“what if i got to jail? you’re already in jail!” - honestly the best ocd clapback i’ve ever heard😭👏🏾

6:50 "this is a physical issue, it is not metaphysical...the brain needs to heal, those neuro pathways need to die out" - this is something that a lot of people miss. They think that just by putting the right action into practice, or even just knowing what the right response is, that this will solve it like it was a spiritual issue. But it's like growing a garden, you can't water the seeds once and then get disappointed that there are no flowers the next day, these are real, tangible, physical processes that need to be fixed and it takes time and discipline to get there, it's not a fluffy case of changing mindset and all of a sudden you're better.

When i had my first OCD thought I didn’t know what to do I didn’t know what is going on with me i tough i am getting crazy i lost 15 pounds and so depressed that i stoped going to work .. Now i have fun with my OCD every time i have a silly thought i just start lounging and tell me yeah bro its ok . Sometimes i start deep thinking too but when i realize i do that i just tell myself no i am not playing this games anymore. It gets easy and easy but sometimes it seems real . Just don’t believe your emotions . Emotions are fake !! Thanks for your help Ali Greymond . And btw its also interesting too have ocd there is always something to think about at work and time flys like that lol

the way i learned to accept uncertainty, was realizing that the 1% chance of the thoughts being real, is waaaay better than any probability higher than that. and from that decide that im not going to be a slave to something so minute. no matter how you look at it, its going to be a leap of faith, but dont let OCD ruin your life.

I felt like you were talking to me directly. Thank you.

I don't have OCD but I have suffered with generalized anxiety for most of my life. I believe your advice can be applied to my situation and others as well. Thank you.

[thebgagabati]

It's very easy to speak but difficult to practice.

[shardaramcharitar]

Sometimes I really can't tolerate the ocd thoughts anymore I really wish to put my mind on silent mood

[calliepearl]

[tommytommy]

Thank you so much Ali! Your videos have been very very helpful!

[millstreetteut]

I got depression from ocd now i ruminate about the depression all day

[Anton]

Thank you Ali for what you do, your videos helped me a lot to better control my thoughts and rationalize. According to your experience, is there a cause that originates OCD? Any past situation or trauma that could have started it? Thanks again, you're amazing, only a person that had OCD can explain things as sensibly as you do.

What ever you say is extremely difficult to bring to practice

[bevbev-tl]

Blinding in the here and now Ocd taught me life lessons Choosing and LIVING life STOPping Wantching checking was pure PAIN deserving my health and feeling GOOD was my biggest revenge, ocd was ruinning my life and doesn’t deserve me I faked till I make it true don’t know to check anymore or look back I don’t know do it how to check fake till you make it attitude .Life is so uncertain And that’s the Beauty of it living with mystery And go completely new heal me and we are supposed to close doors that is uncertainty the new themes truth is never a repetition i didn’t have time And don’t want to know no rights or wrong mentality now .

[V-man]

I know what worries me isn't true, and despite managing multiple times to convince myself that it shouldn't worry me, my brain just keeps bringing it back. And it also brings massive waves of anxiety with it, which makes it impossible to just ignore. My head is literally going to explode, I am sweating from stress! What is this OCD madness? I've literally had it my whole life and I can't defeat it...

[hassaanatif]

I remeber when I had severe kind of OCD I used to keep on washing my hands, face and body. I would continously feel that I am not tidy enough. It was horrible!
