Repetitive intrusive thoughts or what kind?
@ajr824 Yes repetitive intrusive thoughts
I’ve been meditating for almost 11 years now and it is a life saver. I started meditating 10 years ago after waking up from a coma. You learn how to relax and calm your thoughts, it’s very therapeutic and there is so many apps to choose from now but I highly recommend the daily CALM app with Jay Shetty who is my favorite Genius. He also has his own app called Genius and it has hundreds of videos and live meditation sessions where he teaches you about your thoughts and how to breathe to help reduce stress,anxiety and depression. I highly recommended you give it a try. I think right now he’s offering $1 dollar to try it out for a month.
hey there, i can totally relate to how exhausting those loud thoughts can get. meditation can be a cool chill-out tool for some, so it's def worth a shot to see how it vibes with you. 🧘 i've been right where you are, and what really clicked for me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my OCD therapist recommended. it'll be especially helpful for you because it gives you personalized step-by-step support just like an OCD therapist would when those overwhelming thoughts hit. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
have any of y’all had success with just doing basic mindfulness exercises? if so, what does your mindfulness practice look like and what are practical ways i can get started with my own?
Has medication helped anyone with severe intrusive thoughts. I am considering starting and wanted to know what worked best for people.
hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has any “self care” tips or different things to do that helps with their OCD ( or any mental illness ). Ive heard things like journaling and meditation but i want more things to do that can help better myself
