Hey all, after being ok for a while, my ocd seems to have slipped back? However the thing is im not getting intrusive thoughts as such? So heres my question Is it possible for the ‘intrusive thought’ to be anxiety? Like you just feel anxious for no reason and want to get rid of it? Then get scared because it feels horrible and it keeps coming back? I know the ‘what if this doesnt go away’ part is ocd but man, ive never had this before and I feel scared and alone, and I dont know where to start Any advice is truly appreciated as I want to put in the effort to get through this as soon as possible Thanks all

OCD is listed as an anxiety disorder, so it only stands to reason that a backdoor spike would include anxiety. Stay mindful that's it only OCD trying to ruin your day, try to let it go, and move on. The episode, more than likely, will eventually pass. And try not to dwell on it. OCD wants you on its rumination treadmill. Don't buy into it.
