Wouldn’t wish this shit upon my worst enemy, I went from having no anxiety in life, super outgoing dude for 27 years to a shell of himself. At my worst I had 15 themes, you cannot let it go haywire. Fight through it, it is possible to be 100 percent again. Do not bring it up in your head, do not say maybe this maybe that, it is the wrong principle. The key is non rumination. It is possible to be yourself again, it will be the hardest thing you ever do I cannot lie. But if you don’t ruminate it is possible. I got better 100 percent in a month after battling this for a year and half. Any questions I am here to help.

Absolutely ridiculous, couldn’t look at my microwave, tying shoes, listening to music, looking at guys, looking at girls, eating or drinking, looking at signs, talking to people, meaningless words or phrases. I had it all, you have to understand too I am an outgoing popular guy, it was messed up. I am 100 percent now or say 98 percent but am happy. Even tried medication which doesn’t work because it lowers your willpower and subconsciously it was a compulsion. Let’s you feel no anxiety but all the compulsions.

I got better by not doing erp purposely but instead lived my life as I normally would, let each thought flow to another and my biggest fears became my ally because I used those thoughts to flow through others. In the bigginning you will compulse every time but your actually getting better, it is your fight or flight response. Then it stops, the hardest thoughts you have to flex your abs and put pressure on your head to get through the worst, eventually you won’t need to do this and it’ll honest be annoying not intrusive.

Yes I dealt with that too, rumination as hard as it sounds is a choice the key is to keep anxiety levels low by letting thoughts flow. Seems impossible in the beginning, unfortunately when your in fight and flight mode I took a 3 days off work and walked around a reservoir for about 12 hours a day. Got my anxiety levels down and now the instantaneous compulsions didn’t happen. Sucks I know, hated this shit. It’s all about momentum, one compulsion takes about a week to heal. Tough odds but it’s the truth

Listen people love you right, this shit is destroying your life I know I was there , your attitude needs to change, the anxiety is ridiculous I know but you will be good soon when that anxiety Lowers I promise the rumination is the problem. If you do not ruminate you will have this thought less and less

@Anonymous Everyone says rumination does that mean thinking about the thoughts all the time?
