How do you guys manage compulsive self-talk?
I am personally working on , not doing my mental compulsions as well. It’s pretty hard not to do them. when do my compulsions I do try to stop myself and let myself sit with the uncertainty and anxiety of the situation. Sometimes I’m able to do that sometimes I’m not. I’m still figuring it out myself. I find it a lot easier to work on physical compulsions versus the mental ones. Keep trying I’m sure we’ll be able to figure it out just difficult.
The moment I catch myself doing it, I stop and go do something else.
It's just that I start to mumble what's in my head. The anxiety is so high I'm unable to deal with it.
This is like my number one compulsion. Ill often do it for forty minutes at a time. OCD is evil. It will never be persuaded. It will never let you off the hook. Sometimes I just have to recognize the futility of it but I'll be right back to doing it soon...
does anyone else use the fact that they dont like their thoughts as a confirmation/compulsion, and or when you go through something stressful with little to no compulsions take it as a sign they actually like it? is this apart of usual rumination or am I expirencing something different? and how do you deal with it?
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!!
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?
