So OCD isn't real. It's a lie. It takes what you value in life and twists it up all nasty and gives it back. When you first start the cycle, you become a reassurance junky. No one likes the panic/anxious feeling. In my journey of recovery I'm now at the stage where I can have intrusive thoughts and as long as my body doesn't feel anxious - I'm good. But there are days where my body wakes up on edge or it feels anxious but my mind is fine. On those days my OCD hits hard because it's almost like PTSD. I associate any time I have anxiety with my old Harm OCD event. (SUPER bad 9 years ago - off and on since then). OCD is never real, ever. Please know that. I think it's your body's response from being used to that feeling. Don't get frustrated though. Give yourself some grace. Healing takes time but it is possible. The bible talks a lot about this and I found comfort in those scriptures. Jeremiah 29:11. Hugs!

Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?

When I reassure myself that I no I would never do that, I don’t believe it & when I’ve been using the same reassurance for a while it doesn’t work the same way as it use to?

So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?
