I have OCD. My help and healing are from my religion. I believe God has forgiven all my sins through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He has given me new life and peace that surpasses understanding. He puts everything in perspective and further heals my mind every day. Without Him (and the loving, steadfast, forgiving community that comes with Him) I’d be utterly lost. Besides turning to God for everlasting peace and joy, here are two practical things that calm the mind: running and breathing meditation (which can be seen as a form of contemplative — as opposed to verbal — prayer). Also, avoiding caffeine has helped.
