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

This is kind of a weird question, but I recently increased my SSRI dosage and have experienced tremendous relief. It has quieted my intrusive thoughts so much and my compulsions are no longer as all-consuming. However, I donât want to be on this high of a dosage forever and know that medication alone shouldnât be my only fix. Iâm seeing a new psychiatrist on Wednesday and am wondering if the recent decrease in frequency of my symptoms will be a bar to my getting ocd treatment? In other words, if in this present moment Iâm doing better, but up until a few days ago my compulsions were taking up pretty much every moment of my waking day, will I still be classified as having ocd? I start getting worried when I feel better that I donât actually have ocd and just use it as a defense mechanism to avoid consequences of my actions/Iâm secretly a terrible person

I feel like Iâve had a lot of different categories of ocd. Some categories stick with me more and are repetitive. Iâve been doing well with mental health - not having anxiety stick around. When the physical feeling of anxiety sticks around, every thought is horrible, but when the feeling of anxiety is gone the obsessions donât really impact me. If I can keep anxiety at bay, my life is good. Iâve been doing well lately, although this week I was scrolling through tictok and watched a video about someone in a coma and wondered if I was in a coma right now and didnât know it. I had a panic attack for about 15 minutes. Anxiety, sweating, etc. It didnât take ahold of me and it quickly lost its impact on me. It still shook me and I was just like âwowâ where did that come from. Now I am staying away from social media. Is that avoidance? Should I make myself keep watching social media? Many ocd problems have come from social media or watching a movie or show that triggers something and then spirals. I am limiting what I watch, which I believe is good because I shouldnât be watching that stuff anyway. What do you think?
