Depends what do you do for compulsions
88888888888888888888888888888888 now sit with anxiety without doing compulsions and let it fade
Maybe right them over and over?
Write*
Write it down start with a few 8’s then go up to 10 then 20 and so on. Sit with the anxiety and if it feels like too much, try it again later. Also there’s a loop tape on the app that you can say the letter 8 and it will repeat and you just sit with the anxiety. Maybe buy something that’s 8 dollars? Just work your way up and remember you are not alone. I don’t have this fear so I don’t know how good my advice would be but I hope this helps!
Do everything in eights. Put post it notes around your home with the number 8 on them. Write down eight rows of the number 8 eight times. Make snacks with eight pieces (eg eat 8 chips at a time). Set a timer to do something for eight minutes.
I’ve got existential ocd and watching Final Destination 3 and then Matrix , think outside the box
Bit of an unusual one but do you play any video games? In one game you can put a number of your choice on your jersey
playing cards might help? especially crazy 8s since its about 8? its also easy to learn, its like off-brand UNO
8 is usually good!
Talk to some enneagram 8’s?
Wrote the number 8 on post it sticky notes and post it on your house, car and work environment if you work. Put it on you phone screen as a screen saver.
