Anyone’s compulsion food ? Tips to sit with anxiety instead of eating ?
This was definitely one of mine! Never truly realized it because the “checking “ was such an obvious, disruptive compulsion. It’s great you recognize it❤️. Now I will note that I’m feeling the urge to eat, I will notice if I actually feel hungry, and then I will usually say to myself I will grab some food in a few minutes if I’m truly hungry.
@VGH Thanks !
Hi! I’m new to the NOCD community, but I’ve been dealing with OCD since I was 12. I’m almost 29 now, and my biggest issue is health anxiety. It’s gotten to the point where getting work done is nearly impossible because i can’t stop spiraling. I’m lucky that i work remotely, but also makes it easier to be in my own head… Asking for advice - how do you all deal with the intense anxiety and are able to make it through a 9-5 work day? Any suggestions on how I can actually be productive? Thank you!
Has anyone ever had an intrusive thought of thinking you’ve might’ve swallowed something dangerous and you can’t trust your own mind? And you feel like you need to go in to get checked out? Any advice or reassurance?
I need tips on how to really accept the uncertainty the ocd causes, even if it feels so bad like I might get in trouble for something , do I wanna be okay with that?
