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!

Good and Bad Days of OCD
Any tips on how to deal with the rollercoaster of good and bad days with OCD? I had such a good day yesterday with tackling my compulsions and rumination. I tend to get up in the mornings and my OCD loves to start immediately. It becomes frustrating when you feel like you made progress, only to go right back to where you were. Any positive encouragement of how you’ve dealt with this would be appreciated!

A good day
Yesterday I had a good day after I decided to not let any thought or feeling ruin my day. My intrusive thoughts and hyper awareness of consiousness/thinking was still there. But my day was more than okay. I even felt normal some moments of the day 🤓 Let’s do the same today. Lets live with the ocd instead of trying to escape it at all times.

Thought I'd been doing better
I am (or was)! Yesterday, I started to get really anxious for unknown reasons, and then (just my luck) I got triggered by something online 😭 It's always so... humbling. I'm trying to sit with the intrusive thoughts at this moment, but I'm just feeling really icky and a bit down. With OCD, it's bound to happen at some point, I guess. Even without OCD, you're going to have good and bad days. It's just how life is 🥲 I'm just afraid of being slingshot back to how I felt a few months ago, which I know realistically WON'T happen, but my brain doesn't want me to think logically lol. I'm also afraid that the repetitive nature of OCD intrusive thoughts will somehow alter who I am as a person, making my fears a reality? It's weird. Classic OCD, but it still makes me anxious! I have been doing better not engaging with these thoughts, but occasionally, I'll accidentally argue back. It doesn't help because then my brain says, "You're just in denial, and you're actually a bad person!" And whenever I say anything in opposition of something against my morals, it feels performative or fake for some reason 🫠 I'm just venting at this point, I'm sorry! Anyway, if anyone reads this, I hope you're doing okay, and if not, I hope things look up soon. Take care of yourselves, stay hydrated, and rest well!
