Relapse/flare ups
How often is normal to have relapses/flare ups of OCD? I go weeks with nothing or managing it then it can cripple me for weeks at a time.

I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
Anyone have any good coping strategies when they have an ocd flare up or attack?
Sometimes I notice my intrusive thoughts cause me to spiral and sometimes not. I've been practicing ERP for quite a while so it's a bit easier for me to not spiral. But I wonder why that happens. Does anyone else have it? Also I'm on medication idk if that plays a role.
