Has anyone checked out Nathan Peterson on YouTube ?? I been watching him and he really helps a lot!!
Yes, I always recommend him!
@Nica He definitely explains things so well and kinda eases my anxiety š¬
His videos are very good!
@ABCā43 Heās amazing
@Anonymous He was one of the first channels I found after realising I might have OCD. Turns out my suspicions were right.
@ABCā43 How are you now ? Doing better ? It seems to come and go for me personally
@Anonymous I have good and bad days, so Iād call it stable for the most part.
Yes, he's the reason I sought an OCD diagnosis and was able to manage the symptoms until then on my own! :)
@nae nae He really teaches you to sit in your anxiety and it actually does work !!
@Anonymous Yeah, it works better than you would expect, and he's so soft-spoken. It really eases my nerves and helps me feel less anxious over my thoughts. His videos helped me feel sane lol
@nae nae He definitely keeps it fun and thatās needed when Iām having those ocd attacks, do you ever find points of peace in your life ??
@Anonymous Recently, I do! There's still moments where I find myself struggling, but it's still early on in my journey to recovery. What about you?
@nae nae I go through weeks where I feel amazing and then all of a sudden something happens and I instantly worryš¤
@Anonymous I can relate to that a lotš®āšØ I'm very thankful for those moments of peace, though. They remind me things can and will get better! I'm glad you're able to experience some as well!
@nae nae Absolutely lol Iām 35 years old. I feel like Iāve had this shit for a very long time⦠I just thought thatās how my brain was wired. I didnāt think anything of it.
@Anonymous Me too! I mean, I'm younger, but I'm realizing I had it most of my life. Didn't think anything of it for the same reasons lol. I've always known what OCD was and that it wasn't just like the stereotypical OCD you see in shows or movies, but I'd have never imagined it was something I had. Do you ever wish you'd have found out it was OCD earlier?
Honestly, I donāt know lol Iāve always gotten through life pretty good for the most part. I always thought I was just a very high routine kind of guy. I didnāt even know what OCD was throughout most of my life⦠Which is wild⦠I know Iāve always been ADHD so I assume thatās why my brain was the way it was.āŗļø
That makes sense! :)
@nae nae Iām so happy that you caught it early though :-)
@Anonymous Yeah, thanks! Me too!
@nae nae What part of the country are you ?
@Anonymous Like, which state?
@nae nae Yes
@Anonymous I'm from Texas! What about you?
@nae nae Thatās cool Iām in shitty cold ass ohio
@Anonymous I'd love for some of that weather down here lol. But, I know dealing with snow and ice can be a hassle. Actually, my older brother lives there too, in Cleveland. I visited him last spring, and the weather was perfect then. Definitely very different from Texas.
Yeah, itās currently 21° and we have like 14 inches of snow on the ground. Iām in southern Ohio really close to Kentucky.
Wow, 14 inches of snow? I can't imagine what a pain that is to deal with, especially if you have a driveway to shovel or somethingš It's 45° here and definitely no snow!
45 feels chilly for Texas though lol yes itās rough plus Iām old so thereās that š
Didn't even consider that lol. Stay warm out there! š
so I feel like Iām finally having an academic comeback after years of failing & Iām currently looking at pinterest for that motivation. there are videos that are helpful tools for college students like websites that read chapter books and summarize/create notes & it seems pretty cool. but I somehow deny using those tools bc it feels like Iām cheating. my mind is like, āno, you will study the TRADITIONAL way (which idek what it rlly is)ā I donāt know why my brain is doing this to me. I feel like these apps could be beneficial to my learning. whatās ironic is that I literally googled all my assignment answers for one class at the last minute to get some grades in. this is a retake class but because I was so behind on everything, I just looked up the answers. so that really does count as cheating. like bruh š I did it to save myself from a bad class grade. Iām definitely going to study the rest of this semester. I have officially began taking notes and actually doing schoolwork. someone help me!!! these videos look like great resources but my mind is telling me otherwise. another thing is that Iām still lost on what to major in. I keep changing career choices and my headās gonna explode. there are so many things I wanna say but I donāt want the post to be long. I just want to get good grades and understand the material!!! someone help me >n<
Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally donāt know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks
Hello i got this app hoping to maybe find some support for my partner i thought about reddit but reddit has become a hateful place and i figured this is a safe place. i love my partner more than anything and heās been struggling with OCD his whole life he has a hard time talking about it with anyone because itās too painful heās stated that itās gotten worse as heās gotten older His biggest issue right now is overwhelming thoughts of his actions having tragic outcomes and being unable to stop these obsessive thoughts (such as needing to check out door handle 5 times to make sure itās locked but still panicking that itās unlocked) heās not open to one on one therapy or meds although he loves learning and watching informative videos i fear heās afraid to confront his OCD or just afraid nothing will help i really wanna help him live a stress free and happy life he deserves it would anyone possibly have any ways to naturally help with OCD or recommend any great individuals that could share techniques on managing OCD or helping your partner with OCD? i would very much appreciate it!
