This is so helpful. I've just recently noticed that. Exposure can only do so much. We need to surrender and let go of control. As someone who has OCD, the more I think I can control the outcome, the more I suffer. It's freeing to just let go.

This is exactly why you should never give reassurance to someone with OCD. Instead, you should remind them that they have the skills to work through it themself.

Trying to figure out what’s going on with my mental health and you came across my FYP and I’m now wondering if it’s actually been OCD I’ve dealt with my whole life instead of just anxiety. Do you ever see undiagnosed OCD turn into depression or exhaustion?

My 16 year old daughter has ocd and autism. Shes currently at a facility but it seems so hopeless because the two disorders seem to make treatment impossible. Give me hope.

Yes; I’ve found that I have to get myself to the point of acceptance. However, it is a constant challenge TO accept.

This is interesting. I watched your last video where you said OCD is specific fears rather than general anxiety. Based on that, I think I have OCD. But those specific fears have changed throughout my life. The phases last a long time but it’s like my anxiety latches onto something new. Is that still OCD?

I had an episode on a plane (I passed out & woke up in the middle of the isle with several people around me). I now have major anxiety of flying & haven’t since. It’s taking a toll on my family because I won’t fly 😔

emetophobia is interesting because safety behaviors (often avoidance) DO often prevent the bad thing (most of us go many decades without being sick) and it’s hard to convince ourselves to drop those and expose and accept the outcome. the outcome for me from one stomach bug as a kid is lifelong GI disease (not uncommon, happens to 1/9 people). so idk if i’ll ever recover because I don’t want to accept

Or they lean on medication will fix this and when it doesn’t they spiral so what would you suggest with this

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! I have found the same thing in my practice. It works, and everyone can benefit from it! I second what you’ve said! 🙏

But how do you just surrender or accept? If I make that decision in my mind, I may feel relief for a brief minute, but then the extreme worry/anxiety comes right back. Acceptance never lasts for more than seconds to minutes.

could you talk about skin picking? i don't think it's technically ocd but a lot of ocd people (including me) struggle with it

Mushubi :
Hello! What acceptance technique can you recommend for someone who just found out she has ocd 2 weeks ago? It has shifted from one subtype to another; (self harm ocd, mental illness ocd, obsessing about doing the erp right to heal, obsessing if what i am doing is feeding the ocd, obsession about having the ocd and it being gone) I feel like the fear i have most is im afraid OCD will take over my life and ruin the life i used to have 2 weeks ago :(( i want to heal so bad from this and get my life back
