I stopped therapy and meds a month ago and everything seemed to be alright. But as time went on. the depression. the intrusive thoughts. it all just came knocking on my door. I always feel the need to cry for somereason. I'm always losing sense of reality which makes my anxiety spike up. Today I went to watch Dont Breath 2 with my friends and one of the characters was a little girl... The movie was excellent up until a random thought came up to my head which reminded me of my POCD. I calmed myself down and used this opportunity as exposure therapy but I still feel disgusted and depressed. I came home feeling emotionally numb. I shed a tear for a while and my head feels completely empty. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have a tuff time sleeping today as well. I want to be normal again... If someone can talk to me I'd appreciate it.

Hello! I have issues like this as well sometimes. In my case not as severe. I have a little sister and a dog as well and at times my OCD will spike and even when she’s standing just too close to me even though I know I would never do anything to her precious soul, I still get bothered and freak out and question my morality. At the end of these thoughts I tend to remind myself that I love my sister and remind myself that the thoughts ARE NOT who I am. You got this! I’ve heard from others that worrying about what you are thinking for example POCD is a good theory on proving why you are a good person for worrying about it in the first place if that makes sense.
