Bad days.
Does anyone else’s OCD randomly get worse on a random day and all you can really do is just try to survive the day? If so, does anyone have any healthy ways of dealing with this?

At a minimum, I acknowledge the experience is so incredibly frustrating, to feel like your day is being dictated to you. But I guess that's part of OCD - realizing the feelings and your reaction to them can be separated and you choose your response.

Yes, just like today. My current strategy is to try and acknowledge the way I react to my random bad days has a meaningful impact on how the day goes - I usually get mad that something out my control has dictated how my day is going to go. I've come to find that if I don't fight it, I think my brain accepts this as a sign the underlying concern isn't actually a concern and turns the volume down.

Yes I relate to this so much it’s so draining and some days it’s so much harder to fight the ocd x

Watching an episode of a funny tv show sometimes helps me 😊

i totally get where you're coming from. those random bad days can feel like you're just trying to keep your head above water. it's tough, but you're not alone in this. 💪 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck?' when i was going through similar rough patches, my NOCD therapist recommended 'unstuck' to me (unstuckmyOCD.com/try), and it was a game-changer. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized step-by-step support for those unpredictable tough days, just like having an OCD therapist in your pocket. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

I’m confused. I don’t know how this is supposed to work. Can anyone relate to this??? I don’t have anyone who understands just what my ocd is. I barely understand it. No matter what I do and where, my thoughts hit me. I can be blinking the wrong way and I have to blink until it feels right.. same for swallowing, touching things, light switches and setting down cups. I have to sit and stand up multiple times until it feels right. Step on certain things like cracks in sidewalk as many times I feel is needed. Wash my hands multiple times. Even when texting, I can type out a whole paragraph and my mind tells me to delete it all and start again because it’s not right. When something isn’t right my mind tells me that someone I love is going to die or get hurt. And for some reason I obsess over certain days, like a day someone I love it born. I will sit there and flip a light switch with that date in my mind and a bad thought that something will happen and I can’t stop until I feel that person in my head is safe and everything is fine. In a way I feel that I am saving them and myself from something bad. Can anyone relate? And maybe share how you’re dealing with it all? Please and thank you.

How’s everyone’s depression from OCD? I’ve been having up and down days... But sometimes, i’m so tired of dealing with my phobias I become extremely depressed, wanting a way out. I can’t sleep, can’t eat (fear of food poisoning), sometimes don’t even want to leave the house. Anyone else feel TIRED of this?...

My Experience
I'm curious if anyone experiences OCD how I do. Somedays I barely have any intrusive thoughts and if I do, they cause me minimal anxiety. Other days I'm so anxious and tortured by my thoughts I feel I can't go on. I've gone months with constant turmoil and months without. Anyone else?
