As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.
Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

Amazing that someone who doesnt suffer from the condition can have such intimate knowledge of the subjective experience of others. Unfortunately, this is not the case with MOST specialists. He is able to go beyond his own experience, to reach through language and intuition the subject, rather than simply rearranging the proportions of his own experience. A special person, really. He makes it feel like most specialists in this field should have been accountants or something.

Dr. Phillipson: "My answer to them won't help them in any way." Me: Exactly! It's really not the experience of the thought that's the problem, it's the anxiety response. It's learning to hear the thought and tolerate the anxiety response w/o attending to it that helps. OCD isn't about the inability to reason things out, it's about this misfiring in the brain which makes the obsession seem like such an emergency. This is SO important.

This is so informative and truthful. I've been struggling since 2007 with Harm OCD, especially after having children and my father passing in December 2018, and I definitely have mental rituals (pure-O). I go months feeling well, and then fall back down for a few weeks. But all I can say is that the "ease" during my good points are nothing short of amazing and something I look forward to. And I've realized that when there's something to look forward to, I tend to do better. But it's still very, very hard. Going through a lapse right now but I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

I gained so much clarity from this video. My mom suffered from religion subset OCD, however because she was in China, she was diagnosed as delusional and put on multiple medications, which eventually led to her suicide. After that, I suffered ptsd but can never explain my intrusive thoughts of harm ocd. With more and more respect toward the creativity of my brain, I gained such strong mindfulness skills and almost did exposure therapy to myself without even knowing what it was! I heard of ERP, but because it’s associated with OCD, I never looked into because I was never diagnosed with that, or understood my mom’s symptoms. This video answered so much of my questions.

Reading "Thinking the unthinkable" was an absolute revolution for me. It's so true, and I've come to understand that there isn't any real distinction between a regular thought and an "intrusive" thought, there is just an anxiety response to any thought that is perceived as catastrophic - ie it needs to be resolved/neutralised, when in fact it's all just regular thinking. Understanding this has been huge for me, and so incredibly helpful, it stops the vicious cycle from even ingraining itself in the first place. Thanks for uploading this, guys. :)

"OCD is an anxiety disorder" in my own experience I agree 100%. Many times when I told my brain to shut up or had nothing to worry about. I could feel anxiety in my chest...over nothing. Literally nothing. It's like my body or brain or whatever tf it is would just get anxious and then find shit to worry about. It's really stupid. Alan Watts said the same thing, people who worry about different things all day are just worriers. They worry about worrying and worry becomes so natural they just find anything to worry about. Be aware of your compulsions and the underlying anxiety. If I can beat OCD so can you. I had HOCD, ROCD, Existential OCD, and other OCD'S that aren't even listed here. It's an anxious thing, it's an obsession thing (ROCD is trickier than the others tho). But yea to anybody out there struggling, you'll be fine, trust me. I had some really fucking bad OCD's where one just replaced another but I'm doing SO MUCH better now. Seperate yourself from your thoughts, and feelings. Is Buddhism it's called observing the Ego. Look into that but don't get what I call Observing-OCD. Good luck people don't give up that's the worst thing you can actually do. The hottest flames forge the strongest metals ♥️♥️.

I grew up as a Christian and still am. Im only 17 and was born into Christianity. But once I started to notice that i had contamination ocd which was back in 8th grade i started to really drift away from God. Even now as I am typing this I feel like I dont want to serve anymore because this OCD that i have is distributing everything. My parents know that i have Contamination OCD since I was diagnosed with it when I went to my pediatrician back before covid started. But what they dont know is that i dont want to serve God right now. They still think I love serving him but i don't. Even worse the therapist that i have is also coincidentally a christian too. So im lying to both my parents and my therapist whenver I talk to them. I blame ocd for drifting me away from God. Because I know that I still want to serve him but just not right now. Im going to be 18 and have to be an adult and that's where I feel like I dont have to go to church anymore and that I get to say that i want medication. My parents say i dont need medication because i just need to pray and really want to get rid of it and let God handle it. But like I said, I dont want anything to do with God right now. It just so stressful because my parents yell at me all the time for my compulsion, and now I need to grow up also and take care of myself and I cant tell them that I dont want to be a Christian right now because i am still living under there roof and have to be a Christian otherwise i feep like they will kick me out and i don't know how to take care of myself yet. I also dont want to dissapoint my therapist by saying i dont want to serve God becuase i have already told her thag I love serving God and that he can get rid of this OCD

@@johnwick7583 I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m a Christian and an OCD sufferer. Your parents seem like they really don’t understand, and that’s makes things so much harder. Please know though that the demanding, angry voices are sometimes people, often OCD, but that Jesus loves you so much. Don’t try to perform or accomplish for God, when you think of him just think of him as your shepherd. OCD lies to us about how God sees us. Through Jesus, he sees us with love and grace. The OCD twists things. So don’t through out God with the OCD. You don’t have to let go of God - just let go of your expectation that God needs more “work” from you. I know that’s so so so hard though. I struggle with that so much too. Love to you. May Christ’s peace be with you.

Superb Dr Phillipson, very, very knowledgeable re how debilitating OCD can be for suffers! The term OCD is bandied about ( even fashionable to say it seems !!!) so much by people who think they have OCD? These people do not have a clue what they are talking about!!!

reassurance is bad because it might get rid of that thought but then like 3 more bad thoughts sprout from the aftermath of the first thought and if you reassure those thoughts now there's 9 bad thoughts and so on. at least this is how I experienced it

@soph403 3 жыл бұрын

yes. reassurance also tells your brain that the thought you needed reassurance about WAS scary, and did need that reassurance. it just feeds the cycle

As a Christian it bothers me that ‘praying’ is seen as something negative in relation to OCD. Yes I understand it can be seen as a reassurance, however it is natural for Christians to pray & I’m sure there are a lot of Christians suffering from OCD.

@danielbowden5301 2 жыл бұрын

As a christian, I can see how a ritualistic way of praying could be unhelpful. I think praying is a good thing to do in regards to OCD, but OCD can manifest in a way that looks like praying, but really isn't. An obvious example would be repeating the same words over and over[but I don't think even that is always a bad thing, it depends]. In my own experience, I've often blurted out the simple prayer "God help me" in response to intrusive thoughts and sometimes it is more of a reflex/habit than a prayer since I do so maybe a few times day. I think part of this is influenced by a subtly OCD way of thinking, but I've gotten a lot of peace about my OCD by just chilling out and not worrying about my thoughts, recognizing that they are not sinful in themselves, recognizing that they don't accurately reflect my mental health or what sort of person I am. I never confess my intrusive thoughts as if they were sins, I treat them as off-putting inconveniences or surprises and nothing more. My "God help me" does not mean "God forgive me" nor "God fix me", I think it is gnerally my way of asking "Please purge this unpleasant image from my mind". I think that it is a less than ideal approach on my part, since it is possibly driven by my OCD to some degree, but it doesn't affect me very much because I am at peace with it and I know that God doesn't condemn me for my thoughts and that He doesn't hold it against me if some of my prayers are actually OCD rituals. It is also misguided if we want to never have intrusive thoughts, it is better to just make our peace with them under the understanding that they are harmless. Being a perfectionist about it and anylyzing whether it is real prayer or OCD ritual would be counterproductive. So we can fool ourselves and be counterproductive by spiritualizing our OCD mental compulsions, but I believe that prayer is generally a good idea despite the potential for OCD to manifest in that way. I think that christians with OCD should pray without worrying about these things, it is okay with me if some of my "God help me"s are reflexive or impulsive, it would be counterproductive to mentally "check" whether it was a compulsive prayer, we should understand that God is relaxed about these things and so we are free not to worry about them, I am sure that God is just glad when we are asking and happy to help.

Obsessions in OCD can appear in the form of urges and even impulses and they all feel very real. Sometimes the OCD sufferer may even experience thought-action fusion meaning he feels that his thoughts are his actions. It's all part of OCD
