Help overcoming OCD ?

Question

I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

most people have OCD to some degree.

I often time things like I'll say stupid things like if this door doesn't shut in 3 seconds my cat will die ect.

I know this is stupid but I want to stop.

any suggestions?

Answer 2

When you think about those sort of things or start saying it, immediately stop yourself.  walk away from the situation, like the door, and do something else that entertains you.

Answer 3

i have a degree of it too

but i don't think about it when i do obsessive compulsive disorder stuff like tapping my knee for the same amount of times or touching poles as i walk or rewriting something for the 132441 million times, i can't keep my door wide open too i go crazy or things like that

like i said i never think about it i just do it like it was something normal

the first step is to realize the craziness of the behavior and to reason yourself out of making it and remember every times you let that door open is a little victory, break the habit by knowing the behavior and not practising it . good luck
