Hey look on the bright-side you went a decent amount of time without getting them, which means you will bounce back and get there again. Trust me we all relapse, I had a solid year of no thoughts that then followed a horrible 3-4 months of thoughts and anxiety everyday. However each time you relapse I feel like you definitely learn and get stronger. Trust me you will get better, just stay strong and maybe go to talk therapy or the psychiatrist and seek input. Nothing wrong with that!

Hahah yepp, I’ve been there before. I would get anxious or get a thought and be like “that’s ocd” and it would just stay there and make me feel bad. I learned to accept that and say hey some days this disease is going to make me feel “off” or not myself but I can still manage and stay productive and each night I review all the stuff I accomplished even though I felt bad and I genuinely feel proud. Keep going!

@anna:) yep definitely another sign of OCD, you said “confused” that’s a clear sign OCD is in full effect. Just accept the fact your confused say “okay I don’t know how to feel about this” or just note the feeling and say “this feeling is confusing” but don’t judge it or look too much into it. When u make it personal u begin to think u have to change something when in reality the feeling will go away on its own with time.

Yepp I know exactly what you’re feeling. I used to think “am I always going to have these thoughts” and “will I ever be happy” and the thing is people with OCD are generally happy it’s just these thoughts that cause us to have anxiety and become unhappy. Shift your focus so the next time the thought occurs don’t answer it. Just note the thought and shift your focus to the present moment try thinking about what your eating, smelling, touching, etcc... that should bring u back to earth a bit and out of the cycle.

So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight

Anxiety is much better but intrusive thoughts have reared their ugly head again. Thing is they don’t scare me but they seem like they should have meaning since I’m not anxious like I used to be!

How do you guys handle uncertainty? I keep having so many what if thoughts and I feel so bad. The worst ones are what if I act on my intrusive thoughts or actually want them and I can’t tell if they’re me or not. It just feels so real and at this point I don’t even know if they’re intrusive thoughts anymore. I just want to not be a bad person and not feel like this anymore.
