I have been diagnosed with mild to moderate OCD....I have having problems with constant ruminating thoughts. Am I in the right place? Any advice?

Hello Angel your therapist can help you come up with a plan for your OCD and there are Meds available as well for your OCD. Journaling sometimes helps yoga is also helpful for some people. Therapists generally work on trying to cut down the activity of the OCD by changing behaviors or other means of behavior therapy. There is thought stopping exercises as well that may be helpful. I hope the best for you angel . Take care Soidhoinia

Hi, anglesbreath, welcome to PC. OCD is actually an anxiety-based problem rather than personality disorder.

I would find 2-3 things to help "distract" me from thoughts that bother me. Or I'd try and look to see if there was something "behind" them that they were distracting me from that was the "real" problem. Do you have a therapist; are you taking any meds?
