How do your intrusive thoughts present themselves? 🧠

[RedDeadSpree]

ocd really feels like a part of ur brain is actively trying to hinder u from enjoying ur life

[hanamaria]

my intrusive thoughts make me feel like such a disgusting person that it brings me to tears sometimes when they wont shut up

[justmadeit]

Our brains are our worst enemy at times

[Alpha-Scythe]

The reason why I freaked out so much about the intrusive thoughts is because I thought they eventually influence you to commit them. Because of how frequent they are.

[BBbalistia]

Thank you. I thought I was a horrible person, it’s nice to know that what I am experiencing isn’t something I invited and I am not alone. I don’t want to allow these thoughts to consume me.

[marjanegrimes]

My intrusive thoughts have been so horrible lately I want to not exist anymore. Hearing others talk about it takes some pressure off.

I didn't know I had OCD until like 2 weeks ago. Literally had it all my life and didn't even know the name. When I go back to when the intrusive thoughts became the darkest (I'm talking freaking r4pe, inc3st, p3do) and the most constant, I almost unalived myself because if you don't know OCD is a thing it just feels like you are thw worst person alive and you are beyond any reasonable explanation (I lived 3 years like this). Please be aware that these thoughts can be incredibly dark and it is not your fault, you are sick, not a bad person. You wouldn't blame a diabetic for not being able to produce insulin, so don't blame yourself. The fact that these thoughts cause you so much distress is a sign of your goodness ❤️

for everyone dealing with this you are *not* alone and *good* *luck* *God* *bless*

[srishtysamal]

Sometimes it feels as if I'm thinking such things intentionally. I would think "Oh you're not your mind so think whatever you want!" But then later on I find myself extremely guilty and feel like a terrible person. I even have nervous breakdowns. I don't know what to do.

[Alimohamed-qkel]

Can we take a moment to thank this legendary man for what he does. I seriously can't believe that these tips worked. I went to many therapist and none of them made a difference with me but you, you made everything that I wished for and thank you for that!

[RiffenJP]

Hate it when some of my intrusive thoughts start with "I want" or "I'm" and they're very declarative, it's really terror inducing.

[keegan]

This really helped man, I have intrusive thoughts a lot and it feels nice to know I'm not alone in intrusive thoughts.

[DonnHowes]

I got diagnosed with OCD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Thank you so much, Nathan!! You are a lifesaver. Struggling with “pure” OCD for 1.5 years now, and episodes of anxiety and certain temporary obsessions over my life, I didn’t get a formal diagnosis until this past December. Learning about OCD makes so much sense now! And the connection it has to previous or childhood stress and trauma. Your videos and your positive energy have made a difference in my life, as has therapy. You are doing God’s work. May you continue to be happy and blessed! We love you Nathan!

I was having this type of terrible thoughts these 5 last days, feeling like a bad person and was anxious about it, I’m glad that I’m not alone and can share my thoughts with you people!

[brandonarcos]

I’ve been dealing with this for the past couple of months it honestly has made me feel depressed and anxious/anxiety that it has taken over my life. This video really does help me because it makes me feel like I’m not crazy or not as guilty. I felt like a horrible person and couldn’t understand why am I thinking the way that I am but this video has truly open my eyes and I just wanted to say thank you 🙏.

[Groinch]

You just saved my life not even joking. I felt so horrified, disgusted etc about my intrusive thoughts. I never had questioned myself in regards of my thoughts but these thoughts literally made me question myself as a human being, as a person and as a partner to a beautiful wife. But this method seems to work against my diagnosed panic/anxiety and it's amazing, hopefully it'll become 2nd nature like before! Thanks and good luck to everyone.

I've been dealing with OCD tendencies and Scrupilosity for many years. These types of thoughts are just so draining and distorting. Thanks for the vid
