this is such an old video but i just found you this week and cried. cried so hard out of relief that you understand. cried that i watched a video that described everything i feel and struggle with every day. it feels so good to have someone tell me im not crazy for these thoughts and to know im not alone in all this. its such an isolating illness. this year has been so difficult for me and my mental health and your videos have been giving me hope and some comfort. from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
This is my worst issue I suffer with it drains me and makes me feel awful.
Lovely Chrissie Hodges don't ever be put off or discouraged into not talking about taboo subjects on OCD believe me I believe it is of immense value.
thank you again. i’m starting therapy this coming week because of you. so thank you.

Because you not Chrissie. Chrissie’s helped but you’re doing this!!! Xx 😊😉
Every words you speak gets me every time, talking about finding reassurance and the thoughts of what if i don't have OCD
Chrissie thank you so much for speaking about these difficult and taboo issues so openly. I just finished your book today. You are an amazing advocate.
Thank you. Your channel has literally saved my life!
Chrissie, thank you for all that you do. I've struggled with violent sexual intrusive thoughts since i was five, and from college onward struggle also with HOCD, and when i started to suspect it might be OCD I started watching your videos and felt so much less alone and understood so much more of what was happening to me. i finally got the courage to tell my parents and the language to explain it to them so that i could get help once i graduated college, and i was diagnosed two months ago.
I never thought how widespread intrusive thoughts were. I always thought I was alone and that I’m in my own shell. I’ve been suffering this condition of killing intrusive thoughts for 3 months...tried exercise 20 minutes every two meals a day, took supplements and vitamins..stayed away from kitchen and downstairs.. Ultimately I had full control, and am still currently figuring out if my condition is mild or moderate because sometimes when I’m doing something else and if I’m focused on it, I forget that I had these thoughts.. The first time I had this, I thought my mind was telling me that this was the real me, and I cried over and over..over time I got used to it because I realized over time that I had self control but the pain just makes me feel like it’s the endgame everyday. I never understood the concept of “don’t fight your thoughts” When I saw that video that “Mental illnesses don’t make massacres” I was a little bit relieved. I think I wanna go into Exposure Prevention therapy...does this also help this strong feeling of “isolation and the end of your life” go away?
Thank you for doing all your videos xxxx
You're the best! Thank you!!!
Just a couple weeks ago I was on top of an Rv cleaning and was afraid I was going to jump off. I felt the pull just like you said about the knife situation, which I have had to. I had to put my dog out of my room for fear I would harm her when I woke up. I hate this.
Hi Chrissie I’m a few years late but I’m buying your book today!
You're awesome :)
Thank you so much Chrissie. Your videos always come up when Im needing help. I have messaged you before about my Obsessions about Pedophilia and harm in the past. So much you talk about in this video is so me I cant explain how much.Even listening to you I am already debating the part where you said the thought is a fear not a desire. I straight away thought how do I know mine is a fear or a desire!!!! Even tho I know its a fear of mine. I don't want to be one but my thoughts make me think Iam. I really would like some great therapy. Ive been to so many psychologists and they have taught me things but I still suffer badly with the guilt and shame about my thoughts and the worry about Im a monster and what if I do something. Hope you can help me please with whatever you think I need. Thank you xxx
I have recently been diagnosed with HOCD by a therapist ( not an OCD specialist). I want to do ERP , but I’m afraid I won’t be able to generate enough anxiety because I feel kind of numb towards these thoughts since I’ve had them for years!
Thank you 😭😭
My god i thought i was the only one like this.
I spent 20 years thinking i was a monster...........I just had sexual themed OCD. I did not learn this until recent and am working on seeking help. I have repeated this in every video I see with this topic to remind myself its not my real me. My only thing is I am not afraid of sex or kids. I heard lots deal with this.
Thank you for this video Chrissie, what you said in his video is spot on, can you answer a question for me, what if you start agreeing with you intrusive thought and you say I don't care anymore and I want it and agree with it and then after realise what you said and say sorry. But can this happen you start agreeing with your intrusive thought? Thanks xxx
Would you make a video of a erp guide how to break pure o, pocd, hocd ect:)? Would be great because so many of us don't find good erp specialists in some countries. :)
Need help with this soo badly
Chrissie, idk if you’ll see this, but I have a question. I’m dealing with a sexual theme I’d rather not discuss. The meds I’m on are for mood disorders and it keeps me from feeling guilty, but it doesn’t stop me from getting really anxious. Sometimes I wonder if I’m crazy or really am a monster, but I don’t feel bad. I know that a theme can last for 6 months to a year and calm down. Is it normal to not feel bad when in recovery. It really does scare me, and I’m afraid I can’t recover. Do you have any advice? Thanks, Bri.
I have mild autism and also I had experience with intrusive thoughts
Hi Chrissie! If there is anyway I can please get in touch with you I would really appreciate it!
I have this and it affects me so badly at times
Are there urges in sexual intrusive thoughts?
🙏🙌
How can I get that book which u wrote
I don't do that in anymore taking advantage of me
You should translate the book for all languages
I’ve gone to CBT and for my first ERP I was asked to watch straight porn and record my feelings throughout, is this right? (Hocd)
