i have experienced this too! i think with me it was a trauma response. I just stopped feeling anything and i blocked my emotions which caused me blocking my anxiety too. That doesn’t mean you faked your anxiety and ocd. i just think it means that you couldn’t handle the stress anymore so you blocked it maybe? i’m not a professional so i don’t know if it was this for you, but this is something that has happened to me before so maybe it helps if i speak about my experiences? And just because your anxiety stopped that day, doesn’t mean it wasn’t real yesterday. Your feelings are valid. And if its not that you blocked it and its something different for you, maybe try to enjoy not feeling the anxiety today and try not to think about you ‘faking’ it to much. Let yourself get some rest instead of making things harder on yourself by overthinking. I hope this helps a bit. Lots of love<33

Actually I was dissociated from anxiety and nerves for over a year because I was overwhelmed. I still went through the motions of feeling them but couldn't feel them. Maybe if that happens, seek a therapist for it. It's good to feel anxiety and nerves

I wouldn't question it. If its not affecting you anymore, it's not an issue right?

I experience this too! I think for me it’s because my brain is just so exhausted that it can’t produce any more thoughts

Hi I experienced this also with real events, I think sometime this happen because our brain is exhausted and can't manage this levels of anxiety. That dosent mean it was fake, the topic can start again, or not. Try to rest and, if you are in therapy, I will recommend you talk to your therapist about this even if it is not a problem anymore

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Feeling “normal” again
Anyone else feel that when they aren’t experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like I’ve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I “get over” them I just can’t believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasn’t true or didn’t apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didn’t know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.
