Thank you so much for this. This video found me at the right time. Seven months ago I had a very bad OCD episode after a long time (which I didn't know it was OCD until four months ago) and since then I have been dealing with very bad chest pain. I would wake up and immediately feel it, I couldn't believe what I was experiencing and I felt very disconnected with reality and myself. It was hell, because my trigger was something that made me very happy and my life revolved around it, and in the moment I was avoiding the trigger because the pain I felt every time I was exposed to it was unbearable. It's horrible, and very confusing, because the thoughts were even harder not to take seriously, the pain in my chest took all my attention, wouldn't go away, and I couldn't do anything to relieve it.

I hurt my hand a while back and it really caused an OCD flare up. I'm so fed up of it. I get so anxious when any symptoms happen. It's like you're trying to go about your day, but the symptoms keep drawing your attention back to the original trauma, which you're trying to forget about. Anyway, I'm learning more about OCD, awareness, attention, etc. I have such a massive embarrassment of this, and a massive pressure from it because I feel like "I'm not allowed to be weak as a man". Which I know is contributing to it. I totally relate to the "why can't it go back to normal" type thoughts.

Wow you nailed it! Everything I go through. The ocd conflates w real life and it’s nearly impossible or very tough to separate them! U R amazing!

You're gonna have a great time in Spain, I'm sure !

Ocd is hard. Thank you Chrissie. I hope you continue to help and spread awareness. We overthink so much that’s the problem too. I’ve learned if someone says something I got to not take it personal. This worries me the prolonged stresses on the body because of this crap

Do you have pain from.it

Just wondering - is it possible that you could have GAD as well as OCD? Sometimes they can be very similar. Even identical in some ways.

Does it feal like migraine in your shoulders

Ocd causes sycosomatic tms real good video and not alot in ocd pain symptoms

Avoiding the exercises you know will help: "Does that sound familiar?" Hell yeah!!

Make a video about hocd in virgin people. People that never have a chance to date but ever knew before hocd what gender they were attracted and have interest. Like me. I'm still a virgin woman but I ever knew I was so convinced I am genuinely straight, and I ever got rejected by the men I have loved and never made sex but ever satisfied my libido having in front of me pictures of men I have been attacked. But i kept loving the men I got rejected at distance, while genuinely fantasizing me with them, because sometimes love is letting your man go and live his own life while you watch him happy. This is my life before hocd came to me after I got accused of being lésb because of me being rejected by a lot of men, ever and ever again. This accusation of me being a lésb got me at a first time like absurd because my intimacy - ever alone - was me fantasizing with men. But ever since that day I got accused, sometimes I feel blocked about me genuinely fantasizing me with men I find interesting and handsome I catch on my eye daily, because of constants constants doubts of my feelings, my wantings and my essence... Please, don't make me feel alone Chrissie. I know it's very true virgin people dealing with hocd

Thanks

Obscure, taboo intrusive thoughts are boring to me…real life stuff has me constantly realizing how OCD is weaved into almost every aspect of life. 9:12
