ocdsufferer85 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Then It returns badly for ages..its like cycles... What I see on my good days no longer comforts me when it gets bad again I can see it in better proportion on the good days....but the bad..theres no stopping it, it blows up and nothing reassures me. On the bad days I'm certain it's all my fault and I did something bad and can't escape the guilt. The good days I get a bit of 'hope'...hope that it's illness...I see myself as maybe a victim of the illness and things seem smaller. But it builds up...and never stays away. Any advice on how to keep having 'good days' Edited February 13, 2018 by ocdsufferer85 Link to comment

PolarBear Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think you should be happy that you are having good days. That's an improvement over where you were. Link to comment
ocdsufferer85 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi there, the bad days are returning unfortunately but I have just had a thought, OCD makes you feel like you could act on a thought even though you don't want to. So I'm thinking thats what happened to me. It felt so real...yet I'm not intending to do it. I am trying to keep positive it's hard work though. Therapy on Monday. Oh....I got engaged yesterday! So I want to feel happy and not let this monster ruin my life. Its a hard one to beat when it catches you off guard and you begin you hate yourself for being either careless, cocky or tricked.
