Do you fear that you are going to be abducted by aliens?
Do you perform rituals so that will not happen?
If you do, you have OCD. There is a cure so don’t worry. However you’ve got a little work ahead of you. Don’t let that sway you from seeking the help that you need to overcome it.
Sometimes we may feel that we are the only one that suffers from the type of OCD that we suffer from, but that’s not true.
You would be surprised at how many people suffer from the exact same OCD type as you do. What you can do to be different and unique is to be one of the few of those that actually seek a cure for it and become OCD free. That is the best thing that you can do for yourself at this point.
Rest assured that you will not be kidnapped by aliens. I know that this topic is laughable to most people, but not to you, it’s a genuine fear that you have, but realize this, it is just that, a fear. You don’t want to fear fear itself now do you?
Sometimes what we need to do is change course in our lives. If we see ourselves heading for a waterfall and you are if you have OCD, it’s time to turn the boat in the opposite direction.
How can you do this?
You can do this by simply stop performing rituals, which will stop the boat, then you can face your fear and see that the bad thing you thought was going to happen didn’t happen as a result of you doing rituals or not.
Once you show your brain that even when you didn’t perform the ritual and you still didn’t get kidnapped by aliens you have nothing to worry about anymore. Your brain will see that rituals have nothing to do with getting kidnapped by aliens and the fear will subside and say out loud your fear and you will see how ridiculous this notion is. Even though you know it’s ridiculous, sometimes you’ve got to say it out loud for your brain to really get it.
