Alone
What to do when you are alone? I just read that the toughts get worse when you are alone. What do you guys usually do when you are left home alone?

i like to do difficult calculus problems most of all, but I also like to lift weights, crochet, and play card games with my mom and my little brother :) when the thoughts are too loud for me to enjoy my hobbies, I’ll watch YouTube (i’ve made my algorithm really carefully curated to avoid all religious topics, both atheist debates and evangelism/apologetics, since those trigger me a lot) or talk to my friends about my favorite band of all time

Sleep early, find volunteer opportunity if not a job, and be with people. Go play football or soccer... Be and interact with others.

Struggling During the Holiday
I am having a really hard time being home for the holidays. My intrusive thoughts are constant and loud. It sucks too, because my thoughts get triggered when I'm around one of my family members. I just want to distance myself, so I can stop the thoughts and feel like I'm not going to hurt anyone. I'm so distressed and depressed. What do you do to help calm your mind and remind yourself that you are a good person, despite what the thoughts say? I've already meditated, taken my Lexapro, and tried to remind myself that these thoughts want to attack the things I care about the most. Thanks. ❤️

Can't be home alone. How can I over come ?
It's been a year since I've been able to stay home alone. I don't know how to fight this. I feel like the world will collapse on me. That the house will cave in. Or I'll just lose my mind and scream and run outside screaming and saying the world is falling type thing. I don't know how to help myself. I'm to scared to even try to be alone. I have to have my son 18 stay home with me or my aunt stay with me when my son does leave. It's horrible. I feel like I'm holding my son back from so much. I don't know how to beat this. Please help

Question…
When you get a stuck thought in your mind, as stupid or untrue as it may be, how do any of you block them out, or try to at least? It’s like my mind has another voice telling me making up the stupidest things?
