control my O.C.D.

I fisrt noticed it around the age of 10. #’s, patterns, mannerisms…i’m not sure if it’s lessened since then but it’s definitely changed over the years. I basically need to stop dwelling on things!

Hey! I suffered from O.C.D. up until my junior year of high school. I used to think that if I didn’t do my rituals, something bad was going to happen. Do any of you get that? I’m going to be a senior in college next year and I was able to stop by realizing that I am not the one in control. Whenever I wanted to do one of my rituals I just reminded myself of the this fact and gave my worries up to God (who I believe is the one in control). Try doing this…giving up your worries to something outside yourself. If it’s not God right now, tell a close friend or even journal about it…just channel it to another place other than yourself. Let me know how it goes!

i feel with you :/
this takes so much of my time and effort..
i just want the stupid rules to stop :(

Its taken over my life. It took over my life years ago. I have been doing research on how to control it; they say there is no cure.
