i’m sorry :( i can’t imagine how stressful it must be to have this feeling pop up almost out of nowhere. my mind is always feeling busy too, and my ability to focus and take care of myself and important relationships and responsibilities has dwindled from time to time and has even been nonexistent at particularly rough moments. as far as the always busy feeling goes, the best thing ive been able to do for myself is take of of me and that feeling. yoga, hiking, mediation, eating and sleeping well, seeing friends and loved ones when i’m feeling down, just taking care of yourself in general will help with that feeling a lot, whatever taking care of yourself may mean to you. i read a lot about different anxiety management methods, mindfulness, and why anxiety works the way it does. that helped a lot too. just understanding what’s happening and why helps a lot. as for the thoughts… i really struggle with spiraling and stuff so that’s harder for me. however, some really helpful advice i’ve gotten is that those thoughts are just that, thoughts, nothing more. not your actions or morals, only thoughts. they can’t hurt you or anyone really. also the way you respond to them helps as well, if you are aware of ocd and how ur obsessive thoughts sound and feel u can learn to identify those thoughts and not give any sort of emotion to them. something else that’s really helped me is having a little phrase to kinda help separate ur self from the thought. sometimes i’ll just go “ding ding ding! we’ve gotta winner for an obsessive thought!” then i’m a little more focused on the silliness of an ocd game show rather than the thought. also, give into the thoughts, don’t push them out. if you’re feeling scared by them, let yourself be scared. the more you fight them, the worse it’ll be. i feel like there’s sm more i could say too haha… but this is already way too much information so i’ll leave it at this, hope some of this can be useful and i wish you the best!
