I started therapy for OCD and now I feel like I don’t even have it 💀 is this normal for starting therapy with anything? Like I could have a bad week but the second the session starts, I feel absolutely fine and like nothing is wrong

Also on a related note. I feel like, ever since starting therapy, I’m TRYING to give myself OCD. Does this make sense? Like I’ll have an intrusive thought and then be like “literally stop you’re just making yourself think this to make yourself feel less guilty abt going to therapy”???

Yk I feel like this happens when I go to the doctor for physical symptoms too, so I imagine it’s normal. I wouldn’t know from experience yet bc I just got diagnosed but I constantly feel like I’m lying about my somatic symptoms, let alone feel like I’m lying about OCD symptoms, so I’ll probably experience this too 😭😭

This post seems a bit like reassurance seeking, so what I will say is: you might be making this up, and so what?
