I second this, I also suffer from ocd symptoms and I've been diagnosed with adhd and generalized anxiety. Girl, it's a *battle*. There are SO many studies now showing that heavy exercise helps treat adhd's intrusive thoughts and that's how I'm *finally* getting to hack this and work every day. Also, life simplification. I have a tendency to push myself, and take on way too much- then having a disorganized, stressful life helps create the need for all those intrusive thoughts and worries because well..there is legitimate need to try to keep up with multiple details, problems and concerns you've created, and life is busy and distracting for everyone today even neurotypicals.
With the pandemic, I am so, SO grateful my life turned out the way I did and I made the move out here already. I get to keep cycling around, walking around my lake and city without running into crowds of people fucking *everywhere*. I'm a cardio/endorphin junkie hehe. It's good for my hypermobile joints and scoliosis, the pressure and tensions in my body get released causing higher circulation and oxygenation which is so good for connective tissues as well as neurology. Even if the pools are closed rn
