I was told by a friend's mother, whos a therapist, that ocd is just ADHD on a higher level and it makes sense to me
Anonymous185806
ali is right about that no amount of reasurance is enough. I close all my apps before sleep. then i put on flight mode. then i turn the battery off, then i have a specific spot to put the phone, the next morning i can still ruminate if my dream about my ocd theme and go to my activity on google. To try to figure out my sleepwalk obsession.
Anonymous185806
i came back to say that i know its ocd, see the messages before as a warning why you should never use reasurance behaviour. This is completely in my theme of ocd so i came to the conclusion to disregard because it isnt rational, its a fear I fed way to long

Is it rational to freak out? Am I already in ocd land? my phone was completely off so im really confused by the activity, on the other side, these apps where nothing out of the ordinary but the times where off.

Anyone had this issue I was able to do treatment then all of a sudden I couldn’t do it it was not because of fear the thought is different to my other normal or ocd thoughts…….. for some reason I’m given no option to interfere in my head I’ve always been able to disrupt my ocd thoughts

Hello everyone, I had the shock of my life yesterday when I did a exposure. At the most horrible time it could've been I got In a really weird stage of arrousal (times 10). Idk what to do, I cant explain why, i didnt want it. Am I mixing up extreme anxiety with arrousal? I read it could be a groinal response but it felt extreme. Please help, Im convinced this isnt ocd

Hi, can someone give me CBT advice on contamination OCD? I don’t understand how to view germs and I feel very guilty if a drop of bodily waste gets anywhere other than the toilet. I can find nothing online other than people saying “just don’t do compulsions.” This isn’t helpful I need someone to change my thinking. Thank you!

She also mentioned in one of her podcasts to use an aggressive reaction, like agree with the thought but in a sarcastic way. I have been doing that and then just letting the thought be there how ever long it wants. It was in her 3 ways to react to a thought episode.

Accept the thought and move on to another task as if it was no big deal.

When Ali says to disregard and say something like, "I don't believe that thought, it's an OCD symptom." Should I actually say it to myself in my head or should I simply ignore the thought all together and not say anything? What is the best approach? I also want to thank Ali for what she does and all her help!!

Has anyone noticed that it says 12am on the tracker instead of 12 pm. Driving me bonkers!

I hardly have any anxiety, but my attraction to the opposite s*x hasn't returned liked it once was, also I notice same s*x all the time, with no anxiety?

I can absolutely relate. I think it is the uncertainty, why it is so hard to let a thought go. That’s why it is so important for us, or everyone, to life with the uncertainty.

What if same thought or memory just constantly latches onto your mind? You ignore it but this is the first thing that you remember when you wake up and last thing you think before you go to bed. It's pointless and a closed chaper but still even after disregarding it just never goes away. Any advice?

It's so hard to remove rumination about my compulsions from the back of my mind. I think this became a problem because I feel stuck in life. I don't have a lot going for me and thanks to these compulsions I'm afraid to step out of my comfort zone

Hi Guys, I think I am suffering with HOCD. The entire day I keep worrying about if I am gay. I have not been able to sleep or eat past for a past few days. Everytime I step out of the house, I look all the girls and guys and analyze if I am feeling anything.

I’m having a hard time knowing that anxiety is not always a bad thing and it’s trying to protect you. Then how do I know when I disregard if I’m supposed to be scared or not. Irrational vs rational thinking is keeping me stuck

My biggest compulsion is researching on google/youtube on a daily basis. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop?

I think I know what you mean. I have physical compulsions that I sometimes perform unconsciously. Even just slight anxiety can see me perform them, so it has become a frustrating habit that's difficult to break. I haven’t any helpful advice; I just try to discontinue the compulsion as soon as I’ve noticed.
Seamstress
It's not the feeling bad that is my biggest concern, it is learning how to not react so quickly to the high anxiety.

As for how to prevent future relapses, I think one of the most important things you can do is to learn to trust yourself. When we’re afraid of ourselves or the unknown, OCD takes control in an unhelpful attempt to protect us and our values. If you can come to trust yourself, OCD won’t have as much room, if any, in your life.

My ocd was gone and now it’s back in full force. How do I stop having relapsed after I have fully recovered?
Flaaffy
Anonymous183772
I think that the first step is to forgive yourself for relapsing. Then, pick back up the tools that helped you overcome it the first time. I’m guessing that OCD has found a new theme or angle through which to get you to engage with it. The theme might be new, but the OCD is the same old OCD---it still needs your emotional reactions and rumination to fuel it. Do your best to disregard it.

I haven’t too much experience with depersonalization, but I recall that Ali’s method is to recognize it as a perception created by OCD. Do your best to not ruminate on it. Avoid reacting to the sensation with fear. You have to treat it like you would an OCD thought. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. Ali has more videos on YouTube about the subject, if you're interested.

Hey guys. I struggle with OCD & along with that comes daily depersonalization. Does anyone have any tips on disregarding the DP? It's been going on for years now.

I use to deal with HOCD. Best way I found to face it was go along with the thoughts "well maybe I am gay, oh well. I have other things to focus on today." Or "I've had this thought so many times before. Just another OCD thought. Oh well."On with your day. It's hard. But helps.
