I feel recovered…for the most part
Yes I will still do some checks here and there but my anxiety is nothing like it was before. If anyone needs help let me know :)

You may feel a slight annoyance because you don’t want to be that way, a frustration niggling in the background saying “what’s wrong with me?” “Why do I feel this way”

Well, for me recognising that this is normal when suffering from OCD, sometimes the anxiety got too much so your body went into shutdown mode. It sucks because you can’t feel much, it feels pretty neutral and bland, you want to feel but can’t. Knowing and accepting that this is normal and that will pass helps me. Not judging yourself for having it and not expecting yourself to be any different for the time being. You are as you are in that moment and that is okay 🌸

I am so happy for you!!!💖💖 Can I ask you how do you start trasted your decisions? I can decide if I want my ex back or not. I can't decide if I want to like by my own or not. I can't decide if I want to drive or not. And it's so frustrating

Recovery is possible
Just wanted to give some hope to those who are having ocd spikes, spirals and worries. This past year I have regained my life back. I went from beginning to isolate myself, being convinced by my ocd that my hobbies are bad and that I should avoid things I enjoyed, and having constant panic attacks. With the work of IOP, psychiatry and nocd, I have made great strives towards my future. I now don’t avoid things and instead embrace my life and ANY possibility that may come. Don’t let the ocd bully you. Yes, I have intrusive thoughts still but I am able to go about my day instead of obsessing over them. You can find this too. I encourage anyone on the fence to please seek help if you are in a tough time, it can literally save your life.

You will be okay! There is hope!
Hey people! Hope you all are doing well. I used to use this app back in time, when I was dealing with many subtypes of ocd, mainly related to my sexuality. But, today, I live a life free of of obsessions, at least in terms of my sexuality. I do think that I still have a way to go to get better in terms of mental health - yet I'm not ruining my life over silly thoughts. When I have time and energy, I will write about my experience and story. But, for now, please know that what you are going through at the moment is only temporary. You will feel good inside your skin one, hopefully very soon. If you need a company or a person to vent to, please let me know! I can listen. I emphatise with you all and send you love. best, caleb
