A Quick Look At The Benefits Of OCD Blog

By Leslie Mitchell


A nineteen seventy three hit movie, the Exorcist, explores the problems a mother goes through as she tries to free her daughter from demonic oppression with the help of a Roman catholic priest. The concept of demonic possession was particularly common in eighteenth century Europe. For many people, the idea remains confined to the four walls of a movie theater, but for individuals suffering from the obsessive compulsive disorder, an OCD blog may be the way to go.

These provide an opportunity for a writer to express themselves. This is one way of removing burdens from a person's spirit, and making them feel whole again. For a person struggling to cope with thought and behavior patterns that come with obsessive compulsive disorder, this is extremely important.

Social media helps create some sort of online support groups, a critical tool in managing many conditions. These provide an emotional connection with other people trying to cope with the same challenges. They help people avoid loneliness, and boost feelings of well being. Dealing with people going through the same problems removes stigma; one realizes they are not alone.

A common phrase talks of sticking out like a sore thumb; people with this disorder may feel like that. They may even get the impression that they are off their rocker. Meeting people going through the same thing, even in the virtual environment of social media gives a massive jolt to the ego. This is a particularly potent weapon against depression, the bane of virtually anyone suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder.

These groups help members develop and maintain coping skills. As people share their experiences, everyone grows in knowledge; one member will recount their experiences in using a certain drug or procedure, and others will learn from that. Some will tell of a new method they are using to deal with the condition, and how well that is working. As people brainstorm, more ideas will bubble up.

A famous novelist commented that for one to communicate effectively, they have to read and write a lot. Writing makes one not only a better communicator, but also a better reader. One not only learns from books and websites, but also from the experiences of others. People don't just share problems, but solutions as well. With online media, such solutions are available instantly to millions of people.

Keeping the body fit will require a great deal of exercise; keeping the brain fit requires reading, researching, thinking and creating some sort of output, such as writing. This also helps the memory improve. There is also the side effect; looking more intelligent at cocktail parties. The process also hones a person's creativity, and generally encourages out the box thinking.

The process of writing, getting comments, replying to them and so on creates a loop of that improves one's focus. One is able to tap into a global perspective of things; it also improves the writers ability to communicate with a wider and culturally varied audience. The process of keeping an OCD blog only works if the writer is willing to listen and learn from others.
