a way i like to look at ocd is like a pair of glasses. whenever you have the glasses on, the way you see everything is different then you normally would. There are days where the glasses are on more than they’re off and vice-versa. Today might just be a day where they’re off and just enjoy it! Ocd likes to make you think that since it’s a part of you that you need it to function, but remember that it’s just A PART of you, not who you are.

but now not thinking about it makes me feel like i am in denial. i am able to dismiss the thoughts, but not ruminating about them makes me feel like i have to. i don't know if that makes sense

Or it means you did a great job not giving into compulsions :) when we don’t feed the monster, the ocd lessens

I get what you’re saying. While it’s hard, I think accepting that uncertainty is important to getting through moments like this. Like i said, ocd likes to make it seem like you need it to survive because compulsions are the things that “keep us safe” it’s going to throw thoughts, feelings, etc at you to try and hook you. Remember that a lot of it is just symptoms of ocd. Idk if that makes sense but I hope it helps!

I’m so confused right now. I feel really calm about my intrusive thoughts and I feel calm overall. I can still get moments of feeling uneasy but overall I’m calmer. Yesterday was really difficult. Does that mean I don’t have OCD? I just don’t get this. Even today I was scared with the thought of what If I’m lying about my intrusive thoughts and my experience with OCD and I’m really just a crazy person.....and then later today when I felt calmer I was like omg what if I really don’t have OCD and I really I’m just making it up. I feel so calm right now. I’m kind of guessing maybe because I talked to my mom about my some intrusive thoughts have and have had in the past and I was worried about telling her but she understood and so I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. Is it possible to suddenly feel ok?

Today I don’t care about my ocd I’m on the upward spiral and genuinely just have been ignoring my thoughts like I could care less. This hasn’t happened in a long time. Feels weird but also good. I’m even writing this having intrusive thoughts and just letting them pass. anyone every have these days and then bam the next day it’s hard to ignore the thoughts ? i get these days every now and then and it’s a great feeling, but also feels weird bc I’m used to my brain analyzing every thought or action I do.

Has anyone experienced this?
So my ocd is raging today. I have had a lot of intrusive thoughts that really disturb me but I don't get anxious from them anymore. I know I don't like those thoughts but why am I not getting anxious from them anymore?
