Compulsive Disorder - Does It Mean That I'm Gay Or Bisexual Because I Have These Thoughts?
Compulsive Disorder - I Have Gay Thoughts, Am I Gay Or Is It Just Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
You just don't know how many times I get this question. People that think aboutt these things are very worried about them.. Many people would have a thought like this and think that they are bisexual or gay. You don't have to worry, people that are bisexual or gay are not worried aboutt it, they are worried aboutt what others would think at first before they come out..
My own opinion is that the Lord speaks against homosexuality in the Bible and I feel that it is not the correct way to live. I think it's very clear by looking at our physiology that we are meant and designed to be straight or heterosexual.
There are examples of homosexuality in the animal kingdom like when a male dog tries to have sex with another male dog. Is this rock solid evidence stating that it's OK for us to be bisexual or gay? Not by any stretch of the imagination. There are several points of debate that people will always raise..
When people want to do something, they will use whatever argument they can to justify their desired actions in their mind and will try to convince others so they won't feel alone in their decision. As a race, we are very smart aboutt creating circumstances that help our points of view just like people who want marijuana to be legalized all across the globe, they have their evidences and points of view.
If you are fearing that you are gay or bisexual and have OCD you are probably not gay or bisexual at all. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder will often make you dwell and ruminate aboutt that which you do not want to think aboutt at all.
There are those of you that may feel that because you are thinking about hurting someone that you'd actually do it and that is not the case at all. People that are murderers do not fear that they are murderers, they just are. People that smoke do not fear that they are smokers, they just are and the same goes with homosexuality even thought all three of these examples are not even close to each other in comparison, you understand my point.
There is a lot of anxiety that is created in a person when they fear that they are going to do something that they don't want to do. The chances of you doing what you actually fear doing are slim and you don't have to worry aboutt it really. Just like a person that fears that they are going to hit someone with their car, they are the last person on earth that would ever hit a person with their car on purpose.

Compulsive Disorder - Something Very Strange About OCD
Compulsive Disorder - Something Very Strange About OCD
If you suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and you think that you're going crazy, don't fret yet. There is something very strange about OCD that makes you feel like you are going insane.
Have you ever noticed that your OCD morphs? Many of my clients tell me that the things that they used to fear are not a concern to them anymore and they don't have to do the same rituals anymore.
I have so many clients asking me why their Obsessive Compulsive Disorder morphs and changes on them?" This leads many people to believe that they have a special kind of OCD and that no one else suffers from what you do.
You are not that special. What I mean by that is that you are no better than other people who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We are all equal in God's eyes. It's a great fact to know that you are not the only one who had to go through what you are going through now.
When you find a proven program that works for you, and there are many out there, you can and will get over your OCD for good! Really think about that, living a life without Compulsive Disorder!
I can think of all the times that I was miserable with OCD and I would spend long nights ruminating about really disturbing scenarios. I would wake my dad up at five in the morning crying because of my OCD.
I remember that I could not throw trash away in public trashcans without cleaning it first. Really odd and bizarre things that just made me feel like I was a lunatic!
Even if you really can't imagine there being an end to this thing we call OCD, believe it, because it's there it exists. That there is a way for you to get back on track and get your life back.
I remember thinking that I would always suffer with OCD for the rest of my life. I almost fell for it. I decided that what I really needed to do was the beat it. There really is no other choice as far as I'm concerned. That is no way to live by just allowing OCD to take over your life?
I believe that it is God's will for us to have a mind at peace. I believe that it is God's will for our souls to be at rest and for us not to worry. Many times you will see in the Bible where is commands us not to worry!" What are you going to do? Are you going to continue suffering or are you going to take action and beat your OCD?

Compulsive Disorder - How and Why Your Brain Forms Rituals
Compulsive Disorder - How and Why Your Brain Forms Rituals
Is there a way that we can help put a stop to the annoyingly strong desire to perform rituals?
You first have to realize where rituals come from and why they exist. The rituals that we conjure up are a response to a certain stimuli and then a subsequent belief and thought about that stimuli.
So we basically form rituals that help us cope with what is going on around us. If you look at a child who was just denied her request to have an ice cream, you can see that she responds in a manner that makes it obvious to you that she is not happy.
So we can see that how she reacted to this stimuli shows us that that this action of hers is just a response to the stimuli. Then if the mother were to hand her an ice cream cone, most likely her demeanor would be much more happy almost instantly.
This happens because the little girl tells herself that she cannot be happy until she gets what she wants, or in this case, an ice cream cone. We can see that she could have chosen to be content and happy during the whole event. It was in fact a choice.
You have a lot of power over Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when you learn of the fact that you can choose how you react to stimuli and in fact, choose how you feel.
The girl did have a choice to not have a tantrum when she did not get what she wanted? Was this possible? She could have responded any way she wanted to, but in this case, she threw a fit. When she was growing up, she learned that when she had a tantrum, she found that she usually got what she wanted.
Having developed this association in her head, she forms what appears to be a "natural reaction" to the stimulus of not getting her ice cream. In reality, this set of actions and behavior were learned. If when she was a baby, she only got what she wanted when she stopped crying, then that is how she would "naturally respond."
What If find really interesting about all this is the fact that a lot of us just want to be lazy and think, "I cannot control how I react, I just react naturally.So you can see from above that you don't really have a "natural reaction" but in fact that it was learned.
People in general do not act is the same exact way as each other, but rather, they have similarities in way that they act. People react similar to similar situations so we can see that there are trends that we can study. One of the most wonderful things about this is that once we realize how our behaviors are formed, we can use that information to create a system to cure many maladies and have most certainly with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Compulsive Disorder - What is Pure O when it comes to OCD?
Compulsive Disorder - What is Pure O when it comes to OCD?
The people who we refer to as Pure O's are people who suffer from the feeling of having to perform mental rituals, repeat mantras, etc. They will basically feel a very strong urge to count objects, syllables, words,etc.
I would say that some people who are "pure o's" can and do physical rituals as well, but they mainly suffer from obsessions.
There is only one cure for all OCD so no matter what type of OCD that you have it does not matter.
Now there are many different programs that work for many different types but the basic premise of healing is underlying in each one.
No matter what therapy you use, this is what they all attempt to do. Some work better than others but here it is.
They all help you stop performing rituals and teach you how to think like a person without OCD. Do you know what will happen to your life if you learn to teach yourself how to think like someone that doesn't have OCD? You will no longer have OCD.
I know this sounds like a dream and to good to be true and all that. The only reason I know that what I am saying works is because I got rid of my OCD by following these principles.
When you see a technique that has worked for many people, you should not think that you are a special case and that it will not or could not work for you. You don't want to cut your own success short. You've got to decide for yourself if you have enough information and a system which to follow that will help you to get over OCD. Do not allow people to lecture you out of being successful by way of saying to you that these techniques won't work, they are just being negative. OCD should be taken very seriously and only you and not anybody else can tell you what will work for you. There are many important reasons why I write down so many techniques and each one has a purpose. They simply work. They didn't just work for me, but for thousands of people. I try to provide the best possible quality into all of the information that I give to you.
Take action: Take advice from someone who has had proven results and from someone who has been able to help other people with their same methods.

Compulsive Disorder - Thoughts of Hurting Others As Well As Other Types of OCD
Compulsive Disorder - Thoughts of Hurting Others As Well As Other Types of OCD
Do you ever have thoughts of hurting other people?
Do you ever fear that one day you will end up in jail because you hurt or killed someone else because of your OCD?
Don't worry. You are not alone in this fear. Millions of people that suffer from OCD face this fear every day. These are well meaning people that know they would never do anything like this. They just suffer with thoughts about it.
The first thing you should know is that these are intrusive thoughts and that our brains sometimes think about things we don't want it to think about. It's almost like a battle in your mind.
You might be thinking, "there must be a reason why I'm thinking like this, maybe I am a serial killer or something." Nope, not true at all.
Our brains are fascinated with things that sometimes we would not like them to be fascinated about. You can clearly see from history that violence is craved by people and people want to see it, that is why it's so popular on our media, such as video games and tv and it is so popular. Our brains are attracted to various kinds of violence that is why it's so popular in our media.
Watching violence and doing it are two very different things so you don't have to fear that if you like watching it, you'd actually do it because that's not true. These are two different universes.
If you feel that you really would harm someone, you should seek counseling immediately and possibly some medication.
If you are just having intrusive thoughts, just know that they are just that, intrusive thoughts. You can delight in the fact that you won't ever harm a person and that is why you don't have to worry anymore. Look at the fact that you are so worried about it as a testament to the fact that you would never actually do it.
Take action: If you feel like you'd actually harm someone, get counseling immediately and possibly medication.
If you can recognize that these thoughts are just intrusive thoughts, when you worry about something, that usually means that there is no way in the world that you would do what you are afraid you're going to do. So rest easy, knowing it's an intrusive thought. Just think about things that you love, maybe it could be vacations or even rainbows or money or whatever. Get yourself excited about something, when you are excited about something, it gives you less time to worry.
When you can become good at recognizing when you are having an OCD thought, then you will realize that you really don't have to worry about it. You can know when you are having an OCD thought because you'll feel like you have to do a ritual. You can truly realize that it's just an OCD thought and not you who is willing to do the thought. This is believe it or not, half the battle.

Compulsive Disorder - So What Should I Do Now That I Have OCD?
Compulsive Disorder - So What Should I Do Now That I Have OCD?
There is a first step for those who find out that they have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. One of the first things is to understand what is really going on inside your brain.
There is a problem with people who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder where they will feel it start to happen and they have this fear instead of faith. You need to realize that the only thing that separates someone who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and someone who does not is how they react to their thoughts and fears.
You've got to realize that when you feel so strongly to do compulsions, that it's just anxiety stemming from your OCD. You need to have a name for what is going on. The fear that a lot of people have is that they don't know what's wrong, they just know that something is wrong. Knowing what that something is is half the battle. If you can properly identify when you are having anxiety over doing a ritual then you will be well on your way to getting better.
One of the things that people who have beaten OCD have in common is the fact that they have changed the way that they react to their anxiety. They realize that it is just anxiety and OCD and that it can't hurt them. This is the first thing that you need to learn and implement as you start your journey to becoming OCD free. You should know that you can get rid of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder if you can properly identify what anxiety is!
What is it then that you should do right now? This is one way that you can use this knowledge? There are so many methods that you'll come across that will attempt to show you how to deal with OCD or how to stop it completely. If you don't use this knowledge, it's like you don't even know it! So now that you have the new information, you need to just do it. Here is an example: Bob just finds out that he is having a hard time with his ritual of touching the door knob obsessively. He looks at the door knob and he feels like he has to touch it because if he doesn't, he will go to hell.
He then thinks to himself, "this is an OCD thought!" I don't have to panic at this thought and I don't have to worry about it. He then thinks about how ridiculous he would sound if he told his friends his fear and realizes that maybe it is silly, so he says it out loud to himself and kinda chuckles..."I am afraid that if I don't touch the door knob seven times that i will go to hell." He sees this, man, that is crazy!
He realizes that by saying it out loud, the information is being processed by a different part of the brain which when it analyzes it tells the other part of the brain the processed it first, "this is a silly fear!" This is like using peer pressure in your own brain to help teach you that this is not something to fear, but to laugh at!
