It was about five years ago when my significant other began to express what I considered the most bizarre behavior. It started with flicking on and off the light switch. Before she would leave a room, she had to flick it off, and then on at least once. I would ask her why she was doing this and she’d just laugh and say something like, “I was just checking how bright the lights were in the corner.” And I didn’t really think much of it. At the time, I had no idea that the beginnings of this behavior would start my quest to find her an OCD cure, while simultaneously finding relief for my anxiety.
Not long after, she would start flicking the lights on and off more than once before she left or entered a room. She would flick them on and off in a quantity that was an even number(although it took me months to realize the significance of even numbers for her).
Then she moved on on hand washing. After everything she touched she would wash her hands (with dish soap of all things!). Then it moved outside of the house. She began going to the same grocery store every day whether she needed to or not. She had to park in the same spot, she had to walk down the same isles, and she had to buy the same things(soap and paper towels), every day even if she didn’t really need them. She was more or less spending huge amounts of money unnecessarily every day to placate her obsessions. Finding an OCD cure was out of the question for her, she was quite satisfied with her routine and I was afraid to stand in her way.
She claimed that if she didn’t do exactly these things in the right order, something terrible would happen. She didn’t know exactly what, but her gut instinct told her something would definitely happen. I thought, “Oh great, this is a house full of nuts! I’ve got my anxiety and she’s got her OCD.”
The OCD Cure:
Fast-forward a few years, I had discovered the ultimate resource for anxiety sufferers and was doing pretty good at ending my anxiety. The author had had a pretty nasty history of OCD himself, so I was pretty sure some of the same principles must apply. Sure enough, my significant other began to apply the same methods that I was using to treat my anxiety, and she found her own OCD cure. To this day, we are both anxiety free.
The cure had to do more or less with changing the way we perceive our reality. Our negative thoughts are learned. Positive thoughts can also be learned. All it takes is the right methods and the core of all your thoughts can be set to point to a worry-free existence. It just takes the right resources, and committment to using these resources.
