anthu Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) I still don't understand how it is possible that I don't feel anxiety when I have OCD (before I had it but little by little it was decreasing, now I feel very little). I receive CBT without ERP. But if I received ERP, how would I calculate my discomfort? Also something that has been bothering me for a long time is that sometimes I have involuntary movements in my legs or back, somehow my mind relates it to my thoughts. I don't know if it's another symptom like the groin response. Sorry if this post doesn't make sense. There have been times that I wanted to share other things on the forum but didn't because I didn't want to write it because I didn't want to somehow "relive" what happened. And I didn't ruminate, maybe I did it back then when I didn't know what OCD was all about. I am concerned about this because if I don't ruminate that means I don't have OCD.

I would not relate it to OCD but just a side effect of the particular medication. It has never happened with my more recent medication. I dont know if you take any medication but I am just sharing my observations with you. Edited June 2, 2022 by northpaul spelling Link to comment
