I had something similar happen. I almost never go on vacations, but a few years ago I went to the beach for a week with my friend. I was having so much fun and I was finally relaxed. I noticed that my contamination OCD was SIGNIFICANTLY better, and things that used to trigger me didn't anymore. I felt like I'd finally found peace, so when I went back home and everything returned I was devastated.

I understand you. Ocd is unpredictable, we never know when it's gonna get worse.

OCD
So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

My mind tells me that peace is too good to be true
One of my biggest struggles in overcome OCD is that in moment where I feel invincible and feel really good, my mind itches back at me telling me that it’s too good to be true and I need to feel back on edge. I call this my OCD homeostasis, and my mind just needs to revert back to this. How has everyone dealt with this effectively?
