Books about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which we will call OCD books, are incomplete most of the time when trying to explain the facts about the condition that it attempts to educate people on. Usually this is because the writers have never even had an experience with OCD themselves, and so much information that could really help you is left out. It is never a good idea to go by what someone who doesn't fully understand something says, and is important to find someone who has. I have dealt with OCD personally, and I know what works, and what a waste of your time some things can be. I have information for you that may help!
OCD books often leave out that the problem isn't a disease or a sickness. You may be surprised that it is just an irritating habit that you can be rid of! Your mind may force you to do these habits out of fear that something bad will occur should you fail to take action. The habits I speak of can really leave an impact on your day to day life. If you are living with OCD, you might notice that you often miss out on things, such as leaving to go somewhere on time, or finishing something that is important to you, and it is merely because you spend so much time trying to satisfy your mind! This is not impossible to fix.
An important thing to think about when looking for information, be it on a program or in an OCD book, is that hopping from source to source will not get you anywhere. Whatever you decide to do you should stay with that method until you have given it enough time to work. A big issue people have with tracking down multiple "cures" and information sources is that it can become confusing and stressful for them. You may get two different methods which state that the other is inefficient and unsuccessful, but how will you know for sure until you've given a single option the time and devotion that it requires?
Better decision making is made with patience, and you will be on the right track as soon as you realize and understand this. When something is wrong with how your body normally functions, what does that tell you? It means that something is not right. Well, I can tell you that it is the same with your mind, as your mind is also a part of your body. OCD books often leave out that any habit, ritual or action taken to satisfy your thoughts is based on what your mind perceives as important, and that this is because we dwell upon unpleasant thoughts we wish to get rid of.
Your habits are not the result of a disorder or illness. Find someone who has been through what you are experiencing in order to get the most helpful information. Most OCD books cannot give you the big picture, because the authors who wrote them haven't even dealt with OCD themselves. Find a program that provides the right information, and that you feel confident in! Don't stress out, because although your mind is telling you something is not right, it is fixable! Please make use of the information I have for you below, because I think it will be very helpful!
