Maybe maybe not? Do you need a reason or explanation for having less anxiety and distress? (The answer is no)

@Nour04 You think youâll find out if youâre in denial by posting 15 times a day? And not having anxiety doesnât mean youâre in denial. If people in denial didnât have anxiety they wouldnât be in denial

@Nour04 How would I know if youâre in denial or not?! Get off the app seriously! Delete the app if you want to get better ! Youâre getting worse and worse everyday and setting yourself further from recovery

me too! maybe itâs just when youâre distracted youâre busy doing something so your head is occupied and less time to panic. however when youâre alone doing nothing, itâs common to panic cause youâre not doing anything

@Nour04 hm iâm not sure but i doubt it. me too i experience a lot of stupid thoughts and memory digging during night, normally because itâs quiet and iâm not doing anything. however when iâm really tired and i get those thoughts iâm like âyeah whatever fuck offâ and it goes away, somehow. in the night are you not doing anything? if so then maybe itâs just your brain is bored and wants to mess around

Do you have to do erp?
Iâve noticed that Iâm somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (Iâm sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but Iâve heard youâre technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Ocd pattern
Sometimes I notice my intrusive thoughts cause me to spiral and sometimes not. I've been practicing ERP for quite a while so it's a bit easier for me to not spiral. But I wonder why that happens. Does anyone else have it? Also I'm on medication idk if that plays a role.
