Does anyone ever get over an ocd thought, then weeks later boom it comes back and you spend the next However long it takes getting over it again and start thinking what if something really did happen. Iv spent the last few months going back over this thought and keep thinking it’s real!

Man I've been there. Hang in there buddy, it gets better. I've had times when I've felt so strong and my OCD seemed like it just upped and left for good. Then bam, like a bus hitting you, a thought pops into my head and haunts me for days. But trust me, it gets better

Yeah usually I get over a thought within a few days, and I feel better! but this particular thought just keeps coming back, and I start ruminating over it again, it’s so frustrating, try my best not to reassure myself but it feels so real!

Sounds rough, I've had thoughts feel so real that it felt like if I didn't gratify the feeling by going through my OCD "rituals" my life would literally be ruined. And that fear that comes with the thoughts just builds and builds until it's all consuming and thinking about either the repercussions of it or how to avoid it occupies so much of your mental space and emotional capacity that you're like physically tired. I've been there, it's tough. Maybe you should try the SOS function on this app everytime you have an "episode" (lol, sorry for that word) or think about going to see a therapist and getting it all out

All the time

Exactly they feel so real and your mind is just exhausted and u actually feel psychically tired. I find exercising and keeping busy can help. I know it gets better but I haven’t had a thought that’s bothered me this long and a long time. Which makes me think it’s real! It’s never ended with ocd! I’m on the list for therapist but can find one I want so may look to go private. Have u tried the therapists on here?

I haven't yet, I've been trying to cope with it and find ways to alleviate some of my anxieties on my own. Just trying to live with the thoughts and impulses. I think I've been about 40% successful. I think.its just the purist in me that thinks all my issues can be cured by me since it's me who somehow created them subconsciously in the first place. But I'm pretty sure that I'm wrong or at least somewhere on my journey to that conclusion I've been wrong. But I'm gonna stick it out, if I seriously can't deal anymore I'll try to find a good one
