Writing with ADHD
It has taken me an unbelievably long time to start writing this. Eight months in fact! Most of my readers by now are probably thinking I’ve slipped off into the abyss. Some may not even think of me anymore. Even now, as I write this sentence, I wonder how long the burst of motivation I’m feeling is going to last; I wonder if I’ll ever finish it.

My family sees no progress in my OCD recovery. How do I make them understand?
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is difficult and complex, but even more so when living with your family. Often my family will say, “You’re having therapy, why aren’t you better yet?” Oh my, if only it were that easy. The first thing I have to say about this is: put yourself in my shoes. Many of us live with these obsessions and compulsions for years before even getting a diagnosis, let alone finding help. Even then, therapy isn’t foolproof. In fact, therapy is very distressing for most people, as it makes you face up to things you may actively avoid. So if you have finally built up the courage to ask for help (believe me, it’s not easy) and attend therapy, there is nothing more disheartening than hearing, “Why aren’t you better yet?”

A day in the Life.
A seemingly “normal” day can flip in an instant. A single touch, thought or action can change everything. A loss of control if only for a moment can unravel your entire day, consumed by a singular feeling: fear. Many people experience fear, but in some people, fear isn’t just a worry — it consumes every thought and action. Fear doesn’t discriminate: age, race, sexuality or religion, we will all fear “true” fear at some point in our lives. This is what living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like.

What the OCD cycle fails to take into account.
Obsessions. Anxiety. Compulsions. Relief. It doesn’t sound so bad like that, does it? In reality however, it’s so much more than what the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) cycle appears to be. OCD symptoms vary so much — in severity, frequency, and how they appear to each person. For me, my OCD behaviors are in a constant state of flux. The more stressed I feel, the more anxious I become. The more anxious I become, the worse my obsessions are, which leads to an increase in compulsions. This then leads to low mood and depression.

The reality of perfectionism with OCD
Most people believe you should always try your best. Perfectionism in OCD can be a major source of inner conflict and distress. For people with OCD the need for perfection goes beyond just wanting something to be right, but the need for it to be perfect has consequences attached to it. In my case I obsess over every tiny detail and flaw, and that causes me intense distress. If it is not perfect, something bad will happen. There will be a consequence disproportionate to the problem. This idea invades my thoughts and attacks thought after thought and I get stuck in a loop.

How is narcolepsy treated?
At present, there is no cure for narcolepsy at the best addiction treatment center in Karachi, which is a chronic and life-long condition. It is possible, however, to treat the symptoms with a combination of medication and behavioural therapy. People want to know the prescription drug trazodone used for Insomnia. The objective of any narcolepsy treatment plan is to keep you as alert as possible during the day and to minimize narcolepsy-associated cataplexy, hallucinations, and sleep paralysis.
