it just feels true right now but I just feel numb and like I don't even care to do compulsions. My boyfriend also isn't treating me well right now which makes stuff worse wahhh

@Gerardo02 So there’s a way to get back to how we used to be? I just need a sense of hope right now.
@Gerardo02 Are you in therapy or anything of the sort ? I don’t have any ocd connections and I can’t afford therapy and don’t have any health insurance at the moment. I’ll check out that person on YouTube!
@Gerardo02 I looked him up as soon as you said something about him. Thank you
@Gerardo02 I am actually! It doesn’t bother me at all. He makes a lot of good points that I’m really relating to so far.
I relate to the “I don’t even care to do compulsions” like I’m so tired of doing them at this point
Doorspike,??
@KathyOCDland sometimes folks use the term “backdoor spike” to describe a spike in OCD thoughts that occurs when anxiety around the thoughts is lessened. it commonly occurs when a person hits their stride in treatment, thus, it sneaks up on them like a visitor entering through the back door of a house (or at least that’s how i visualize it!) I’m experiencing it right now (it’s taking the form of “meta OCD”) and what’s helping me is a reminder from my therapist to use response prevention messages (i.e. “this may or may not be an OCD though, but I don’t need to figure it our right now.”) and using DBT mindfulness skills of describing (while I listen to music or do breathing exercises) and labeling (“that thought is back” “im thinking about that again”) before turning my attention elsewhere.
@kendallkhaleesi omg *thought and *out lol
