@random_person Yes, it does. When you sit with the anxiety and donāt do compulsions, the anxiety reduces a lot.

iāve just been feeling so off lately. iām okay right now, but a couple hours ago i was in this mood where i felt anxiety creeping up. like i will feel like thereās danger when there isnāt. i just get this really uncomfortable feeling that something feels wrong even when it isnāt. and iāve been feeling derealization/depersonalization. just really disconnected from myself and the world. iāve also been unmotivated to where there are times when the thought of doing things upsets me. and iāve been having existential thoughts that do not mesh well with harm ocd. i get the thought āif people arenāt real then itās okay to hurt themā. it sucks because there are times where i just donāt even care to ruminate and find reassurance that thatās not the case. furthermore, iāve just been really aware of my existence. i will get moments where iām so aware of my existence and it freaks me out. like the fact that iām a living human being is crazy to me. then there are times when iām not even anxious about anything which then has me questioning and ruminating on that because i ALWAYS have something iām worrying about. iāve also been feeling really nostalgic and bittersweet of the good memories from the past. i keep thinking about good times iāve had and really wishing i could relive it. for example, last summer was a pretty good summer even with my ocd. and i just wish i could relive some of those moments, but i obviously canāt. and itās been upsetting me because this month has been shitty with my anxiety. as for an update with my room change to those of you curious, i still have anxiety over it and my mom is taking it as me being ungrateful with what i have when itās my ocd making a huge deal of it. that upsets me especially since iāve told her whatās been going on and she was really understanding of it. anyways, life has just been a bit much and iāve been dealing with more to my anxiety that i donāt appreciate. while worrying about constantly throwing up with my contamination ocd is incredibly exhausting, itās so normal to me that iām used to it. but when my harm ocd kicks in along with other themes that arenāt usually common for me, i freak out and feel like iām going insane. i genuinely wonder how people have dealt with taboo topics of ocd without treatment for years on end. iāve had harm intrusive thoughts since i was little, but it didnāt get to any extreme until 2023. i feel like iām drowning in it when it decides to hit me and the thought of having to deal with it for the rest of my life?? iām scared something in me will flip and iāll become what my thoughts are telling me i am. i apologize for the mixed thoughts that are all over the place but i feel safe posting on here about it and want to hear how yāall are doing
