Super hard to control the mind. I have a comeback to every trigger. They’ve built up for a while before I sought treatment so maybe it’ll take a little longer

The moment you catch yourself doing it, immediately stop and do something else that’s more productive. If you are about to do a mental compulsion, take a few deep breaths and sit with the feelings.

I need help on this as well! I feel like it’s the only thing holding me back from getting better

I just try to distract and do something productive. It can be hard to do at first of course. I guess the ideal is do nothing.
