How to cure anxiety disorder OCD and not recur?In the end, it's just three words
I went to a friend's dormitory, and I felt that this friend's residence was a little dirty, and I said a few words to him. The friend joked, "You have to learn to adapt and live with bacteria." If they can coexist, they are beneficial bacteria, so there is no need to be afraid. ”
Hahaha, everyone laughed like that. But although it is a joke, there is some truth to it when you think about it.
I was like, "You're joking, but you have a point." For example, we know that each of us is going to die. But death is not a problem, we don't need to solve it, we just have to live with it. ”
Another friend said, "Then I can't stand it." Like me, it's hard to go a day without a shower. How can people stand all those bacteria piled up every day?”
I said, "Actually, people are much more adaptable than you think. When I used to ride **, I wouldn't take a shower for half a month (anti-high-reverse), and I was sweating all day long. But it's coming, you say people can't stand it?Also, it is said that Tibetans only take baths three times in their lives, how do you say they got here?”
Of course, I'm not here to preach that people don't pay attention to hygiene and don't go to the shower. It's just that people are much more adaptable than we think. Especially for our obsessive-compulsive friends, don't deliberately set limits on yourself, thinking that people should be how they should be, and don't use them.
The book "Overcoming Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" says: "Man has been able to survive hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and we have already exercised strong adaptability in the evolution of various cruel environments." "Once we learn to trust our instincts, you'll find out – that's exactly what it is.
Hearing this, everyone must have thought that this was a family tragedy. As a result, when he lifted the quilt, he found that it was his daughter-in-law who was turning on her mobile phone. It turned out that his daughter-in-law had adapted to his snoring, and she couldn't sleep without this sound. So he recorded his snoring and used it as a sleep aid.
This is a typical manifestation of human adaptability. If I were to listen to the snoring, I would definitely not be able to sleep for a while. I'm sure most people do. But once you get used to the sound, that sound becomes a background sound, or even a sleep aid"**This is not like what the friend at the top said - when you get used to bacteria, bacteria become beneficial bacteriaAlthough he was telling jokes, there was some truth to it.
Do you know the difference between OCD and non-OCD?In the book "Overcoming Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder", it is said that the biggest difference between them is not the symptoms, but the attitude towards them. That is, one that doesn't matter, treats it as a normal thing, and lets it flow naturally through one's body. And the other treats it as something it shouldn't do, tries to stop or destroy it, and then keeps pestering it.
Of course, it is not right to say that it is an attitude, it should be said that it is an adaptive ability, just like the bacteria mentioned above. One is adaptable, and the other is not. At the heart of this resilience is the three words we often say: "equanimity". If you know this, you will know why we should practice Anapana more.
Finally, I recommend friends who are anxious and compulsive to read two books, "Overcoming Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" and "Emotional Self-Help", and continue to practice the methods in the book, I believe that you will be able to get out of anxiety and compulsion quickly.
