You are seeking reassurance You deserve the help even in the days you don’t feel like taking it, the days you feel everything or the days like today that you don’t feel nothing you still deserve to be treated and your body deserves it too, keep going! Is about consistency !

Thank you. I think youre right about the reassurance part unfortunately. I just have trouble applying things like Erp when I just randomly numb out. Its like I want my anxiety to return.

I feel the same at the moment, makes me question if it was ROCD at all

It's funny how we panic when we have thoughts and feelings and even when there's none. Can you feel it as a state of calmness ? Maybe try to focus on the present, with mindfulness. You don't need your intrusive thoughts to live your life, so just live it. Emotions will come back quickly. I don't think you really need to see a therapist for not having thoughts. Enjoy the calm and take care

Its just an issue for me because it makes me doubt that I even have ocd, or that I have gotten over it. When in fact I had a therapy session today and got diagnosed with it. Its like it discourages me from seeking help.

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

For the past like 4 months, my ROCD has been getting worse and worse. I’ve been on lexapro for about 1.5 months now and it’s basically gotten rid of my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. But now I’m stuck with the constant feeling of not loving my bf. At this point I can’t even recognize him as someone I love. Like I will stare at him and try to feel something or recognize him but I feel nothing. It feels like I don’t love him anymore, but I don’t want to give up. I don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t know if it’s still the ocd and the medication is making it worse or if I’m truly just falling out of love with him. While not being on the verge of a panic attack and ruminating 24/7 is great, i feel like I’ve lost my identity and my emotions.

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
