If we say anyone about OCD they think we are doing acting 😢. OCD is a dreadful mental disorder which ruins my life. I have been suffering with ocd since 2019 but my family dont know anything about it 🥺

- OCD is the strong painful impulse !
- OCD is the fierce mental torture !
- 95% of humanity don't understand it !
- OCD awareness still be far away from our people like Andromeda galaxy 😢😢😢

OCD is the reason I feel like I am born in the wrong generation where there's no proper treatment to make me forget painful memories and makes me feel like if only I would've taken birth in the 22nd century or future where there's significant technologies for it

Tips that helped me thru severe OCD:
"You can't think your self to good living but you can act yourself to good thinking."
- less thinking and more action worked for me, and if an intrusive thought enters your mind do not fight it or judge yourself for thinking that way....identify the trigger and breathe thru it.... proceed on then with time your brain will be retrained to not identify that stimuli as a threat. Not easy I know but processing thru in a manageable portion thru exposure therapy is a key way to retrain the brain. I was hospitalized for 15 months because of severe OCD 9 yrs ago and seen several neuro doctors across the country.

Only people with OCD know how horrible it is to live a life with OCD..Cleaning and cleaning again, checking and rechecking, counting and recounting, not sure whether we switched off the lights and gas stove, repeating and arranging things in an.order, chanting some words to overcome compulsions, unable to differentiate between imagination and reality sometimes these are all OCD

According to the world if they can't see it then they can't believe it. Only person with mental disorder understand the pain of the person. I m suffering it from 2013. It ruined my career but afterall life is important. Take a medicine and pray God. May all of you get cured as soon as possible. You are not alone.

Can you believe i am a scientist, but my ocd drains all my respect from my colleagues. They think I'm in lack of confidence and a crazy person. I'm trying hard everyday, every minute. But I just can't get out of it completely. I go on with immense pain hoping for ocd to stop or to die.

You can never be certain that the door is locked, or that your hands are fully washed. It's all arbitrary in a sense of a door being locked or not (what if the lock breaks/fails?). Every problem I've had roots in uncertainty, what if my keys fell out of my pocket? What if my car fell down the driveway because I forgot to put it in park? Nothing is really that objective, all are prone to failure. It's hard to obtain certainty, when certainty doesn't exist. To me, it's a major root of this issue

I also have OCD and spent a fortune getting help in Texas. Literally the worst state get mental healthcare. My psychiatrist rambles on and I pay $175 a short session. Houston has the best OCD care! As long as you have 50 grand. I can barely pay for my medication. We as a people need to get together to fight this. They did it with opiates and there doing it with the mentally ill.

ocd is like the devil inside your head I'LL Drain all your energy doing things you don't want to do over and over again

[jennicablack]

Ocd is so insane, it has completely debilitated my life!

[chox]

Please someone talk about the thoughts and worries aspect more then compulsions. It’s hard trying to explain this to people who think it’s just an action based illness. I wish I could stop overthinking on the most basic of human interactions. I hate it and feel alone.

👉Train your brain to check things "TWICE" then "LET IT GO". No meds can help with anxiety and OCD. Taking meds can lead to illegal drugs, suicide and death. When OCD starts to happen, try to do something to distract your brain. Do this practice everyday. Have faith within yourself❤

❌ Don't skip this comment it can be your best OCD treatment (afterall you may loose 1-2min reading this)
Keep all this aside,
I have overcome my 10years ocd following this 3:

1- understand ocd & your triggering thought of ocd

2- Dont try to escape the that thought which triggers ocd.

3-Dont try to create opposite thought like "I should not think like this", "I should end this ocd", "it is sin" bla bla....

Now i explain following this 3:

How ocd works on your mind?
Ans:- Conflicting thought and fear is the reason. And if you see it is all Psychological and the more strong the opposite thought like -->" i should not do this", " it harms " or " it is a sin" more intensely you have ocd.

Example:- You have some intrusive thought and you try to oppose it saying i should not have this thought and its creates conflict which comes in cyclicle patterns (or) You try to escape thought by doing activity or other it is also conflict same continues.

And also if you have any strong beliefs such as religious etc., Dont have beliefs just question the belief understand the root of that belief why it is so.

Solution:-
Example:
Suppose i have a ocd thought to beat the person opposite to me some stranger(😂). Wait dont beat him we wait to face it psychologically
The moment this thought comes, we oppose this thought with (oppoing thoughts)"I should not have this thought", "it harms him", "its unethical", "Its creul". Or try to escape that thought by vacating the place(escape).

So what to do is let the thought run in your mind completely and understand and question the thought like "I will beat him" and dont ❌judge your thought whether its good or bad
✅Just silence your mind and just observe the thought
❌dont add any other thought like peacfull thought or any other opposing thought
✅just be quiet and observe the thought after sometime and After some incident of ocd thoughts you will go beyond your thought
