Books about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which we will call OCD books, are incomplete most of the time when trying to explain the facts about the condition that it attempts to educate people on. Usually this is because the writers have never even had an experience with OCD themselves, and so much information that could really help you is left out. It is never a good idea to go by what someone who doesn't fully understand something says, and is important to find someone who has. I have dealt with OCD personally, and I know what works, and what a waste of your time some things can be. I have information for you that may help!
The problem you may be dealing with is actually just a habit, and not a disease or illness. OCD books often tend to leave out this information because they want to help you face the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Your mind thinks that something bad will happen should you choose to ignore the habit, and over time this can really effect living your life to the full. You may have missed appointments, or left a project unfinished, simply because you are too busy and tired from trying to satisfy your mind! Don't worry! You can fix this with the right help!
Something important you should know is that hopping from source to source will not get you very far. Think about this when looking for information or OCD books. You should give enough time and effort towards whatever method you choose to learn about in order to give it a full chance to work. When you do jump from one source to another, you can easily become stressed out or confused, and it can become a big issue. If you do not put forth the devotion that one method requires, how will you ever know for sure that it would not work for you?
If you understand that patience is a big part of this, it will put you on the right track to making better choices. Your mind is a part of your body, and when something isn't right with how your body normally functions, it is trying to let you know that something is wrong. OCD books may not tell you to listen to your mind like this, but your thoughts are trying to tell you what your brain deems important. We often find ourselves dwelling on unpleasant thoughts, and when a ritual or any form of action seems to comfort the thought, this can become a real problem. You may find the action is taken a lot more than it normally would for someone else. Don't worry though! This will not last forever if you have the goal to prevent it from doing so!
It is very important to find someone you can get real information from who has experienced what you are going through. Your habits are not a result of an illness. Do not let books on OCD convince you of this! Stick with a program that you feel confident in, that provides the right information and the whole picture. Don't hop around and allow yourself to become stressed out! Your mind is simply trying to let you know that something isn't right, and you can fix it! Please enjoy the information I have for you below, because I think it will be very helpful if you are looking for more on OCD!
