I think so because yesterday I was ok and today I’m good, but the day before yesterday I was not ok. It’s very odd

I don’t really know what happened, I just was super upset that one day. I prayed that night to feel better and in the morning I did. (You don’t have to pray that’s just what I did) I just try to remember that I can make it through it, some days will be rough but that’s part of recovering. Trust me that day I felt like I was never going to get better but these past two days have been a blessing. I don’t know for sure if tomorrow will be good but I appreciate today for making me happier. Sometimes what helps me is just knowing what’s true, I know these thoughts feel real, but if they were true you wouldn’t get upset about them you would know they’re true. I don’t know if that helps but it helps me.❤️

Why do thoughts feel real? And what to do when they arrive? I know to accept but what does that look like

That’s something I don’t really know to be honest. I don’t know why they feel so real. They just do. They always pop up in my head and for a second I really do think they’re real, it makes me upset sometimes. What I try to do is just know, know in my heart that it’s not true. Also when it comes up don’t think about it to much, sometimes we get to much into our own heads. Just try to know when those thoughts pop up that it’s ocd.

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?

Feeling “normal” again
Anyone else feel that when they aren’t experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like I’ve 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 “get over” them I just can’t believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasn’t true or didn’t 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 didn’t know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.

POCD - Week of Hell
So I was doing good for about 5 months. I was going to therapy, practicing the skills, and for about the past month, I fell into a depression funk. The last week, however, has been a week of really loud OCD. I am in a constant state of anxiety and find myself doing compulsions. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced what I'm about to describe. I'm considering taking myself to the hospital, but my little boy's birthday party is this weekend and I don't want to miss it: I keep having this bad feeling like I actually want to do the bad things in my mind. I know OCD intrusive thoughts can tell you "I want to" but this just seems different - maybe it's OCD trying to come at me a new way. It's not like thoughts telling me "I want" it's like even when I tell myself I don't want to do the bad stuff, there's this nagging feeling telling me I really want to. I'm scared.
