Finding peace amidst temporary obsession

Hello everyone. I’m a 21-year-old woman and I’ve been dealing with temporary obsession disorder. It’s been a struggle and has caused me a lot of anxiety and stress. I’ve been having a hard time focusing on anything else and it’s taken a toll on my overall well-being. However, I’ve been working on finding ways to manage it and I have found some techniques that have been helpful for me. I’ve been trying to practice mindfulness and redirect my thoughts whenever I feel myself getting too caught up in my obsessions. It’s not easy, but I’m trying to remind myself that this is just a temporary phase and I can overcome it. I’ve also been seeking support from friends and family, which has been incredibly comforting. I know I’m not alone in this struggle, and I’m determined to find peace amidst it. If anyone else is dealing with something similar, I would love to hear about your experiences and what has helped you cope. Let’s support each other on this journey to healing.
