OCD
Superstitious
One of the symptoms of over
compulsive disorder is the superstitious
obsessions. These obsessions can just about
push a patient over the edge which is quite
understandable because their fears, compulsions
and obtrusive thoughts cause so much havoc in
their lives. One of the symptoms of OCD aside
from fear of contamination is the
superstitious
obsession
which takes control and interferes with a
patients way of thinking, Because each
individual differs in how they cope with their
illness and how they manage their symptoms is
more the reason why you should talk to your
doctor of any medical concerns relating to
obsessive compulsive
disorder.
In some
cases speaking to others who are going through
and experiencing the same OCD symptoms or to
people who know about the disease/disorder is
great a help i.e. a form of therapy. Finding
someone who understands why you do what you do
will give you peace of mind.
Obsessive
thoughts may involve superstitious beliefs that
certain numbers or colours are unlucky. Because
of this the patient and the non sufferer get to
suffer, meaning, that specific items because of
colour have to be placed in designated areas of
the home or discarded.
Some
patients with superstitious symptoms may have
their own original set of superstitious traits
and compulsions involving just about anything
along with exaggerated concerns and behaviours
involving more commonly known superstitious
practices. If you believe you have a problem
with habitual movements relating to colour and
numbers then nip it in the bud and speak to
your doctor.
Talking to
someone is the best way to help ease pressures
which cause stress and anxiety. There are
people out there who can help you with your
superstitious obsessions
No matter
the condition or ailment you must never use
another persons medication - or go off their
advice as this can be very dangerous indeed.
The only person you should listen too or take
advice from is either your doctor or another
expert in the field of medical matters. This is
the most vital of safety precautions a person
suffering from an illness can take to ensure
that they are recieving the right treatment to
treat a particular cause.
Don`t let
OCD dominate the way you live your life
because it can which is unfortunate because you
have a life to live. If you want to get back to
normal doing the things you enjoy then seek
medical help. A person suffering from OCD is
not the only person who suffers - close friends
and family also . Time to stop the suffering
and time to get help.
