Plz I need ANSWERS GUYS WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF THE THOUGHT DOESNT BOTHER ME ANYMORE I RLLY DONT THINK ITS “RECOVERING” BC U CANT RECOVER JUST IN SECONDS U HAVE TO DO ERP THERAPY IM DO CONFUSED HELP

It is a sign of recovery and that can happen without erp. That is how I got over some obsessions. They just went away and didn't bother me anymore and I never even been to therapy for OCD. You questioning and doubting your recovery is where OCD attacked again.

You're now anxious about "not being anxious enough"! That's called a backdoor spike; your OCD isn't allowing you to feel better. When you're anxious about the thought, that isn't good. When you're not anxious about it, that is good. But somehow you've got anxious about that too ? You worry it's true even when you do feel bothered by the thought. And you worry it's true when you don't feel bothered by it. That's the paradox of your OCD ?

This is happening to me! today I woke up fine and Im not scared of my thoughts but Im scared that that means I dont love my boyfriend anymore

And the things is I have never done ERP,I only tried it once last week but never again and I today just feel a little better. I have not gone to a professional either so it scares me that I have accepted this as my reality

This just means those thoughts no longer have power over you. This is a win. Soon your brain will stop sending them to you :)

Guys are u sure about this cuz yes ik the thoughts are no more bothering me but I don’t feel like before I feel like I’m still in the ocd

Lollol

Ive experienced this whilst recovering, I started to obsess over not being bothered about my past obsessions and what that might mean but as said above it is just ocd trying to worm its way back in because you've already made a victory. Obsessions lose their power when we confront them or accept them and accept the uncertainty of them coming true. Maybe u did this subconsciously who knows but either way, if a thought no longer bothers you - that sounds gd and like progress to me :)

U did erp therapy?
