Hi unknown, sounds like a back door spike from your OCD. It doesn’t like that you feel less stress/anxiety so it is casting new doubt about not being stressed in the hopes you will feel more anxiety and feed it what it needs. OCD is devious like that, won’t even let you enjoy a lull in anxiety/stress.

This happens to me a lot with ROCD. If I have a day where the anxious thoughts/doubts don't make me literally almost throw up from anxiety then I get scared that I'm not "anxious enough" so that means I dont care about my boyfriend.

I feel the one thing that affirms that you are not that way would be that you had to question whether you care enough or not, which i feel is the biggest sign that u actually do. Because imo people that genuinely don't care, would never question that about themselves, and if they do, it would only prove that they really do care 😊

Not doing great
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

I feel anxious
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…

The phrase "it's not that deep"
Today I've let myself go down a huge rabbit hole regarding this phrase and it's stressing me out. Sometimes, yes, it is that deep. But other times, it really isn't. I keep finding myself torn between these two ideals. I've been seeing all these videos regarding the rise of anti-intellectualism and the anti-woke mob, all that. These videos make me extremely worried about cancel culture and moral guilt, and they had me rethinking every morally wrong, gross, questionable thing or thought I ever had. I saw many comments saying that yes everything is that deep and it feels like my mind is on constant security and asking myself "what would the internet think about the things I've thought of or may have done?" On one hand, I feel like if I say "it's not that deep", I feel like a hypocrite or a bad person or an idiot. But on the other hand if I say "it is that deep", my OCD begins to spiral and analyze everything about myself. It's not healthy to overanalyze everything but it's also not healthy to ignore bad things. It's very stressful Does anyone relate to this?
