i’ve been panicking on and off for 12 hours. my brain won’t leave me alone and i’m so tired, thank you for your videos

This is actually amazing advice! I’m Muslim, and I remember reading about an incident where a person in a mosque kept feeling like they hadn’t washed/cleaned themselves properly and werent clean enough to pray until it became troublesome. So in order to help them and break that fear, the imam (priest) had them go to the bathroom, sit on the floor, and then get up and go pray without checking if they had any impurities on them. For the common person, this seems extreme and they’d probably never pray after doing something like that. But in a similar context to what this video mentions, you have to aim higher than the target in order to “break” whatever you have anxiety about.

My fear is phone calls I have huge anxiety about it, but always when I finish the call I think to myself 'That was so easy, why did you panic so much?...'

I’ve been struggling with overcoming memory hoarding OCD. Each morning I wake up and instantly replay previous OCD thoughts … which in turn cause me to have increased anxiety. when I can’t remember certain parts of the memory…. I start to search to find an answer, and I’ll spend hours ruminating and questioning myself about if I should search my old phone for the answers, checking social social media accounts, and even asking other people their opinions which is crippling me. My OCD themes are almost always about the past and trying to discover why something happened. Its like I HAVE TO KNOW!! :(
Im always uncertain and sometimes it hard to know what’s real and what’s simply fears & OCD.

I am currently doing exposure therapy about getting the train. So I started with some small trips, then the rail authority closed the train line for a month, so now I start all over again. Driving is another one, and I'm slowly expanding my range even if I am still getting big anxiety symptoms. Being consistent and doing it often seem to be key.

This is the kind of video i love to watch. Thank you so much. Saved

My Exam is in 2 months, and my Ocd is worsening. I have tried many times to stop all these but I always give up. I am under medications but medicines make me drowsy and dull. My ocd has seriously affected my studies in the past few years, and it is now attacking many other things I love doing. I have been kept in my mental jail and tortured by ocd for a long time, I can't take it anymore।

[ChukwuedoUwaechue]

Thanks so much this video is a life saviour I think your video is way more helpful than therapy it's brings me peace thanks so much much love ❤️ ❤️❤️

[anchyka]

I'm writing this in hopes that someone has the same problem as me because I feel so alone in this. My main ocd theme is about rabies and whenever I see a random object on the street like a bag or something similar to that, my brain makes me think that the object was a bat, and then a false memory develops that I saw a bat on the floor and touched it and that I have rabies now. Then I have to wash everything, the clothes I wore that day and everything ever and continue worrying and ruminating and doubting was it actually a random object or a bat and if I'll die from rabies if I touched it ...I feel like Im going crazy

Yup, i need to courageously face my fears

[moonshine]

Even though in theory this is a good idea, life is not offering us so many opportunities exactly when we want to face our fears and calibrated for our level. A more practical approach for me was meditation (search vipassana). The concept is simple - when you feel fearful or anxious try to identify the sensation in the body, then concentrate fully on the sensation. It will disappear in a few minutes, with it also the feeling, you'll get relief. In time you'll understand also where it comes from. Once felt completely it won't reappear. The idea behind is that every emotion needs to be felt in order to be gone. Of course you might still have fear episodes, that are triggered by other past events, but you apply the same idea. That's *my* understanding of facing fear. At least works for me.

Oh my God i was waiting for the video and it is right here🎉

When I get waves of negative thought and ruminations I think about a ship in a storm. Anyone who’s driven a boat knows that when waves come you don’t want to take them broadside-you have to face the wave and let the ship go up and over it (or sometimes partially through it if it’s an extra massive wave). Nonetheless, have faith in your ships folks. As the great Mark Freeman has said: “it’s just brain weather”. And as Tank Tolman says: “Keep your oar in the water.”

[ComplicatedSimplicite]

I totally get this when you have a physical fear but what if your fear is in the future. What if you fear aging or getting cancer. I tend to google constantly looking at my fears but this only makes it worse and worse but wouldn’t googling about it be facing it or does it not work like that? Would you even be able to face that type of fear?

[patrickanderson]

Nice thumbnail. I love Aloy and HZD/HFW :)

[Drawizzles]

But how do you do a exposure if it's future fear of death and losing loved ones one day? I mean it's a fact that it will happen, for me and loved ones. On bad days like these i think almost 24/7 about losing them and if i can handle that, how it will look like, how others handle it. How my own death will be. Then the emotions come to play and the DPR, and get triggered if someone has to go to the hospital, or i see loved ones, and myself getting older. I know it doesn't help by enjoying time with them now, and still i get stuck in these scary thought. The first thing i wake up i think about it. I really don't know how to handle that thought. Because i try to think ok yes it will happen someday, but for now you don't have to worry about that. We will figure it out when it actually happens. But i really don't feel the words i am saying to myself. Is it normal to not feel it at first for a very long time? Or does it mean i'm not doing it the right way?
