Hi I can completely relate, one thing I've noticed having OCD most of my life you can get used to being in a constant state of anxiety, so you might feel almost immune to the things OCD throws at you by now that's why you feel less anxious but that being said OCD shouldnt be measured by the level of anxiety you feel because it can always get worse, its important not question your own diagnosis or wait to seek help just because you aren't on the verge of panick everyday, I know you said you can't get therapy right now which I'm sorry about but im always here and we're always for you to vent and get things out in the open! So please don't hesitate to use this as your safe place đ

Feeling like youâre faking is actually an intrusive thought. OCD can pull the strings, so a particular thought may not be distressing to you any more, and your OCD has taken this as the perfect opportunity to feed you a brand new intrusive thought. So many people with OCD have the feeling that theyâre faking

I know, it's even worse that I can't get a professional diagnosis. Thanks for the support thoughđ¤

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.

Anyone else feel that when they arenât experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like Iâve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I âget overâ them I just canât believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasnât true or didnât apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didnât know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insaneđ˘
