DROP SOME COPING MECHANISMS FOR ME TO TRY :3!!
May sound silly but still making sure you’re doing things for yourself that you enjoy. Maybe something creative? My therapist told me that those of us with ocd are very creative people hence why we can make up such extravagant false memories , she told me using that part of the brain to do something creative may help!
@LillyX Thank you so much!!
Stimming? I find it grounding.
Yall these panic attacks are getting FOUL. please give some good advice. The ocd brain in me be telling me I’m dying and bout to head to the Gates of Heaven. Helpppp
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
