dannyefcfan Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Hi, new member here. I suffer from OCD and currently in therapy. However, the rumination aspect of OCD has not been something that has caused me too much trouble. Well until now... I started to obsess over a certain topic, a topic that I won't be able to get an answer to for over a week. It's been driving me nuts and I don't have any coping methods to deal with this aspect of OCD. I don't see my therapist for a few days, so I was wondering if anyone here has any coping methods to deal with it? I've looked on youtube and I see things that makes sense, but I try it once and then forgot about it the next hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Cub Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 If it's any consolation, Danny, much like you I have been ruminating over issues, trying to find answers to things I won't find answers to. I know how pesky it is. In my case, it helps to recognise such unhelpful habits and distract yourself with something that makes you a little happier, though I know this is easier said than done. Just give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Remember to do what makes you happy.
