oh no
I tried to get better but still have intrusive thoughts, which feel real. But I'm not more anxious than before but get a little panicked. My brain feels like "normal". Idk what to do

Hi, keep doing the work of recovery ❤️. It’s a process, but I promise it works! It’s normal to have thoughts pop in your head, allow them to be there, and move forward with what you value. For me this looks like, “oh there’s that nagging thought, it’s OCD, I’m not going there, I’m moving towards what I value) I may have to do this 50 times a day. However, at the end of the day, I’ve done a lot of things I value, regardless of what my OCD tried to distract me with. It’s ok to have thoughts pop in your head, it’s ok to feel nervous. The important thing is to move forward with your life and not resist, argue with, try to get rid of the thoughts. Take care!

I been dealing with intrusive to the point it feels like I think them idk what to do I feel like a monster.
Anxiety is much better but intrusive thoughts have reared their ugly head again. Thing is they don’t scare me but they seem like they should have meaning since I’m not anxious like I used to be!
