i've been this way for a while now, makes me feel like i don't have ocd and that's really me, especially because the feelings of liking it are still there too and it feels so real

@ode but is it normal not to ruminate or do compulsions or feel anxious??? these are the key components of ocd yet i lack them (idek atp)

@ode i honestly hope so although i haven't gone to therapy nor done erp, i just got to a point where i could ignore the thoughts.

Me too. It’s like I care but I also don’t care anymore? I just wish it would all go away but everyday it becomes more convincing. I feel like I am fully convinced right now and I don’t feel anxious.

Me too. Sometimes I even feel ‘good’ but Idk if that’s because I’m recovering or because this wasn’t OCD at all. I don’t want to be okay with this anymore

These egodystonic thoughts are changing my ego. I feel like all my morals and ideals have been altered and I want them back please let me have them back

There are points where they just happen and all you can do is accept they are there 🤷🏽♂️

I have this happen multiple times. It helps to take time and let your body recover from all of this maybe read a book that has nothing to do with romance or spend time with family. Just anything that will help you relax your body

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.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
