Article: If you've stopped seeing your therapist or you've never seen one, now is a good time to get into therapy. Tell your therapist that you struggle with OCD and relapsed recently. Work toward preventing future relapses by learning skills to manage and cope with OCD symptoms. Work with the therapist to identify specific triggers so that you can avoid additional problems in the future. The best type of therapy is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is also known as "Talk Therapy". Other types of therapy to help out with your relapse of OCD include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a type of CBT. ERP involves progressive exposure of the object or situation that is leading to the relapse, and how to best cope with your anxiety about the obsession. It's okay to ask friends and family for help and support. Share your experience with someone who cares about you and is willing to listen and support you. Even when you would rather isolate yourself, make an effort to make plans with friends, spend time with family, and maintain an active social life. By isolating yourself, you increase your risk of experiencing anxiety and OCD. Surround yourself with people who care about you. A support group is a great place to meet other people who struggle with anxiety and OCD symptoms. You can share your experiences, give and receive advice, share recommendations, gain a sense of community, and make new friends. Consider joining a self-help group, support group, or group therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety and OCD. If you do not have a group near you in your community, join an online support group. For more information, check out How to Join an Anxiety Disorder Support Group. You may relapse with OCD if you feel better and decide to stop taking your medications. You feel like you are "cured" or that your OCD was just a "phase." Unfortunately, OCD is a chronic condition that must be treated and prevented. It is possible to manage OCD effectively, yet there is no "cure" for OCD. OCD is often treated with a combination of therapy and medication. Keep up with all treatment to stay on top of your symptoms and stay in control of your life. Medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of OCD are antidepressants. These include the following medications: Clomipramine, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine, and Sertraline. Never stop antidepressant medication without the approval of your doctor because there are serious side effects that can result, which is sometimes called discontinuation syndrome. Medication is rarely effective by itself. It is most effective when combined with therapy.

Article: Push your trash can over and let the soil and potatoes come tumbling out. Collect the potatoes in a bin or box for storage later. To minimize the mess, you might want to place a tarp over the area where you're dumping the trash can. Potatoes stay best when stored at about 40F (22C). The storage location should be dry and well-ventilated. Don't store your potatoes more than 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20cm) high or they might bruise. Check your stored potatoes regularly and remove any that are rotten.
