I do! Belly breathing supports and putting my hand gently on my stomach and allowing it to relax. Also, mentally allowing myself permission to throw up. The embarrassment fear of it can expand it for me so if I start saying “eh so what I’ll vomit and handle it” really helps

I do. It turned out to be IBS. My doctor prescribed anti-deppressants for the anxiety, and some other medication for the IBS. The combination has worked for me.

Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.
