Signs of obsessive compulsive disorder are not always obvious, especially to those who don't have OCD. Sometimes you really need to pay close attention to someone who may have these signs to see them. I know someone who has a kid that always touches a certain part of the front door before they leave and when they come home. I told her that she needs to not let him do that. See, he is too young to understand and if she teaches him not to engage in OCD behavior when he is young, he will be less likely to engage in it when he is older.
I assume now that you are older since you are reading this and you may have developed your OCD habit over several years and now you are trying to find a way to stop the monster that you have created without even knowing about it. The signs of obsessive compulsive disorder in adults is not too different. You may still touch the same part of the door as the kid in the above paragraph. You may do other things. In fact OCD in people is like snowflakes, from a distance they all look the same, but when you look closer, each case is unique in it's own way. Thankfully, the techniques that I will teach you work for all the types of OCD that could exist because they get to the root of the problem.
I know that it is tough and maybe even a little embarrassing to look for help when you start to see signs of obsessive compulsive disorder in yourself. What is beautiful about the internet is that it's just you and me talking here. Now of course you can't say anything to me yet on this article, but below you will have that opportunity. For now however, I would like to focus on you. What are some of the things that you are doing that are just driving you batty? What are some of the things that you wish that you could change about your OCD behavior right now?
Now that you have written down some of the signs of obsessive compulsive disorder in your life, which were the things that you wish that you could change, I want you to think about how your OCD affects or could affect your family, especially if it got worse. I want you to imagine the things and the people that you stand to lose if you continue down the road that you are on. These are the things that you could lose. If this is what you want, continue doing what you are doing. However if this is not you and you want to change and you want to make the lives of the people around you more pleasant, then you need to have two things to succeed, patience and persistence.
Now that you have written down the signs of obsessive compulsive disorder that you have, write down some of the things that you could do to replace these behaviors. If you touch a doorknob, maybe you can replace that action with thinking about one way that you can show that you love the people that you are about to see when you enter or exit that door. Start to think of some things you can do to make the lives of the ones you love better. Now I don't have enough room to get into the real meat and potatoes of stopping OCD for good here, but I have some more great stuff for you below, enjoy!
