Do as much as you can. Breathe, and then find something productive to do to push thoughts away. I know for me, I have begun to do this and it really helps. I know it kinda sounds harsh for me to say "just do other things" but really, if your brain has nothing to work on, it'll MAKE stuff to work on. So watching TV, listening to music even, they will only invite thoughts in. You almost have to think with your body so things like taking walks, getting involved in household stuff, that can really make your mind almost shut off in a way.. At least, that's what I've learned when it comes to myself.

I have really started to take control of my compulsions and im starting to string together better days! Still not great days or even good, but they are better!!! I have controlled my outward compulsions (googling, research, reassurance, checking) the past couple of days and felt the positive impact of that. But unfortunately, I am realizing that the rumination is still constant. My sexuality and relationship are the only two things constantly on my brain, and if they aren’t I freak out and wonder why im not thinking about them! Anyone have any advice on how to deal with the rumination. Sometimes I don’t even notice im doing it, but it’s taking up 90% of my day. Once I start to tackle this I think I may make some real big progress! Hope everyone is fighting today! ❤️

I ruminated too much this morning and got distressing mental images (and confirmation) which sent me spiraling again. How do I stop thinking about this and how do I get back to myself? I feel destroyed.
