does anyone have any recommendations for how to exercise with ocd?? everytime i try to exercise my mind tends to wander to my themes and i end up anxious. does anyone else experience this and know a way of keeping the mind busy from wandering?
I would also recommend some noise! Also perhaps a form of exercise that keeps the mind more engaged— I.e. kickboxing or weight lifting, something with reps that you’re counting. I think long stretches of cardio - like running - would make it harder to avoid the thoughts.
