Inappropriate Thoughts and OCD During Anxiety Disorder

[sexyhunnie19]

Anxiety disorders seem to run in my family. I lost my brother. He commited suicide. He had bad anxiety, stress, agoraphobia, depression. He was fed up. If you're born with any kind of anxiety disorder including social anxiety, OCD, GAD, is this Linden Method still the cure?

[Muskateering]

I almost cried with relief from this video. I was diagnosed with OCD 6 years ago and had horrible violent thoughts and was terrified of knives and sharp objects. It comes and goes and its come back again. I keep having to say things to myself like 'ugh, forget about it, thats horrible, thats disgusting.' I no longer feel as much anxiety because its now somewhat under control. By telling myself there and then 'just forget about it', it does kinda help. I also keep worrying about other disorders.

[ErykahMoniqueDotCom]

WOW i have been trying to explain this to my mother forever! i keot asking if she has weird thoughts like this! finally someone understands and can explain it thanks so much!

[clarkemetalstrust]

after watching only the advertisment for his programme I felt better,the next day i was asking myself if my life was really in danger and wether I needed to be tence and anxious.Its funny to hear charles mention the symptoms i was told were seperate disorders as a docter would diagnose you with anxiety,ocd,depression,shyness etc and then explain that they are unusually found together in patients lol umm perhaps they are just part of the anxiety responce!.I ordered my course yesterday,yeehaaa!

[MrOurkid]

You make a great deal of sense. This is supposed to be the worst form of OCD your video helps - thanks

[Muskateering]

It IS the worst form of OCD. Its a very scary and disturbing disorder to have.

[chadinterrupted]

it makes it worse to write it down. it makes me realize how crazy i really am. even though i am not? best thing to do is just use apathy. and forget about it. easier said than done i know. but when you realize its anxiety that is when you should tell youself, there is no real danger. but with me, even though i know its not real. or true, and there is no danger. the feeling is still there and raises the level.

[momoville100k]

im sorry klonopin and fluvoxamine is what i take for my OCD everything he said i this video is albsolutly what i go through but the meds have stopped the thoughts and when i do get a thought its as if my mind discards it hopefuly one day i can stop the meds and control it on my on but in the mean time meds are doing the job i had my wife throw all the knifes away before i was on meds because when i would see one i would get thoughts of hurting her and a image of me doing would come as well

[chadinterrupted]

holy crap. lately i have been getting severe inappropriate thoughts. hurting other people for 1. that scares the hell out of me. like as if if i fall asleep im going to sleep kill someone. its actually kind of humorous now that i think about it. like i realize how ridiculous that is. but the scariest one, is imagining my deceased aunt from hunningtons disease in the room trying to kill me for some reason. she loved me. its so opposite. your not alone.

[momoville100k]

talk to your doctor about Fluvoxamine i take it and it seems to work it is in the same catagory of anti depressents but is not actually one it treats OCD and does work and odes not have the same side effects that other drugs like paxil zoloft i also use Klonopin its like Xanax but works longer on the body and helps with the Anxiety i have been on it for two weeks now and i feel alot better

[momoville100k]

im pretty sure his method works but my kolopin and Fluvoxamine has worked on my OCD

[Erik93022]

To everyone under me... just try to understand what made u flip in the first place... i think the traumas we go through set us up for this horrible problem...

if something we feel hurt us to much that could plce u under a state of constant stress.

[elchessboy0wnzuagain]

Hi Charles.. Is ALCOHOLISM a form of anxiety? Can that be cured? Like you said..medication or psychotherapy will not cure you..that's why i wanted to know if alcoholism can be cured by your methods.

[reptile1000]

is thinking your dead and thinking everything is something your just hallucinating is that a symptom of anixety?

[Jordanbg70]

Charles I was wondering if you program has helped people with anxiety induced by marijuana and hallucinogens. I've been told it's just anxiety. Medications don't make me feel "right". I'm rather desperate.

[Macinabit]

Charles. In the first part of this video you say about a car crash. Normaly in this situation you will NOT have a panic attack because your concious part of the brain is IN control and will deal with it probably perfectly, but when you are at home again your old friend the sub conscious will kick in and give you an attack. OCD this is normaly when our minds are looking for food and will do as you say, write all these thoughts down everday after a week you will laugh at them!

[CharlesLinden]

This kind of 'writing down' thoughts technique is used in CBT but our research and experience has shown us that this doesn't and can't work! Many of our clients come to us having tried this sort of technique and have been very disappointed. To us, the reason for failure is obvious but not to all. Charles

[Macinabit]

Hi. I meant this way as only part of the cure and not as a total cure, obviously your research is very high and I know as I have read your book about Anxiety disorders. Sometimes it helps to get what we feel on paper to refer to in another attack but only as a helper not a cure as you say. Best regards.

[monkeyjam101]

Thank you this was very helpful.

[felixandsnoopy]

Thank you so much for this video. I thought I was going mad. It is so hard having panic attacks. I recently had a massive panic attack and it scared the crap out of me. Thank you for helping me to understand these feelings.

[CrazyRach18]

your videos are AMAZING :) I used to have EXTREME OCD and depersonalization...you have explained this in the best ways possible. I used to wash my hands several times a day, and had to touch everything four times otherwise it didnt feel right...

[skateNrock94]

You know what u r talking bout very well, my anxiety lvl was so high that I even had a paranoid thought, that all the people are just pretending the world and the life, it scared the shyt out of me, I thought i was schzioprenic or something, but then I realized that deep inside I dont believe in that cuz it is senseless I would cut the thought rite when it comes to the point i am not afraid of it no more I just laugh at it, and everything all the anxiety and thoughts have gone away Im suprised

[para1987]

Wow. Thanks man. Great Video, Found it at a perfect time, Been suffering from this for about 2 months now, it seems like the toughts dont bother me as much, so I have to agree with you on the part where you say, the lever of stress = level of anxiety. Thank you and keep up the good work..

[johan28]

So basically you're saying that people with anxiety disorders are always in fight or flight.

I get nervous around people. I go through all sorts of what ifs, lol. I'm not good around them.

I got teased a lot in school, a lot. I was the class punching bag for several years. Do you think that caused my anxiety symptoms around people, or do you think that the anxiety symptoms caused me to get teased? This is a chicken or egg, which came first question.

[isamedicin]

of my life, I felt completely alone. I know it is not all in my mind on a rational level but I just cant shake the feeling and my biggest fear is never being 100% certain that the world is real. Have you ever had someone completely recover from a doubt like this?

[isamedicin]

Hello Charles, I had been experiencing derealization on and off since my cousins suicide about a year and two months ago and hadnt realized it. It however became much more pronounced in the last 4 months and about 2 months ago I had the thought of what if it is all in my head? Like I had invented the whole universe and it was like a video playing for my entertainment, like nothing was real and then I thought the only way to go back to reality was dying and I immediately had the worse panic attac

[barnsieno10]

OCD can be a nightmare come true. I had intrusive thoughts after too many drinks! I forgot what happened through alcohol and a few days later had intrusive thoughts about being attacked,injected,druged etc. My OCD made me believe these things had happened and NO one could tell me different!! The key for me to recovery was results. I needed proof these things had not happened through blood tests etc. Wish i had watched your video back then!!!

[mogwoffin]

Hi Charles.

I would just like to say that just hearing you talk about this is re assuring, I admire the truth in what you are saying and actually having the guts to say it! Im a 21 year old lad who suffers from all these kinds of problems, I consider myself to be 'normal' but when these incidents occur it is very difficult to think i am, Im glad i have discovered your videos, Thanks for uploading them. Chris

[Kristiniskool]

How are you supposed to just stop anxiety? And are you saying that simply ignoring(not argueing with the bad thought) the innapropriate thoughts will make them go away?

[garretguiney]

everything you say is true you helped me a great deal thank you very much

[Erick11230]

Hi charles i purchused your program almost 3 years. go and i feel like im doing sumthing wrong becuse my ocd is still afecting me.

[CharlesLinden]

You really need to talk to the support staff. There is not enogh space or 'feeling' through his system to advise you efficiently, much as I would love to. What you explain doesn't trouble me, it sounds consistent with expected anxiety symptoms.

[poeticfeet]

I have dealt with all of this all my life and I had no idea that it was this. I thought I was evil. As a child I always imagined sex and death in every fashion which led me to become nothing in life and lose my conscience. Gosh, how blind I have been. I'm so happy that I found you.

[CharlesLinden]

These thoughts worry so many people poeticfeet but when it becomes clear how they are caused and what to do about addressing them at their root, all is well. Take care.

[johan28]

Eh? You imagined sex and death in every imaginable way? If you were a writer or an artist or a musician or someone in the arts, you could have put that to good use!!

I was religious when I was younger, so random thoughts about sex or anyting inappropriate caused me to feel guilty and reach out to the lord, but these days I just kind of ignore them, unless I require their assistance.

[johnk81]

Hello Charles , inappropriate thoughts where my first indication some 5 years ago of my anxiety condition from that started violent thoughts and the fear of harming others or myself , I am currently working on diversions that suit me , I believe that my diversions or lack of are hindering me , I find it hard to concentrate sometimes , I have been on the method for over a year now and I know it will work but I am just missing some key factors to divert my mind.

[VegasGull]

any advice for me that is going through some very rough times with anxiety etc. it is concerning the death of a friend & family member, and my dog of 13 yrs a faithful & loving companion has cancer & it is only a matter of time for her. I have always struggled with medical/death anxiety, and now it is overpowering me to the point of I am more anxious, not eating, and crying all the time, very depressed please help if you can. Desperate for help! Thank You for all you do~

[LzI]

what is your degree charles? are you a doctor? or what? :)

[CharlesLinden]

No, I don't have a medical qualification. My knowledge has been gathered over 25 years as a sufferer and 12 years helping 115,000 plus to recover using my programs. Thank go, I am not confined by medical or psychological practice!

[RENTluver06]

I have REALLY REALLY b adanxietyOCD thoughtsOCD thoughts o fde aTh heart aTTack,anxiety

[CharlesLinden]

I am sure it is terrible. I have been there too.

[RENTluver06]

how do I get rid of it make the thoughts stop?? I have had this for 5 years now.

[AssassinC101]

Hey charles i was curious is it common when someone has anxiety in there early years them just being anxious or shy at the most but when they hit about 20 years old or around there it kinda takes a leap up. Because thats what really happened to me. Also did you ever get the personal message i sent you it was to long to type out on a text comment.

[CharlesLinden]

Yes, it can do... but for others it might just happen or creep up on them later in life. I guess the pressures of going into full adulthood, alcohol, drugs, family situations, sexuality etc. etc. can at that age impact more heavily and cause the sufferer to experience a blast of high anxiety! The transition into full adulthood at that age can be stressful.

[ducttapekidd]

Ok, I have OCD thoughts about everything, and I did put the anxiety as far behind me as I possibly could, but then, instead of feeling anxiety, I just felt awkward all the time, and now like, I get millions more OCD thoughts than I did before, very horrible ones. But now every time I get them i just feel REALLY guilty and depressed, and on a rare occasion I get an anxiety attack, but...I still had the OCD thoughts even when I didn't have anxiety. I'm sorta lost with what to do about it.

[CharlesLinden]

OCD requires only very low level anxiety to be perpetuated. You didn't eliminate your anxiety the first time so the OCD stayed with you. Only by eliminating the core anxiety completely can you be certain to erase the OCD completely and permanently.

[ducttapekidd]

Ok, but don't we all have some level of anxiety, with OCD or not, doesn't that mean that it would never go away?

[CharlesLinden]

Yes, but appropriate levels which don't activate the flight or fight response. If we are not in 'high anxiety' mode, we don't experience it!

[frogbrewery]

I felt weird too when i had it bad where I felt just numb with anxiety and lost interest and had bad thoughts about people and everything but still I deal with it but its way less severe as it was when I first had it , it was probably one of the worst experiences in my life. I believe that toxins and what we eat also have alot to do with anxiety, depression or ocd cause of additives and chemicals in the food, water and air thats why i'm tryin to eat a better diet and exercise to help with it.

[CharlesLinden]

It's always best to try to live healthily but please don't try to search for answers in illness, sensitivity or elsewhere. Many doctors do this - try to apply blame to a thing rather than confront the truth. Anxiety is a behavioral condition and required specific, targeted treatment.

[mikelsenx]

Thank you so much, your a true angel. I bought your program, but havent started on it yet. Im think im affraid to find out it dont work or what i'll do if it does. But your videos like this means alot.

[CharlesLinden]

Remember this:

Recovery is a process that requires compliance and process.

[drtyfknmouth]

I scare myself sometimes with extremely violent thoughts I have. Then I find myself on youtube watching fights or violent crashes or even gross things that normally I can't watch because I have a pretty weak stomach. I don't even feel nauseated when I watch the videos, but I'll watch them till I get light headed like I'm gonna pass out, then I turn the videos off. After that, the feeling goes away. I've just kinda become used to it by now, but I wonder if thats really a good thing.

[frogbrewery]

drtyfkmouth, i've experience thoughts about hurting others which I would never do then I realize it wasn't my fault at all, had thoughts that weren't my own u know? you have nothing to worry about because those thoughts mean nothing.

[CharlesLinden]

Again, adrenalin is a powerful hormone... it can make us feel and do things that our very out of character!

[AssassinC101]

i know i have anxiety but i seem to get extreme irretable feeling sometimes. Mostly it's when i get around people it's not constant but it happens often i can't stand it.

[CharlesLinden]

Irritability is very common in anxiety conditions. It's a very frustrating disorder and also, excess adrenalin can cause feelings of aggression.

[frogbrewery]

i suffer from religion ocd where i get intrusive thoughts, that I don't want or intend so its been hard dealing with.

[donofnet]

same here mate.....how u deal with it?

[frogbrewery]

I just tell myself its not my fault and that I'm not responsable for the thoughts and it helps, they're not as severe as they used to be but sometimes it can get bad if i get anxious or upset.

[CharlesLinden]

Wow this has become SO common! We even have vicars and priests on the Method for this!!

[frogbrewery]

Yeah I know Charles isn't that something? I used to have it severe before but its not as bad now, somedays it acts up but I tell myself not to let the thoughts bug me. I just wish I had it where my mind is calm and be normal.

[RoomOfMusic]

i kno this may sound stange but i have thoughts about like the possity of someone puting drugs in my food? like if i get some food i fear that someone druged me with like lsd or something

[piplupisapenguin]

Paranoia.

[CharlesLinden]

Typical anxious 'what if' thought! I had the same when I was at school! Charles
