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 .

? for those who consider themselves “recovered”…
If you suffer from taboo themes, and deal with groinal responses… Do you feel they have disappeared? Do you still notice them? For myself, they have become so engrained/automatic , so while i do not get “anxious” by them anymore i still can clock them & it can feel discouraging … What are your experiences?

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?

Ocd pattern
Sometimes I notice my intrusive thoughts cause me to spiral and sometimes not. I've been practicing ERP for quite a while so it's a bit easier for me to not spiral. But I wonder why that happens. Does anyone else have it? Also I'm on medication idk if that plays a role.
