Has anybody externalized their thoughts on paper as an OCD tool to lessen compulsions and basically do ACT on paper (i.e. noticing your thoughts and moving on)? Any other techniques when you have little energy in you to even do it?

I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions

whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??

So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
