Question:
Answers:
hello my friend!
well you just made one first step of changing your life. congratulations.
now I'm not going to make you a list with do and donts. it's useless. I would only be glad if you would do this little exercise with me. ever time when you have a little time for yourself sit back and relax. try to think at something you just realized that day. you surely realize [do] something in one day.starting from smiling to a person you appreciate, continuing with making your agenda cleared by the unnecessary tasks, and finishing with whatever you like. it takes so little. I do it daily and the only problem with it is that sometimes i get to mention every moment of my life that i fee worth living.
..might be one mistake of mine, but i still have the rest of the other moments when I feel that I am able to be a person just like I want and just like the persons that I love need. I takes some practice and faith. you already have it, so half of the work is done.
now look how long this message is.i didn't imagine that would be so long.i wish you luck and for now just bye.

OCD is a very common disorder. And so is schizopherenia. All you can do is talk to a doctor. And realize there's a difference between depression and being depressed. These are not easy things to deal with.
first off stay on your medication, even when you feel you no longer need it.
Exercise helps, even minor such as going for walks. If the enviroment is too stimulating bring a cd player with relaxing music and sunglasses to help you feel safe. Even if you have to walk in your own yard or driveway.
Exercising helps release endorphins which can elevate stress.
Find out what triggers you, people stepping too close may take away your safe space and let people know , Im sorry could you please step away I have boundries and your in them. Dont be afraid to tell people.
Thats all I can think of for now. Good luck

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
