My OCD And Islam
@Sabibilal I had used some medications for long time as well. They helped to slightly take a little edge off of anxiety, but still with it, OCD phases used to come. What I realize is that whatever thing is dear to me, my OCD mind sometimes manoeuvres around it, and brings up points that suggest this thing to be Haram. The problem is that those thoughts feel very real, the evidence provided by those thoughts feel real. And simply ignoring didn’t work. Because at the back of mind it felt as if ignoring intellect and conscience. This is a tough time. During this time, patience is needed, reminding yourself that “i have OCD, and this maybe just an exaggeration of OCD phase” And trying to discuss and understand the topic. Later with time and discussion, when the topic clears, the peace comes too. But often another topic comes soon. I myself really don’t know what is the key solution to managing it fully. We just need to learn with our own experiences and errors. Because most of the psychiatrist, psychologist do not clearly understand OCD.
