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.

How to be alone with your thoughts besides ERP?
Hi - just for some context, I have OCD and ADHD. I hate bringing this up, but with these diagnoses, when intertwined, there is ALWAYS a thought. I never stop thinking. This is really hard, especially because I feel like I always need to be talking to someone. Whether it’s my friends or family, talking to people brings me down to earth from certain kinds of thought spirals. However, when I’m alone it is the hardest. When my friends don’t reply I have this compulsion to text again or I need to constantly check my notifications so that I have none left to check. But then to them or new people I talk to, this behavior probably comes across as overwhelming or too much. I’m trying to control it and use erp, but also, I have my moments where I’m just vunerable and give into the compulsion. It’s genuinely so embarassing and maybe not as big a deal as I’m making it out to be but, how do I manage? And how do I relax?

ocd during summer break
i’m in college and on my summer break now. i don’t have a job yet or much to occupy myself with and im finding it really difficult to keep my ocd under control. if i have nothing to do, i find myself sitting around and ruminating heavily and getting severely anxious and my thoughts just keep wandering. i don’t really feel peace of mind unless im with my boyfriend or my best friend, both of which i don’t get to see often because they’re very busy or live far away. im not sure how to keep myself busy and how to occupy my brain with something other than worries :(
