You need to accept that the thoughts are there. If you give them power over you it will only make it worse. Yes you might be the thing you are scared of, but that’s just a thought. Just because you think it could happen, doesn’t mean it will
This is a great time to actually use this as an exposure! Do not distract, let the thoughts be thoughts and continue on with whatever you need to do! I’m dealing with something literally right now as we speak that I can relate but need to be stronger!
You got this!*
I will add pull yourself into reality by noticing your environment. Let all the thoughts and feelings come and go but be present in what is really going on.
You got me this!
I fidget!
Please do a blood test to see if you have MTHFR (Methyl Tetra Hydra Folate Reductase), it’s a process where we don’t absorb B12 and Folate like we should (and maybe even B6) Start taking methyl-cobalmin, and methyl folate, and B6. If you still have a lot of problems start getting B12 shots, either Methyl B12 or Hydroxy B12,if you can’t get your regular doctor to do the shots go to a Naturopath that will do B12 shots. God Bless
@Anonymous Seeking Health has some good Methyl-Cobalmin and Hydroxy-Cobalmin tablets. Also Methyl Folate.
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
