I personally don't. I think it comes when you're able to understand how to deal with your obsessions once they arise. ERP is a super important part of life post-recovery.

I don't have any advice, but I feel the same way. Life changes trigger OCD symptoms for me, too. I guess the only way I've handled it is with therapy.

Whenever there are changes in my life my OCD gets work. I tend to cling even harder to my “just right” OCD thoughts. I try to just remind myself that I will be okay just like I always am and ride through the wave.

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!
