Do you guys have any advice for a routine to follow every day to mitigate the anxiety symptoms which include he ocd

I wake up pray. Read something whether it's the Bible or something on my phone. Meditate on good thoughts along with breathing exercises. I feed my kids. Play with them for a little then take them to daycare. I have about 3 hours of free time before work and i usually do some push ups then shower. Play a little fort nite. Then head to work. Just try to keep your mind busy and stay around people you're comfortable around. Starting the day with positive thoughts and breathing is the best thing for me.

Yes, being around people is very important

Meditate on good thoughts. Try breathing in for 4 secs hold it for 4 secs and, exhale for 6 secs.

Maybe make a schedule for yourself! Write it out, the times and everything. Make time for meals, snacks, fun time, working on something, maybe school. Just everything that includes taking care of yourself. Maybe even just finding time to think about things you want to do

Do you have a schedule that works for you guys?

I get up, brush my teeth, shower, exercise, eat breakfast, then finish getting dressed and ready for the day, it helps me to have a place to be... so I go out somewhere, either stay with my parents at work (I know not everyone does that ?), or I go to Barnes and noble, I make sure to eat in between because I can’t think clearly if I’m not eating enough. Find a good book. Me personally, I hate reading. But I’m kind of making myself do it because it does good for my mind be used but also just to enjoy a story that I don’t have to overthink.

You could go to the mall or a pet shop and look at some pets, go to a park and read, look up different careers or jobs or college majors... take a class on khan academy to improve in any subject that interests you? Look up community events, like theatre shows, karaoke nights.

Just options for if you have as much free time as I do ? I’ve been in hospitals for the past two years so i don’t have a very busy life right now.
