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.
Does anyone have any tips they can share as to what they do to prevent intrusive images from coming into their brain? Or when it happens how to cope?
Does anyone have tips on good sleep hygeine? What does everyone use to relax and wind down before bedtime?
I am having a really hard time being home for the holidays. My intrusive thoughts are constant and loud. It sucks too, because my thoughts get triggered when I'm around one of my family members. I just want to distance myself, so I can stop the thoughts and feel like I'm not going to hurt anyone. I'm so distressed and depressed. What do you do to help calm your mind and remind yourself that you are a good person, despite what the thoughts say? I've already meditated, taken my Lexapro, and tried to remind myself that these thoughts want to attack the things I care about the most. Thanks. ❤️
