What is exactly giving into OCD?

My last and almost life long theme/sub-theme largely subsided recently and my ocd felt like it wasnât even an issue. Then I went on winter break from uni and being alone made my mind come up with a whole new topic to obsess over. TLDR on my fears, my advisor wouldnât email me back for a while about signing up for classes so my mind started to worry âwhat if he doesnât in time and you canât enroll this semester and you lose this whole life you just built and all these new friendsâ So when that issue was resolved my mind found other scarier ways I could be uprooted from my current life and friends that Iâve grown so attached to. Then my mind remembered back when I was struggling with false memories and scrupulosity and I essentially made a post on a forum 2 and a half years ago saying I did something or was convinced I did something that I never actually did. Now Iâve been spiraling about someone finding it reporting me and I either get seen as a horrible person or arrested or something over something I never actually did but âadmittedâ to out of fear of going to hell. My mind wonât let it go and keeps finding new reasons for it to be âvalidâ âlogicalâ or even inevitable. I feel like itâs just hanging over my head and I can never rest easy. Especially when I try to focus on my daily tasks or plan for the future I get this horrible flair up of âwhy plan for the future when this could come back in that future and you get uprooted from all of itâ my mind wonât rest without certainty being uprooted wonât happen but certainty doesnât exist, at least not with ocd. This sucks and I miss being care free.

Anyone else feel that when they arenât experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like Iâve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I âget overâ them I just canât believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasnât true or didnât apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didnât know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.
