subject: Ocd Depression - How To Overcome It [print this page] OCD depression is one the greatest tragedies in mental health out there. The reason for this being the tragedy that it is is because it is completely and utterly unnecessary! OCD really is a useless malady but there is hope for you! You see, I've studied OCD for many years and have personally worked with clients numbering in the hundreds. The dirty truth about OCD is that it is looked at as an addiction when in reality it is actually a habit.
Programs that have been powerful and effective against stopping addictions have been proven to help people stop OCD. Unfortunately still many people suffer from OCD depression because their therapists are still using dated tactics that really never quite worked.
It is a shame that so many people suffer from OCD depression needlessly, however, you do not have to be one of those that do! You see, the basics of ridding yourself of OCD are defying the rituals that plague you. This means that you do the exact opposite of what your OCD wants you to do in a lot of cases. When you do this, you are learning how to face your anxiety and manage it.
Once you start to learn how to manage your anxiety, your OCD depression will greatly decrease because when you have victories by not giving in to your rituals, it makes you happy, not the other way around. Think about this: what you have been doing has not been working that well in helping you cure your OCD, has it?
Another aspect of OCD depression is when a person lets themselves go, emotionally, physically, spiritually. This can really destroy your life and depression like this in itself can be addicting. Misery loves company and there are multiple sites on the web that take advantage of this very fact. The sites that I speak of are forums where a whole bunch of people with OCD validate each other and hold each other down.
I wish that OCD depression could be overcome simply by visiting the OCD message boards and forums, unfortunately the sad truth is that all these sites accomplish is to make OCD part of your identity. If you go to these sites, you'll see that there are people who are proud of their OCD. These people will reject anything that does not involve drugs or CBT. If you ever want to be rid of your OCD, do not bother visiting these websites!
Now, to actually rid yourself of OCD depression, obviously you'll want to be rid of your OCD. It sounds simple and it is, but it is tedious. It takes work and lots of it. The reward for this work is an OCD free life at the end of the day. Are you willing to do the work? I've prepared some powerful OCD materials for you below, enjoy!
