I'm not an expert, but you wanting to have the anxiety back means you still have the anxiety, but just not the physical symptoms. I heard this is the hardest to treat, I'm at this phase also, the panic attacks have subsided and there is only minimal anxiety, so I worry that maybe this is my truth, but I know I don't like it. Then I'm having anxiety over not having anxiety. Maybe an expert can help.

It’s not weird to want the anxiety back. A lot of people struggle reaching that next stage where anxiety isn’t as prevalent. But it’s a good sign! I’m not sure why you’re repeating a mantra, but that sounds like a potential mental compulsion that could be continuing to drive these thoughts. Can you resist saying it? Can you let it go for awhile? Be patient. Habituation and healing take longer than anyone wants them too. You’re on the right track. Keep going.

I’ve looked up all about it, but it says people get anxiety because they aren’t having anxiety. And I don’t feel any anxiety.

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.

Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
