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!

Obama wins! The nations OCD has finally settled!
Obama wins! The nations OCD has finally settled!
Obama has helped the nation to finally got over its OCD of having an african american president! I personally feel that this is a good decision. We're now gonna have to play the waiting game to see how things turn out.
It's been a history breaking election and one way or another I think that the united states has broken some age old barriers. Obama really has shown a kind of leadership that has not been seen in a while and the way that he has carried himself throughout the campaign is what got him the win!
He had no experience to speak of, His own pick for vice president said that other countries will be a threat to us if Obama is elected because they would want to test his inexperience. I say, bring it! The nation has spoken! Obama has won!
=>Obama FINALLY helped the nation get over their OCD, now get over yours.
Dirty tricks of Obsessive compulsive behavior and OCD
Dirty tricks of Obsessive compulsive behavior and OCD
The dirty little tricks of OCD are as follows. We suffer from obsessive compulsive behavior in various ways. The most common example of OCD is washing your hands too many times. Why do we do this?
Why do we who suffer in this way? It's all based on the beliefs that we have formed according to facts and conjecture we have heard from various sources. There could be other causes. What we need to realize is that all these are is just faulty associations.
So what happens once we get to the point where we can get ourselves to stop washing our hands excessively? Well our obsessive compulsive behavior morphs of course! We go from washing our hands to not touching things at all, to wearing gloves, etc.
What is it then that we can do to solve this mystery of OCD? It's dirty little tricks that seem to not want to let us become free from it's grasp. We need to understand what kind of behavior we must practice in order to curb this tendency of OCD.
We only need to simply watch others who do not have obsessive compulsive disorder to understand how to act with non OCD behavior. We need not to give into our cravings to perform a ritual for temporary relief in exchange for long term suffering.
It's not wise to think that we can indulge in OCD today and choose to quit tomorrow easily. Every time we perform a ritual, it's gets stronger in our minds. It's not the ritual however, it's what's behind the ritual, the fear that drives the ritual, which makes us feel compelled to perform it.
We simply need to break the cycle all together. We need to face the underlying fear that is driving this behavior and we will find that all rituals that we used to do to support this fear are no longer necessary. Our brains then, will no longer morph our rituals into new ones.
Stopping performing one ritual only means you are treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If we will have the audacity to face our fears, we will find that not only will we rid ourselves of OCD, but we will also have acquired a skill that will serve us for the rest of our lives.
We will be able to handle fear in such a way that others will simply not know how to do. So this is the benefit of having had OCD in the first place. Once we conquer it, we acquire skills and a tough skin to fears, it's quite amazing actually.
Take action: Today, spend your day thinking about what fear or fears there are in your mind that are driving your obsessive behavior. Think about what your life would be like without those fears.
Then do something about it. Face those fears one at a time. Schedule time during your week to face those fears. Bring a buddy with you if you like. But lack of action will only allow your OCD to become worse.
On the other hand, massive action toward your goal will ensure your success. You can do it! If no one today has told you that they believe in you, let me be the first to say so! I believe in you and I know that with persistence, you can do it and the dirty little tricks of OCD won't be able to touch you!

How to get rid of OCD for life
There are so many different techniques and ways in which you can get rid of OCD. I will start off by saying that all of the successful methods require some legwork that needs to be done.
This is just mandatory. What you need to realize is that so many people are looking for some kind of shortcut, hoping that they won't have to do any kind of work. It just doesn't work that way and these people will always have OCD because they are just lazy. We really need to understand that OCD is not a game.
It's not something to be lazy about when you are looking for a cure. Think about it, if there was such a cure, OCD would not be as prevalent as it is today! So now that we snap back to reality, we realize that the only way to become OCD free for life is to learn a new skill set to off set what you have previously learned. In other words, you must unlearn OCD behavior and learn or re-learn non-OCD behavior.
That is what it all really boils down to. I remember two years ago when I was suffering pretty badly with OCD, I would repeat mantras in my head such as "hate bad, love God." and other things like this. It was really tough because I would give into the urge of doing it all the time and it was really depressing. Sometimes I wish that I could just go back and knowing what I know now, just not do those things and not cause all the pain that I was feeling from performing useless and tiring rituals.
I'm seriously sad sometimes when I think about these things. Surely there is someone that can understand the pain that I was going through. Surely there was someone somewhere in this huge earth that could help me get rid of my OCD. So what I did was research and I sought out people who have gotten rid of their OCD. It was tough and my life was in shambles.
I guess this goes to show that it's not easy for anybody. So I kept on with my pursuit for a cure and then I found out more information over years of research I found out the cure. It was so simple to understand but really tough to implement. I bought programs that promised the world to me without any effort on my part.
I knew that if it sounded to good to be true, it probably is. Any rapid detox program including those that deal with OCD take work and suffering, but after the work and suffering comes great joy because of the resulting freedom. The real secret to getting rid of OCD is to be willing to put the legwork in.
You've got to realize that there is no magic bullet, there is, however, a formula that you can use and follow every day that will help you to get rid of your OCD for good. Follow that formula and you will become and stay OCD free.
here's the formula

Obsessive Compulsive behavior - Truly! The Laziest Way To Get Rid of it!
Obsessive compulsive behavior seems very hard to understand at first. Let alone beat. You need to realize that most people make things that they don't fully understand much more complicated than they really are.
Forget all the complexities and all of the fears and emotions that swirl around your dizzy head and fearful face. Think about all that is good within and around you. Taking on a grateful attitude removes and lifts this dark cloud that once did cover you.
Your emotions are all just habits. We can change what we wish, we desire what we want and a man who sets his mind on the desires of his heart relentlessly will gain these things.
What then should you do this day so that you may be free from obsessive compulsive behavior? You should first observe that there are those in the world who do not suffer with obsessive compulsive thoughts. Is there something wrong with you? Do you have mental issues? No. You have a habit.
I myself have quit smoking and drinking, drugs and OCD. I have also had great leaps and bounds regarding the facing of anxiety and these are my victories. I know they are real, not because I read about them in some book, but rather real world experience.
I don't know about you, but I would rather learn from someone who knows what it's like, who's felt what it's like and has beaten it. I have freed myself from this disgraceful, distasteful malady and I'm finally free.
So after you have observed that it's possible to have freedom of the mind, what then? Decide for yourself that you too can and will have mental freedom, that you too will taste this delicious freedom! Decide in your heart, make it a goal and chase it relentlessly.
What then, do we do to keep motivated. Every time you slack on trying to not perform rituals, think about how bad your OCD was, think about how bad it is and say to yourself, "I am getting over it right now!" "No more OCD!"
The third thing that I would consider is to practice what you preach. Be a man/woman of your word. Do what you know in your mind to be right. Do some self soul searching and think about the things that you know you should change. Ask yourself what it is that is holding you back. What are your constraints to becoming OCD free?
Tackle those constraints head-on. They could be fear, they could be lack of faith that it's possible. These all need to be cleared up one by one. Do it step by step and not all at once and you will see great results.
Take action: Observe that others have gotten out of a deep suffering with OCD, believe that you can to, resolve to make the change, create bite sized goals, and relentlessly and religiously complete your goals. If you do these things, it's virtually impossible for you to fail, period! You can do it and I know this because I was in horrible shape and I did it! So I know you can!
