Hi all 🙂
My lovely intrusive thought spiral has left me feeling completely beaten down and exhausted, and I cannot do much of anything right now, plus my new medication has killed it even further. Do you guys have any recommendations for a low energy activity or a low stakes show that will help distract me from the thoughts at my limited energy level?

Hello @Invi, I'm sorry to hear that the intrusive thoughts have left you feeling so exhausted, I can relate to the feeling well.
For some gentle activities what about things like colouring, diamond art, painting, writing etc. As for a TV show i find that the big bang theory is a good distraction for me.

Hello @Invi can I suggest a warm shower, light a candle and then listen to a podcast or watch a TV show that you have seen before. I have heard the repetition decrease cognitive load and it can bring back comforting associated feelings from when you originally heard or viewed it.
