OCD And Anxiety

Believe it or not anxiety is a big problem when you have OCD because it can come up at anytime. It really doesn't matter what is going on at the time. Usually people with ocd and anxiety have ideas and thoughts that keep coming to them that they cannot get out of their heads.

When someone is thinking about ocd and anxiety it usually is about some type of risk or harm that may come to them or to someone else. Most treatments will mean that a person will have to be put on drugs that can include antidepressants or some form of exposure therapy.

According to statistics about 95% of people with ocd and anxiety have a tendency to go through some type of ritual. This seems to be true because I have this problem and many of my friends do too. We talk about it all the time. One of my rituals was to check the doors to make sure they were locked when I left. I wasn’t satisfied until I had checked them at leave 8 times.

My boyfriend used to get really upset with me because I couldn't turn away from this pattern until it was complete. I know how frustrating that can be for people so I decided to do something about it for my self. My problem began to subside I started to use my own techniques.
