When you thought, that you get better..

How do you cope with the fact that you seem to have overcome OCD, the intrusive thoughts, you started feeling better, you were happy. And then suddenly, one day, it all comes back, and you sort of relive exactly the same days because of the exact same thoughts? You return to that same state. And it feels like you'll never get out again? It's so frustrating inside, like you had managed, and now you're overwhelmed again, even worse. You're afraid that all the symptoms will return, and even more severe. How do you pull yourself out again and not let it spiral? I've been in this terrible, anxious state for several days now, everything irritates me, I'm even crying in front of my child because of this.

You’re not alone… me, and I’m sure many others are in the exact same predicament. It sucks, to say the very least.. but please don’t feel discouraged. Most of us are all right here with you tryna figure it out Listen, I don’t know you or your current situation, but I do know that this isn’t permanent. If we got out of the spiral once, we can do it again… and maybe even stronger. You got this okay?.. be proud of how far you’ve come

@T.028._ Hello, thank you for your support, dear friend! It means the world to me. I don't know why I'm writing about my OCD on other sites where I might not be understood, especially on a site from my own region where everyone just shares their own opinions. It feels like I'm repeating the whole same scenario that happened last time with my OCD, and the same thoughts. I'm really scared. Because last time, I went to stay with my mom because of these thoughts, and it actually got even worse there, because mom doesn't fully understand the nature of the disorder and blamed everything on my husband. She thought we must have had some relationship problems and that's why I was so anxious. I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want a repeat of that scenario, I don't want to be weak. But I can't cope with the thought either 🥹 I'm in a very big trap right now. Thank you so much for your reply to my post. I'm also afraid to write many posts here, in case they block me.

@T.028._ How can I convince myself that the child is mine, that there was no mix-up and everything is fine? Even though she's my spitting image and all the hospital tags are in place. That constant "what if..." in my head... I feel so ashamed and awful 🥹It feels like I'm the only one with such thoughts, because they cannot be defeated. I really don’t want to take antidepressants 🥹

@T.028._ I told this to my husband because my anxiety was so overwhelming that I couldn’t hold back tears, and I thought he was the only person who could convince me of it — since it’s our shared child, who looks very much like me but has his personality. But poor him, he didn’t even know how to react and sent me abroad to my mother’s to rest. Naturally, my mom only made my OCD worse, blowing every little thing out of proportion. This is a very painful topic for me because it was the first time I was separated from my husband. Honestly, I don’t want to tell him about my obsessive thoughts, because it might become a habit, and I’d end up wanting to share every single thought.
