Hi, I was wondering if it was unusual for my OCD (I am diagnosed) to somehow rapidly get worse over a few weeks. My compulsions and intrusive thoughts have gotten a lot worse, including new compulsions. I know you can't actually do anything I just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this ect thanks :)
yes, its very possible for it to rapidly get worse, and also for it to rapidly get better. IME my ocd usually works in episodes, and while the periods of severe ocd usually last a very long time, their initial onset is usually pretty quick instead of a gradual decline. the first time i had a major episode was literally like someone flipped a switch and it was like i went from being mentally healthy to being a paranoid wreck within a matter of days. im still not sure what exactly caused it, but it definitely happened, and its definitely possible.
