We can't beat obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise it wouldn't be called obsessive-compulsive disorder. For obsessive-compulsive disorder with stones, we are eggs. Don't touch the stone with eggs.
That is, obsessive-compulsive disorder should be regarded as a part of your body, just like your eyes and nose. It's a part of your body. Everyone has obsessive-compulsive disorder. As long as your mind is normal, you are compulsive. So why aren't normal people forced to live? Because many questions don't need to be answered, normal people just think about it. Because normal people accept coercion and do not pursue perfection, coercion cannot pose a threat to them. However, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder regard their obsessive-compulsive behavior as abnormal, always competing with obsessive-compulsive behavior and pursuing perfection abnormally. So I will force you to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Without control and restraint, it will only make it worse and make your anxiety, anxiety and fear appear.
In obsessive-compulsive disorder, all psychological resistance, or distraction, is ineffective. No matter how ever-changing obsessive-compulsive disorder is, "letting the heart drift with the flow" is the core and key to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Heart disease needs cardiology, and drugs are used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. "Let nature take its course" can be understood as ignoring symptoms when obsessive-compulsive disorder strikes, or refusing to resist or interfere, or accepting, or ignoring or not afraid of confrontation. At the same time, we must allow the anxiety and fear caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder to exist, and we must accept the anxiety caused by symptoms when obsessive-compulsive disorder appears, because this anxiety is normal. Only by accepting this anxiety will the anxiety subside normally. If you suppress and control anxiety, it will inevitably aggravate the influence of anxiety on yourself and cause more pain. The most important thing you have to do is to calm your mind and let nature take its course, which is very important.
OCD is like riding a bike on ice. The harder you push, the harder you fall. It is like a spring, too. The more you press it, the higher it plays. If you don't move it, it will stay still. Your obsessive-compulsive disorder is similar to the principle this spring. Don't deliberately control it in the future, just let nature take its course. One more thing, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder often fantasize that everything is perfect, which is wrong. For example, most patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have the thinking concept of "demanding perfection". Everything must be perfect. But if you think about it, is there perfection in the world? The answer is obviously yes and no! ! So when nature and reality are not perfect, but you insist on perfection, the result will be very contradictory and painful! Try to accept the imperfect self and the imperfect world, and face life with an inclusive attitude. I suggest that you treat compulsive thinking and compulsive behavior differently. For compulsive thinking, you should let nature take its course and adopt an accepting attitude, while for compulsive behavior, you should adopt a controlling attitude. The complexity and repetitiveness of obsessive-compulsive disorder determine that the road to rehabilitation is long, but persistence is the key, and I believe it will definitely pay off! For another example, many people are always "afraid" of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, normal people will do the same, but the parties don't care. Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients are afraid of this kind of thinking, so the more they are afraid, the more nervous they are, and constantly strengthen and consolidate this consciousness. The reason is that OCD patients must first change their thinking, that is, everyone has had these thoughts, so have I, and I am as normal as everyone else. Only in this way can we gradually build confidence. Relying on this, we can stand in front of the "paper tiger" of obsessive-compulsive disorder, fight against it and defeat it.
Don't always try to resist it or try to get rid of it, learn to accept it as a part of you, because the more you resist it, the easier it will affect you, because at this time your mind is full of it. Although you want to get rid of it, it just reminds you of its existence and will make you more sad. Pursuing perfection is a good thing, but who in this world can achieve absolute perfection without making mistakes? The answer is none. As long as you are human, no one can be absolutely perfect. Our reason is limited, and you can't exhaust all the accidents. This is what God can do. So, let nature take its course, don't let it occupy your heart, put it in a corner of your heart, don't touch it, even if you accidentally touch it again sometimes, don't worry, keep doing what you should do, whether it returns to that corner or not, and you will gradually calm down.
When you think something uncontrollably in your mind, relax mentally, don't control yourself to think hard or chase it deliberately, allow your anxiety and fear to appear, and then let nature take its course to calm your heart. It may be a little difficult at first, but it's easy to find that you don't want to do it again and again! Remember, the key is to let nature take its course and calm your mind. That's how I was cured. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is like patting a ball, and the bounce of the ball represents morbid thinking. So, how can we make the ball still, that is, the symptoms disappear? The answer is not to bounce the ball, and the ball will naturally stop. Only when the patient ignores its existence and puts his heart down will the symptoms slowly disappear. Why do many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder struggle with it for many years, but they have been unable to overcome it? The reason is that you can't "let nature take its course and let it go". Learn to calm your mind, let go, and do it bit by bit. It will be very painful at first. As long as you persist in doing it for a long time, obsessive-compulsive disorder can be completely cured. So I recommend four therapies for your reference.
The first therapy-sedation therapy.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, "do whatever you want, do whatever you want" as these two items. "Let nature take its course" refers to the psychological aspect, that is, when some ideas appear, let them appear naturally, and don't force yourself not to think about it. The word nature, here, refers to the idea that appears naturally, so that it can think naturally, rather than controlling and forcing it to stop. "Do what you want to do" refers to the behavior, that is, do what you should do now. Then let nature take its course, that is, when some ideas appear, don't force them to stop. It's okay to think about it, but now it's time to cook, you should cook, you should study, you should do what you should do now, that is, do what you want. It is not to let the brain interfere too much, ignore one thing, and then try to do something else, instead of trying to control or forget the current state. Work hard+face it calmly+let nature take its course. This mentality is the best mental state to really treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Plus a normal life, a good mood and my willpower. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be gradually relieved, we can live a normal life, and then we can gradually recover, without refusing, analyzing or judging, just like we wear clothes. We have never felt that human beings have a problem wearing clothes. Why? That's because we regard clothes as a part of our body, so-called letting nature take its course. For example, if you have an alarm clock at home, you won't notice its ticking after a long time. Residents around the railway station can also sleep soundly, which is accepting the influence on them. They always come and go naturally, just like we eat with chopsticks, write with pens, walk and brush our teeth, and they all flow in harmony. You deliberately change, but it seems unnatural.
The second treatment is as follows:
Step one: read your mind clearly. Learn to distinguish your forced thinking, leave your thoughts, persist in ignoring them, and be afraid of confrontation. Your thoughts are just thoughts.
Step 2: Stop all compulsions and rituals.
Step 3: Accept emotions. In the process of stopping compulsive behavior, negative emotions such as anxiety and fear will last for a period of time. As long as you insist on not doing compulsive behavior, but continue to do what you should do with such uncomfortable feelings as anxiety and fear, your mood will gradually ease over time according to its laws. Do this thousands of times and you win. OCD will eventually fade out of your life.
The third therapy-Morita therapy
The therapeutic principle of "conforming to nature" is to accept the symptoms honestly and truly realize that resistance, resistance, avoidance and suppression are all futile. Don't treat symptoms as a foreign body in your body and mind, and study and work without rejection or resistance. It should be said that "conforming to nature" is the most basic treatment principle in Morita therapy. This basic principle contains the following multi-layered meanings: naturally understand the laws of mental activities and accept all kinds of ideas and concepts that may appear in yourself.
The fourth treatment:
Ignore the therapy of "no fear and no confrontation", then what is "no fear and no confrontation"?
1 Ignore: Ignore is the wisest strategy for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. If the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder do not cause anxiety in patients, then over time, they will leave because they feel "bored".
2 Not afraid: For patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, their symptoms are only superficial, and what really works is their bad personality and way of thinking. The primary task of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder is to rebuild their personality, change the bad personality structure, establish self-confidence, cultivate good psychological quality, and form a positive, optimistic, fearless and courageous way of thinking, rather than focusing on eliminating symptoms immediately. This work should start with a person's attitude towards symptoms. The so-called "not afraid" is not to suppress the symptoms, you have to think: it's no big deal to let the symptoms appear. Even if it has a little bad influence on me, it is temporary, limited and irreversible. If I don't fear and fight, my psychological quality will get stronger and stronger, so in the long run, I will get better and better, I will be successful and happy. It can be seen that "not afraid" is the most important attitude of "ignoring, not afraid and not confronting". Only "not afraid" can ignore and not confront. Although some patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder secretly tell themselves that they are indifferent to symptoms, not afraid and not antagonistic, they actually hope that the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder will be eliminated immediately after saying this. So deep down, they are not really afraid, so there will be no curative effect.
No confrontation: No confrontation means "letting nature take its course". "Let nature take its course" is not to let itself drift and do nothing after the symptoms appear, but to act and work hard in the right direction, adhere to normal study and life, and do what you should do. "Let nature take its course" is not to let you watch it whenever you want, but to make you endure certain pain, keep attending classes and keep learning. Thinking seriously, imagining positively and being good at asking questions can make you more engaged in your study. In this way, symptoms will interfere with your study and life less and less, and your fear and anxiety about it will gradually be alleviated. "Let nature take its course" means not only "doing whatever you want" when symptoms come, but also doing some valuable, meaningful and constructive activities in peacetime. This includes setting goals, pursuing something, increasing knowledge, upgrading talents and building real self-confidence. Actively live, cultivate a wide range of interests, observe, explore and experience the beautiful things in life, do not escape difficulties, treat setbacks correctly, and cultivate their ability to solve problems.
In short, it is to find a suitable treatment under the principle of calming the heart and letting nature take its course. The treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder is a painful process, and obsessive-compulsive disorder cannot be cured without going through a painful process. At least in the beginning, it will be extremely uncomfortable and painful. As I have told many friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is very painful to correct normal thinking when obsessive-compulsive disorder becomes a habit. Treating obsessive-compulsive disorder is like driving. When braking, there is always a little inertia before the car stops.
One more thing, obsessive-compulsive disorder is common to everyone. Some people are mild, while others are obvious.
So obsessive-compulsive disorder can't be cured as long as it doesn't affect your life. You should seriously consider these suggestions I gave you. It will be very painful at first, and there will usually be a painful adaptation period of 3-6 months. Stick to what I said above for two or three weeks, and you will find yourself changing. 15 years old has obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD has tortured me for more than 20 years. My life is completely ruined, and I am in pain. I hope I can help you and learn from it. The above is my personal efforts to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I also draw lessons from the treatment experience of some netizens. Welcome those who need it to paste, copy and reprint the above words. I am very grateful. )
