That’s a good question: From my experience, If I jumped into the compulsive need to find an answer, I never found one because the fuel behind finding the answer is an anxiety fueled need to answer the question. Than rather than getting a satisfactory answer, your mind comes up with more questions, and is still fueld by fear, and it creates and existential loop. Calming aporoaching the answers in a mind not filled with anxiety is the way to gather true information and true answers, but getting to that point is difficult.

I see. I've noticed that when I do my compulsions too much I start to backfire more often. For instance, when I test my sexuality after a streak of days of not testing I usually get the answer that I want. But after a while of constantly testing it usually backfires after a certain point. And after continuously testing, It begins to backfire more

Is this a symptom of ocd?
When I reassure myself that I no I would never do that, I don’t believe it & when I’ve been using the same reassurance for a while it doesn’t work the same way as it use to?

OCD during Healing
Does anyone who has gotten better/healed with OCD ever experience that their thoughts and urges get more difficult as you get better. I feel like I am getting better at handling certain things but I feel like now newer themes and such get more difficult as I progress. I was curious if this is kind of the process to getting better. Weirdly, like it makes sense the closer you are to getting better thoughts become worst and stronger since you are doing better. Just need to keep on pushing and doing what I have been. Let me know, would love to hear your guys thoughts and feedback

Gotten worse
My ocd them has gotten worse and I’m trying my hardest to not look for reassurance. Why does my mind play these tricks on me that I’m saying my thoughts out loud????? I’m trying my hardest to ignore it but it’s making me depressed. When I’m ignoring it my brain will go to “everybody will talk about you” “you said something bad” “you said it out loud and when you’ll live a terrible life”. I don’t know what to do anymore
