Yes!! You will likely always be a caring person, and think deeply about things, but it won't always be so stressful to deal with your thoughts and feelings. The longer you work on your OCD and learn about why you do the things you do, the easier things become. OCD tendencies may ebb and flow as you continue to work on your mental health, and you will probably respond to stressors in your life with some OCD behaviors for a while, but it will get easier and easier to get rid of them, and with time, you can get to the point where you don't have to compulse ever again. You can and will be free of this someday. Your compassionate and caring heart are your superpower, and someday caring so much isn't going to hurt, it's going to feel beautiful and fulfilling the way it is supposed to. It's going to be such a relief. It's hard work but you can do this!

There have been cases where it’s dissipated completely but for the mass majority your OCD can still linger. This is because OCD gets more instense the more triggers you have. These triggers create obsessions and compulsions then your on the road to what feels like a never ending cycle. That’s why it’s feels so hard. Once your mind gets into a pattern it sticks. There was a point in my life where it felt completely gone. I’ve had OCD in many forms since young. It started out with the fear of germs then it became health OCD, I began to get intrusive thoughts later on. It progressed in different forms. Then one day I realized all the work I did to heal myself helped. I felt “normal” no anxiety or anything. Stress makes my OCD come to light. During this peaceful period I happened to get into the loving relationship I’m currently in and started to develop what I believe is ROCD. So it all depends. Your mind is powerful and you can make it experience anything. Don’t be a prisoner to your mind. Easier said then done but I know it’s possible with time

Does anyone else ever have this fear that maybe they are gonna be stuck with this illness forever? I keep getting mixed answers so I never know if OCD really can go away or not and even though I'm doing alot better now with medication, I sometimes get really sad and start thinking that I'm always gonna be like this and that I don't want a life with OCD

Does anyone else with real event ocd find it pops up every few months and gets worse, then better? Like for me I'd try to repress it so I wouldn't feel anything about the subject, then months later BAM I feel such intense guilt and disgust with myself that I'm back to square one. I just wish I knew how to move on from this feeling and experience, but how can I, when I feel like a monster over something I'd done 8 years ago? Will I ever move on?

Does anyone ever get over an ocd thought, then weeks later boom it comes back and you spend the next However long it takes getting over it again and start thinking what if something really did happen. Iv spent the last few months going back over this thought and keep thinking it’s real!
