Do others with SOOCD find that after erp treatment, the disinterest in intimacy/loss of attraction comes and goes in waves? Like sometimes I find my SOOCD is really quiet and I can just enjoy my relationship, and other times it hits me full force and I cant believe I even have ocd just think its real.

i think this may be reassurance, but i would want someone to tell me, so - yes! i have days where i feel terrified to be around my fiancé and days where i wanna be around him all the time. 

Understandable. Yeah I think that's something I wish was talked about more in treatment, how it's hard to constantly put mindfulness into effect, and when we arent able to, it feels much more scary 

@Ope Same here! I've been very stressed lately and my partners mother died recently, which has made my ocd spike a lot

@Ope Yes, I already did. Shes helping me keep routine and stuff right now so I'm not as vulnerable to my ocd
