Hi all! Any tips for riding out an OCD episode? Trying not to use safety behaviours/compulsions or ruminate etc.
I just posted this too. I’m still trying to figure out the sit with it vs maybe, maybe not. Granted, I’ve gotten a lot better over the past year at managing this thing. Staying active is a must. I walk about 20,000 steps a day - not all at once. Get outside. Be kind to yourself. FORCE yourself to do anything that ocd doesn’t want you to do. Get out of bed, go towards the discomfort. It sucks at the moment, but I’ve noticed it shortens the length of the episodes. Of course, don’t seek reassurance. Don’t research. Don’t ruminate. Your brain can only think about one thing at a time. So change the channel - after sitting with the discomfort. You got this!
Believe me I know how this feels I got into many disagreement and arguments with lucky dipshits who did not have ocd The cards are always on their favor All the time they have a big advantage and they don’t see that yet they cry about issues that don’t effected them That’s why we ocd people need to be stronger to hammer and smash people without this disorder who don’t understand I hate god for creating me with this brain I really do For years now I hoped a solar storm would come and I would get a break from technology but it will never came rather shitty Covid came and Gave those shitheads without ocd another advantage god I hate people who don’t understand us so much For some months I was also angry with people with ocd for not expressing themselves enough not spreading a lot of awareness or mass protesting this truly is one of the worsts disorders to live and work with keep this in mind
Always hated how god gave me a decent person OCD when there are lucky dipshits who are far more deserving that’s when I threw religion away for good
Also it makes me VERY angry that other people have it so easy that they have the time to empathize with other people daddyofive situation wars etc when I was BADLY suffering with ocd and nobody seemed to care why do they help one and not the other😡 Also I could never empathize with people because I suffer BADLY from ocd
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
