So I am having really high anxiety and compulsions to do rituals is there anything you guys do to calm down to resist rituals or reduce anxiety

I tell myself. “Hello thought.” And then “Hello anxiety.” And I sit in that anxiety for a few minutes think about what I’m anxious about without trying to fight the thought. Then I try to continue on with whatever I was doing.

I try to remind myself that the more anxiety I feel now, the better I’ll feel in the future. Resisting the rituals is the basis of ERP.

Also meds help but I’m no doctor lol
