my ocd started off irrational now it feels so much more real

the themes have switched into more realistic studd

stuff

Hey, I know how you're feeling. When my body doesn't have an anxious feeling I can handle my intrusive thoughts. If I feel the least bit afraid - it's all of a sudden "omg it's real". I just want to let you know though, it's a lie. You'll have moments of clarity where you realize it's just a farce. It's trying to make you second guess yourself. Know who you are, hold on to that and know the anxiety will pass. Blessings! Jeremiah 29:11

thank you🙏 this is very helpful. it’s just scary because my ocd used to be about the past and present, now the theme has switched the the future which generates 100x more anxiety because of the uncertainty. the thoughts go like “what if (awful thing happens) because (i did something i don’t remember/mean to do)”. it feels so real. i feel like these things did happen and i will face the consequences. sometimes these thoughts feel ridiculous/false other times they make me sick to my stomach.

I know, it sucks. I cried earlier tonight from an episode bc I'm just over this. But once that feeling happens I feel so empowered because I'm so much better than I was when I started this journey.

i’m sorry :( and exactly, it is empowering. stay strong and i wish you an amazing recovery. god loves you <3

@anonymous Thank you!!!! You as well!! It will get better I promise
