I suffered from OCD for 18 years, ask me a question

You sorted it? I assume you still have OCD, since it doesn't really have a cure. I should know, I've had it since I was a child.

I had it from the age of six, I sorted it at the age of 24.

Yes I know about OCD, don't worry, made my life a damn misery.

How did you sort it out? How controlling was it? Minor or major? Do you function better now? Ocd gave me a photographic memory because I have to connect the dots. Doesn't give me answers just one thing leads to another and it is always connected.

What do you mean 'sorted it'. Explain sorted it, what is that.

Suffering for 17 years.
Getting in bed to sleep be the worst part or should I say try to get in bed argh!

what was your compulsion?

it's a brit expression means figured it out or got rid of it...lotus is a brit chick

It was completely controlling.

I was unable to do anything just once, everything had to be twice or if I was "on odd numbers" three times - even though number 1 is an odd number, it had to be more than 1. This included EVERYTHING from touching the front door key, the telephone, TV, everything you can think of - what would happen if I did not do this? I used to think my mum would die, this was from the age of 6.

By the time I was 10, I so wanted to tell somebody, but was "not allowed to" - if I did, something bad would happen to my mum - this was the feeling I used to get anyway.

Then one day, when I was 24 years old, I was sitting in my living room and knocked my hand against the hearth, by the fireplace, I was on "even numbers" at this point, I was about to touch it again, as I had done so many time in the past, when I suddenly stopped and found myself saying.

"Do what you want, I can't take anymore, I really don't care anymore and I refuse to do what you tell me" - it was at this point that a change took place.

I still had the nagging feelings and the "threats" but they became less and less until in the end, they were but a mere whisper.

It took fight and determination, but this only occurred after an absolute desolate feeling that I really didn't care at that one moment, whether I lived or died.

...and probably up way past her bed-time!

I suffer from it. Have since about the age of 18. Never had it before that. God its awful . My main rebellion against it is to mess up my immeidate living area on purpose, then turn all the water on and leave the house for a few hours. Well, not now. But i did that once. Thats how burnt out and wasted i became from it. My OCD still haunts me to this day but signicantly reduces with less external pressure. Unfortunately the corrupt family court system has my OCD going through the roof as of late. :( :hiding:

One quick note. I once heard an idea from the Jane Roberts seth books is the same mechanism behind OCD is the same as souls attatched to earth trying to recorrect past mistakes and in effect changing their past ( or atleast trying).

LOL not quite, being 50 years old, I can go to be what time I wish. What about you?

Thanks!

I can go to bed whenever I want, but I have to do it 3 times...

Hi!

OCD is destructive, it can end up ruling your life.

Try to think the exact moment that it started for you. Something triggered yours off, something triggers all OCD off, but the reasons are different for everybody.

You will be halfway there when you twig what the beginning cause was.

What does it mean to "go to be"...is that part of the OCD thing?

silly sod LOL!

lazy sod is more like it

I'ma lazy sid

It sounds like you were under control of an attached spirit and then at age 24 you finally got enough power to make it stop.

A spiritual perspective on OCD

...There is something else to consider, however, and that is the role that earthbound spirits may play in anxiety disorders. Lower astral entities who want to feed off our energy will plant ideas in our heads that are designed to lower our vibration so they can get past our natural psychic barriers. (This is kind of like distracting a prison guard by throwing rocks in another direction so they can slip over the prison wall.) Often the anxious thoughts of OCD do come from lower astrals who either want to get into our energy field or keep our vibration low so they can continue to feed off of the fear they're evoking.

It's also possible for OCD to arise via the attachment of a spirit that had its own anxiety issues. For example, if your aunt was paranoid about germs, and she were to linger and attach to your energy field when she departed this life, you could suddenly find yourself obsessed with germs just like she was.

Many people who suffer OCD may have had P.A.N.D.A.S as children.
It's caused by a Strep Throat infection.
Some people have been cured as adults after learning about PANDAS and having the proper tests done.
AKA: Blood antibody titers to see if you have elevated Strep Antibodies.

Yes, I could go with that, regarding a spirit to be honest.

Originally, something quite bad happened to me when I was six years old. Two days later, I was watching some sort of documentary at school - ironically, it was on volcanoes - and I felt myself split from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and inside, it was completely black.

There were no words to describe, but it was horrendous.

Now that is quite intriguing actually.

I have no idea whether I had a Strep Throat Infection before six years old (will have to ask my mum), but I know that I have had that two or three times in my life, I seem to be prone to that infection.

Definitely going to ask now, thanks!

What you are still suffering now you mean?

Age 6!

Could be vaccine reaction, or sugar and caffeine intolerences.

It is always the diet since there is no proof for the
condition even existing!

No, it was due to something that happened to me when I was six. Very traumatic, causing a split in my psyche.

When I was a child I had some odd beliefs, like if I didn't dry up the spoons properly all my family would get sick. I had a few weird one. I eventually realised they were dumb and let them go. The letting go part was fun. Just trust yourself and bugger the consequences.

That was the point I got to Flo, when I was 24.

I seriously couldn't have cared less at that point, whether I lived or died.

Quite painful looking back

It can be done. You just have to trust yourself, and not let your mind dwell on your fears. It's just shadow boxing.
