Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - I Ask For Advice

   The standard way is to push them with chemistry. Try psychotherapy first. Don't procrastinate. I know what it means to linger on such a problem.

   Number 1, this is not the standard way. I personally managed without a psychiatrist (who actually treats this mental illness) and without pills. When I was little, maybe 8-9 years old, it appeared maybe for the first time. I started doing "rituals", I had bad thoughts in my head about how if I didn't do something I would die * me or someone close to me * or something very bad would happen. It wasn't just that - at almost a second step I cracked my knee as I bent it, moving my neck in all sorts of directions, it's crazy work. Rituals, bad thoughts, and I went crazy over time and over the years. And I didn't know what it was until I saw on TLC a new show called OCD and saw that the people there had the same mental problem. Then I realized that everything is in my brain and if I don't do a ritual or something I don't listen to my brain nothing bad will happen. That's what I needed to know, it's all in my brain. And so in a week, the poppy was all gone. I faced him and defeated him, so must you. And performing rituals does not help you, they deepen the problem. Just understand that everything is in your brain. And one more thing: This "disease" can not disappear completely, it will be with you for the rest of your life, just a kind of suppressed. And for me, for years after that, he appears, but I don't pay attention to him and I don't do the things that my brain "tells" me. it doesn't help you, they deepen the problem. Just understand that everything is in your brain. And one more thing: This "disease" can not disappear completely, it will be with you for the rest of your life, just a kind of suppressed. And for me, for years after that, he appears, but I don't pay attention to him and I don't do the things that my brain "tells" me. it doesn't help you, they deepen the problem.

And for me, for years after that, he appears, but I don't pay attention to him and I don't do the things that my brain "tells" me.

   If you do not perform the rituals, you will writhe in agony for the first few weeks, and if you do them, you are doomed to be obsessed for the rest of your life. But it is absurd to say that you could deal with this problem on your own, seek help from a psychologist / psychotherapist, but in no case a psychiatrist, I will tell you the standard - that there is no salvation for you and that in order to support yourself, you must taking drugs - this is NOT true. You don't need chemistry, you need a change of mind - buy the book "Obsessed Brain", it's actually available for free on the Internet, search for it and follow the steps. I say again - the first weeks you will be crushed by a train, but it's worth it. Constantly do something, sing, dance, clean or whatever you do there, but do not do nothing! How old are you?

   This disease, like most mental disorders, is the result of a metabolic disorder in the brain tissue. It is corrected with medications prescribed by a psychiatrist. If one group of drugs has no effect, it is replaced by another.

   buy 5-HTP - a natural amino acid antidepressant. without a prescription is. powerfully increases the level of serotonin in the brain and reduces anxious thoughts and fear. otherwise do not try to stop the obsessive negative thoughts with various rituals - you will not succeed. however, what you can do is transform them into positive ones. just realize that everything is in your brain and everything that happens to you is absolutely subjective, not a given. you have the power to stop negative thinking at any moment, but you have to believe in yourself. believe in your inner strength, not in superstitions, rituals, etc., because the solution to the problem will not come from outside - never. neither with pills nor in any other way. your inner voice also has great power - when you feel such a state, think through your inner voice and repeat something positive in your mind. after all, it all comes down to calming down internally and creating a constant balance within yourself. so you will learn to control fear and you will not need additional rituals.

   Thanks to everyone for the tips. :) Number 3: I'm 17

   Ohhhh my painfully familiar "rituals" .... I have OCD for about 12-13 years and although it has sometimes subsided, after 3-4 months it appears again with new crazy rituals. What was it - coughing, straightening hair, knocking on objects and other things that I'm even embarrassed to mention. Now my OCD is in the phase of blinking more often. Abe disgusting story, but fortunately I do not do these things in front of others or at least try not to see me. If I talk to someone for 15 minutes as soon as we separate, I do a ritual. The bad thing for me is that if I listen to bad things (for diseases, pain, etc.) my situation worsens somehow, I start with the rituals so that these things don't catch up with me. As you can read, my situation is quite bad, I even wonder how they didn't notice me and declared me crazy, but I manage to control myself in front of others. What can I tell you ... I will not deceive you, this is very stubborn filth - like cigarettes, but as with them, this does not mean that you can not stop it. It is difficult, but if you are willing you will succeed. If you ask me, the hard thing is not to stop, and after 2 weeks not to start again with a new force ... there is no stopping. I'm already used to it, I just recommend you, not to try to give up at once, but not to do it in front of people, then to deliberately reduce the number of itaka .. Good luck and as I told you do not set unearthly tasks to you stop at once, and at first try not to show it in front of people and so on. If you need to download a body game to start playing when you start wanting a ritual, or something else sucks:

   I have had such a thing since I was very young and I perform various "rituals" every day ... I put the tube of pasta in a certain way otherwise I think that something bad will happen to me, I put the objects in a certain way, I step in certain places, I always get on with my right foot on the last step and all sorts of obsessive thoughts come to me ... and I never thought it was a mental disorder. Obviously I have to pay attention to him ... I guess I just have to ignore them if you've seen the movie Beautiful Mind. I hope it is still something insignificant, I would definitely look for more information

   От авторката: Хора трябва ли са се консултирам с психолог или психиатър за да го махна това нещо. Преди гледах едно предаване "Проект ОКР" и там единия пациент беше казал "Знам, че цял живот ще го имам това заболяване, но поне моя терапевт ме научи как да го контролирам" или нещо от сорта. В такъв случай аз мисля, че и сама мога да го контролирам, но се чудя дали не може да се махне напълно. Някой ми беше казал, че ако не предприемеш мерки навреме състоянието се хронифицирало. Аз вече го имам от 4 години някъде, то има ли накъде повече да се отлага? Ако някой е ходил на едно от двете моля да сподели какви са били резултатите и какво са го посъветвали. Иначе моите начини за контролирането му са разсейването и бягането, като съм си изразходили енергията някъде ми е по-спокойно и всякаш не ги правя толкова много ритуали. Вие също може да опитате. Таа моля за съветчета.

   From the author: Let me just add: Number 5, are you sure that these antidepressants are not chemistry and how long should they be taken? And when you stop them, do the obsessive thoughts and rituals start again? Thanks in advance.

   Good psychiatrists have told me that OCD is caused by an imbalance in the brain and cannot be done without medication. Only two drugs have an effect on OCD - sertraline and clomipramine. Tolkoz. It is best to psychiatrist psychotherapist - to combine both types of treatment.

   Number 11, obviously these psychiatrists are so good ... In OCD, unlike depression, for example, there is no chemical imbalance in the brain and this is exactly the reason why thoughts and rituals return after stopping the medication. OCD is part of the so-called anxiety disorders (neuroses). Their development is provoked by many factors - genetic predisposition, living environment, STRESS and others. It's no coincidence that I put stress hits, that's where it all comes from. Author, you may have noticed that under stress, thoughts and rituals intensify, you will work with the psychologist on it. I'm number 3 and I tell you again - don't make the mistake of going to a psychiatrist! Yes, in severe cases of OCD, medications are given, but at the same time, thinking therapy is given. Until you realize that you're not sick and that everything in your brain is fine and that you don't need medication, things will not get better. Good luck. Number 3

   Question: Have any of you ever had the feeling that the other person may read his muslas or be ashamed to think about certain things while with him and at the same time not be able to drive away that thought. I think this is also related to OCD. Ohh it sucks, how can this be avoided. I am asking for advice..

   to 13: It's a bit like OCD yes. The best way to deal with OCD is to not do the compulsions that ease the compulsions and to do things despite the anxiety. For example, you have anxiety from a thought and you avoid it, but the more you avoid it, the more the anxiety will intensify and the thought will intrude. This is because the brain begins to perceive this thought as a danger (because of the attached anxiety), and the dangers must be paid attention to, and it pushes it more and more to the fore. The cure is as follows. If an anxious thought comes to you, do not try to avoid it, but on the contrary - if necessary, strengthen it. If you have to think the most disgusting and disgusting things, if you are going to be connected with all sorts of negative events from leaving a loved one, through murder, through rape, in dying of AIDS and tnt. Just whatever unrealistic thought comes to you - you amplify it! This is done to reduce anxiety. Gradually, the brain gets used to the thought and will no longer generate anxiety.

   For me, the more I think about it, the worse it gets. And about the fear of not having my thoughts read. When I think of something and I am with a person, I feel a hell of a lot and I can't look him in the eye and communicate with him normally. When I don't think so, it's easier for me.
