Does anyone else feel like no matter how much you recover from OCD that those random panic/ ocd attacks always feel scary like it’s the first time? Like I feel so defeated when I have them. Like I’ve been through this for years and it’s still scary to me. It’s like a bully that never gets old. And don’t attach a theme to it 🤦🏾♀️.
yes:(
all the time
Right! One week you are like! Sheesh I feel so good! These thoughts are dumb and you tell yourself to remind you how good it feels in these normal days THEN BOOM OCD comes and it’s like the good days didn’t matter and you are back believing the thoughts. 🤧
@Omarion0322 exactly where i’m at rn with my mind and i hate it cause this was subsided for like a week and half and it would come but i worked through it fine and it was gone but now it wants to attack
What keeps me going is pushing through the days in knowing there are good days ahead! It’s hard but distract yourself as much as you can! I watch movies n shows or go workout
@Omarion0322 i’ve been knitting, painting, walking, watching tv, even journaling which helps a lot
I can relate to these moments. There are times when I sit listening to the BS in my head or I can make the decision to let it play in the background while I go about my day. I accept the uncertainty that if something is going to happen, then let it but until it does, I have things to do!!!
@Dee C Periodddddd! Love that
@Dee C I need to keep telling myself this! ♥️
