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

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!

Is no anxiety normal?
My thoughts are here but I have no anxiety. No matter what if I agree with the thoughts it doesn’t give me anxiety. If I think about how not having anxiety means that the thoughts are my truth since I’m not having anxiety. Nothing is giving me anxiety and I don’t know why but I don’t like that it’s not giving me anxiety. Is this normal?

Anxiety is much better but intrusive thoughts have reared their ugly head again. Thing is they don’t scare me but they seem like they should have meaning since I’m not anxious like I used to be!
