Hi there! I was a latecomer to the OCD experience. I acquired it at the age of 19 and it progressively got worse until I decided to take some action. I am currently 25 and I have mitigated the aversive effects to the point where it is more manageable and tolerable.
Here are some tips that I have found have worked:
Prescription drugs made me feel drowsed and "drugged", I tried taking them but I found they diminished clarity of mind.
Paying attention to diet definitely helped. I found decreasing or even eliminating certain food had an enormous benefit. Foods to avoid are Sugar (accept naturally occuring ones in fruit, honey, maple syrup), meat and bread, along with packaged foods and junk food. Consider eating more fruits, vegetables and nuts.
I found that yoga and meditation really helped for me, to quiet and lessen all the mind chatter. Exercise is also a big plus.

Hopefully I was of any help. I know its a real bitch sometimes, having OCD. I wish you complete freedom from this distortion of mind.

hi,

i've had obsessive compulsive disorder for the last 14 years or so. i was suffering from uncontrollable obsessive and compulsive thoughts.

it probably started when i was 16, 17 years old, around this time. by the time i was 18 i was trapped in hell and couldn't participate in normal life anymore. or so i felt. i stopped going to school. my parents freaked out totally. visits to psychologists, psychotherapists, stays at psycho-clinics followed. everything to no avail. up to that point the OCD hasn't been diognosed yet. different psycho-experts were saying different things, like: borderline-syndrome, reluctance to participate in daily activities, panic attacks. it was all sort of true but did not describe the real problem. that changed when my father found a private clinic which seemed to specialize in treating my kind of problems when i was 21. there they saw the problem right away: obsessive compulsive disorder. as with every OCD the underlying problem was fear. in my case social fear. means: fear of people. fear of being rejected, judged, looked upon by other people. what they taught me was of unique value for me. they taught me to handle the obsessive thoughts and so the fear in a way that they would no longer control me but me them. what and how they did that is a unique and the ONLY method to treat OCD successfully (seen from the behavioral perspective). from then on i was again able to fully participate in life. i went back to school, after school attended university, was working. i was "functioning" as i was supposed to.

but i couldn't say that after the private clinic i was cured. it was not so. i learned to handle the OCD in the right way. i learned to deal with it. and with time the obsessive thoughts became less controlling, less paralysing. they were still there, but i didn't fear them anymore. and with every year that passed and that i continued to live my life they became less and less pronounced.

but something remained. some kind of sadness. or melancholy. an inability to fully enjoy life. i often got asked by people: "are you sad?" or "are you angry?" and could never understand what they were talking about. it was so normal for me - this kind of light feeling of sadness or depression. for me it was the remnants of the OCD, but since i had been living with it for so long, it became normal for me. i wasn't conscious of it anymore.

then, ca. 1 year ago i accidentally came across dr. william douglass' "hydrogen peroxide. medical miracle" in which he describes the universal healing power of hydrogen peroxide (h2o2). from then on i started taking h2o2 baths. then moved to italy and since i didn't have a bath tub at hand started to drink the h2o2 in diluted form. since i didn't have the book by me anymore i confused the concentraions and messed up my stomach. so i started to sniff it.

that's when i hit the jackpot.

i wasn't aware of it at the time, though. i remember the first time i put some drops in my nose and sniffed them up vigorously as dr. douglass recommends, i thought that i got kicked by a horse. there was a moment of mental and visual clearity. and that stuff BURNED!! hell, did it BURN!! from then on i always diluted it to 1 or 1,5%, although it still burns, every time, but not so viciously anymore. the mental clearity always lingered on for some time, 2 maybe 3 hours, after which i repeated the procedure. then, after 2 or 3 weeks of regular sniffing i became aware of an inner tranquility. a positive attitude. positive thoughts. a serenity. really cool. but back then i attributed it more to my newly positive finacial and working situation. but since my working situation has rather messed up since then the feeling of tranquility, and serenity is still there. it has become even stronger ever since.

maybe 1 month into h2o2 sniffing i discovered urinetherapy and that's when the things became really intergalactic.

i mean i just see love everywhere. yo, guys, don't laugh, but it's true. when i lie in my bed before i go to sleep, and think about the people i know, i got to know, things that happened, i just feel LOOOVE. it's so spaced out. me, having ever had fear of people? it's a joke, right?! i just lie there and KNOW that things will turn out for the good. it's so cool.

as i have found out through my research this feeling is usually associated with urinotherapy. ancient indian scriptures which speak of shivambu (indian for UT) mention this feeling of enlightment, being closer to god, being united with the universe - stuff like that. i've never really taken these things seriously - untill they hit me right in the face!

and it REALLY is the combination of those 2 things - the h2o2 and the urine, because whenever i discontinue the sniffing (it's not the most pleasant thing to do, it burns every time. but it's worth it.), i still feel the positive attitude and stuff from the pee but it is not sooo strong. and whenever i start to sniff again, it comes back again.

so, i am sure, that at least 1 cause of my OCD was a biological one. in the sense that there must have been present some candida, or yeast or fugus or viral infection or all of it in my body. h2o2 is known to have antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. the same with urine (check out the urine-forum. in one of the blogs i placed links to some interesting sites about it.). i have been a chocalate junkie all my life, and we already know that Sugar is a main contributor to candida problems. i also had the usual drug history: regular use of painkillers (paracetamol), Antibiotics , aspirin - all contributors or creators of candida, yeast, fungi.

so i would STRONGLY recommend those two things to anybody with OCD or depression.
it has changed my life.
i feel like i am 12 again.

rasta and peace

I remember myself suffering from OCD since I was 14 (now I am 27), but I think it started earlier, I just didn't understand that yet. It was quite a hard experience for me as I didn't know about this disorder at all, so I was thinking I was just going crazy day by day. I didn't tell anyone about my condition and my fears, so it was a huge everyday stress that was making my OCD only harder. After some years I've got to know about OCD from some movie on TV and I told my boyfriend that I have the same thing. I was so relieved by telling someone about my rituals and other things and by knowing that I am not the only one in this word with this disorder and it even has a name. So I started to treat it with doctors and without them, I've tried a lot of methods and I am happy to say that now I feel free from OCD. There appear some symptoms when I get stressed or tired but they are very easy to cope! As I was struggling with OCD for many years and I know how hard it can be, I feel all the people with OCD as my sisters and brothers, so I really wanted to be helpful and decided to write a guide of self-help for people with OCD and also for their relatives/friends. Here is the link for this guide: https://www.solutionbay.com/solutions/obsessivecompulsive-disorder-ocd. I really need your feedback, so I will know if it's helpful or if I need to change something. I really hope that it will help some of you as I tried almost all of the methods described in the guide on myself and finally, they worked somehow. I hug you all and wait for your comments! Thank you!
