You don’t have to accept the content of the thoughts, but acknowledge that those thoughts and feelings are present and are not dangerous like your brain perceives. Sit with the anxiety for as long as possible without doing compulsions. You got this!

Just acknowledge that they exist. Going off of blazed, you just need to sit down and let your levels come down. There’s a sos button if you need it :)

What are some techniques to stop a spiral?
I’ve recently been having the spiraling intrusive thoughts coming up out of seemingly nowhere. Well not exactly nowhere, having some relationship issues but the thoughts will just randomly show up when I’m clam home reading a book.
