I've definitely been through this- and I honestly ( in my opinion) think its because you have been obsessing for so long your brain kinda just shuts down. I find that focusing on the fact that you cant feel anything at all, and wondering why the thoughts arent there is a backdoor spike of sorts. What I do is recognize "hey, not feeling great right now, but I'm going to just focus on something else". I'd watch tv, do a craft, play a game, anything that is a distraction for my brain. Its hard, but it does get better! I hope this is somewhat helpful. I'm still learning but been dealing with ROCD for a year now and it truly does get better with time, and work. ❤️

@Anonymous In my experience OCD comes and goes in intensity. I have been in the place of not feeling anything or having symptoms many times. OCD is a cycle. I remember when lack of feelings like this made me doubt if I had OCD. My brain gets to a point during my OCD cycles that it just gets worn out and cant continue the same intensity. Distractions can cause this. OCD is just so unique to each person and it tailors itself off of so many factors. Usually when I catch myself in a state of not feeling my symptoms I have learned that I can expect a new theme or obsession is imminent. Tell your therapist how you are feeling. Get help from the people trained. Im actively in therapy right now and the last few weeks have been rough. You not having any triggers or symptoms is actually causing you the trigger of noticing that. You are not alone.

All of our brains are different. Its just the fact we get stuck in these feelings and worrying. We analyze and get more stuck the more we check. I usually just take a deep breath and be like ok I feel this way right now or oh I dont feel anything right now. Then I just make myself do something to change the thought focus.

I feel the same but with Sexual orientation OCD, like I got all the thoughs and feelings, but no anxiety and urge to do nothing with it, just feels real
