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.

Is no anxiety normal?

My thoughts are here but I have no anxiety. No matter what if I agree with the thoughts it doesn’t give me anxiety. If I think about how not having anxiety means that the thoughts are my truth since I’m not having anxiety. Nothing is giving me anxiety and I don’t know why but I don’t like that it’s not giving me anxiety. Is this normal?

OCD recovery

I think I’m in the recovery stage as my thoughts have settled so much & I only get intrusive thoughts on occasion and get worse only when I’m anxious, but the quietness in my brain feels so weird & I feel awful saying that because all I wanted was the thoughts to stop. This is the most quiet it’s been it’s over 7 months, so to go from non stop thoughts for a long time to quietness I don’t know how to take it. Has anyone else felt like this in recovery
