When they came, what were you doing? Any idea what the trigger was (if there was one)? And when they came, what did you do? Either mentally or externally, did you do something to “face it” or cope with it?
Just working from home, I hadn’t done my exposure yet, it’s a scary one and I’m afraid of thoughts continuing to come to me after doing my exposure
Just had the same thing over the past 2 days, been having a great few weeks and then hit me all of a sudden. Know that you are not alone and we are all here to help and share experiences.
The devil is sure busy this season
I was doing SO great for the past 2 weeks (holidays) and then yesterday got some stressful news about gyms shutting down (the gym is my outlet) and my OCD came back full force with a newish theme 😭 it sucks
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.
