How do you calm down
How do you calm down without compulsing??
How do you calm down without compulsing??
I try to think of my thoughts as clouds. In my mind I let them float on by. The blue sky will always be behind those clouds, some days will be very cloudy, some days it’s 100% clear. Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself. You got this!!
@BFAbalama Thank you, this is the motivation I need. Today is a hard day
i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?
My biggest is ruminating, i talk and talk and over share with myself and others Like what are some exposures?
