one with nature

try meditating. I made a post about that. Just sit in your bed at night, and breathe deep a few times. Then relax and just let it be. allow you thoughts to flow, and don't "try" to stop anything from happening. Just let everything happen. If you have a great urge to perform some ritual, just relax and let that thought flow through you. Don't react to it, and as soon as you feel the anxiety coming, relax even more and kill the anxiety. feel comfortable being in the here and now. don't "try" to feel comfortable, just feel it. I don't have OCD that bad, but I stil have it, and meditating helps a ton. The more you worry about your OCD, the worse it gets.

I have had symptoms of ocd, along with the anxiety and paranoia that goes along with it, for at least seven years now. I'm not too woried about that, but there is one thing that worries me. I sometimes experience a mild loss of balance, along with mildly disorganized speech. I might be talking and suddenly I might halt in mid sentence, and have trouble remembering what I was talking about. I space out a lot, which I heard is pretty normal with OCD. I used to ride the bus to school, and many times, when the bus stopped, I would get this feeling that it was moving backwards. I have had visual distortions at times similar to the ones caused by HPPD ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_...eption_disorder ), except nowhere near as bad. I have not consumed drugs to cause this to happen. This has happened to me way before I ever used marijuana. I just want to know if these symptoms can be caused by OCD. Thx.

I have ocd (mainly just obsessive thoughts, along with having to check on things, and lots of tics. also anxiety and paranoia. sometimes I have visual distortions), and I have figured out that by simply meditating you can relieve some of the anxiety from ocd. simply just sit down, and relax. just let everything be. don't think, but don't push thoughts out of your mind either. relax and let everything be as it is. after you have learned to calm your mind, you will understand your disorder a lot better. This works great if you are having a particularly distressing episode. Just relax and observe it. I'm pretty sure this will work for most people, since it is doing a good job for me. don't rely on medication, since it will cause you to have negative side effects.
