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

So I had a panic attack a while ago to “kill mom” and I forgot about the thought until a few days later. When it came back I was mentally drained and it lasted for 2 months or more. It eventually went away but it is back. I get other intrusive thoughts but they go away after a hour or so. Why am I stressing over “kill mom” so much. I just get irritated that it won’t go away. I’m beginning to think it’s a different mental illness maybe just anxiety? I’m not sure to be honest. It just appears and sits there and I feel like I’m doomed and a pyscho and worry that I’ll never forget the thought.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
