When you are ruminating over something over & over & trying to distract yourself & that doesnt work & you are just plain stuck, take a big bown fill it with ice water & plunge your face into about 5-10 seconds. (youlll learn how long works for you). When my dr told me this I think I rolled my eyes. LOL But it REALLY works. Now I have even read somewhere that this "trick" has been monitored on a pet scan & it has SHOWN the difference this makes in an OCD brain. Isnt that incredible? So simple & no drugs involved & it works. I guess it sort of "rewires" the brain, is how I heard my internist out it.
But the bottom line is that I when something is stuck in my head, its just STUCK. No matter what it is. Thought that plays over & over, handwashing . Whatever. And this works for ME. If it works for me it will work for anybody. lol
Post away. I hope it does help somebody else. Im not sure why I never thought of posting it before. But it REALLY WORKS!!
Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.
