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.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insaneš¢

Iāve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately Iāve been spiralingāconstantly afraid that what Iām feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, itās paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldnāt worry that theyāre in it, but then I convince myself Iāve been in it this whole time, and havenāt known, and that maybe Iāve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like Iāll never get better or like Iāll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this wayāconfused, overwhelmed, or scared of whatās happening in their mindāIād really appreciate any support or encouragement.

Iām really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldnāt try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but Iāve been having feelings of like Iām not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I havenāt felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how Iāve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I donāt want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like Iām really scared itās that itās I donāt love him cause I donāt want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like Iām not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now Iām freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I donāt love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I donāt care at all and this has happened but like worst itās ever been and then other times Iām like I do care I do still feel. Iām just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? šš
