How to [at least] overcome OCD.


Question Posted Monday April 2 2007, 6:59 pm

15/f


I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and my case is pretty damn bad. I could worry over the SMALLEST things...and not sleep until I either know the answer, or do something right. An example: if I write a LONG essay in pencil ... and then I remember that I have to do it in ink or I get an F...I start FREAKING OUT...like complete, full out PANIC. I start crying, and worrying...and I can't help it. So...what do I do? I rewrite it in pen, and waste my time...only to find that it wasn't even due. This is what always happens...I worry about something, and it isn't even that important. The problem is that, these little problems causing my anxiety are literally RUNING my life. And I ask people what I could do...and they all give me different opinions at different situations...and I'm TOTALLY thrown off. How can I just stop obsessing/worrying over the smallest things that really have no value on my life? grrrr....thanks in advance

Hey. I know what your going through and it is really tough. Your very brave. My mom and my brother have OCD and I myself also have a mild case of that and anxiety. To be honest I would reccomend a visit to a therapist. There is no shame in it and they can help provide you with medicine that control your problem and help you live your life a little bit more stress free. Good luck and I hope everything works out. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. ♥ fabulous

I watched the True Life: I Have OCD episode on MTV, and most of them seen therapists to help them overcome it. The therapist put challenges to them & helped them overcome it. Maybe it could work for you.
