Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptom and Shame

In this obsessive compulsive disorder symptom and shame section, I will talk about the feelings and emotions many people with OCD experience on a regular basis. In particular, you will read about my own philosophic approach to them.

Many people with OCD are ashamed of this disorder. They do not want the rest of people to know that they are suffering from this condition. A person with OCD does not want to be perceived and labeled as a loser or a crazy person by the rest of this world. In fact, this person is so ashamed that he does not want to disclose even his first name when he shares his personal story with me.

I believe people who suffer from OCD should think of this condition in a different way. For one thing, no matter what your obsessive compulsive disorder symptom is, you are only a loser and a failure in life if you are not doing anything to improve your condition and your life situation in general.

Let me make it all clear. Let me also make one bald statement. Many people are losers and failures in life because they are not doing anything constructive to improve their lives. Think about it for one moment. If you are gathering information about something, it is only a prerequisite step to doing something constructive. If you, however, act on your gathered information, it means you have done something constructive to improve some area of your life. I am not just talking about your obsessive compulsive disorder because similar statements can be applied to all areas of your life that need improvement.

There are also very few people who end up doing the wrong things. This also leads to failure. Nevertheless, I do give credit to those people. You need to realize that there is one thing that is worse than failure. It is not doing anything at all! At least, these people are doing something. It might not be constructive. Nevertheless, some action at improving one’s life has been taken by them. Thus, be only ashamed of yourself if you have done nothing to change your situation for the better.

Also, you need to put everything in perspective. You need to realize one simple thing. Every person you see is engaged in some habit. His or her habit might vary in intensity. However, everybody is obsessed with something. Everybody has compulsion or obsession. People who are obsessed with food are usually obese. People who are obsessed with working out are fit. By the way, I believe there are no good obsessions no matter what “good” results they bring into one’s life. Sometimes, a person might not be even aware consciously that he or she has this obsession. With most people, however, one cannot even tell what his or her obsession is. Thus, feel better about yourself because you are not alone with your obsessions or compulsions. Obsessions and compulsions are universal.

If you are having obsessive compulsive disorder's symptom, then you should do things to reduce the occurence of it or to eliminate it completely. There is no reason to suffer continuously. Life is too short anyway to experience massive pain. How do you deal with OCD effectively?
