Like 99% of my compulsions are mental but for a little while now they have turned into physical compulsions as well. Does this mean that my type of ocd is different or is it still the same?
in my case "type" of ocd changes. so i wouldnt call that types of ocd at all because i experience all of them at different times. sometimes i just need to touch things until it feels right and sometimes i get really bad intrusive thoughts and no physical compulsions. so i think that ocs is ocd, there are just different variations people experience, some mighr experience one and some might experience all
hello mam.....am suffering from pure O for about nearly six years.my obsession is about seeking answers for everything I do..for example if am speaking to a person suddenly a thought comes into my mind and asks me to answer that how am able to speak, and my fear is if am not able to answer to that thought I will not able to talk/speak since I didn't answer the question arise by my thought, this has been so much of hard work for me to lead a normal life.slowly those feelings became so strong that I remind thinking about answering that whole my 24hrs.... please help how can i get over this....
oh gosh i tough i was the only one who was doing this. I have harm OCD about being schizophrenic or having psychosis and i'm scared that i will lose my mind and start hurting my loved ones it's hell and my compulsions is to seek an answears for anything or to doubting my thoughts. I remember i was walking with my friend and all of a sudden i start thinking how the fuck do we move or legs or how the fuck did we speak or realized things. The worst part is i know i'm very rational and i understand all the thing i see and what illines i have and that i will not loose my mind all of a sudden but everytime i say to my mind "ok this is OCD is nothing to be scarred about there are just toughts" i keep getting anxious and i think "what if it's not OCD and i'm a psychopath bla bla bla" and the chain starts going...From when i understand what problem i got and there is nothing to be scarred about im not that anxious anymore but the compolsions are still there and it's hard as fuck to not do them. Stay strong man if you're still fighting we are in this together
I have pure o ocd and it is very tormenting with my obsessions and constant rumination. medication helps a little but I wish it helped more because of my constant obsessing and always doing mental compulsions. I wish it was more out there so people could lose the stigma and understand it better. there is a lot more than what it looks like.
I usually get a word or someone's name repeating in my mind over and over again this can last for weeks. Do u have any techniques for this. If so please explain. Thanks and hope to hear from u soon.
I can suggest a tip of mine, think of an awesome song you like and blast it (in your inner volume) loudly so you can drown out those thoughts, force a thought into your main center of focus.
@@ocdhelp hello ali thank you soooo much for your videos i am doing recovery since march 2020 ive discovered i had ocd at that time but my first ocd thoughts or attitude if you want began when i was 14. I only discovered i had ocd at 22 but as you said in lots of your videos it would come and go and then once i had a bad ocd attack that lasted during summer vacation. I thought it was the teenage phase etc but it was with the ocd that manifested more. I just entered high school too so the stress might have played a role. after that my compulsions became.more mental but before it was reassurance seeking with my family, feeling that I needed to confess, religious ocd with asking questions, confessing etc and also intrusive thoughts (harm ocd, among others) then as I said it was not that visible but everything was in my head Pure O And lots of themes and sometimes no specific themes but lots of compulsions like figuring the thoughts out and rumination. Also with periods of less OCD and sometimes more The more I had it was around exams and changes during the year Funny thing is that once i went on vacation and i can remember i had almost no obsessions and compulsions So to conclude last year in March i figured out i had OCD with the help of one person in my family that told me that what I have are pops (referring to the thoughts) and that everybody have them The difference with me is that I discuss them , I serve them tea and coffee, do their make up dress them etc hahaha. Like I let them in and let them settle down in my brain (aka compulsions) from that point i decided to ignore them as she told be by actively focusing my attention on what i was supposed to do during my day I did and realized something at that point Why would I do thiS? I am not a slave to my brain. I googled: I have pops what to do And there I found a video of a woman called kathie dath who talks about ocd And then found your videos too The thing that alarmed me in the first place was the fact I began to have stomach ache -》 upset stomach And from there we understood I to.much anxiety and stress and they were symptoms of me doing compulsions I hope you were able to read all the message and I am now almost 1year doing erp . I had step backs and set backs but I know I must each time continue no matter what and they are part of the recovery process. even if I need to continue until I am completely recovered , I was interested in becoming a therapist like you. I feel there is not enough people knowing how to treat ocd With the correct method that is erp. Do you have any recommended certificates schools etc
how to deal with automatic response of brain towards an obsession?
Thank You Ali Greymond !. .
Thanks for this, I think this will be helpful. Would you be able to do a video on scrupulosity?

Usually a song that gives you a happiness feeling or a sense of calm generally ^^
also try praying for mental protection against such things in jesus's name.
There is nothing about this in Sweden. Luckely ive had good teraphists but still. It should be more out There!
There is definitely a great need for people who know how to overcome OCD. I am in Canada and there are not enough specialists here.
