Yes. It is a strange feeling when you can’t identify what is real from what is brought on by OCD. Just remind yourself that you trust yourself and you don’t need any answers right now. That’s what I do and it helps most of the time!

All I know is that I get unwanted intrusive thoughts too...it sucks but you're not alone

I've also kind of been struggling with some borderline depersonalization issues, and I too was wondering if it was related to OCD. It's a weird disconnect.

Still going on, really don’t know what’s happening. In theory my intrusive thoughts not causing me to react should be a good thing but it’s not. Something just feels really off.

@J6 I guess so. I think what’s happening is my OCD is trying to convince me that if I’m not reacting then that means it’s true. I think that’s what stressing me out

So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?

I’m really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldn’t try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but I’ve been having feelings of like I’m not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I haven’t felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how I’ve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I don’t want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like I’m really scared it’s that it’s I don’t love him cause I don’t want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like I’m not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now I’m freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I don’t love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I don’t care at all and this has happened but like worst it’s ever been and then other times I’m like I do care I do still feel. I’m just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? 😭😭

I think I’m in the recovery stage as my thoughts have settled so much & I only get intrusive thoughts on occasion and get worse only when I’m anxious, but the quietness in my brain feels so weird & I feel awful saying that because all I wanted was the thoughts to stop. This is the most quiet it’s been it’s over 7 months, so to go from non stop thoughts for a long time to quietness I don’t know how to take it. Has anyone else felt like this in recovery
