HBO’s hospital drama, The Pitt, has devoted significant screen time to highlighting mental illness and substance abuse among healthcare providers, and the stigma associated with seeking help. We must work to end the stigma, and to remind those suffering in silence that help is available. If you need immediate assistance, call or text 988 to be connected with the national su***de and crisis lifeline. You are not alone.

People often engage in rumination, e.g. excessive worry, as an attempt to control events or people that they fundamentally cannot. If you find yourself worrying excessively about a situation or relationship in a way that does not move you closer to solving a problem, you may be engaging in rumination. Rumination can happen across different anxiety and related disorders, and is most commonly associated with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

John Cena stunned pro wrestling fans when he ended the last match of his career by tapping out. If you caught the match, you may have noticed the half smile that crept across his face at the end. He didn’t acquiesce, give up, or quit. He radically accepted the reality that his storied career was coming to an end, and made the decision to tap out on his own terms.

Radical acceptance is not approval, nor is it resignation. It’s the decision to not engage in a struggle with reality that cannot be changed. When we accept reality for what it is, rather than insist it be some way that it cannot, it frees us to make better decisions, and to turn suffering that feels unbearable into pain that is manageable.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the viral meme about “letting the intrusive thoughts win.” As an OCD therapist, I have an important message for you! Those memes are not about intrusive thoughts, which by definition, are unwanted, distressing, and not acted upon. Have questions? Let us know in the comments!

It can be uncomfortable to sit with uncertainty. Often, our minds respond by generating worst case scenarios. Learning to tolerate uncertainty without foreclosing on a conclusion is a big part of cognitive behavioral treatments for different anxiety and related disorders.

We've all been there. The next day is filled with to dos, you're tired, and know you need sleep. Yet no matter how hard you try, it's not happening. The more you try to fall asleep, the more pressure you put on yourself. This can turn a biological process into something that triggers anxiety and nervous system arousal, making sleep even more difficult.
If you're lying awake for longer than 15 minutes, get out of bed, preferably out of your bedroom entirely, and do something boring until you feel tired. Do your best to avoid activities involving screens, or that are likely to be activating. Then return to bed in a better state to let biology take over.

If sleeplessness is more than occasional, and/or significantly interfering in your life, look for a licensed mental health professional with expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

As the Northeast of the United States digs out from yet another winter storm, it’s hard to imagine that Spring begins in 24 days! People with Seasonal Affective Disorder experience depressive episodes in the winter. Exposure to specially made UV light boxes first thing in the morning have been demonstrated to reduce symptoms of seasonal depression, and improve sleep quality. UV light therapy is contraindicated in those with Bipolar Disorder, as it can trigger manic episodes.

While you don’t have control over the initial thought that triggered the worry or rumination, you can learn to control it. Mindfulness training is a great place to start!

Fear and avoidance of certain numbers or days can occur as a symptom of OCD, and also specific phobia. Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the Latin name for phobia of Friday the 13th.

Catastrophizing is a specific type of cognitive distortion, common across many different anxiety disorders. When we overestimate the likelihood of something bad happening, and underestimate our ability to cope with it if it did, anxiety grows. Taking steps to decatastrophize can reduce your anxiety in the moment, and, over time, replace catastrophic thinking with more balanced thoughts.

After acknowledging the worse case scenario, ask yourself, what’s the best thing that could happen? In between these diametrically opposed anchor points you’ll find the most realistic outcome. Ask yourself, if the worst did happen, how would you cope with it? Not would you like it, be happy about it, or embrace it, but how would you cope?
