Hello everyone, while I do not have compulsive disorders, I suffer from obsessive anxiety in general. It is frustrating, and medication is not an option for me. But I want to learn some ways people counter there obsessive actions on this site. I want to learn new coping mechanisms to deal with my anxiety, and stress.

@frankdee,
Why not get counseling?

Obviously this issue is enough of a problem for you that you're asking strangers. Find a good (recommended) counselor and get some help.

Mow I'm off. I'm going to continue my obsessive behavior and comb the Internet for entertainment for the rest of my natural life.

@Ragman,
Yep and there is no shame in that.

I know I’ve seen plenty of psychiatrist’s in my time. I’m not kidding either.

@jcboy,
hi! Nice to see you here as usual.

Seriously, psychiatrists and counselors DO help many people with some problems but not ALL.

Where I think they can help reasonably well is with a problem such as obsession. However, one should never expect an instant cure..or sometimes a cure in the way you might think.

What you can learn is/are coping skills that allow you to work with the problem. This can lessen a problem's negative effect in your life. Behavior modification can make some people behavior less dysfunctional. Sometimes that is a reasonable expectation and result.

Yes, meditation can help. In my experience I've found that counseling can be a bit more helpful; however, using both can be an even more productive approach.
