We seem to be in a quite similar situation...in the last year and a half my OCD was quite under control, I had less compulsions and I was less scared by my obsessions. In this period it's getting worse

. I try to ignore the obsessions, like I was learning to do, but most of the time I can't. I wonder if our symptoms are getting worse for some reason, or if it's 'normal' to have up and down. However, I hope that your 'up' comes soon
