When I went to a psychiatrist for the first time he told me that the ocd was a chronic, but today I know that he was wrong.

 

After passing through the ocd I think that I know the hell, I have seen the hell from inside, my own portable hell, but I'm cured and I want to bring my experience who wants to know.

Initially I must to say that my ocd was just obsessive (I had no compulsions), my ocd was just mental.
I've had many kind of obsessions, for example to hurt myself and others, exaggerated worries that became into desperate ruminations, and a endless of obsessions that covered all kind of absurd imaginable concerns.
As I said, the only thing I haven't had are compulsive behaviors such as classic cleaning obsessions, but I think that the keys that I will give you work well with them (even faster).

When I had ocd the worst moment for me was when the despair hit me in bursts, which caused, even, physiological reactions. I mean you can feel that feeling in your stomach, a rapid pulse, spontaneous sweating, insomnia or hand tremor. But all that is secondary physiological effects and the worst is the terrible psychological feeling of boundless despair, of a bottomless pit. Perhaps many may know this feeling and when you feel it, you may have a fear of going crazy, losing control or doing an outrage. This feeling is also itself the germ of other obsessions.

I have tried several different therapists during the 15 years of my ocd.  During that time I have thought about suicide many times, and I have thought also that this disease was impossible to defeat.
The despair, this feeling that is the acme of the anxiety,
was my particular torturer during long periods, but during that time I never gave up, I never threw in the towel. I never tired to explore and investigate, trying to go out of this hell. The experience with several therapists offered to me different learnings about this desease, and finally one day, the things began to change.

I will explain the way that I have followed to defeat OCD. Their results are not immediate, because the brain chemistry can't change snapping your fingers, so you need two things: consistency and discipline. But having taken the method until its conclusion I have the conviction that it is applicable to everyone, against any obsession, and that eventually reaches full effectiveness in all cases.

If you have not quite developed the discipline and consistency, do not worry, maybe one day the despair will lead you to these qualities. Those of you who are really tired of obsessions you be able to do anything to get out of them, and this works. I will explain its two basic steps:

1 DO NOT FEED THE OBSESSION.
 A  pure obsessive person constantly is ruminating his ideas, looking for an answer to his question or a reason to release him from his obsession, sometimes check situations or things, or in the case of compulsive persons, takes a compulsive ritual.

These acts, which are based on our conscious will (we can decide about them), we provide some relief while we are running, but all they do is feed the obsession, and in the end only managed to waste time and increase our frustration.

Is possible that we may not or we do not know to stop the obsessive thinking. I never got it at all, but we can, and listen to me please, do not voluntarily feed the obsession. This means that we should not think in obsession intentionally or, in cases of large compulsive rituals, we must strive to avoid these conducts although we cause a lot of tension. The thoughts will continue to appear, but they will not be caused by us, the craving to run a compulsion haunt us, but stress they bring will only be temporary. In the case of obsessions, thoughts still appear without us want, but if you do not feed them consciously, they act as the clouds that cover the sky. The wind pushes them and they run, and are slowly dissipating. Maybe it is not a matter of hours or days, but over time the obsessions are diluted if we do not feed them.

If we feel that the obsession overwhelms us too, we can set a few minutes a day, when we wake up or just before going to bed, to ruminate the obsession consciously, that is, to sit down and think about it without doing anything else. Ten minutes controlled with a clock, and if we develop the discipline not to get out of that time, we will be on the right track.
To accelerate this process is recommended to have a life rich in sensations. Relate to people, varied activities, sports, see sunlight, walking in nature, perhaps artistic activity … the possibilities are endless. This is important because the experiences generates sensations through our senses, and they create impressions in our minds that are gradually taking the place of obsessions.

If you search a rapid answer to the question of what is the solution to a concrete obsession, is as follows: the solution of the obsessions is do not search the solution (although it may seem a contradiction). A person without ocd when have an absurd idea (for example, to hurt other persons), takes a few seconds to change his thoughts, but the person with ocd believes in the absurd thoughts and thinks hours or days searching a solution, but finally he do not finds the solution and he increases his frustation and his anxiety; for this reason our final objetive must be to behave like healthy people: the solution of the obsessions is do not search the solution.
 

 

I will continue… (I go slowly, I know, I would like that you understand that for me to write in english is difficult, sorry).

Do you understand my english? help me to improve the blog, let your comment, please.

I'm cured: " ¡How I did not know that was impossible, I did it ! "
