I feel like a god

Tourettic OCD is treatment resistant

Hey Nik really enjoying the content in the video. I just need advise in a situation where your anxiety is so high that you cannot focus on a task. I know procrastination on a task is not the answer here but do you have any strategies to combat this? Thanks!

HOCD is a camouflaged name for SSAD (homosexuality). "Treatment" should be banned.

Hey Nick, love the work you do here! I have a question. Ive been dealing with ocd themes switching up (existential, sensorimotor earworm and breathing, moral scrupulosity) for some years and Im so used to mental compulsions. I avoid, control, distract myself and I do this because acceptance for me opens room for hypervigilance of thoughts, kinda like I cant automatically and efforlessly think things. My ocd theme drops from whatever it was and latches on the act of acceptance as soon as I think of it, and makes me stay panfully hypervigilant of thoughts, just like in another form of sensorimotor, so I engage in control, distractions to make it go away. Now I dont know if this is a byproduct of a change in behaviour ( from control, to that I dont really need to control thoughts or to even know what im thinking about) and so the mind blasts me with resistence and tricks like this or if this is forcing acceptance aswell. Sorry for it being kinda long worded

So that's why I do not like any project I begin to do...

DAMN MAN YOU FAST. But I cherish your words. I'll try to keep them in mind to not forget this during stress

Masks and shirts

Absolutely. Thank you

Hi i am trying to contact ocd recovery, is there an email address i can contact for pricing and setting up a recovery plan for 1 on 1s etc?

You can have REAL same sex sexual attraction arousal and worry “do does that mean I’m gay ” no such thing as false attractions. Idk where this false attraction came from all because the person experiencing doesn’t want to experience it makes it false ? No. At the end of the day the feelings are real and they’re flowing through your body. So yes you can still experience same sex sexual arousal.. and now people obsessed now does this mean I’m gay. Which both can be true you can be or not.

Hey Nick i had a question...should I be actively trying to have the thoughts that scare me in order to sit with the thoughts/feelings exasterbate the thoughts or should I be going about my life and when the thoughts come agree with them and go about my business?

Thank you 🙏

This is a challenge for me. Helped me when you said give up the fight on a moment to moment basis and ask why doing certain things. Thank you for all you do

At some point it can be purely physical. Just like my Tourette’s, all the techniques in the world might not be enough o fundamentally manage it if it’s severe. Give yourself some grace. Do your best but if you need to, be open to medication or surgery because the brain is plastic but not infinitely so.

Sir I am squeezing my forehead to focus that is cousing a lot of strain in head

Excellent video nick……I definitely overthink

Hey! Could you make a video on self harm ocd?´

We can’t trust we just need answers.

What do you have to say regarding people who are sleepwalking through life, living like a dead robot, beating around a dead horse? Because I feel like that many times and I only seem to get recovery done when I feel alive and try my best to be conscious.

Me too. I reached this point

Very helpful advice only if me in 2015 would have got this tip

Only if we instantly got the feeling or feedback of getting better the whole process would be a lot easier. Too bad that it has to be left uncertain.

The biggest problem I am currently facing is knowing and understanding the real view of myself and life and world and others.

After shaking most of my devastating obsessions... for me personally, I've come to realize that my nervous system is just that... it's kind of nervous, easily triggered, and then persistent. I don't think I can change its core, but I don't know if it's like that for everybody. In terms of OCD, I'm just vigilant that things don't get a hold of me. Like, I'd catch myself going back to something (like compulsive checking) where I shouldn't and then don't do that, overcome a bit of micro-stress, and that's it. Or, like recently, I noticed that despite not having any major OCD problems, I do fill in my general tendency to become anxious with time on my phone. It's funny because it didn't even register as such. When I dealt with the somatic and dr/dp stuff, I knew full well that I was trying to overload/distract my mind with my phone, but now reasonably trouble-free, I didn't even notice. Guess that's how things creep back in, huh? It occurred to me when I restarted with nicotine pouches and at night my sleep suffered and more unrest in the nervous system. "Like damn, I still use this phone to keep me calm on some level." Then right there, I catch it and start going back to laying in the dark (after reading or watching the final thing on my phone) just like I did before to deal with my previous issues, and the problem dissipated. Also, I noticed something there that was interesting... just the willingness and intent to use discomfort (going back to the darkness and not stare at a screen in this case) as a means to 'break the spell' so to say is strangely comforting and helpful within itself. I don't know if that is because I walked this path before or the bravery shown to yourself somehow unlocks something. Long story short, to keep my own nervous system as calm as can be, I correct myself where I identify unhealthy patterns emerging. Which is less of a battle than you would imagine actually... it's not that hard and it serves its purpose of keeping me good

But never use this techniques as a tool to get rid of nothing, simply do It without expectations

Is it just me or do the intsive thoughts tell you you want the other side to score and that you cba with the limbs when my side score one of the most annoying things because I’m still paying and traveling great distances for this game week in week out I’ll never stop but I would love to work on keeping these thoughts away from

There is a relaxation techniques that doing proprerly and constantly are very efective and helpful

So helpful ❤

Hi sam, what team do you support? I'm a man united fan

Thanks so much for this

Life structure can turn into ritualistic compulsions for people who aren’t well versed or further off in recovery. I think it’s better to go with the flow as structures can often become the areas of certainty and control

I had to learn to use mindfulness meditation to relieve some ocd symptoms. I still use that book called 30 Days to Stop Obsessing by Harper Daniels sometimes, it has simple exercises I like.

Yeah once I see something I’m the news I won’t be able to stop for like a week or 2

very useful and to the point.

I am convinced every morning that i am failure, no family no life, just work. Complete failure. Some times that thoughts wakes me up at night and no sleep anymore. As day pass by, that thoughts are not present or very little. I have gad but it sounds like ocd to me. Even if it is ocd or not that thoughts is all true anyway. 🤷‍♂️

What if my ocd latched onto procrastination? For example, "procrastination is terrible and worst. Since im doing it, i cant accept it" 💀🫤 thats so trickyyyyy

Amazing video!!! I related to 100% of this video!!

My 30 year old son refuses to get help. I can see he has ocd/scrupulosity and managed to find a therapist but he refuses to speak with him. He argues, shouts at me, blasphemes, acts completely mental saying hes going to hell. Its terrifying. Yet, he manages to speak with his old school friends as if nothing is wrong. I'm not well through it, I'm suffering from his behaviour. How can I encourage him to get the help he needs

would love to hear part 2 of hocd and relationships!

Hi Nick. I'm in a relapse into desrealization, but I'm seeing it as something good for me to use the tools I've learned.

Femur example got me like 😂😂😂

I needed this video so badly. I almost didn’t want to live because of frustration of the “dog barking” or “people chewing too loudly” it made me tortured so badly.

Bravo Sam👍
