There's a song that I like called "Is That All There Is?" It goes: "Is that all there is? / if that's all there is my friends /then let's keep dancing / let's break out the booze and have a ball / if that's all there is." Sometimes, I sing that at my OCD.
ohhh nice, i’ll look it up, maybe it’ll help me, thanks cutie
i have a few! • that’s a good one • who knows / who cares • we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it • we’ll see • there go the busy bees! 🐝 • did i ask ? • ..and ? • whatever floats your boat
I usually try to observe my own thoughts as if i were an outsider. While doing this, i use objective expressions as much as possible. For example if i have an intrusive thought at a moment i would say: "Right now there is an intrusive/unwanted thought in my mind. And my body is showing signs of anxiety. However my mind knows that this unwanted thought is not important and will pass if i don't dwell on it." Or sometimes i try to make fun of my thoughts like this: "Oh here you are, i was wondering where you were. So what nonsense did you come to tell me today?" "Uh huh so what? Who cares? Well i don't!" "Is this the best you've got? I was expecting something better from you. You are getting more and more boring. Next time be more creative."
