  1. Dear Katie,
    I looked in the amazon there are too many books by various author with the same title " overcoming OCD". Is there a particular book / author you were mentioning?
    Plze recommend.
    Thanks
    Jay.

  2. Oh my God.I've been having OCD problems for 2 years and didn't know what to do about it. I cried. I thank you soooo much for making this video! I can't thank you enough…because this video really made a difference. My life is not as miserable. Keep this up!

  3. I have an OCD. I have thoughts that I will kill someone. But I realize that it is a stupid thing. Next day I have thoughts about commiting a suicide. But I just dont want to commit a suicide, I realize its not good. Help. I cant get these things out of my head 🙁

  4. It's almost as if everytime you do something you would concider to be a negative action that you can't forgive yourself so it concerns you with worry that you'll recreate that moment over and over again, where as if you try not to care you could over come the thought barrier

  5. Dear Katie, first of all thankyou so much for those wonderful videos. Secondly where can I get those " overcoming OCD" videos?. Also please give us some more resources if you can.
    Looking forward for more videos on ERP, infact if you can make us a step by step ERP with more examples it would be great. I totally understand the ERP principle, when I watched your videos and I thought it should not be that though. But actually when I applied it in my practical situation I couldn't do it more than some time as the urge was extremely forceful. Please if you can guide us step by step on how to beat this monster I would really appreciate that. There are not many people ( without OCD) who understand the pain of OCD sufferers and their mental agony . Thankyou so much for understanding our problem and it's intensity. Thankyou for your time and effort in providing us the best resource. Looking forward for more videos and the site to find " overcoming OCD" video.

  6. Hello, Katie! I want to ask you this thing. I do ocd rituals in my head like counting something and repeating some words over and over again. It's a thought too so should I ignore it and let it be there, resist the urge to do that or should I do something else? I'm a little bit confused about that. 

  7. I like to think of it as if you're exploring city and the thoughts are the buildings. When you find yourself in a building that you don't like there's no need to tear down the building, simply walk away from it. 

  8. Hi Katie, I am really suffering from serious OCD. My ritual consists of tensing my whole face and neck muscles and vital parts (heart,eyes) of my body whenever I feel fearful as I feel it grants me protection from my worst fears from happening. I have been through session of CBT without avail. I have been conditioned to realize that tensing up always works all the time and things won't screw up if I do this ritual. I know its irrational but I cannot stop it. However I am just so unfortunate. One day when I tried to stop this ritual by relaxing. I managed to relax and everything went fine however 30 minutes later I saw a bedbug on my bed (one of my primary fears in life) and I freaked out and went into a panic attack. I called the pest control and they cleared those pests out and it was not a serious infestation. But the main point is : My worst fears usually don't come true when I tense up my muscles but OMG it actually did when I relaxed. However, months later I managed to get over it and tried relaxing again and not tensing up my facial, neck muscles. Just 20 minutes after that bad things or coincidences started to happen again. I drew my curtain and its snapped and fell . 10 minutes after when I left my house to throw the garbage, there was a hole in the bag and rotten meat started falling out all over the floor. It was so scary I started crying and freaking out as it my hypothesis is really true that I have to tense my muscles my entire life or bad stuff like this will happen all the time. I really do not know what to do and I am contemplating stopping school and later work and just sleeping in my bed as I cant relax anymore. The weird thing is that I am still able to sleep with no problem but when I get back up in the morning at 8am before work all these fflashbacks of the previous coincidences keep flushing in my mind that I cannot relax anymore as this coincidences might happen again.

  11. Hi Katie, I have a big problem, I am only 13 year's old, and I have mega OCD. If I go down the stair's my mind forces me to go up and down the stairs again, for 5 times. My family is annoyed, and so am I! I really don't want my friend's to find out, but even at school I'm having a hard time with blocking my OCD. You are correct; I have tried to block it away, but my OCD just becomes worse. It's becoming better though, but should I go to a doctor, or a therapist? It's being really bad.

  12. I am so glad to find this video. I have been trying to fight my thoughts and they ARE getting more severe. This affects my depression and I don't want that to happen. I want to be well.

  13. Hi Katie
    I am new to OCD.
    and My Problem is i cant control my Thoughts 
    and its too difficult for me too face it all the time 
    When i consulted Psychiatrist, I  said everything about what i have been going thorugh,and he said i am having  "God Fear n Few", Does these all comes under OCD ?
    I am facing many problems due to this,I dnt knw when will i get rid of this 
    an how to face,
    Would you Help me by few suggestions ? 

  14. OCD sucks for me. if i imagine myself running, a thought will pop into my head of a wall appearing out of no where and blocking me. and if i try and imagine the wall not being there, it always comes back and takes over my brain and its impossible to imagine running again because the thought will always come back and enslave my brain. 

  15. Hi Katie .. First thanks for posting the videos , I have been suffering from OCD from last 2-3 years but in last one year i have been facing severe OCD problem at my workplace. I keep checking my work again and again and can't satisfy myself that i am doing correct work. Example – I keep on checking the numbers and words again and again , if i read a number 10 i just keep on checking it again and again that i am reading it right (In short i am really afraid that i will lose my job if i will do something wrong that's why i keep on checking it again and again). In this way i am taking really long time to complete my work. Please suggest something , i have even tried medicines for this for around 10 months but to no effect.Should i try CBT also please suggest.And as you suggested that whenever a thought comes don't focus on it keep it in the mind and do something else , just want to ask will this work for me as my thought are related to my work and i can't proceed further if i will do something else. Please help, Waiting for your early reply and thanks in advance

  16. Hi Katie, thanks for this video. It really makes sense to me that thoughts are just meaningless mental images that we don't need to pay attention to.This has been really useful. 

    Mostly, I can now prevent myself from reacting to disturbing thoughts by using breathing exercises, and let the anxiety dissolve. Although, I still have a few thoughts that I find so imposing that I can't stop myself from repeating a positive mantra – which I know is completely irrational. If  try to ignore these particular thoughts I have a lingering, uncomfortable, kind of 'itchy' feeling which only goes away once I perform the ritual to 'nutralise' it.

    Do you have any tips for this? Or do I just have to ride-out the anxiety? I think that could get a bit stressful and I'd kind of like to stay in a positive emotional state if I can.

    Thanks again for all the videos!!

  17. Hi Katie Mam, I'm srikant, 25, from India. I've been taking Sertraline for 7 months. I think I've a 50% control over my thoughts right now, but occasionally few intrusive thoughts reoccur in my mind & it takes hours to overcome it, although I overcome after few hours. But it generates severe headache, tremors, loss of consciousness or focus over my work. It hampers my study up to a great extent. So, plz give me some ideas so that I can have at least more percentage of control over my mind as I know OCD can't be cured & it's a life-long disorder. I don't have general ocd symptoms like : handwash, cleaning, counting etc… But one thing is uttering mantras for several times, I feel awkward if I don't do this. 

    I've also consulted with Doctors & they suggested me to go for CBT, although I've not gone to them. Thanks.

  18. Thank you for reminding me of this therapy.. The train metaphors were the first therapy I had back in the days I first realized & diagnosed. It really work back then but as far as time goes I forget about it sometimes and all I want to do is back to the habit of pursuing the thoughts.

  19. Wow Katie, I am astonished to find out about you. I speak for myself and I do suffer quite a lot from my repetitive thoughts and patterns of thought, and it is so nice to see someone like you that works on helping people to stop suffering as we do. Thank you very much for being such a kind person. You already know this but it does mean the world to us to get better on our pain, and you contributing to such thing is quite honorable. I feel so much gratitude right now. Thanks again

  20. Katie, i understand what your saying about just let the thoughts be, and don't fight them. but what do i do then? what is a step by step thought process that i could follow? For instance, i dont fight the thought to check something again, so i let the thought sit in my mind, and then do i let it leave by just doing something else that takes my mind off of it? How do i stop myself from jumping on the train?

  21. Please Tell me if I am doing the right thing to counter my OCD

    1.When I have an OCD attack, i.e. when an intrusive thought pops into my mind, I instantly become mindful of it and try to rationalize it as much as possible. I challenge the irrational thought by writing it down in a diary and then writing down a rational response by challenging that thought in a column next to it This greatly weakens the intrusive thought.

    2.I find that being mindful of my thoughts and feelings helps a lot. That way I'm able to discern the root of an obsessive thought. i.e. how & why that intrusive thought came to be at that particular moment in my mind. I find that being aware of my thoughts, especially the intrusive ones, helps me to a great degree.This helps me retrace my steps to the root of an obsessive thought.

    3.I do a 15 minute 'mindfulness of breath' meditation 15 minutes every morning and feel extremely relaxed. It is really helping.

    I've been doing these things for around 3 months now and the results have been great. Although there are times when things have been going great for so long and then one day out of the blue I will get stuck on a Obsessive thought and worry about it all day long.

    It takes me around a day or more to get back to my normal routine of the three steps I mentioned above. Its just that the intrusive thought feels so powerful in that moment that I feel helpless. but then eventually I become aware of it and tackle it fully.

    This happens atleast once a month. Can you give me some suggestions as to how I should tackle these momentary relapses? It would be really helpful 🙂

  22. So distracting yourself from the thoughts is'nt helpful as it makes them worse? Same as ignoring them?
    Also with stopping the thoughts – i have a habit from my panic attacks is saying stop to myself in my head – this is a bad idea with OCD?

  23. This is interesting and very useful. I have anxiety issues and I find it difficult to control my thoughts. I am addicted to too many things. I have had it for long but it never affected my life. But now I am in a situation where I am taking help. 
    I am sharing few things which I found useful and might be of use for others with any kind of anxiety issues..
    1) It is important to know the basics but do not worry too much about the big label for your mental health conditions. It can only add to your worries. Leave it to the experts. I have seen many many people (Including me in earlier days) doing whole lot of research to only end up thinking they have 10 different disorders. Stay away from too many unnecessary information especially from others as each one's condition is different. 
    2) Seek help from a professional. You might think you know everything and try to solve it yourself. But it makes a huge difference when you listen and follow the expert advice.
    3) 

  24. This is interesting and very useful. I have anxiety issues and I find it difficult to control my thoughts. I am addicted to too many things. I have had it for long but it never affected my life. But now I am in a situation where I am taking help.

I have seen many many people (Including me in earlier days) doing whole lot of research to only end up thinking they have 10 different disorders. Stay away from too many unnecessary information especially from others as each one's condition is different. Only go into the length of information not into the depth.
    2) Seek help from a professional. You might think you know everything and try to solve it yourself. But it makes a huge difference when you listen and follow the expert advice. Best thing to stop any kind of anxiety or addiction is to surrender yourself to someone you can trust on and have the faith in the process you are asked to follow no matter what it is. Do not use your brain when things are not right. I am still shocked to accept that the things I did over many years, which I thought was absolutely right to my own self, is actually wrong. So be open and be positive to what you hear and follow.
    3) What she mentioned is so true about the thoughts. We can never stop the thoughts but we just have to accept it as a part of us which is going to come and go. It is so true even in case of people who suffer from tinnitus/ ringing in their head. More you try to think and try to stop it only grows. Best is to ignore. It is also true that it takes lot of practice as we have let those thoughts rule us. We need to ignore those thoughts and just execute differently. Over time, those thoughts would fade away.
    4) I am suffering from extreme anxiety and depression at this time.I should not be giving advice to anyone. But I see a silver lining. I always look into the future and the positive side of things. That always help. Believe you can beat this.
    5) Do not expect anyone to understand your problem or show sympathy for you suffering from this. You will be disappointed if you expect from others. Expect the least from others, you will get more. People are helpful and you will get the help when you least expect it. 
    6) Tell your family and friends about it when you are ready. Even if they do not understand well, you will need their help and they only wish you well. Sooner you tell the better. It will ease you off a lot more. Atleast you do not have anything to hide on top. 

    This is just my opinion. Each one is different. Get an expert to help you. All the best:)

  25. Thanks for this video. I have a question, dealing with some fairly intense anxiety issues for some time now, I'm confused when it comes to the best way of handling intrusive thoughts and physical symptoms. I obviously understand your advice is to ignore, however if that's not a super easy option, particularly at first, what's the best way to help these thoughts pass by? Is it best to voice your concerns/thoughts aloud to an individual you're with (assuming you're not alone) or rather keep these thoughts internalized and simply try to broom them under a rug until you forget about them? I typically have tried the second option (attempting to ignore) typically with no prevail. However, on the same token, if I voice my anxiety aloud "I'm feeling a little anxious, can we please step outside," it's as if I'm giving into the anxiety and in some way, because i'm voicing it aloud, i'm reconfirming the anxiety is indeed there, thus an issue, thus a snowball effect of mental and physical emotions/symptoms flood my whole being.  Any words of wisdom on aiding the process of ignoring? 

  26. This was really helpful. I've been experiencing pure OCD about two months now. I thought i just had really bad anxiety. I've had depression on and off since I was 21-22(26 now) and my anxiety was at its highest last year with facial numbness/tingling and racing thoughts. So I googled intrusive irrational thoughts yesterday and found out that pure ocd is exactly what I'm going through. I'm happy I have an answer and don't feel like I'm some sort of sick/evil person. Any books you recommend? I stopped seeing my therapist months ago for my depression because I felt better. Your videos are very helpful! Thank you so much! Don't stop making them!!!

  27. You great!! I have been suffering with obsessive thoughts for as long as I can remember, I've got a bunch if "problems" that i revisit and worry about and when I'm worrying about one thought the one previous to that is almost laughable but in the moment seams like an actual problem. I just came to the conclusion that they are not actually problems and it's only a problem when you think about it, now when a thought cones in to my mind I just like you said ignore

  28. It's so frustrating that my head is congested with so many annoying thoughts that I can't ignore, and also that no one I know has any idea I'm having them. Thanks for the videos and hopefully one day I can look back and think of how silly this was.

  29. hi katie i had this problem like couple yrs ago but i was able to get rid of it but now it seems that the thoughts are coming in more frequent and yes i have tried to block them and push them im scared of them they are images of me hurting my family animals i love animals i never wana hurt them but its just images please help im scared.

  30. I read something like relabel: acknowledge the fact that this is not me, its my ocd. Reattribute: this because of a biochemical imbalance in my brain and lastly refocus: your attention to something else. What can u say about this?

  31. Since seeing this video the other day I have kept what you have been saying in this video and other videos of yours and though it is hard what you do with the thoughts afterwards keep things lingering on. I guess we just have to accept what comes into our heads no matter how annoying it is

  32. Very interesting, I have been analyzing my thoughts and anything and everything to the point where I am now suicidal. I have done the whole listening to my pure o and letting it control me by giving into it, because I haven't let the thoughts just sit there and I have paid SO much attention to it and convinced myself how evil I am it has just escalated more and more to the point of where I am now which is very difficult just to function for 1 minute. It's very hard to just ignore thoughts that make me feel totally scared and in hell but I have tried recently and will continue now that I have seen this video. I am on medication and it does help the thoughts and words be more quieter but it does NOT get rid of things.
