Just curious.....how many people who've received their " OCD Conqueror" badge still have regular intrusive thoughts that ramp up their anxiety?

What’s an ocd Conqueror badger? Whenever I’ve felt like ocd isn’t the boss of me anymore I still can get thoughts and they still shock me or disgust me but I find them so much easier to move on from than when am in a bad ocd episode. It’s like having two brains I just wish I never had to suffer with ocd and had anxiety my whole life all I ever remember as a kid is overthinking and worrying about things.

The conqueror badge is given when you are doing therapy with an noocd therapist and based on regular assessments and your anxiety level as a result they may say you're an ocd conqueror. At least that's how I interpret it. Of course I may be wrong

Yep! They don’t go away completely, unfortunately. I still have intrusive thoughts but they aren’t as persistent as before. My OCD mostly flares up during times of stress and/or depressive episodes. If I have a disturbing thought, it’ll def give me anxiety but it no longer consumes my day to day life. I’m able to recognize that it’s an intrusive thought and move past it. But ofc, I have moments where I fall back into my old habits and things get hard again.

I don’t display but I have the badge and still have intrusive thoughts and anxiety. The biggest difference is that I’m more able to catch and stop compulsions and handle the anxiety

I received mine too and also haven't acknowledged it because I still have work to do. In the end I'm in a better place now .

Sometimes I feel too old for OCD
Anyone else over 30 and dealing with thoughts that feel debilitating? I know I’m not alone, but I’m curious who else is with me.

OCD
So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?

Q&A About OCD w/ Someone’s Who’s Subclinical
I haven’t done a Q&A in over a year (my bad) but I used to do these at least once a month. Work is slow today, so please send me any questions you have about OCD and I’ll answer them as best as I can. A little about me: I’ve been subclinical/recovered for going on 5 years and I’ve been on this app volunteering since 2019 in an unofficial capacity—I’m not connected to the NOCD team, so I don’t have any badges. I did ERP treatment with my therapist in-person while I was also being treated for PTSD. I have OCD, PTSD, ADHD, depression, GAD, social anxiety, driving anxiety, and a few speech impediments.
