This is a weird? But does anyone know if a vitamin d defitiancy cause ocd too be worse i found out i was very low on vitamin d started taking it and been feeling better thoughts and anxiety more mild also been exercising lots

That’s interesting... I also recently had a vitamin D deficiency and have been feeling a little better since I started taking it. But I will say exercise is huge— I can’t even describe the benefit it’s had for me, especially running.

Taking it has helped me with depression a little

Also does anyone on here deal with very odd thoughts i was diagnosed with ocd I only have 1 thought that bugs me i for over a year now been thinking all be telaported just out random too a strange place be left abandoned with no way get help that’s only thought and it’s gotton so bad and scary I had been suicidal I been working with exposure therapist too accept uncertainty and too say what f it does it does I know this sounds crazy and it’s bit embarrassing too share just wandering if anyone else has similar thoughts?

I’ve heard that a vitamin D deficiency can cause depression! Especially in the winter when there’s like no sunshine ever (at least where I’m from!) exercising 100% helps too. My mood gets soooo much better when I exercise and I can fight the thoughts easier when I’m in that positive mood and mindset

I have heard it acts as a hormone in female bodies. I was also deficient, but it doesn’t seem to help my OCD. It does ease my depression a bit, and make me less exhausted.

I’ve found that eating healthy also helps... especially laying off sugar as much as possible and eating more organic fruit and vegetables. To be honest with you, exercise is a huge way I deal with my thoughts because it really does help you gain more control over them. I think it may have to do with the endorphins your body releases. I’ve also done meditation, which has really helped me realize my thoughts are just thoughts— and not who I am. It’s been working for me, and I’ve felt much better over the last 5-6 years

It helps you realize that you don’t have to pay attention to your thoughts. So like when you meditate, you focus on your breath and only your breath, and every time any other thought comes in you just ignore it, and then go right back to your breath. And then when you have unwanted thoughts during the day, you realize you can just ignore them and focus on something else. It really is like a skill

Yeah I have not taken it long but feeling bit better my thought was bad too I been eating bit better exercising too

How do you guys deal with your thoughts? And do u notice if healthy eating helps? Yeah I been walking lots notice it realy calms my anxiety

How does meditation help you?

Do you still struggle with your thoughts

I do... but it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be. I do still have bad days and new obsessions that pop up, but they’re easier to manage and it’s not completely controlling my life anymore like it was

Do you ever get odd thoughts I have had same thought for over a year now and it’s only one I get

Idk about really odd, but I did used to obsess about the same thing for years. Most of mine are social anxiety related
