It’s ok tum98 take a deep breath. Is it about a past event or false memory? Something you are trying to ruminate on and making it seem worse than it might have been? Ocd is so good at making things from the past seem so much worse than it really was. I have had panic attacks at work because I “thought” of a false memory and it seemed real and I couldn’t concentrate on simple tasks because what if I’m a bad person and the bad memories are real and what if none of it matters?!!! It’s complete BS!! It’s the ocd LYING to you.

I seriously don't know if it's can help you? but for myself it's working. "breath". Not about meditation but control your breath. Not letting your body/emotion take control over you. If you cannot, count slowly "1 (breath) .. 2 (exhale) ... 3 (breath) ... 4 (exhale)" etc till you're feeling a little more conscious that you're the one who is controlling the situation After the storm, take a moment to think at your ease, without putting pressure on yourself. If it's happen, it's happen. it's not something bad, you have a lot emotions intensity to evacuate Everything is going to be fine :) Have a good Sunday

what’s 1 thing you’re looking forward to this week
i tend to struggle with work stress and my OCD symptoms really surround work. it’s also hard to relax and look forward to fun things while knowing i have work throughout the week. i thought this might be a good way to learn more about what others look forward to in a week while also being stressed or experiencing symptoms🙏🏼✨

Tips for rumination with real event?
I've been doing well the past month in cutting down on compulsions and have been feeling better however, last night I had a set back that carried on into today. I had gotten very poor sleep (4ish hours) and then something triggered my memory. I think with the sudden anxiety spike and lack of sleep I didn't have the strength to ignore my compulsions. Last night and today I've realised I've gone back into rumination and mentally reviewing the event excessively again and comparing my situation to other people's, but most of the times that I start going down these rabbit holes I don't even realise I'm doing it? Also been fixating a bit on the fear that I've ruined my progress and that I will fall back into the deep end of it all again, that I have done so much work getting myself out of, although trying my best to not be too discouraged. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with rumination more specifically?
