How I Beat OCD
I posted a video three years ago and got a lot of views/comments.
This is an update. OCD hasn't been a problem for me at all. It comes and goes, just like everything else.
You CAN overcome it!

    "I'd literally feel dead inside" This is so true for me. Sometimes I don't feel destressed or anxious I just feel emptyness and sort of guilt.

    Thank you for your thoughts :) does anyone else have any thoughts on medication? I've had pure OCD for a long time, finished therapy a few months ago but have been struggling hard for the last month or so. Honestly, at the moment I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong as I've assessed my behaviour and don't think I'm completing any hidden compulsions. I know that medication would most likely help me for the moment, but is it likely to help me in the long term?

From then onwards everytime while I try to sleep I will be manually breathing and overly focussed on It. I could not disengage from that.

    The one and only best way to overcome Ocd is to fear nothing , just believe that what has happened has happened , but from this moment I will be positive and be kind towards people and remember believe in you and God,or stick to your loved ones as they would believe in you, as it supports us that someone is looking after us. All this will help, I'm saying from my personal experience.

    I’m so glad you got better and you’re feeling alive. All of you with OCD, I hope you can find peace one day. What I found really a helps me is to let all thoughts into my head- just say that like an affirmation at times. And then forget you even have ocd! It’s a miracle sometimes, the way it works :) Edit: A year after I wrote this comment, OCD was overcome. Exposure response prevention therapy (ERP) is the best way. I can't recommend it enough - to face our deepest fears is what sets us free. My beautiful souls, blessings to you. Blessings, find peace, may you set yourselves free. You are worthy.
