I know exactly what you mean. For me the past couple months for me were dormant and then one day it came back it wasnt as bad as it was a couple months back. What I did was try to stay out of my head lol I know it’s sounds ridiculous but it’s true. I did things is LOVED during that constantly passed the time. Eventually I wasn’t focusing on the OCD thoughts anymore. But there creeping back on me .. but not as bad

Do you have a therapist that understands OCD and specializes in ERP? Doing compulsions is learned behavior and the only part of the OCD cycle you have control over. I'm not saying it will be easy, but you CAN learn not to do your compulsions. I lived with OCD for 37 years and never knew it. I thought OCD was just handwashing and liking things neat and organized. I had neither. I was finally diagnosed in August at age 45. So if I can stop doing my compulsions anyone can. Recovery is possible, but it will take time and a lot of hard work. But you aren't alone.

no i don't have a therapist or an OCD diagnosis. but i've been meaning to get in touch with one. the issue is i'm a minor so all of the appointment scheduling has been left in the hands of my parents and tbh i believe they've forgotten. i've brought it up time and time again to them, but they always forget which is understandable my parents are very busy people. i've been using NOCD to help with my intrusive thoughts and i can honestly say it has. not as well as a therapist would of course lol. i have shown the app to my parents and even talked to them about talking to a therapist here. they dismisses it at first but i wanna bring it to their attentions again

i think i might be struggling with depression. can depression make ocd worse? because lately, my intrusive thoughts have become so intense that even trying to sit with them doesn’t help. i hate that i can’t even go one full day without giving in to a compulsion. the horrible, blasphemous thoughts are so overwhelming that i sometimes feel like giving up and just believing them—not because i actually want to, but because I’m so mentally and emotionally exhausted. what scares me most is that my feelings feel so twisted now… like i’m starting to like or want these cruel thoughts. it’s terrifying because i feel like i’m becoming the kind of person I never wanted to be—a cruel person, even an enemy of God. and i don’t want that at all. i'm just scared i’m changing into someone i’m not.
