Coping Methods

I was looking around on the coping methods forum and I was wondering if anyone had any OCD coping methods they would like to share?

Video games, movies (especially light-hearted ones, or ones from childhood), reading (I usually get too sidetracked to read, but it's a distraction if you can.) Music, take a nap, get engrossed in work or a hobby.

Depends on the thing- if we're talking about an addictive behaviour- which, I'm sure, is somehow flavoured by OCD, since we do obsess- I'm usually just screwed.

Things like my fears of leaving the wrong things on, needing to check and recheck some things, then I try to decide I don't care. I don't care if I left the heater on, and the house burns down. I don't care if the machine at work isn't set right. I don't care about that pothole I hit and I'm not going back to check if it was a person, etc etc etc. Do the same thing with my harm OCD. Intentionally not caring, combined with partially ignoring the thoughts, as well as not trying to fight them, either... thoughts come, eventually they go....

Medical fears, of which I have a nearly infinite capacity for- well, try not to Google symptoms, and try not to listen to medical talk or shows. Pure avoidance, that one.
