I was wondering what your tics are, I didn’t know OCD had them but now that I think about it, I have random shivers even when I’m not cold. I’ve found grounding myself and deep breaths helps.

OCD isn't correlated with tics. You can have one without the other, having both isn't related. Shivers aren't a typical tic, you can also have shivers even when not cold 😊. Myself, I have tourettes and OCD and know they are not correlated. As far as grounding for ocd, I find allowing myself to count up to a certain number helps. Like allowing myself to count 10 squares, lines, colors, ext. Helps to focus my mind.

I get a song stuck in my head. If there's a thought or rumination bothering me, I try to get a song to take that place and drown it out

I take a medication that's quite helpful for mine.
