My therapist said ocd is so complex even regular therapist don’t understand it which I get, cause it is SO confusing especially with “pure o” type thoughts But luckily we will get through this and people will get finding better ways to help this disorder!

I’m comforted that others understand the feelings that I’m talking about:) @lauren98 I totally get what you mean about people not knowing about this part of OCD. I’m hoping to research it in the future as part of my thesis, because the disorder is so complex and c

Yes. Im afraid when anxiety goes aaay depression and emptiness is all that will remain. Apparently there are other emotions though. Maybe one day well be reminded what they feel like.

I was trying to explain this to my Boyfriend and I felt like a lunatic. then I get all these what ifs like if I lived a thousand years ago would I act on these thoughts The only thing I can do to try and help is use laughter/comedy and replace the thought with how ridiculous lol but I get completely how upset what your expressing is

I feel better knowing it's not just me, I've been just like that for months that feel like a lifetime and I almost feel like I won't feel anything like I did and it makes me said.

Existing without anxiety?
Is this even a possibility? I'm not even sure if it's an OCD issue, GAD, or maybe a lack of something else, but I'm just constantly feeling off. Even if I'm not getting constant intrusive thoughts, I just feel on edge all the time? Is there anyone who's been able to overcome this? It bothers me so much 😭

Does anyone else experience this?
When I say I feel like I like a thought, I don’t mean the OCD is telling me like a thought or that I concluded that from a physical sensation. I mean, I genuinely feel like something in my brain lights up and it feels like I like it mentally. Whenever I hear people talk about liking thoughts (excitement, arousal), I always see things about groinals or heart flutters. Physical things. I don’t think I really ever see people talk about the mental sensation if this is even a thing. I just wanna know if anyone relates to this or has found an explanation for this because seeing it from an analytical point of view seems to help me sometimes. This is so, *so* especially hard for pocd themed thoughts :( Anyone relate?

OCD recovery
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
