How to overcome psychological discomfort (obsessive-compulsive disorder)?

For obsessive-compulsive disorder, if the mind cannot be adjusted well, it will have an impact on work and life. Especially when you are about to face the college entrance examination, you can imagine the difficulties. The following text is very helpful for psychological adjustment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I hope you can find the key to curing obsessive-compulsive disorder. I wish you good luck.

We can’t deal with obsessive-compulsive disorder head-on, otherwise it wouldn’t be called obsessive-compulsive disorder. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is a stone, we are eggs, don't touch the eggs with the stone.

You should regard obsessive-compulsive disorder as a part of your body, just like your eyes and nose. Everyone has obsessive-compulsive disorder. As long as your thinking is normal, you will have it. Force, so why aren’t normal people stumped by force? Because many questions do not require an answer, normal people can get over it after thinking about it. Because normal people accept coercion and do not pursue perfection themselves, coercion does not pose a threat to them. However, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder regard their compulsion as abnormal, always contend with it, and pursue perfection in a perverted way. So I force you. When treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, you must not control or restrain yourself. That will only make it more serious. You must allow your anxiety, restlessness, and fear to appear.

In obsessive-compulsive disorder, all psychological resistance or diversion of attention is ineffective. No matter how obsessive-compulsive disorder changes, "putting your mind at ease and letting nature take its course" is the core and key to treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. . Heart diseases also need to be treated by medicine doctors, who use drugs to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. "Put your mind at ease and let nature take its course" can be understood as ignoring the symptoms when obsessive-compulsive disorder attacks, or not resisting or interfering, or accepting, or ignoring, not being afraid, not fighting-------, and At the same time, we must allow the anxiety and fear caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder to exist. When obsessive-compulsive disorder appears, we must accept the anxiety caused by symptoms, because this kind of anxiety is normal. Only by accepting this kind of anxiety can anxiety subside normally. If you suppress and control anxiety, it will inevitably aggravate the impact of anxiety on yourself and cause you more pain. The most important thing you should do is to calm down and let nature take its course. This is extremely important.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is like riding a bicycle on ice. The harder you push, the harder you fall. It's like a spring. The more you press it, the higher it bounces. If you don't move it, it will stop on its own. The principle of your obsessive-compulsive disorder is similar to that of this spring. From now on, don't try to control or suppress it, just let nature take its course. Another point is that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder often imagine everything to be perfect, which is wrong. For example, most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have a mindset of "striving for perfection." Strive to do everything perfectly. But if you think about it calmly, does perfection exist in the world? The answer is obviously yes, no! ! So when nature and reality are imperfect, and you try to force it to be perfect, the result will definitely be contradictory and painful! Try to accept your imperfect self and imperfect world, and face life with an inclusive attitude. It is recommended that you treat obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors differently. For obsessive thoughts, you should let things take their own course and adopt an accepting attitude, while for compulsive behaviors, you should adopt an attitude of controlling and not doing them. The complexity and recurrence of obsessive-compulsive disorder determines the long road to recovery, but the most important thing is persistence, I believe it will definitely pay off! Another example: Many people are always "afraid" of the emergence of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, this happens to normal people, but the person involved doesn't care. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder are afraid of the emergence of this kind of thinking, so the more they are afraid, the more it will appear, and the more it appears, the more nervous they will be, and they will continue to strengthen and consolidate this awareness. The reason is that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder must first change their thinking, that is, everyone has had these thoughts, and so have I. I am as normal as everyone else. In this way, you can gradually build up your self-confidence. By learning to put your mind at ease and let nature take its course, you can stand firm in front of the "paper tiger" of obsessive-compulsive disorder, fight it, and defeat it.

Don’t always try to resist or get rid of it, learn to accept it as a part of you, because the more fierce you resist, the easier it will be to affect you, because at this time it is all in your mind It is it that although you want to get rid of it, it just reminds you of its existence, which makes you even more sad. The pursuit of perfection is indeed a good thing, but who in this world can achieve absolute perfection in doing things without making any mistakes? The answer is no. As long as we are human, no one can achieve absolute perfection. Our human rationality is limited. You cannot exhaust all accidents. That is something that only God can do. So, let nature take its course and do what you should. Don’t let it occupy your thoughts. Place it in a corner of your heart and don’t touch it. Even if you touch it accidentally sometimes, don’t worry. , continue to do what you should do, don't care if it returns to that corner, and you will calm down slowly.

When you are thinking about something uncontrollably in your brain, relax mentally, do not control yourself to think about it, do not deliberately pursue it, and allow your anxiety and fear to appear. Then let nature take its course and calm down. It may be a little difficult to do it at first, but time and time again you will find that you no longer want to do it, and it will become easier! Remember, the key is to let nature take its course and be at peace with it, that’s how I healed. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is like shooting a ball. The bouncing ball represents pathological thinking.

So, how can we make the ball stop, that is, the symptoms disappear? The answer is to stop hitting the ball, and the ball will naturally stop. The patient can only ignore its existence, calm down and let nature take its course, and the symptoms will slowly disappear. Why do many people Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have struggled with it for many years, but have been unable to defeat it? The reason is that they cannot "let nature take its course and calm down". Learn to calm down and let nature take its course, and calm down little by little. It will be painful at first, but as long as you keep doing it for a long time, obsessive-compulsive disorder can be completely cured. Therefore, I recommend three therapies for your reference.

The first therapy-------calm your mind therapy

In fact, it is very simple, that is, "calm your mind." "It is natural and it should be done" should be these two items. "Put your mind at ease and let nature take its course" refers to the mental aspect, that is, when some thoughts appear, let them appear naturally and do not force yourself to think about them. The word "natural" here refers to thoughts that arise naturally and are allowed to occur naturally without controlling or forcing them to stop. "Do what you should do" refers to behavior, which is to do what you should do now. Then let nature take its course, which means that when some thoughts appear, don't force them to stop. It's okay to think about it, but now it's time to cook, you have to cook, it's time to read, you have to Go study and do what you should do now, that is what you should do. It means not letting the brain interfere too much, not taking it seriously, and then trying to do other things instead of trying to control or forget the current state. Work hard + face things calmly + let nature take its course. This mentality is the best mental state to truly treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, you have a normal life routine, a good mood, and your own willpower. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can gradually be relieved, and you can live a normal life. Once you adapt to this state, you can gradually heal without rejecting, analyzing, or judging. Just like how we wear clothes, we never think that there is a problem with human beings wearing clothes. Why? That's because we regard clothes as a part of our body, so let nature take its course. For example, if you have an alarm clock at home, over time you won’t notice the ticking sound of the alarm clock. Residents around the train station can also sleep soundly. This is because they have accepted the influence on them. It comes and goes naturally, just like we eat with chopsticks, write with a pen, walk, and brush our teeth. It all flows in harmony. generally. If you deliberately change it, it will appear unnatural.

The second therapy is as follows:

Step one: See your thoughts clearly. Learn to identify your own obsessive thoughts, stay away from them, and persist in ignoring them without fear or confrontation. Thoughts are just thoughts.

Step 2: Stop all compulsions and rituals.

Step 3: Accept emotions. In the process of stopping compulsive behavior, negative emotions such as anxiety and fear will continue for a period of time. As long as you insist not to do compulsive behavior, but continue to do what you should do with these uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, fear, etc., your emotions will It gradually eases over time according to its pattern. If you persist like this thousands of times, you will win. OCD will eventually fade out of your life.

The third therapy-----Morita therapy

The treatment principle of "conforming to nature" is to accept the symptoms honestly and truly understand them. It is futile to resist, resist, avoid or suppress it. Don’t regard symptoms as foreign objects in your mind and body, do not reject and resist them, and study and work with symptoms. It should be said that "according to nature" is the most basic treatment principle in Morita therapy. This basic principle contains the following multi-layered meanings: Understand the laws of mental activities in accordance with nature, and accept various thoughts and concepts that may appear in oneself.

In short, it is to find a treatment method that suits you based on the treatment principle of keeping your mind at ease and letting nature take its course. Treating obsessive-compulsive disorder is a painful process. It is impossible to cure obsessive-compulsive disorder without going through the painful process. At least for a period of time, it will be extremely uncomfortable and extremely painful. As I have said to many of my friends, when obsessive-compulsive disorder becomes a habit, it is very painful to correct the thinking of a normal person. Treating obsessive-compulsive disorder is like driving a car. When you brake, there is always a little inertia before the car stops

Another point is that everyone has obsessive-compulsive disorder, some people have it mildly and others more severely.

So as long as obsessive-compulsive disorder does not affect your life, it can be cured. You should seriously consider what I will tell you. These suggestions will be very painful when you first start doing them, and there will generally be a painful adjustment period of 3-6 months. After two or three weeks of following what I said above, you will notice changes in yourself. I suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder when I was 15 years old. The obsessive-compulsive disorder has tortured me for more than 20 years. My life was completely ruined and I was in so much pain that I relied on the above method to recover. I hope it can be helpful and useful to you. (The above is my personal effort to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, and also draws on and copies the treatment experience of some netizens.
