Any Natural Cures Or Treatments For OCPD?

try washing your hands over and over and over and over.......

meditation
learning to harness emotional energies with mental energies

very natural cures lol

No, that's OCD, not OCPD. :)

Lick the bottom of your feet before taking a shower or bath.

Swallow your spit after doing the above.

There's no other way around it.

Once you realize you're not going to die from licking your foot, you can go on to licking doorknobs, the bottom of shoes, your dog's feet. The list is endless.

Okay, roll camera. Take Two...ACTION!

I was being serious in asking the question and am looking for serious answers.

Many thanks in advance.

Does anyone here have a serious answer for me on this?

Doing what makes you uncomfortable in small doses over and over, to desensitize you to it. Or, forcing yourself to do (whatever you fear) in a small way, over and over, with the same objective.

It's due to low levels of tryptophan.

Tryptophan pills, melatonin pills, SAMe, whey, and B vitamins. B12 under the tongue.

Tryptophan can go low for lots of reasons from stress, junk food to bacterial and viral infections. So you may want to look for the underlying cause.

Did you not read the other replies? That has to do with OCD, not OCPD. OCPD has to do with being a perfectionist & getting irritated easily because you don't think other people are doing things correctly. OCD has to do with fears of things.

OCPD stands for Obstructive Cardio-Pulmonary Disease.

Hack a lunger for me, OP!

Try Wiping that next piece of pizza on the dirty countertop before eating it. Then wait an hour and realize that you're still alive and germs will not kill you as long as you keep your body healthy and take some extra Vitamin C to help bolster your immune system.

I think you're thinking of COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Damn, OP. I'd ask about trichotillomania, but based on the replies you're getting it's obvious no one knows what the hell they're talking about. Good luck!!

This is a physiological problem. There is no drug for this.
Diet will help by eliminating the zoom crash effect of empty calorie diets.

So it's been nearly two years since I started this thread and no one has an serious answer. Man, that just rots.

Its simple really...the thing that you do that is affecting you...stop doing it.

inositol 3 times a day 2 teaspoons

actually you have alot of good answers here...I know you are talking about a personality disorder, but it comes from the same place.

Ocd is a personality disorder, when you separate the two you are giving yoyrself an excuse to carry on.

Sometimes you just have to do things the wromg way, u hafta spel rong and marke stoopid misstakes...

enjioy my typos...i did it on perpus for ya

OCPD and OCD are both mental/emotional issues caused predominately from environmental and situational factors.

There is no drug (herbal or otherwise) treatment that treats the underlying cause of either. While there are many options to treat symptoms, the underlying cause needs to be ferreted out and 'worked on'.

There may be some relationship to nutrition - some. A healthy diet is not only good for the body, but also for the mind, heart and soul.

Don't expect a cure. Treatment, yes, cure - nope.

Get a therapist and start working on your issues. Half of the treatment is to understand the difference between your Obsessive nature and what is really the flaws of others. Too often folk with OCPD fail miserably in telling the difference and often shift blame easily on the other person.

There are tools that your therapist will give you to help you deal with and identify situations where you are being OCPD. And there are tools that s/he will hand you to better deal with the situation, depending on your nature, your 'causes' and how you behave/react to a given situation.

OP, 99.9999% of people think that OCPD and OCD are either the same thing, or very closely related.

I suggest you start a new thread asking for "Any natural cures or treatments for perfectionism?" or something like that. Talk in the language people can understand, or they will keep telling you how to get over a fear of germs ;)

lol when I seen the thread name I got excited because I suffer from OCD, then I read the comments, damn I got my hopes up.

Have somebody kick you in the balls or your ass every time you do one of your little ritualistic habits. Even if yoiu have tears in your eyes, they must be firm and continue to kick your balls everytime! They cannot falter.

If you're a hand-washer, they need to grab you by the hair and slam your forehead into the mirror.

Forget asking for help here bro. not gonna happen.

see. retards.

i cured 90% of my OCPD staying up 3 days and making a complete fucking mess of all the shit I made perfect.

I went from an obsessed perfectionist to being a bit of
a messy slob tbh.

I like it for a change.

Good luck!

You get stressed out if tasks are not done EXACTLY like the rules say, no? You are obsessed with following are doing things the way you believe they should be done, no?(ritual). You have OCD.

Possibly a high-functioning variance of Asperger's. I still think getting kicked in the balls when you're making schedules or recounting the number of days until your next load of laundry has to be done would help.

You may want to speak with a flower essence practitioner. I use them in my herbal practice, but this is a little beyond my experience. For many years, I thought flower essences were BS, but after a couple years of really giving them a chance, I have seen very amazing cures and responses. If you google the Flower Essence Society, I think they have a list of practitioners in the US and maube abroad. Due to the psych coomponent, many practitioners can do sessions and make recommendations over the phone.

As mentioned by otthers, meditation is effective for many mental health issues. I worked in a psychology clinic for years as a psych tech anf this was one of the favored treatments in the clinic.

Good luck. I have so much respect for those trying to deal with psych issues and mental health in a natural way.
