After some time
After some time of not engaging with the thoughts I realize that yes it helps but It's slow although it's fine as long as they go away

Recognizing that the thoughts are thoughts only and not a reflection of our character is important. This was my experience as well with ERP. It's easy to want a change immediately but it just doesn't happen that fast, at least it didn't for me. That's great that you are already seeing a change from your practice and the skills you are developing. Keep up the good work

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

Desensitization?
Is anyone else sort of desensitized by their intrusive thoughts? I still get slight discomfort, and I don't like them, but I think I've been becoming numb to them in a way? It might just be a mental drain. I've been having an anxiety spike due to them for a month now.

?
Has anyone else gone months (like 1-3) feeling fine like no spiraling, just some overthinking and anxiety here and there. And not due to therapy or erp, just on their own.
