Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!
Thanks @outlander. It was a pretty nice Sunday, although I'm mentally spent now. I had some wine with dinner so I can't take my sleeping pills tonight. Here's hoping the darkness isn't too bleak tonight 🌜⭐

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!
I watched a movie with my husband. I've been using an app to help do meditation to sleep, so will try that.
I hope you get a good sleep tonight. A new week tomorrow! ⭐🌻

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!
Well this morning has been tough. The thoughts are back and they're quite different and upsetting. I hate my OCD brain. I have Mondays off work for a while, so I'm going to take myself to the movies to distract myself.

Thanks @outlander. Distraction is what I need. My mind is scary right now.
Hope you have a calm Monday 💕💕💕

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!
I know what you mean @Molliex .. same here. 💕
Hoping you can find worthwhile and enjoyable activities today to keep your thoughts at bay.
Ive been out giving some of my garden plants a much needed drink this morning. And topping up the water and feeding my fish in the garden pond. And giving my budgies in the aviary some yummy treats. They were particularly friendly today.
