When you’re anxiety is down, can your intrusive thoughts/feelings make you sometimes feel indifferent to them or even good? It’s like I don’t want to have them but I don’t absolutely hate them like I used to. They just seem a bit silly to me because they’re so far fetched that I almost enjoy it?

OCD is relentless so when your anxiety subsided it’s going to try to infiltrate your brain. The lack of anxiety means you’re getting better. Go with it

I definitely feel this it’s like the thoughts and feelings that go with them are just a bit meh like I don’t really care anymore. But I still don’t want them if that makes sense?

So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?

Desensitization?

Is anyone else sort of desensitized by their intrusive thoughts? I still get slight discomfort, and I don't like them, but I think I've been becoming numb to them in a way? It might just be a mental drain. I've been having an anxiety spike due to them for a month now.

Anxiety is much better but intrusive thoughts have reared their ugly head again. Thing is they don’t scare me but they seem like they should have meaning since I’m not anxious like I used to be!
