Hi all
Is it ok to some times have bad days and good days some times I wake up and don't feel any ocd anxiety or anxious at all then I worry thinking why do I feel ok this morning for? I'm I a bad person to feel ok after having really bad intrusive thoughts ? I can never win 🙈 I just hope this gets better for me

I experience this, too!
I know you read my recent post and I have just stopped having therapy but when I was if I was having a ‘good day’ on my therapy day, I’d feel so guilty and like a fraud for even being there.
This all seems to be part of OCD/anxiety unfortunately. I think we just have to try to accept it and go with it and do our best to enjoy those days when we feel less anxious - try to keep busy so you don’t have time to dwell on why you’re ‘ok’ so much. I know that’s much easier said than done!
Thanks for reply, I have really bad thoughts it sucks so bad I I'm getting CBT at tho mo for CAD for my worry ano people get thoughts all day everyday I can just be chill and bang I get a intrusive thoughts a have anxiety so bad I have had suicide thoughts they scare the life out of me I have had intrusive thoughts that I could hurt some one av never hurt any one in my life it just feels so real
It can with the right help.
I am far from cured but my last CBT therapist helped me see things in a different light.
Because I too have thought I am a bad person for having these awful thoughts he asked acquaintances if they thought someone was a bad person for having these thoughts and recorded their replies and gave me the tape to to keep. They all said they have had random disturbing thoughts but they don’t hold on to them like someone with OCD does and that is what feeds the thoughts.
I hope this helps you x
It's a condition that fluctuates a lot. I can be so bad that I can barely get out of the house, and run out of basic things like tea or coffee or bread because I have trouble getting to the shops.
But then I can go out and enjoy myself almost like normal people! And get on with things I need to do and things that are fun, too.
Try not to worry about it. If it's a good day, don't obsess about it and just take advantage of it to do what you need or want to. If it's a bad day, don't beat yourself up about it, take things easy if possible, and remember that you will have good days as well.
Intrusive thoughts are horrible, but they are not what you're about. It doesn't make you a bad person. It's just that with OCD they stick around in your brain instead of floating off the way they do with other people.
