Matt, you are definitely getting better!!!
Right before I got better, think I mentioned this, I felt like a zombie. I call this transition period from better to worst "being zombiefied." Low feeling, like depression, but no tears and could still go through the motions, almost like a robot on autopilot. The OCD thoughts don't have much control, but now it's that strange feeling of - for lack of a better word - sadness, almost mourning. Like there, but not there, and not yourself.
Hang in there, you are so very close.

how long does this period normally last for you?

Goodness, Matt, I honestly don't really remember. If I had to say, I would say give or take about 3 - 5 weeks? Not completely certain. But that's me and mind you I have a very severe case of OCD/depression. I still have it but it's not acting up right now, so the symptoms are at bay. Like I always say, it's a wonder I'm still around today. I've exhausted all 9 lives and am living my bonus years now. Hence, trying to be God's hands and feet in doing his work.
It's a strange period. It's like I'm not myself entirely yet the OCD thoughts are not firing in my head. Like I said, it's almost like I'm numb and going through the motions. And I wanted to feel and cry, but I couldn't. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Like no feelings and my mind is usually foggy or blank. Take care, keep taking med, rest, take a walk, get a bit of sunlight, eat healthy stuff, try to laugh, read or do something you enjoy, no matter how small.

Trust me, you are at the beginning of this transition stage. The OCD thoughts will slowly continue to diminish in intensity and frequency. Just try to relax and do something relaxing to you.
