You can always try setting up a fish tank (at least 10 gallons). Those things require enough care to be considered a hobby, especially if you want to include live vegetation. Sourdough bread baking is another option. You literally have to "feed" your sourdough starter regularly to keep it functioning and ready for bread making. And who doesn't like fresh bread? Assuming you don't have a gluten allergy of course š There's always gardening as well, even if it's a tiny windowsill garden.

It might be kinda stupid but find a rock and make it ur pet! You can make it a house out of cardboards and maybe even dress the rock up!

Crocheting is my hobby! Try it out itās difficult at first but once you get the hang of it itās repetitive and relaxing! And you get to make cool things like beanies and blankets

I grew some herbs in an indoor garden last winter. I liked being able to smell them and use them.

One of my hobbies is carving. With carving, you get to choose what you want to make and then you just work for hours trying to get the layout. Itās hard work tbh but it helps you stay busy and you can paint it after if you want. It can take hours to days to weeks sometimes (depending on what youāre making and how big it is) and you can buy the tools at your nearest crafts store and you can find a big branch anywhere too or just buy wood.

Gratefulness
I know that at times itās hard to be thankful for who I am and what I have in life. Would you like to help me think more positively with the top 3 things you love about your life? It can be the people youāre surrounded by, a hobby, a food, animal, plant, TV show, weather, etc.

Not really OCD related
So Iām so bored lately I have everything I want and could ask for but Iām a dopamine junkie so I jump from item to item and Iām still bored and I have ātoys ā stay with me Iāll explain ā¦ so I have actual toys like dolls and stuffed animals because I still enjoy younger things at times ā¦ yep Iām still an adult ā¦ but that being said I wonāt āplay ā or interact with younger toys because I feel itās not age appropriate and I want to fit in with societyās norms ā¦ that being said I have a Xbox s I have a Nintendo switch ā¦ a legion go hand held system ā¦ a portable dvd player and Iām sure other things I canāt rememberā¦ no I donāt act like a spoiled brat and want or need for everything and Iām very gratefulā¦. But that being said out of all the things I have nothing really keeps my attention I just impulse buy themā¦ I obsess about buying them for months I buy them and use them for a little bit and get bored ā¦ā¦ then I feel ungrateful for not using an expensive item or gift.:. Go back and use that item and then the cycle repeats ā¦ I just canāt find anything that truly keeps me entertained and engaged ā¦ and keeps me wanting to fool with it every day or interact with it ā¦. I want to find something that gives me a sense of accomplishment and excitementā¦ and game systems and whatever else just donāt do that for me ā¦ like I said I promise Iām not a spoiled adult /brat ā¤ļø

Looking for positivity š
Iāve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)ā¦but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesnāt have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I donāt want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! š
