It’s best to not ignore the thoughts since it’ll come back stronger

What about the shaky feeling in the legs? Is it anxiety ? It's like the feeling you get in your legs when you're scared

@raj123 I get those whenever I hyperventilate so yes it could be anxiety too

Stopping yourself from giving into compulsions as your main source of relief can cause a spike in anxiety before you really get used to it

Actually, ignoring them is generally what you’re supposed to do! *As long as you’re not pushing them away or pretending they’re not there*, but simply not giving them attention or doing compulsions, you’re doing great. It’s okay to feel anxious. That lessens the more you refuse compulsions. Proud of you!

Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠

Having a bit of an interesting time lately, feeling like I am on a roller coaster because every day has been a bit different. Yesterday was a pretty good day, my anxiety was low and intrusive thoughts were easier to work past. What I noticed was although anxiety was low, I still felt overwhelmed by thoughts sporadically throughout the evening. This morning I had some intense feelings after waking up, but find myself almost in the same place again. Any tips or tricks that have worked for you on managing through thoughts with low anxiety?

Is this even a possibility? I'm not even sure if it's an OCD issue, GAD, or maybe a lack of something else, but I'm just constantly feeling off. Even if I'm not getting constant intrusive thoughts, I just feel on edge all the time? Is there anyone who's been able to overcome this? It bothers me so much 😭
