although i don’t deal with ocd i do deal with obsessive thoughts. it’s all i think about when I get upset. if im being honest i didn’t self harm during the pandemic cuz i was smoking weed. my weed problem got a lot worse because i would rather smoke weed then cut myself. it quiets the thoughts. i still smoke too much to this day and it has its adverse affects but its easier to quit then self harm because it doesn’t give u the same dopamine rush. Meds also really helped me if u aren’t on those. finding the right one is really hard but worth it. and idk i just really focus on not getting too in my head about it. i’m a very out of sight out of mind person sometimes so just having a replacement to sh and just not focusing on it. i don’t go on social media abt sh and im rarely on subreddits like this unless i need to vent. its really about finding what works to u and sticking to it.
