Doing exposure and the thoughts don’t bother me but something still feels “off” or “wrong” or “not right” is this normal? Is this what not doing compulsions feels like?

Yes, not doing compulsions is the correct course of action and will lead to success; but, just as we're not either blissfully happy or devastatingly down all the time, simply not doing compulsions isn't always going to make you feel like the problem is gone. It's going to take practice but you're off to a good start, so keep it going! Think of it this way: It took a lot of time getting to the point where OCD became a near-dabilitating factor in our lives and much like gaining weight over time is going to take time to lose, managing OCD is also going to take time. I spent most of last year and the first part of this year barely able to function. But the help I'm getting here has calmed things down considerably. However, there are times where it still feels like something's not right. It is definitely normal. Simply be with where you are and go easy on yourself. All is well.

I’m gonna need an answer to this too :/

Hi Halgal88*, sounds like the OCD bully is trying to ratchet up your anxiety levels because you aren’t letting your intrusive thoughts get to make you do your compulsions. First of all, congrats on doing ERP and being able to sit with your thoughts and not react to them. As Anonymous said, not giving into your compulsions is definitely key to making progress and it will take some time. And I wholeheartedly agree that you should be easy on yourself as you progress, especially if/when a slip up occurs as well as celebrate and be proud of every step you take towards taking your time and your life back from the OCD bully. Your feelings are perfectly normal and just means you are progressing, and depending on outside stressors or the particular compulsion you are trying to not give in to, that feeling of something not being right or off may be greater or lesser. Either way it means you are taking the food away from the OCD bully and that is a good thing and another reason to be proud of yourself. Keep up the good work, stay strong and best wishes.
