Check out the following ideas below on how to stop ocd, and see if you can use them to improve your condition at the moment.

1)      Allowing the uncertainty

Like any anxiety disorder uncertainty plays a Hugh role in keeping the condition going. The avoidance of this uncertainty compels you to keep checking and keeps you taking part in rituals and compulsions. One of the ways around this is to simply take on more uncertainty about whatever thought is in your head at the moment. At first it will feel very uncomfortable and then the level of anxiety can move down.

2)      Looking back for the root cause

It's possible that you know the origin of your ocd, or its equally possible that you have no idea why you behave this way and carry out your compulsions. Asking yourself what the origin of your emotional pain is can give you a valuable insight into what caused the problem. If you close your eyes and do this you may get a flash of what happened in the past that caused you to behave like this at the moment. When you know where the emotion came from it can really help in accepting the discomfort in the present moment.

3)      Tapping for relief

After something painful happens to us it can leave our nervous system traumatised and overreacting to thoughts in our mind. If you suffer with ocd the chances are that you overreacting to thoughts of uncertainty in your mind that would probably float by in the mind of another person. EFT can be really powerful tool when it comes to stopping this problem and is worth checking out. Look up the points you need to tap on the net and start to tap on those points while you are thinking about whatever is bothering you. You should find the discomfort level moving down after a while.
