@leokatieocdadhd: Honestly these helped wayyy more than I expected... not because any one of them โfixesโ OCD, but because they help me stay at a calmer baseline & make it easier for me to notice when OCD is taking over. Things like 3, 1, 5 & 7 help bring me back into my body or the present moment when I'm anxious and give me just enough space to choose what I do next instead of immediately obeying OCD's commands. Things like 2, 4, 6 & 8 help me feel calmer in my day to day and have the mental energy to actually be able to notice & resist compulsions. I try not to turn any of these into another rule I have to follow perfectly. Theyโre just little supports that make it easier to practice the bigger skill: letting anxiety be there without treating it like something I need to solve right now ๐ #ocd #rocd #ocdrecovery #intrusivethoughts #rumination
