Yeah, that sneaky little bugger, often tries to get as with something new, if it's old tactic doesn't work properly anymore.

I'm so glad to hear you've been doing amazing! It's tough when OCD tries to sneak back in, isn't it? But it sounds like you have a solid plan to ride it out. Remember, you're not alone in this, and you have the strength to get through these moments. Have you found any particular strategies helpful in the past when OCD tries to take hold? Keep being kind to yourself and remember that it's okay to have ups and downs. You're doing great! 🌟

I get how you feel like fr. Especially when I have good days, I start feeling like maybe I am faking it. It's a theme that goes against my values as a person, which I know OCD does. Usually I am fighting contamination OCD, but when I am doing ok, it's like "you're a lier and a faker", " how do you keep this going, when you are just attention seeking".... Trust me, it's a hard to have your minditerally against you, but that is OCD, it takes advantage of you and lies to you. You need to just keep using your strategies and keep going. Don't over think it. Just let the thoughts drift like a cloud and keep moving forward. You got this!

what if it’s not ocd
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do

My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.

Therapy today.
(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I have therapy today and I’m nervous. I just started going to therapy and I really like my therapist. She talked to me about doing ERP and I’m really nervous about it. I’m scared to tell her the extent of my OCD, and my themes. I’m scared to tell her about my false memory OCD, because I’m scared that what I did was real and I’m just excusing it as false memory, although I have no memory of it. I’m scared that I am truly a monster and I’m using OCD as an excuse—and that she’ll find out and distance herself. I’m just scared that my whole world is gonna fall apart, all around me.
