I always seem to ruminate over every intrusive thought or anything else that bothers me. I carefully analyze my feelings when I have these thoughts, and I always wonder why: Why do I feel this way? Why did I have that thought? etc. After torturing myself like this, I realized that my compulsion (ruminating) was always making my anxiety worse. My reason for ruminating is to find the "deeper" reason for me thinking, acting or feeling this way, but I realized that ruminating was fruitless. Still, it's hard to just stop. Anxiety has also messed up my body. I'm feeling a lot more fatigued, and my appetite has decreased. I'm trying to find a therapist (kind of difficult with quarantine going on), but until then, what're some tips for coping with OCD? Two tips I know are positive thinking and stopping compulsions (ruminating).
