ERP Questions

hey there, i totally get how the nights can be tough. it's like everything quiets down and those intrusive thoughts just wanna throw a party in your head. i've got my own tango with pure o, different obsessions, but the struggle? it's real. just wanted to say i'm here to listen, we're in this together. 🤝 about that evening routine, it's a solid move trying to find ways to chill out before bed. i heard about this free AI OCD tool called "unstuck" from my therapist, and it might be a game-changer for you, especially with the ruminating. check it out at www.AIOCDtool.com. it's like having a mini-therapist in your pocket, guiding you through those rough patches. you just spill what's bugging you, and it gives you steps to help you break free from the OCD cycle. i'm not big on app promos either, but this isn't about that – it's helped me tons, and i hope it does the same for you. hit me up if you've got questions, okay? take care. ✨

falling asleep to asmr helps me SO much for this ❤️ it’s great background noise to focus on instead of my thoughts and it’s relaxing. and you can look up ones without talking if that’s what you prefer

I have tried yoga nidra videos right before because to relax and find them helpful.

Definitely do things to help wind yourself down. No phone( or at least lower the brightness setting) or tv. Keep LED lights off and or use low warm lighting. Breathing techniques, hot tea (herbal), read a book, listen to very calming music and or sounds. Warm shower. Have your partner do a relaxing massage if possible. Count blessings. Anything to actually get you tired and to mellow out the brain. Honestly depending on your sleep schedule don’t go to sleep so early as well.
