People with OCD what relaxes you?
I'm wondering, cause I want to try finding ways to relax besides watching my childhood favorite movies, I want to try new things but I don't know what to start.

Sometimes coloring or doing things like activity books helps me calm down a bit. I also have been noticing that spending time doing something with someone I find comforting like my dad or a friend helps distract me from my thoughts. It’s really really hard to relax bc my mind is always racing but anything that helps slow it down a bit is good.
@SickCowboy I agree! I am noticing when I hang out with friends or family, it brings me back to reality. So that helps me relax or listening to anxiety music on YouTube helps, esp when going to sleep
