...See more First of all i like to just close my eyes and use the other senses like hear and touch. Like for example when youre in a car and the speed or the engine makes you overwhelmed , close your eyes and just breathe . When you do that the brain focuses on the sensations and the thoughts go away . The second one is to tap the soft part of your palms And breath while doing it . You can also hold a comfort item , put on a comfort show , write in a journal but these usually dont work for me . Last but not least, cold water or a coild shower really help and try to remember that this is all temporary , maybe film every attack you have so you can go back and watch the signs . If you feel an attack start remember the last time an recall how the last time went . Stay safe!! I love you!!

...See more I had an intrusive thought yesterday and i feel horrible since then . Its wasnt like a routine , like close the frige 5 times or check on the door again . It was more like a disturbing sexual one for me . I barely get them . I did get them alot in my childhood but than i told it to my mom and it stopped . Idk why . It came now and then ,but i didnt know it was ocd . I wanna get through but im so scared . Im deeply scared . I dont know what to do with those thoughts. What if i get one in public? Or when im with my friends . Usually i get them alone . Is that a trigger? I feel like i was forced to do things as i child by myself . I didnt explore my sexuality as i should . In like a chil, exciting way . It was never exciting to me . My thoughts forced me to expiriment . Idk if that makes sence , but it totally does to me .

...See more So ive recently found my self struggling with food . I like to control it , and when i fail to do that i feel upset . I think my dad has somethink to do with that . Growing up i really enjoyed food , any forms of it , especially sweets i sometimes ate "big" amounds of food, (not in an unusual way i dont really know how to explain it) . I didnt have a stop . I just loved food . ( i didnt have any medical condition i was and am very healthy ) Until my dad sat down and had a "conversation" with my sister , while i was literally next to him , about the fact , on his words, that i was bulimic, a sugar junkie, obsessed with food, and probably gonna have diabetes and die by the age of 15 . He didnt even spoke a word to me , even tho i did. Like i was some kind of an animal. It was so traumatic . I didnt really talked about it w anyone . So maybe , even tho i didnt try to control the amound of food i eat or really thought about it after this incident , subconsciously it effected me ??

Anxiety over a sport

 January 2nd
...See more So my dad really wants me to do atheism . He thinks its the base of a healthy and care - free life . 2 years ago i joined a sports club i did track and field . Its a very stressful sport and we were divided by groups depending our age . I didn't have any friends and there was a specific group of girls who bullied me . Than covid came . And i stoped going . I was doing good at the time . One day my dad yelled at me for "sitting in my room" all day and told me to start going to practice again . I tried to explain i didnt wanna go anymore because i didnt have any friends and i found it very stressful and hated it . He took my phone away and ignored me till i declined again , beacuse i had to study for a test . He started yelling again and this time it was worse . I did go but i kinda minimilized it into 1 or 2 times a week . My mom knew that i was hated going and somedays she told my dad i went but i stayed home . Now that we have the finals , he lets me stay and study , but when the finals end he wants me to start again. I really dont want to . What do i do?
