Does anyone look back in the past when their OCD was not as bad and wish they could go back? It honestly makes me quite emotional when I look back at pictures when I was in a better place than currently.
It's crazy how it gets worse slowly
All the time

@Rebeccarr The more I think about it I wonder if this is classified as a compulsion for us
@Rebeccarr Yeah me too 😅 gives me hope that I can learn to cope better and get back at the state I was in previously
Almost every day 😭😩
miss when my thoughts were normal 😞
All. The. Time.
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?
Anyone else feel that when they aren’t experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like I’ve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I “get over” them I just can’t believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasn’t true or didn’t apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didn’t know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.
I know I was here earlier on with a question as well lol but has anyone ever found that when a new false memory takes its place at the forefront of your mind, it's almost easier to disregard the old false memories and say "Yeah that stuff didn't actually happen that way". It feels like OCD giving you a little reward for letting it place a new, shinier false memory in your head. Anyone experience the same thing? Maybe I've asked a similar question before.
