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
@Anonymous Thank you, may be I will crochet. Thank you. I started doing different things and it’s helping
oh i feel that! sometimes it even feels like i self-sabotage these moments. i usually watch videos or listen to music, i read or just spend some time online while cuddling my pet, i also try to text to my friends so im not completely alone.
Sleep early, find volunteer opportunity if not a job, and be with people. Go play football or soccer... Be and interact with others.
I’ve been in an OCD loop for a month now and Im struggling so much alone, no one in my family get what Im going through and are just ignoring me, and I got no friends to tell Im stuck in this cycle and it feels like Im lonely in a dark place, Im writing this right now cuz u guys know the struggle, if it’s okay can u please leave a comment so I don’t feel alone in this, can u please share tips and advice so I can go through this, I feel like Im losing it
does anyone else with this theme hate to be alone?? i deadass get panic attacks when i’m left alone and i sit and watch the time until whoever is coming back because im so scared. i get scared that when im alone im going to lose control and act on my thoughts. my mind goes “oh your alone now nobody would know” or “your alone so you won’t feel guilt”. i hate this so much and as much as i try to deal with it i feel it never gets better. it doesn’t help that i have agoraphobia now either. i need tips!
How do I stop letting my intrusive thoughts control me? Ive been having them for almost a year, once I graduated, become more isolated and lost more friends they've become worse. I feel like when I had friends and was still going to school they weren't as bad probably because I was living more so I didn't take them as seriously. But now that Im home all day and alone they've gotten worse and it feels like they're starting to control my life. Theres times where Im on social media and eventually I forget about them but then when I realize I forgot about them they come back. Sometimes the thought just lingers it doesn't even just pop in my head and go away. I can't tell anyone in my family because they'd judge me for the thoughts and they don't really believe in mental illnesses. I also sometimes think of what other people may think of me if they knew the thoughts I had and it makes it worse. How do I stop letting these thoughts control/trigger me and stop reacting or feeling some type of way about them.
