I feel compelled to do something I really shouldn't do and I'm having a very hard time holding myself back. Not to worry, I don't want to hurt myself or anything (but I DO wonder if it might help calm me down). I suppose it could get me into some trouble, though.
Any suggestions for distraction? I'm running out of ideas.

I'm glad you're not going to hurt yourself. The topic of my therapy today was my use of shopping and food to distract myself, and they're fairly effective, but costly. My therapist suggested exercise and talking to people as an alternative, if that helps.
I was thinking of trying to direct my distracting obsessions into researching something thoroughly.
I have heard exercise and yoga help. I prefer going to chat and watching the conversation.
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.
((((Jammer))))
Is there someone you can call to help distract you?
