Rumination
How exactly do you stop ruminating? It’s my worst compulsion and it’s pretty much constant.

If you look up Nathan Peterson on YouTube (he’s a mental health therapist for ocd and anxiety) he has some good methods for rumination.

Does anyone else..
Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.
