Why did it come back?
The last few days I have felt amazing! No ruminating! Today out of no where… it came back!!! Why?

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

@Sasquatch1 That’s exactly the same situation as me! Ugh it’s so hard! Thank you for your kind words. I hope you get through this too!

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.
