Hi,

Ive recently been diagnosed with Pure O and I am relieved but a little scared. Can anyone else relate to this???

Yep, I was diagnosed with it 4 years ago now. Time flies, doesn't seem like so long ago.

It was a relief to me too when I found out what it was and that I had it.

All of those crazy bullshit thoughts and ideas.... They weren't random or meaningful, they were just part of an anxiety condition.

I could finally breathe a small sigh of relief.

How did you deal with it? Im so depressed and have you overcome it?

What type do you have?

If I was to sum up quickly how I got better, it would be using the following methods;

- Increasing general relaxation level, increasing mood.

- Desensitizing to fear (ie I was gonna hurt someone)

- Complete acceptance, and refusal to engage in any of the pure-O thought processes regardless of how much I needed evidence, or how bad my anxiety got. To draw them all out to illogical, laughable, exaggerated conclusions.
