Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Uncertainty is to be avoided.

Family and friends call you a “control freak.” Silently, you agree. The theme in your life is avoidance.

You experience thoughts you don’t want and have uncomfortable feelings you don’t like.

It feels like you spend your life trying to eliminate those unusual thoughts.

Control – that’s your single agenda. You don’t want to feel the intense pain that’s never-ending. So, you have no choice but to obey what your mind’s telling you.

You’re a slave to your mind and feelings.

The future looks bleak, making you feel helpless and hopeless. There’s nothing you can do to make this fear go away.

You have zero faith in your ability to handle challenges you’re unprepared for.

There seems to be no choice but to suppress the persistent thoughts, urges, and impulses. So, you feel driven to perform repetitive behaviors or mental acts as a response to reduce your anxiety or distress.

Freedom is something you sacrifice.

Each day involves countless hours engaging with your OCD. At this point, you’re on automatic pilot, so you don’t even notice. Forget about the things you want to do.

The mask you wear on the outside makes you seem put together. On the inside, however, you’re falling apart.

Symptoms get in the way of fully trusting yourself. The fear is crippling, making you realize that you can’t live this way.

You are not alone.
