I absolutely do that. I’ve been thinking about that a lot and Kyle was talking about it on his live yesterday. He said it sounds like mental checking, like checking your emotional status and I think of it as like your brain is worrying that it needs to stress about something when it isn’t. Putting it into these categories helps me on its own. Exposing yourself to your current emotions is very helpful because they can be triggers on its own. Lmk how you feel about that!

Thanks for your response- that make sense. I have had the same obsession for a whole month and I think this is why- and what do you mean by Kyle and his live? Have you had any luck keeping yourself from doing this? It’s been working well so far for me this morning.

@Anonymous Kyle is a peer support guy and you can receive links to all of the lives from other peer support people. Realizing that I’m having compulsions is VERY helpful. Checking mental state is a huge one and that is something that you have to avoid doing as a compulsion which is definitely hard. It’s absolutely getting easier with practice though.
