Win Over Your Panic AttacksWin Over Your Panic Attacks If you always come across being engaged in repetitive checks and re-checks on your door locks . Regularly worry about LPG or water supply turned off in a bit awkwardly fashion which your heart knows is not normal. ‘This’ is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Why my compulsive thoughts could be a possible disorder? The logic is very simple. However irrational you might find your thoughts and behaviors, you want to stick around them. You are about to board the cab taking you to airport.Though you are pressed for time, you run back twice just to hold your door lock to make sure it is locked. This was awkward but you felt better only after you did that. Similarly OCD negatively affects a person’s normal life. Half the time you love to be indulging in stubborn routines you create to soothe a part of you seeking a reassurance and at the same time threatening your existence if you don’t succumb. Who are prone to develop OCD? Three categories of people might develop OCD : Whimsy , Perfectionists , Sick. Whimsy people take a fancy to an idea e.g hygiene and go to any extent to stay clear of any situation where they have failed themselves against any possibility of contracting a disease, a situation as grim as bankruptcy and who knows what else. This is called whim. Perfectionists have their own standards- that perfect tune, right shade in scarf, correct quantity of milk in tea. Practice makes a person connoisseur but if you become a pain, it is OCD. Sick people fall in the trap of OCD while they safeguard some of their secret kept fears, control surroundings to evade bad memories.Actually,they are fighting depression, stress or ennerving panic attacks, or all. In OCD, obsessions are tagged along with compulsions- an infatuation with performing repeated tasks.
