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 there. I'm plugging an app called "unstuck." When it comes to my compulsions, it has helped me manage it. It helps me get out my anxiety and as well as peace of mind even just for a while. My OCD keeps flaring up most especially at night when everything's too quiet and dark. That's when my compulsions usually arise. If you check it and try it out, I hope it will be as helpful as it was to me. It's been really life-changing for me to be honest.
@DahliaStranner29 Thanks ! I will take a look 👀
@Pubbywomwom - I hope it helps you!!!<33
Trigger warning Has anyone else dealt with disordered eating to cope with OCD? I’ve found that I often lose weight during a flare because I feel like I don’t deserve to eat. I’m wondering if this is common, it feels very isolating and lonely dealing with this.
Any tips on whenever you’re getting that intrusive thought, what can I tell myself without reassuring myself
Does anyone have experience of being in recovery from addiction and being around people that don't get it and they keep offering you drugs? It sets my anxiety off a lot and I start feeling overwhelmed. Just good coping strategies will do.
