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

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.

Question
So I had a panic attack a while ago to “kill mom” and I forgot about the thought until a few days later. When it came back I was mentally drained and it lasted for 2 months or more. It eventually went away but it is back. I get other intrusive thoughts but they go away after a hour or so. Why am I stressing over “kill mom” so much. I just get irritated that it won’t go away. I’m beginning to think it’s a different mental illness maybe just anxiety? I’m not sure to be honest. It just appears and sits there and I feel like I’m doomed and a pyscho and worry that I’ll never forget the thought.

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
