Relapsing - why do I forget
When you feel good again, after a hard period of time, do you easily forget how bad the hard period was?

i absolutely do. i think your brain does it on purpose to protect you.
Yes
I do that too.
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?
When I talk about how terrible I used to be to my girlfriend it makes me feel like I’m gonna do it again which I don’t wanna do and it scares me and then I get intrusive thoughts and feelings about it doing it but I don’t want to, weird I know.
So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget
