Also, taking a shower from head to toe.
Im not very good at this either but maybe try breathing technique’s that calm you down from ur distress which could result in you getting more energy to do things you like? Haven’t tried this yet sadly so idk if it works
Maybe you need a change of scenery for a few days? I just came back from a short holiday and it really helped get me out of my head. You can maybe take a Friday and Monday off, have a chill day at home on the Friday when you sleep in, go for a walk or a run, and pack your stuff, and then you can go away a couple of days, come back on the Monday. Keeping it all at a chill pace, and you don’t need to go far. I say this as someone who almost never takes holidays. I really underrate them for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️
@Pudu OCD OCD or not, we all need to relax and recharge sometimes.
Change your handle from Miserable 😖 to something more upbeat, the power of positive vibes and suggestions can help a little. Also stay properly hydrated, that I at times overlook and it really does have influences physically and emotionally and mentally.
Deep breath meditation. 👍🏻👌🏻
Prayer and reading the Bible.
@RMO2023 Not everyone is of the same religion or is even religious at all.
@Anonymous I get it. But that's what helped me.
Sleep
Practicing mindfulness helps me a lot. I’ll go sit outside and look at the trees, imagine how they feel to the touch, how it might smell. Also the clouds, how I imagine they’d feel if you could just walk on them, etc. I do it a lot on my ride home after work and it’s a nice reset. Also, practicing self care. Take a bath with lavender Epsom salts, do a face mask, put on your favorite show and relax!
I feel very mentally drained and exhausted
Having a bit of an interesting time lately, feeling like I am on a roller coaster because every day has been a bit different. Yesterday was a pretty good day, my anxiety was low and intrusive thoughts were easier to work past. What I noticed was although anxiety was low, I still felt overwhelmed by thoughts sporadically throughout the evening. This morning I had some intense feelings after waking up, but find myself almost in the same place again. Any tips or tricks that have worked for you on managing through thoughts with low anxiety?
I’ve been feeling a little bit better these past few days but today it’s been very stressful for me having a lot of hard thoughts and unable to release tension mentally giving me a headache and feelings of panic. Having a hard time connecting with reality. Any ideas or suggestions on how to grab myself and release tension?
