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.
I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.
Looking for inspiration
Anyone have any good coping strategies when they have an ocd flare up or attack?
