First i must say that this book is excellent and a MUST read for anyone who wants to be cured from OCD,SP,SA or whatever other mental disorders they might have.I know theres already a thread about this book but i doubt many people know it.Ive searched a lot in the web for a cure and this book is the only really helpful thing ive found so far...and for the people who cant find it on p2p, heres a download link.

I personally have/had ocd,sp and a lot more other crap but now theres only tiny bits of sp left.
I remember when it all started 2 years ago,i dint understand what was wrong and how to fix it, luckyly there was one person who told me what was wrong(lack of control over my life) and then i knew what to do, also i should note that i dint take any meds.
a quote from the book
""""
They hardly exist in the present; their thoughts come and go, and
their minds are either lost in reveries about the past, or are consumed
with worry about the future.
Such patients often let themselves fall into a kind of dreamlike
semi-conscious state, which they do not find unpleasant, but whose
dangers they do not recognize, and which they will be hard put to get
out of later on. The longer this state lasts, the more pronounced the
symptoms become: apathy, fatigue, and a general disinterest in life
soon take hold and refuse to let go.
A perfectly balanced individual may have a preponderance for
one or the other part of the brain. Nervous persons in particular are
often observed to place more emphasis on the subconscious brain,
without necessarily becoming ill. All he or she has to do is learn to
control it.
""""
---TIPS---
The average person takes 10 to 12 breaths per minute at rest. Your breathing rate may be higher than it should be. Some people with social phobia overbreathe constantly, while other people find that their breathing rate only goes up when they are anxious. In both cases slow breathing can help.

Now i would like to add some of my own tips.
When you go somewhere your subconscious remembers only fear and anxiety.We must save the new experiences to the subconscious so when you go to the place where you felt fear before, you now would feel good because thats the way your subconscious remembers it.
So when you go out, you must create a good feeling, you cant hold that feeling forever so you have to recreate it whenever a fear appears.
If you have negative thoughts like "everybody are watching me" then just
think positively like no their not, you must understand how irrational your thoughts are, concentrate on breathing very slowly(this is very important!).
This might be hard for people with bad sp but it works for me.

Also people who play video games and have sp,i must say its not good because people with mental disorders live in a dreamlike semi-conscious state and playing will keep them there harder.
quote from the article
The video game group, which played video games for 2-7 hours daily, showed nearly zero beta activity all the time, even when they were not playing video games. This means there was little to no activity in their prefrontal lobes. These subjects reported being easily angered, having difficulty concentrating, and having trouble socializing.
