Guest Zee Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Friends Just wanted to let you know that i am again overcoming ocd. What has really helped me is :- Resisting engaging with the thoughts, having a deep understanding that the thoughts are ocd. This is very difficult at first but with practice you get stronger and better at doing this. Standing up to ocd, refusing to be afraid of the thoughts - when ocd shouts at me, i shout back, i have even said "im not afraid of you, i dont care what you say, go to hell ocd" i have said worse than that but i cant say it on the forum, lol. Accepting that i can never have 100% proof that what is ocd says isnt true - and being willing to accept this fact. Getting on with my life despite the thoughts / feelings being there. Not trying to rid myself of the anxiety but rather developing attitude of not caring whether ocd is there or not. In other words paying it little or no attention and refusing to let it ruin my life. Hope this helps Best wishes Zee Link to comment

Guest Zee Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks :original: You have to always be on the look out as ocd tries to get its grip - morning is the worst for me. But by not engaging with the thoughts and getting on with living the anxiety goes right down and you start getting stronger as ocd gets weaker. Edited April 11, 2013 by Zee Link to comment
