If you have multiple OCD rituals or “games” as I like to call them, have you ever decided to focus all of your OCD energy onto ONE main theme? Just to quiet the others?
Something like counting every calorie you consume and subtracting every calorie you burn while walking, tracking it all in a food journal or diary. Have you noticed the rest of your OCD rituals take a step back because your are so focused on the one you are purposely putting all your energy into?
I ask this because the OCD always seems to need a place (or places) to set up camp. It’s always moving from one theme to the next, even digging up old ones when it runs out of material. What if you give it its own game to focus on? Instead of waiting for it to do what it always does, find repetitive games to drive you nuts and get you angry.
Give it something first. Beat it to the punch.
