Huge setback, emotional setback
I know its because this stressful week, in high stress ocd can come back, i was emotional this week and i didnt dealt with that in the right way but i just entertained the emotions and instead of processing, i vented and fed the negative emotions. Now im feeling soo bad, im on a vacation this weekend but i cant enjoy it cause all i feel is i shouldnt be here, its like i want to cry and i react to everything emotionally. Thoughts are horrible, every thought comes with a strong emotion and i try to disregard and live life but it gets stronger, then i feel like im avoiding, i accept that its here but i still cant be in present and enjoy things and after all this i end up doing avoiding behaviours. Im angry cause 3 days ago i was really good, i realized how i need to deal with emotions, i wasnt afraid of them but now im going round and round, the more i try to be in present the more i fight with them. And idk what should i do now cause if i disregard or ignore,im afraid im avoiding and all i have in my mind is that i do recovery work badly, and im afraid it gets worse, and if i let it be and accept how i feel, i buy and believe the thoughts and i entertain them. I tried yesterday to ignore the stories but then i felt guilt, anxious, depressed cause i avoid it and it will be worse. This is why i started feel soo bad cause i deal with one emotional problem that i can handle bit then bc of the stories my mind make i get another 3 feelings and because i try to not buy it, it gives me 5 another one... instead of dealing the original emotion, im there feeling all kinds of emotions, idk how its lossible to ignore it and live your life... how should i do recovery work with these around? Im dissapointed cause i couldve deal with emotions 3 days ago(not months or years... 3 days ago) but bc of stressful things i did fall back and its like everything i learned it got deleted....
