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

My thoughts are here but I have no anxiety. No matter what if I agree with the thoughts it doesn’t give me anxiety. If I think about how not having anxiety means that the thoughts are my truth since I’m not having anxiety. Nothing is giving me anxiety and I don’t know why but I don’t like that it’s not giving me anxiety. Is this normal?

Why am I not anxious? Like at all anymore? Is it because I'm really avoiding and trying not to think of the consequences that come from possibly being a pdfile? Is the only thing that is worrying me about it is the consequences then does it mean that I really am one? But I never masturbated to the thought of a child and actively seeked it. It came as intrusive thoughts while I was doing it yes I've had them when I see kids yes and I question and check a lot if I'm attracted to them and its just confusing me, I know I'll never do anything to hurt a child and I don't even like the idea of becoming a pdfile then why am I not anxious enough about it? The thoughts are just distressing obsessive I feel disgusting and Id say I still do compulsions but I don't know something just doesn't feel right. I don't feel anything and no real attraction to anyone or anything anymore. I just feel so disgusting and I just want to be normal but then again I pretty much did this to myself. It's weird to me I know there isn't a real indication I'm a pdfile and past experiences pretty much prove that and I've always been attracted to older guys so why is this happening now? Why am I getting these thoughts now especially right after I was trying to fix this sexual obsession/tension I had for older guys. Is my brain just leaving one thing to love and be obsessed about and going to the other? I'm really really just confused. Not anxious just distressed confused and uncomfortable. Like I want to throw up but I don't feel intense anxiety in my chest it feels like maybe I haven't processed what's going on properly. I'm genuinely so confused and I don't want to have this stay in my mind. Sometimes I just miss my ex so much because at the time I've felt something I felt so much things even though I had really bad rocd. I just miss loving people again and being alive again. I'm so scared and confused right now can anyone explain to me what is this? I genuinely just want to understand what I'm feeling or thinking because its not making sense to me

I've recently found a way of dealing with my intrusive thoughts and compulsions, but now that I don't get anxious about the thoughts I feel oddly empty, like I keep wondering whats going on, why is this not hitting me like it used to. What do I do with myself now? I don't miss the way these thoughts had a choke hold on me, but I feel like I need to fill my life with something better, but i just don't know what. Has anyone else had this happen?
