I find that healthy coping mechanisms that involve intense sensory input help- like a cold shower, or holding ice. Or even focusing on little things, like your breathing or the "five game"- finding five things in the space you're in that fit each of the five senses. However, if these trigger your OCD, don't use them! Just what I've picked up from CBT therapy. You're not alone.

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

derealization
does anyone else get INTENSE derealization (it’s the worse for me when i wake up from a dream in the middle of the night) and it’s so bad that it genuinely feels like nothing is real, not even thoughts are real, consciousness is not real, what the heck are we doing on a floating ball in the middle of darkness?? i feel like im in a simulation or a dream. i hate it sm ive had it everyday for 5 years, but tbh im not surprised it hasn’t gotten better because I have gone through some traumatic things recently and have had bad mental health. hopefully it could get better soon idk.
