im not so sure why you want the thoughts so desperately but i also do. take this as a good sign and as a part of recovery

i don't desperately want them, but their presence "proves" i have ocd which then is kinda reassuring in itself? and also the anxiety is reassuring and now it's gone

@Nour04 yeah ik what you mean thats why im on this app so often but also remember no reassurance it’ll just make you question more but you’re most likely on the way to recovery

When I’m happy or enjoying myslef or feeling good about myself and automatically think why haven’t I had a ocd thought is it really ocd that I have then? then my anxiety goes wild and I start ruminating. I’m not sure what that is but It’s like I can’t get away from ocd at all. I can’t be happy.
