Coping Skills
Does anyone have any coping skills they really recommend or learned from therapy? I start therapy soon but until then I wanna learn how to manage this on my own.

I haven't had therapy for a while but the first time I did I remember documenting my compulsive thoughts and trying to come up with counteractive things to convince myself that it isn't true and that it is just a lie.

My mom is a professional therapist for 5 years now. She's said one of the best ways of coping with ocd is calling it out. Like saying "you're just ocd. " to it. Or whenever you get a thought thats like a what if thought. Say "oh that's just ocd" or u can even say "maybe? "

Addiction recovery...
Does anyone have experience of being in recovery from addiction and being around people that don't get it and they keep offering you drugs? It sets my anxiety off a lot and I start feeling overwhelmed. Just good coping strategies will do.

Techniques
Does anyone have any tips they can share as to what they do to prevent intrusive images from coming into their brain? Or when it happens how to cope?

Need some encouragement
I’ve been spiraling for days I can barely sleep. I worked so hard to get into grad school and now i’m gonna fail because I can’t focus on anything else. The fact that my real events range from years ago and recently make me feel like I’ve always been a bad person. I keep trying to understand my intentions I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m looking into starting therapy and medication soon but I need some advice on some healthy coping skills in the meantime.
