Highs and lows
Does anyone have really good days and then the next day just absolutely sucks? I felt like I was fine yesterday but now today I just feel really anxious and like something bad is gonna happen.

Yes I absolutely experience this as well. It’s apart of the treatment. It is supposed to bring up distress it evs and flows

@miavirden Yeah I hate when all day feels great but as soon as you lay down for bed it hits you

@Grizzz - and when you're actually feeling calm and relaxed it and acknowledge it you go into anxiety / spiral because something must be wrong if were not shaking in fear. so frusterating

@miavirden Going through my first episode going on 2 months. And I get this sooo often. I’ll have reallllly bad days then like 2-3 good days in a row. And my mind says “remember how disturbing this was for you? No way it can be gone cause it was so life changing”. And then I fall right into another pattern.

@JoeM36 - Yes ! Sometimes in those moments it's like I have to feel anxiety and panic to make sure I don't want those thoughts and feelings. It's so horrible ! This happened to me last night had a great day and as soon as I turned off the lights to go to sleep I immediately felt uncomfortable and slightly spiraling and feeling so scared. Night time is always a big issue for me. It's so hard, but I'm here for you!! You will get through this and we deserve to have good days !!

@miavirden Does it get in the way of your life? Like you almost can’t function type of thing? I had to leave work the other day. And usually I’ll have like 8/10 bad day. Which sucks. But my 10/10 bad days I just pace cause I’m so anxious my body doesn’t know what to do. So I left work early cause it’s too much.

@miavirden Also, it’s always the morning for me. Night time I have some relief. But mornings are heavvvvvvy.

@JoeM36 - Yes I 100% can relate to this when your fight or flight is so high it makes you so uncomfortable and anxious that you feel like you want to jump out of your own skin or escape yourself in those moments yes pacing for sure. I usually lay in bed and hold onto my bear lol and try to just take deep breaths until I fall asleep when I am that uncomfortable. It truly sucks. & Yes mornings can be rough espeically when you are struggling heavily back to back and at night ( Nights are usually worse for me ) and then I get emotional anxious the following morning from the trauma of all of it. Are you starting ERP and have you considered medication? Sending SM love I know how hard this is. Im here for you

Yes. Sometimes I think this happens to me because I want the next day to be as good as the day before — and this makes me/my OCD latch onto anything that isn’t as good or is imperfect.
