Kinda sounds like the back door spike
But doesn’t this happen when you’re in recovery? I’m not in recovery
@random_person Not necessarily. This happens after a prolonged time of anxiety
@Anonymous6 To my best knowledge
@Anonymous6 Do you know how long it lasts?
@random_person I do not. Research the back door spike :)
I feel like the exact same thing. I dont feel anxious and thinking my ocd is gone.
Wait isnt that a good thing
Maybe, but it feels like I’ve accepted I’m the real thing and feel really depressed and not like myself
@random_person Look up the video “Depression as a compulsion with Shala Nicely” - it talks about exactly this
?
i’m the same actually it happened to me last night where i was contemplating something and was genuinely thinking that i have ‘accepted it’ (i was super sleepy) even though i was mentally opposing it i didn’t feel the anxiety that i usually feel (that happens with my intrusive thoughts but i’m always avidly going against them but in this instance i was genuinely sitting a contemplating and thinking that i had accepted that i was this awful thing and i wasn’t getting anxiety from it) but then i woke up the next morning and felt riddled with a lot of anxiety bc of it and i wasn’t understanding why i wasn’t getting anxiety bc at the current moment i was getting anxiety and stress from it so i’m what u mean!
**i know what u mean
Stop feeling certain and just go with it. No one knows your outcome don’t pay attention to this back door spike thing. Enjoy your freedom and just stay present!
No one knows for “certain” if ocd will or will never go away. It’s best to not even give these questions the time of day.
