Using An OCD Blog For Therapy

By Celia Hall


Dealing with obsessive compulsive disorder can be an uphill process. One part of the process in terms of therapy could be using an OCD blog to help. You could either write your own with personal issues based on personal experiences or spend time reading someone else's work on this topic.

Writing can be useful therapy to help you get your thoughts out for examination. In doing so, you separate yourself from what is happening and start to look at the issues as if you were outside the situation. Adding this therapy to your daily routine could be the start of creating your online site devoted to the topic.

You could use your writing as a tool to help others in a broader sense. You might offer research that you find online for other examples about the condition or to add information that might benefit others. Think of your writing as another avenue for people to learn more about themselves and the larger world of research and treatment.

What you write may not only be an inspiration to yourself but also to others once it is posted and available for a wider audience to see and consider. Helping others can benefit you if you are facing a time of depression. Sometimes just being able to make a difference in someone else's life could bring a change in your life as you gain a renewed purpose for your writing.

As you make progress with your posts, habits and mental health triggers in life may begin to emerge, which could be the start of a path toward better mental health for yourself. When you take yourself directly out of the situation and read back through your posts, you might learn more about yourself. This process of self-discovery could bring change and progress in treatment.

If you do not feel ready to write yet, then read other people's posts for inspiration and insight. Many people have taken to online writing to seek help in sorting out their own condition. Their personal therapy might contain nuggets of tips or tricks that could be beneficial or insightful in personal work toward better health.

As your audience grows if you are writing, you may be surprised at what your readers tell you about yourself in their comments to your online posts. They also may share comparisons to their own condition to give you even more to write about and consider as time goes on. This dialogue also can be a valuable part of strengthening your coping skills and could help you with your personal breakthroughs in managing your condition.

Writing an OCD blog could change your life with new ideas and inspiration. Take time to research what it takes to start a site of your own, or read other people's sites to gain ideas and examples to inspire your individual creativity in this process. After some time, you may find that your own path is much richer as you include an Internet audience in the journey.
