Although that was in the very beginning of my recovery, i still have obsessive thoughts from time to time. Mark In Idaho once told me when i was having derealization, to get busy with something like doing the dishes or taking a shower to get my mind off of it. And that really helped, Maybe try doing the same Marina22?

I know I posted thanks about this but it feels so good to know someone else did this too. It doesn't happen to me as much as it used to, but is still quite bothersome. I like the suggestion about doing other things. I will try it.
