Hello, the fact that you realise that you need to break out of this cycle of thoughts is a big step. first would be to note down what are your compulsive thoughts, you might be able to reason out the reason behing it then.

Hey One thing I wish to know before i suggest you anything, have you been diagnosed by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist for OCD? If yes medication and behavioural therapy consistently will be needed, also don’t try to “break it from ocd” because its a biological concern what we need to learn is how to manage it, rubber band,journaling,tracking of our thoughts and monitoring our behaviour is first step to manage it but am proud of how you have acceptance and will to work on this

Hi! Hope you are well. To provide personalised solutions to work on your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviour I would require few details to assess better. But don't worry I will surely provide few support strategies to help you. 1. When you feel the urge to do the compulsive act, at that very moment take a deep breath and resist doing it. 2. Try to focus on what you can see, hear, smell, taste or feel when you get the urge to do a compulsive act. This will help you to distract your mind.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time alone, and I’m starting to wonder if it's unhealthy to be alone for a long time. I enjoy my own company and it feels peaceful, but I don’t want it to negatively impact my mental health or social life. How much alone time is too much, and when does it start becoming unhealthy? Any advice or personal experiences would really help.
