The first thing that anyone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder should do is properly identify what's going on.

You see, the biggest problem with OCD and anxiety is that when the person who experiences it starts to feel it coming on, they react in fear instead of faith. You need to realize that the only thing that separates someone who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and someone who does not is how they react to their thoughts and fears.

If you feel the anxiety come on you as you feel like you have to do rituals, notice that this is just anxiety from OCD. You need to have a name for what is going on. The fear that a lot of people have is that they don't know what's wrong, they just know that something is wrong. Knowing what that something is is half the battle. If you can properly identify when you are having anxiety over doing a ritual then you will be well on your way to getting better.

One of the things that people who have beaten OCD have in common is the fact that they have changed the way that they react to their anxiety. They realize that it is just anxiety and OCD and that it can't hurt them. This is the first thing that you need to learn and implement as you start your journey to becoming OCD free. If you can understand and identify when you are having anxiety and an OCD thought, you can get rid of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!

What is it then that you should do right now? How can you use this information? You need to realize that even though there are so many methods on how to deal with OCD or how to get rid of it, if you don't apply any of it, it is just useless information! So now that you have the new information, you need to just do it. Here is an example: Bob just finds out that he is having a hard time with his ritual of touching the door knob obsessively. He looks at the door knob and he feels like he has to touch it because if he doesn't, he will go to hell.

He then thinks to himself, "this is an OCD thought!" I don't have to panic at this thought and I don't have to worry about it. He then thinks about how ridiculous he would sound if he told his friends his fear and realizes that maybe it is silly, so he says it out loud to himself and kinda chuckles..."I am afraid that if I don't touch the door knob seven times that i will go to hell." He thinks, wow, that is absurd!

He realizes that by saying it out loud, the information is being processed by a different part of the brain which when it analyzes it tells the other part of the brain the processed it first, "this is a silly fear!" This is like using peer pressure in your own brain to help teach you that this is not something to fear, but to laugh at!
