I get this particular obsession a lot ! recovery is not linear, and it isnât âevidenceâ of never having had an illness - itâs just evidence of progress. you deserve to get better!! being anxious sucks, but showering and leaving the house are big big progress markers and they definitely do not undermine/disprove 1) your ocd diagnosis nor 2) the intensity of your feelings right now. these things can all exist! recovery is weird and full of contradictions - like everything with ocd, we have to accept the âmay or may notâ and rejoice in the small wins.

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesnât mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if itâs not ocd thought is triggering me now and i donât know what do

Does anyone else ever feel like they donât feel âbad enoughâ to have OCD, or that they donât feel âthe right wayâ for it? Or like theyâre just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
