Suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Aliando Syarief Struggles to Control Himself

Kapanlagi.com - In early January, Aliando Syarief made a shocking confession while live on Instagram. He revealed that the reason for his withdrawal from the entertainment industry for several years was related to his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

I'm very happy to be able to socialize," said Aliando when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta.

1. Confused How to Control It

Aliando Syarief said that the mental illness he is suffering from is not as severe as before. However, he still has to be able to control it because there is something inside his body that is confused about how to control it.

"The current condition still has to be controlled because there is something playing with emotions inside me. Everything in my mind and feelings is mixed up that we cannot control. So, the brain and feelings are not synchronized. It moves as it pleases in my body and I am confused about how to control it," said Aliando.

2. Finding Out and Calming Down

Since suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Aliando Syarief sometimes becomes emotionally detached. He learned to hold back by finding trigger points and trying to calm them down.

"If we are angry, we are hit by several layers. As if there are seven, the most we reach is five, so there are two that we can think about and control. That's what we're looking for, trying to calm it down, finding the problem, and thinking about it well," explained the young man who rose to fame through the TV series Ganteng-Ganteng Serigala.

3. Managing Anger

With Aliando Syarief's return to the entertainment industry, the young man learned to control his anger. Because it will happen when he loses control.

"Emotions come in various forms, there is anger, there is sadness, but what often appears is the anger that suddenly attacks people and I don't want to feel it. So, that's what I manage," concluded Aliando.
