Don't know if this is healthy or not!!

I've found a couple of ways not to respond to the intrusive thoughts or responding to negative ruminating!!! And all I do is think this!!! Yesterday is gone, and I can't remember how bad I was!! so I'll just think I had a good day!! and just this makes me feel just now okay, but I think okay whatever I feel today, it doesn't matter, because tomorrow it doesn't matter!!! It kinda messes with my head a wee bit, but I'm holding on to it, and the other one that works is, and I've trained myself years to do this 95% works, and it's after 8 o'clock at night I switch off and don't worry, and then I allow myself to do whatever I want to do.

I thought I'd share, because maybe this could help someone.

I'll do anything to get a break from the routine, and I have to say, my anxiety has dropped a lot.

And as for my health issues! Which my OCD is clinging onto, I tell myself, I'm getting sorted, and the pain is mostly stress related and muscle tension!!

And my other OCD spike, is my partner, when it happens, I recognise it, hold on to it!! Not respond, and carry on as though it hasn't happened, not letting it change my mood, and it's passing really quick.

I hope this makes sense, and maybe someone can get so hope from this, I'm just happy I'm dealing with this, I just hope in a healthy way!!! 😅
