WOW! I could not believe all the anxiety I laid on myself how double minded I have been unstable in all my ways for the past few weeks what mental melancholy and worry and ruminating for days on in and praying compulsively exhausting why? He heard me the first time! Was trying to make a decision on meds in my treatment because they cause me more anxiety when I did use them and hooray finally made a choice WOW! so much pressure was lifted off my life when I did so much worry.

Really got hit hard with this last round of OCD. Even becoming debilitating. I have had a few rough bout’s with OCD and even discovering more how it has effected me since I was 6. I was and am a pretty sensitive person and events and people’s words and actions seem to effect me a lot deeper than it does my wife or other people I have met, as if OCD has been a bigger part of my reality than I ever even knew.
But the past OCD bout’s I don’t believe I understood as well how this is not a spiritual problem at all but rather Mind and Body issue. Let go and let God do His thing but I have a problem with my thinking and separating “My Feelings” and “Emotions” away from my thoughts.
What is so crazy is how hard this is for me to do. As if “My Reality” thoughts and feelings are all completely lying to me and I have to start agreeing with the Negative thoughts in order for them to loose their power.
Just as a word of advice the first time I went through this I tried to pray and scripture read my way out of this and it only fueled and worsened my situation. I didn’t know I had OCD at the time but it took two years before I broke under the weight of moral correctness, perfectionism, and spiritualism. Be still and know I am God. Eventually became the only verse I focused on. It took some time but I got back to normal life.
My 13 year went through the treatment for Testicular cancer this year. We powered through as a family through surgeries, chemo and treatment. I was litteraly lowering my meds and did quit them. My son got the all clear report in January. A few weeks later we were watching church and I was hit with a dump truck of anxiety that hit level 10 for hours. And lasted for a few more days. Then depression feel in with random anxiety attacks. Everywhere I looked was cause for danger.
The Depression and anxiety have definitely dropped but the“fearfull” thoughts are overwhelming at times. Back on my meds but this has sure been a rough bout. Plus several stressors in the family that I am practicing letting go of and “Just agreeing with the Crazy thoughts.”
Wow. Thanks for posting that. It was so mellow and informative, that I think my son, who doesn't want to deal with any help, might be willing to listen to this guy.Candice
Thanks Candice, I just came across this gentlemen’s videos and watched several others. He does a very good job of explaining the thoughts and emotions in a “Role Playing” effect that has been very beneficial to me. Best wishes to you and your son.
