Question

Answer 1

To over come an obsession, you must first realize that you are only hurting yourself. Once you realize this, focus your thoughts on something you enjoy doing. It helps. Good luck.

Answer 2

Do you have a Zahir? One obsession? Or do you get obsessed with everything, over-analyzing everything? I do that sometimes. It takes a bit of self-control to control your irrational side, but it can be done. The very next time you feel that part of you take over, DON'T LET IT. You can do this. You have more power than your obsessions. Just tell yourself, "not this time. I am going to feel lightly about this. I will play it off, and I will agree that it's better that way."

It's all about being happy and light in spirit. You will feel this if you succeed!

I don't know if that made any sense haha, it's very hard to explain. But if I can do it, you can too. And if you practice it often, you will become a more relaxed person, and you'll be able to see new things in life that you couldn't have seen before.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.

OCD can be treated with Behavioral therapy (BT), Cognitive therapy (CT), medications, or any combination of the three. Psychotherapy can also help in some cases, while not one of the leading treatments. According to the Expert Consensus Guidelines for the Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 1995, Vol. 54, supplement 4), the treatment of choice for most OCD is behavior therapy or cognitive behavior therapy.

The specific technique used in BT/CBT is called Exposure and Ritual Prevention (also known as Exposure and Response Prevention) or ERP; this involves gradually learning to tolerate the anxiety associated with not performing the ritual behavior. At first, for example, someone might touch something only very mildly "contaminated" (such as a tissue that has been touched by another tissue that has been touched by the end of a toothpick that has touched a book that came from a "contaminated" location, such as a school.) That is the "exposure." The "ritual prevention" is not washing. Another example might be leaving the house and checking the lock only once (exposure) without going back and checking again (ritual prevention). The person fairly quickly habituates to the (formerly) anxiety-producing situation and discovers that their anxiety level has dropped considerably; they can then progress to touching something more "contaminated" or not checking the lock at all — again, without performing the ritual behavior of washing or checking.

Answer 4

If you are obsessive, you have to try to get your mind out of the loop that keeps telling you to do things. For instance, if your obsession is with washing hands, you make some rules for washing hands, like, (a) after toilet, (b) before eating or cooking, (c) when finished doing dirty work like emptying garbage or repairing things or gardening; then tell yourself, once washed is washed. Routine of wash, towel dry. Then leave the room. You could use very fragrant hand cleaner so that if you aren't sure, smell your hands....

Obsessions are difficult, and are usually tied into anxiety. Deep rooted obsessions really need medical help. But first, do try to break the mental cycle yourself.
