Why did it come back?

Recovery is not linear! I was diagnosed in 2020, consider myself well into recovery and still catch myself doing compulsions. That’s okay! Practice self compassion and redirect your attention. You got this

I know how you’re feeling, I’m in a similar boat. I was on the right track towards healing, thoughts were getting to a stage where they weren’t bothering me as such, but something happened this morning and now I’m right back at square one. You’ve got this, you will be alright I promise

It’s the nature of OCD and mental illnesses in general. That is why staying present in the moment and accepting the things that come up without fighting or judging them/you is very helpful. It gets you used to the silliness in your mind.

Are there ebbs and flows to OCD or anxiety. Last week there were periods of times I was feeling better. Moments. Times where the intrusive thoughts didn’t bother me and I didn’t had riddling anxiety. Now it’s back and I need help

Anyone else??????
I feel like over a week ago I had about 4 really GOOD days in a row which I’ve never had before! I was able to concentrate a lot more I still had the thoughts but it was usually just the same one that popped up every now and again, no new ones and I really felt like this was the start of getting better. Well fast forward to now im on day 3 of really bad days!!! My awful intrusive thoughts are on loop again I can’t seem to concentrate, im constantly ruminating!!! I feel like I’m constantly creating new thoughts in my head that are awful!! I’ve started mindfulness again which I feel just have been what helped me have the good days because that’s the only thing I’ve stopped really. Anyone who else gone through this??????
