i am not though. i am not sitting down with my head in between my hands and thinking non-stop and overanalysing strings of ideas if that makes sense? i used to do that but not anymore?

@Nour04 If you're on here making multiple posts over 3 hours to try to get help with anxiety, that is a form of compulsion

@Nour04 Anxiety isnt always in the body. It can come out in ways we don't think are anxiety. But by the looks of your post it definitely gives off the vibe that you're worried

Compulsions can change… one day it looks like sitting with your head in your hands thinking non-stop and the next day it looks like posting on a message board asking for reassurance. Some days you felt a sensation you label as anxiety and today you don’t feel that particular sensation. Don’t let it mean anything! Or say “maybe this means my theme is true, maybe not”. Also you could look at how to treat a back door spike.

Worried about not being anxious?
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.

Is this happening to you?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re 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.
