Idk, this is very strange to me but ever since I recovered from a really bad relapse in my OCD, my anxiety has gotten better but the contents and frequency of the thoughts have gotten worse. This then, of course, gives me a second kind of anxiety about that meaning I must actually like my thoughts. Maybe it’s because I’ve gone back to school and so my brain is distracted by the social anxiety and work stress. Has anyone else gone through this?

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?

Does anyone who has gotten better/healed with OCD ever experience that their thoughts and urges get more difficult as you get better. I feel like I am getting better at handling certain things but I feel like now newer themes and such get more difficult as I progress. I was curious if this is kind of the process to getting better. Weirdly, like it makes sense the closer you are to getting better thoughts become worst and stronger since you are doing better. Just need to keep on pushing and doing what I have been. Let me know, would love to hear your guys thoughts and feedback

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 insane😢
