Feels like I am accepting the thoughts when I don't have a panicked response. It's like I feel like I want the thought even though I never would because of lack of anxciety. Assuming this is part of ocd?
Been through that stage I get groinal response with no anxiety or feeling distress about it anymore, I feel your pain
@tuchi Yeah it's so weird
Yes. It's often due to habituation which means you're improving. NOCD has a good article on "backdoor spikes" which talks about when you stop feeling anxious when you have intrusive thoughts/feelings/sensations. Sometimes the lack of response makes us anxious but it sounds like you're kind of accepting it for what it is, which is great!
@ReadyForImprovement Mines been messing with me, was in the mood to have sx, I was trying not to because I didn't want a g*y person images will pop up and it would mess me up like last time theirs this particular image of the guy that always pops up when I'm about to have do something or about c*m and I always mess things up the worst part of it is that it feels like real deal or way best than the real deal, call me crazy but that's how it feels, I was afraid that it would feel so good as last time, when I was trying to resist the image pop up and I got something down there a little something tho and I felt confused was it because I thought about how it happened last time and it got me erected? Honestly I know this sounds crazy but l'm confused about it or was it because my pants with too tight. I didn't feel anxious about it or disgusted, was just confused and tried to reply that moment to see if it would happen again to know if I'm really into that but I didn't happen again, this happens this afternoon and I have been trying to figure out what happened
@tuchi šÆ
@ReadyForImprovement Thank you!
but when there's no anxiety that mean you don't have the urge to do that it's just thought .........I'll tel to my self if I don't have anxiety that mean I become stronger then the thought
So Iāve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, Iām getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insaneš¢
I feel intrusive thoughts Without anxiety but thoughts disturbing (after 5,6 months harm ocd) Why that feel without anxiety? It's common, progress or any other issue? Anyone have same situation?
