could my being distracted 80% of the time be the reason why my ocd and anxiety have gone down?? like even when i am distracted i stillget thoughts and urges to do compulsions but i tend to panic less or to be able to shake them off (rare but still happens)

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

urm yes because then what if this is not ocd and i am just in denial😂

@Nour04 You think you’ll find out if you’re in denial by posting 15 times a day? And not having anxiety doesn’t mean you’re in denial. If people in denial didn’t have anxiety they wouldn’t be in denial

@Justmesadly wait so having anxiety means i am in denial???

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

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

exactly :( especially at night. is this some type of avoidance ?

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