Are there ebbs and flows to OCD or anxiety. Last week there were periods of times I was feeling better. Moments. Times where the intrusive thoughts didn’t bother me and I didn’t had riddling anxiety. Now it’s back and I need help

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

Any advice

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.
