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!

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!
