I get triggered by so many things. It's always video games. I will always ruminate and I can't stop. It's terrible

Well if you’re being triggered by video games maybe perhaps, you should avoid them? Start doing other things and see if you still get triggered, also tell your therapist about that too and see what the therapist says about it

I have a threapist but I don't know if she's helping. I wanna switch but I have insurance problems.

I'm not suggesting avoidance, but if you're finding games triggering and you're not able to resist rumination, it might be good to scale back temporarily. I imagine you'll start small, with anxiety at a level where you can prevent compulsions, then ultimately build up to doing more gaming as exposure exercises as you get better at response prevention. Definitely talk to your therapist to get help learning how to resist rumination.

Yeah, comolete avoidance is not what you want to do..this reinforces things. I agree with the 2nd comment. Temporarily scale back or perhaps change the types of games you're playing. Like they said, put the games you're getting triggered the most by on a fear hierarchy. Baby steps. Work your way up. When you're ready, play the most triggering games. Spend as much time as you can being triggered without compulsions. And then sit with the anxiety when you power down! Great way to do some ERP!

Compulsively on reddit when in a spiral

Is it just me or is reddit and quora the worst things to be on when you’re in a spiral or just in general when you have OCD? Why is it always mostly negative replies on there or just ‘move on, get over it’ ‘break up’, ‘what’s wrong with you?’ responses? I’ve accidentally made it a habit/compulsion to go on there when I’m freaking out about something and it always makes me worse - especially when it comes to ROCD! It always make me doubt my own thoughts and emotions :(

I don’t know what this is. Help please?

Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
