How OCD can be the BEST disorder to have
“When you say ‘control freak’ and ‘OCD’ and ‘organized,’ that suggests someone who’s cold in nature, and I’m just not.
Like, I’m really open when it comes to letting people in.
But I just like my house to be neat, and I don’t like to make big messes that would hurt people”.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is an anxiety based disorder.
In this video I discuss how OCD can impact your life and how it’s possible to take back control and make OCD work for you. OCD is manageable but not always easy or simple. You will need help and guidance in learning how to manage and control it.
If you struggle with Religious OCD, please check out my minibook that explains what Religious OCD is and includes some tips to start using today. In this PDF guide, I share my thoughts on Medication, natural supplements, and various exercises for treating OCD. It’s definitely not the only solution but it’s a starting place. The focus is mostly on religious OCD but the treatment is the same for all OCD.

I wonder if you might be able to speak to link between ocd and autism or autism spectrum, and in general the autism spectrum and anxiety related disorders eg anorexia nervosa, ocd, adhd, socual anxiety…. It had taken me many years to realise ( partly because the medical community only have now just started realising that there is such a thing as adult female autism) that i may have autistic traits, be high functioning and also suffer with religious ocd…. The fact ocd might not be a stand alone disorder but something which manifests secondary to anxiety coping mechanisms for the autism spectrum individual really really makes so much sense me and also makes me feel like less of a failure and allows me to say no, this is happening because of the way that I have been built and one can get through this, and that others may be reading this can realise that they can get through this and put in the coping mechanisms to help with the anxiety in light of the background of autism spectrum, and may be insha Allah overcome their OCD and let it be nothing but slow babbling brook rather than an overwhelming self destructive waterfall.
I would recommend audience reading the science papers on this and looking at the studies carried out by one chap in UCL, London / UK.
But i would to read for Dr Nafisa to maybe cover an article on this.
I would love to get some help or share my own experiences which i still suffer with.
