Hi , So i am slowly starting to feel better and i am still learning to dismiss the thoughts and let them pass its going well today i had literally no thoughts but one earlier that triggered my ocd but i ddnt let my fear rise and i felt the anxiety trying to spike i distracted myself but now i am questioning about how i am feeling better and how many things that triggered me before dont really scare me a lot or give me much anxiety as it use to when i was at my worst why am i questioning and and starting to fear to feel kinda “normal”/ better 😔

Thank you my best wishes for you aswell🙏
It sounds like you are getting the better of your OCD! It can take you by surprise and be a little bit disconcerting at first, as you are so used to the OCD controlling you.
It takes a bit of getting used to. It's a bit like freeing yourself from a 'friendship' with someone you don't really like but have got used to having around. And OCD does behave like a false friend, who bullies and manipulates you while claiming to have your best interests at heart.
Try not to question why you feel this way. Just enjoy having your freedom back and being able to enjoy family life. But feel free to continue posting.
Thank you for your reply ,i really try not to question but its just thoughts that pop up in my head like what if im agreeing to the thoughts and something will happen and i will snap out of nowere , why doesnt the things that scare me dont scare me what if i really am slowly becoming a bad/dangerous person and im not noticing it ughhh im really trying to just let these thoughts be and say to myself that its just ocd .
It really is just the OCD! It can be a little unnerving when you manage to fight back against the OCD. It's as though you are so used to having the false friend that is OCD on your shoulder that it can feel as though something has gone missing.
Don't let OCD spoil your recovery. Congratulations for fighting it so successfully! Don't let it tell you that you are a bad person, or dangerous or anything else like that. The thoughts should retreat to the back of your mind and you'll notice them less and less, just like other people do with their weird thoughts.
hi momof 2,at least normal is better than worst your getting their,by peek
Hey Mommyyof02, it’s ok to have any kind of thoughts because you are not your thoughts. Peace be with you!
Hi mommyyof02 I was the same the other day woke up didn’t feel anxious I was so fine then a thought way do I feel ok why did I not feel anxious at all? It was mad! But then a thought you do get good days and you will have bad days so I just got on with my day. I think it’s because you know how to let the thoughts pass and you should be very proud of your self! Well done girl ❤️ All the luck in the world xx
