I left off with OCD. Before I go any further, a few things to mention. I recently spoke with a person close to me, who suffers from Severe OCD. In her case, it is a chemical inbalance and needs to be treated. I would imagine the same thing goes for depression. Always seek help. To a certain point, it is mind over matter. However, some of us are chemically imbalanced and that needs to be addressed. You may need the extra medical help, and that's ok.
In my case.....
It was temporary as well. About a year of suffering from compulsive, paranoid behavior. I believe that it was induced by severe trauma and stress. It's as if my mind broke one day and allowed the OCD to seep through. Once I started to get control of my mind, body and soul, these behaviours disapeared as fast as they appeared.
I'm not a psychiatrist and I didn't recieve help for my issues. It was a journey of self discovery and self diagnosis. I don't expect everyone to be able to handle their problems the same way that I did.
I read a lot, and I faced my demons on my own. If you aren't strong enough to do this, please seek help!
Over the years, I have experienced brief glimpses of many serious disorders. I have always, somehow gained control. I'm too stubborn to get off of my destined path in life.
However, I'm not perfect. Hell, it would be rediculous to claim that I'm completely healed from my past, when I'm not.
I likely have an eating disorder....Binge eating.
I have a difficult time balancing a normal diet because of my impulse to gorge at times. At other times, I will eat very little and it becomes a continuous circle of Eat>Don't Eat>Gorge>Don't Eat>Eat.
But hey, who doesn't have issues?! You just have to keep moving forward, keep fighting. Seek help when needed. Talk about it! Don't be ashamed of who you are, be proud instead.
I'm always here if anyone needs someone to talk to...
I wish you all well,
Cheers
Sig.
