Ok so I’ve been struggling with ROCD. I found my old Nintendo DS and I’ve been playing Pokémon on it. Idk why but it has like drastically reduced ocd symptoms. Like I feel like I’m putting a lot of obsessive energy into the game like I have to do things in an order in the game. Just wanted to share with y’all.

There are studies that show that doing an intensive task (the example was playing Tetris) right after a trauma can actually prevent the formation of bad memories. Anyway, on the one hand this sounds good, but of course don't let Pokémon become a compulsion! (I say this as someone who has been playing a lot of board games on Board Game Arena recently, lol.)
