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.

Medication or supplements
Hiii - hope everyone is having a good day! Has anyone found any type of medication or supplements helpful with thinking sooo deeply about everything and intrusive thoughts? I’m in therapy + doing erp but my brain in this relapse of ocd just thinks sooo deep into my brain and i can’t seem to not to do it pull myself out. Like I’m just paranoid. An example would be if i simply look at my arm I’ll think so deeply about it like what’s under my arm what’s it look like inside etc. but if anyone not in this cycle looks at their arm they’ll be like hmm ok cool my arm and move on w their day. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience of what I’m feeling rn.
This is me!

OCD and meditation
Hello, I have been interested in meditation, but it seems like an impossible thing for someone with intrusive thoughts. Does anyone have experience with meditation or helpful resources for how someone with OCD might start to meditate? Is meditation even helpful in someone who has OCD?

Grounding techniques?
I can't focus on anything but my thoughts. I'm so inside my head, and my mom always tells me to focus on my body and my surroundings, but I can't, or maybe I just don't know how. I try to, but it doesn't help. The thoughts are still there :(
