Best Answer

One can learn to control OCD urges with persistence and patience. Managing OCD urges will be difficult, it is important to understand what causes these urges. After understanding what compels you to act out these urges, you can try to learn to re-associate your compulsive urges to non-stressful things. It is important to understand that it is a medical condition, and cannot be cured, only worked through.
