Banger video, Nick 🔥

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Joe-br2xr]

Thank you for this video Nick! I have a question. How long (as in days, weeks, etc) would you typically recommend for someone to dispute their core fear on paper? My fear is the fear of k*lling myself, and I mean fear, not actual su*cidal ideation

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Hey Joe I usually recommend 3-5 days per week for a month then a month off, especially in the beginning!

[@ThePurpleApe]

Thank you Nick!

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Very welcome Purple! Always appreciate the support

[@ImLehwz]

Hey Nick,
I don’t know if this is the right place but is there a possibility you could do a video on not knowing who you are? I find it hard to differentiate between what’s real, what’s not. I barely know what a ‘real’ feeling is.
I appreciate the rational approach you guys have.

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Absolutely! That's actually one of my favorite topics to talk about, I'll do that this week!

[@ImLehwz]

@@OCDrecoveryNick awesome! Thanks

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

@@ImLehwz Very welcome!

[@asapgee6478]

Lmao you read my mind, I feel the same way

[@ImLehwz]

@@asapgee6478 haha, nice!

[@alexpeterson7856]

Thanks. You mentioned head injuries and postpartum and nothing else but I think there are actually other issues. Also that chemically contribute . I have type one diabetes and ever since my blood sugar fluctuations begin going up and down regardless of how hard I try to control it I have had severe depression and anxiety issues. I think my mind is still responsible for much of the suffering,

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Hey Alex - Yes, other issues as well but majority of depression stems from beliefs or are largely affected by beliefs. It's important to cover that a lot as society moves in the opposite direction.

[@techsavytronicstechsavytro528]

I dont get it, it's like ive mastered and studied how OCD, fears and beliefs work... but cant seem to see any consistent progress even though feelings/symptoms doesnt usually equate to progress in general

We can help! 📧 [e-mail]

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Hey Tech! One thing you could be doing wrong, I made this mistake a lot is unknowingly trying to make OCD go away by using the tools. It sounds weird but we can be subtly trying to force it away.

[@Murano179]

Wow nick how did you deal with breathing ocd
When noticing every breath and what if I stop breathing

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Hey Murano - I've basically had every single sensorimotor one can have lol! I have recovered from them all 🙂

[@Murano179]

Then the first step in recovery breathing is to what

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

@@Murano179 Read the books on our reading list to get a better understanding of how to break down beliefs

[@FarakhSair-tm2dk]

I suffer from neurotic depression 😢😢

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

I had depression really bad, but there is hope Farakh!

[@dilwich]

I don't think the medication route is ever the answer.

[@OCDrecoveryNick]

Hey Dilwich - It's easy to think that until you've worked with thousands of people where it's changed their lives.
