Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
In 2001 I read " Brain Lock" by Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D. and implemented "The four R's" : Relabel, Reattribute, Refocus, Revalue". That got rid of my few irrational obsessions. So now I'm just a germophobe (for rational reasons!) who opens public doors with my dirty (left) hand and grabs public restroom door handles with a paper towel! With the 4 Rs you literally "re-wire" your brain to be normal/rational. All my germophobe/clean hands stuff all relates to eating and not getting a cold. :)
Close Depression
Used to have OCD symptoms- I am just joining the group so I can respond to a specific post relating to OCD in this forum.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
Open Food Allergies
Type of allergy: Other FoodsAllergic to hydrogenated oil (transfats). I figured this out at the age of 24 after eating oreos and instant hot chocolate and wondering why I had "intestine problems" my whole life. I've discovered that I'm also allergic to potatoes & carrots; and onions & apples that are not organic (the pesticides?). The only rice that I can eat is Texmati brand rice- not labelled organic, but it is grown in the USA (so who knows what is in the rice that comes from asia)? Wheat also causes me problems.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I avoid deep fryed foods (unless it is the new non-trans fat grease), I avoid any item that lists "Hydrogenated" anything in the ingredients. I avoid all nuts, wheat pasta, potatoes, carrots and onions that aren't organic. DO NOT eat hydrogenated anything - even if you can tolerate it- researchers think is causes cancer and diabetes because transfat is the only substance we consume that does not naturally occur in nature. Saturated fat is better for you because your body can break it down!
Open Sex / Pornography Addiction
As a lonely 13 year old nerd with no friends and unloving parent I ran across a playboy. That began the habit of using that particular addiciton as an escape from my bummer reality. All addictions are a mental escape from a reality you are no content with. Porn ties to loneliness and depression and then increases both.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Human male: Work in progress. PRAYER works because being accountable to God and not wanting to distgust him (since the holy spirit is IN you, as a Christian) works. If you are only accountable to yourself using willpower you will have lapses because "what's wrong with that anyway? ... sexual desire is normal" etc. Just get rid of the images and use no images. That is the first step. Just do it! Prayer works! Side effects: freedom, peace, joy.
