I like a glass of water, cool shower, a walk outside, and intermittent fasting.

pls don’t fast ^. i say this as someone who has been treated by licensed nutritionists for years. !!! i think ice cold water with mint and lemon and cucumber, or sparking water with lime or lemon, or organe juice, or a yummy smoothie !

If it doesn't work for you that's totally okay! Different things work for different people, listen to your doctor and to your body 😁

@Claire personally i’ve been told by every doctor i’ve spoken to regardless if they’re mine or not & have been told fasting is dangerous. i’ve done fasting before & ended up in the hospital with a resting heart rate of 29 bpm & almost died from malnutrition, but if u wanna follow what they instagram fitness models say go ahead. maybe fasting does work for u, but just beware that science says there’s a big chance otherwise. i would just never encourage anyone with severe mental health issues like ocd to fast as well considering the comorbitity rates of ocd & eating disorders. ocd is obsession & fasting becoming something obsessive is a death sentence

@lmaocd This is really aggressive. Plenty of people feel groggy when they have a large meal first thing in the morning and it's not promoting eating disorders to be aware of that. It sounds like this is a very personal issue for you but please don't use that as a reason to be aggressive...

@Claire the reason that is personal to me is exactly why i know what i’m talking about & idk what u mean by aggressive all i did was just type out my thoughts to warn healthy ppl of the consequences of following a diet plan that was created for pre diabetics & appropriated by pseudoscientific instagram fitness trainers. i just wanna share my opinion just like u did so yeah here’s mine if anyone’s interested ^^

@lmaocd You're saying people following different preferences on diet are promoting a "death sentence". Other people can make different choices than you and still be healthy. It's toxic to claim that your way of doing things is the only way. If you want to share your opinion that's fine, but you can do it without fear mongering or calling other habits pseudoscience

@Claire i never said my way of doing things and i never even shared my way of doing things. all i’m saying is be cautious of fasting because it’s dangerous. that’s literally all i’m saying. and yes, intermittent fasting when it’s not used in a medical and clinical state for pre diabetics is pseudoscientific. yeah i’m gonna keep sharing my opinion

@lmaocd Idk, this seems more about your own issues than about giving advice on waking up in the morning? Its ok if it doesn't work for you. I don't think this is helping OP, please stop taking things in this direction

@Claire no, this is about protecting people with ocd— an obsessive disorder. because it is so so so scary to encourage ppl with ocd to fast. i’m looking out for op in case they could develop this as an obsession. u literally never know what could happen. i take this conversation u may seem as tedious as something very important.

Morning dread
I always feel the most anxiety and dread in the morning. That’s when I start overthinking a lot, and it becomes really hard not to seek reassurance on the internet and so on. What do you all do to ease the morning anxiety a bit?

feeling extra hopeless today
i am nearly constantly extremely anxious and i don't want to live like this. my family and friends are so done dealing with me to the point that i feel that i'd be better off completely alone. every small twinge or pain in my body sends me into a panic, and if it's not that it's something else i manage to be worrying over. i'm fairly certain my stress has caused an ulcer to form. i try to sit with myself and not seek reassurance/check myself for issues but it is genuinely agonizing at times. most days i sleep 12-14 hours a day because it gets to a point that i cannot deal with it anymore and i take something to sleep. sometimes i do feel that i would be better off just not around so i wouldn't have to feel this any longer. i do a lot of unhealthy things to cope (drinking, smoking, and otc sleeping pills being the main culprits) and those habits end up hurting me in the long run and making me more anxious. i do have a counselor and she is great but i'm having a really hard time finding a medication provider under my insurance. i really really do want to get better because this is the most miserable i have ever been and i hate being like this and exhausting myself and the people around me. i've been told a big part of the healing process is to make yourself sit with your thoughts and deal with the uncertainty and fear as it comes, but it feels torturous to do that. sometimes reading through these posts does make me feel better knowing that i'm not alone but lately i have been unable to pull myself out of this frantic state. what are some healthier ways to cope/distract yourself that you guys find to be at least semi-effective? i am genuinely willing to try anything to make this terrible feeling go away
