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!

Rant
Hi I’m getting my period in a few days and I always notice my OCD spikes but I’ve just been feeling very very down, thoughts feel very sticky and real. Not much is making it better and I just feel super out of it. I also had a few dreams the past few weeks that relate to one of my ocd themes which is psychosis and I keep thinking I’m going to develop it. And I’ve also just been so on edge and scared even of like myself and people and reeling down and sad. Any advice? I don’t even like talking abt it rlly bc it creeps me out I feel like nothing is helping.

Theme shift
My theme has shifted drastically in the past year. I haven’t used NOCD in a while since i’ve been doing a lot better and thought i’d just check and see how the community is doing. Hope you’re all doing okay 👌🏼. I suffered with SO-OCD for over a year. Thankfully, i’ve somewhat overcome this and it’s nothing but a passing thought in my head After a period of peace I began having obsessions and fears about the end of the world. Specifically asteroid/comets. The sound of a plane, a low rumble, or a loud bang is enough to send me spiralling. I’d jump for my phone to see what the news was saying and even downloaded a flight radar app to check if what i was hearing was a plane or not. Last night i noticed a bright star start flickering and i was convinced i was gonna die. The dreams are relentless. Every night I have nightmares about the same thing and every night I feel absolute horror, coming to terms with death before waking up in a cold sweat. Let me know your thoughts or if anyone else is going through similar things.

Not a good day
I’m spiralling this week. My mind feels like a catalogue flicking through chapters of my life and finding bits to pick on. I’m doubting lots of different actions or events over the years and worrying if these mean I’m a terrible person. I know this is ocd but the fact they actually happened is making it really really hard to deal with. Can’t wait for this episode to pass but already scared for the next flare up as this is happening more often. Any advice welcome 🙏
