"If I hold my breath for one minute, Trump will win the 2020 presidential election!" Cognitive distortions such as magical thinking are common in OCD. In OCD, our intrusive thoughts give us a "do this so that something terrible doesn't happen" magical thinking process. Magical thinking CAN be positive, however with OCD, magical thinking sends us to the negative end of the spectrum. Imagine if you could swap your intrusive thoughts that are threatening a negative outcome with a positive outcome instead. When I personally do this, I notice the irrelevance of my intrusive thoughts to the situation they demand me to do conpulsions to prevent. (phew! that was a mouthful!).

OCD: The Bug in My Brain Please be aware that I am not a therapist and the views in my videos are based on my sole experiences. I am not responsible for the life choices that you make as a result of my videos. These videos are here to explain OCD the way I see it with the experiences I've had. This is a channel to help other OCD sufferers learn that there is a light in the darkness they feel and that it is possible to get better, just not cured. As I make more videos, you will see that I improved throughout the years and this will hopefully give others suffering with OCD hope for improvement. This channel will cover the struggles I've experienced over the past 30 years. I am not a therapist but I can relate to almost every form of OCD. Videos will cover phobias, anxiety, obsessions, intrusive thinking, cognitive distortions, ocpd, obsessive compulsive personality disorder, and overthinking to name a few. I hope that you will find a connection with my videos and in some small way they help you get through the day. Help yourself recover. #ocd #magicalthinking #overcome
