A member asked:
I suffer with unwanted thoughts and compulsive actions again and again. i am on medication. please tell me some self help tips.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other options: I would consult with a therapist who specializes in helping to manage unwanted thoughts and actions. He/she can give you specific tips that are better geared toward your situation and what you are dealing with. In general, getting good sleep, physical exercise, and trying to reduce stress with things like yoga or meditation are good self-help tips to help with anxiety and its effects.
