic and that say characters i come up with as an author will “tell me things” and “tell me what to do” yep it s a very weird one

Breaking down the fear of the disease is 🔑
It’s dementia for me, absolutely petrified of it.
You will need to look at exactly why you are so scared of it and break it down.

Hey Nicole! What we usually notice is until one develops a stronger level of acceptance it tends to simmer in the background.

Whats Rob saying on 40:36-40:40 ? Can't grasp whats he saying. Anyone?
So is that true that anxiety can flair up pain through out our bodies? Thats crazy .
Anxiety can do whatever it wants! Took me a while to see that
Yes do you have it
What happened to your hair?
Lmao i do feel anxiety in my biceps but probably through the tight pec in combination with tight upperback.
Those are common areas where anxiety activates tension in the muscles.
@@OCDRecoverydo you see it daily
What if you actually have illnesses and their not made up
What do you have
What happened to your hair?
Invention called a haircut 💇♂️
