Support Groups
| Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) |
| OCD took control of me in early April 2002. Diagnosed, April 8th, 2002. I've worked very hard to overcome it, and I've had success. At one point, my ocd was so severe, my contamination ocd was in complete control, and I couldn't open doors or turn on the hot or cold water faucets. To do so, I would use a clean paper towel, or clean shirt. lots of hard work and determination. OCD no longer controls me. | |
| Treatments | |
| exposure therapy (Working / Worked) | |
| prayer (Working / Worked) | |
| schedule change (Working / Worked) i began changing around my schedule, so that it wasn't repetitive. the smallest changes in my schedule, proved to help me tremendously in my battle to control my ocd. | |
| movies (Working / Worked) i used movies as a way to escape from anxiety caused by my ocd. a good movie, would sometimes be enough distraction to get me focused on other things. | |
| gardening (Working / Worked) when my ocd was severe, gardening gave me something to do, to get my mind off of the anxiety caused by ocd. i love gardening | |
