Do you A. Just let yourself keep yawning and learn to not care B. Try to stop or suppress the yawning Trigger warning only because I don’t want all the Somatics to start yawning
A. I recently had a situation where I couldn't finish sneezes (unrelated to OCD). Using my OCD training, I just accepted that I may or may not sneeze. In this case, it didn't take long to correct itself.
@Ben84 😮 I lost my sneezes too. It happened a couple months ago. I could get to the inhale/about to sneeze part, but then my mind would jump in and not let me actually sneeze. That’s how mine corrected itself too, same as you. I just said Oh well, I guess I’ll never sneeze again. And then I got the sneezes back. I actually do think it has something to do with OCD. It felt like yet another OCD game. The mind is very powerful. Thanks Ben
I didn’t realize this was related to my ocd that’s crazy NO ONE has understood the yawning thing I won’t be able to yawn for weeks at a time. Drives me nuts !
Any tips on how to stop SH?
Does anyone have any tips they can share as to what they do to prevent intrusive images from coming into their brain? Or when it happens how to cope?
At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)
