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? "
Does anyone have any suggestions for coping skills for health concern ocd or contamination ocd? I’m trying really hard to not let my compulsions get the best of me but it’s so hard to not let the anxiety absolutely and completely spiral.
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.
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?
