13:17 when I’m deep in the intense feelings or in this case, the “doom… there’s no way I can be fixed” moments I just take a moment and sit on my bed and I remind myself of the truth with an outline following this: “Don’t. Move. Don’t google anything, don’t try to escape the thoughts. I just sit here with it and remember what you know is true. These urges (because my thoughts have progressed to urges) are not you. They are your OCD messing with you and your brain is just scared that it is you. The feelings have done away before, they’ll go away again. Just sit here and remember what you know is true, the feelings will pass.” Then I do my best to carry on with my day and then next thing I know it’s been half a day, or a day and the feelings are gone, until they return but I still count it as a win.

Whoa this video brought me to tears because that’s exactly how I feel when I start obsessing about a certain them. Feels good to know that I am not alone and knowing that this too shall pass.

"When you're trying to solve a non-threat there will never be a solution." Dang - that shifted my thinking a bit.

This phase is the worst, because even when I'm on top of my compulsions and Ruminations it remains. Impossible to relax when "impending doom" feeling is present. Can last many months in my experience. I don't know what the answer is, just keep on with treatment, try not to isolate and ride it out

This is the worst feeling ever! It just makes me stop living. I literally give up on my life. It is so painful. I feel like i can never go back. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for talking about this feeling!!!!!!!!!

I've probably had the "haze" going for a year or more at a time. And it started in 1993! This description is accurate beyond words.

You are so so talented at verbalizing what things actually feel like!!!! So accurate. It is so comforting on the backside of your own pain unfortunately.😢

It’s horrific to feel those feelings of doom and if you already have depression to start with it can bring on very scary and real sui cidal feelings, depending on your type of ocd/ faulty thinking

May 28th, tonight I have found myself needing this reminder. Thank you Chrissie!

Thanks, Chrissie. Needed this.

Logic following the fear causes OCD.

Thank you so much for this! I always relate to your videos! I wish that therapists had this understanding as well.

These videos are helping me Chrissy

This is so important to talk about. Thank you❤

love chrissie sooo much. saved my life fr

This really spoke to me Chrissie, thank you for this❤️

Lovely Chrissie Hodges.

Please talk about the impact of HOCD when it comes to virgin people that were/are so sure of their sexuality even if they were rejected their whole life by the people they felt attracted to. (I always find myself as a straight woman, even if I never had a relationship with man but I always got rejected by them, though I always masturbated having in front of me pictures of the men I like and have interest on. Now with HOCD everything is foggy when before it wasn't 😢😢😢😢)

So perfectly accurate 😢

One of the most validating and true videos I've seen in a long time, and I'm already 26 years into my struggle with OCD. Thank you Chrissie ❤️

Doom is overwhelming. Harm OCD (wanted to throw my doggy out of the window)....TOCD...HOCD...meta OCD...its not OCD at all. Constant reassurance. Ovewwhelming thoughts and sensations and feelings and images...not always can even differentiate them. Constatnt loneliness...isolation. Hope what if I die soon? Persistent depersonalization/derealization. And for the fisrt time in my life: it is forever. Also very strange and painful feeling: I am changed forever. Remember how I was before this relapse and experiencing severe nostalgy...like that normal person disappeared, and I am somebody else...reorganized forever. By OMG OCD:(((((((( Fluvoxamine prescribed. Triggered by family situation....Thanks for your unimaginably great job. You are our angel

Thank you

I have dread that is awful. I also suffer with disassociation. I literally feel like I’m in my head obsessing non stop. It’s effecting my body somatically to where I feel distortions in my body. It’s hellish. 😢
