I understand completely. OCD isn’t forever though. We can get out of this. We will one day be back to our normal selves, maybe you should think of trying medication if you’re not on it already

I thought it didn’t go away? What meds are you on?

@Bnd1 I was on Luvox and I just got off of it because it made me worse. But I’ve heard of medication helping a lot of other people. I’m on Anafranil now on my 2nd day so hopefully I’ll get a miracle

i relate to this so much. as someone who has struggled with ocd my entire life but felt it begin to kick up horribly a few years ago it felt like biting the forbidden apple, like i gained a knowledge and perspective i could never get rid of. but, looking back i have to say that with some medication and pushing myself to live my life despite what my brain tells me, there can be an after just like there was a before. it ebbs and flows and we just have to adapt. i’m sending positive energy your way❤️

It could go away though. I've had long periods with little to no obsessions, where I've been able to focus on other things without OCD ruining my days. Currently I'm going through a relapse, but I'm trying to manage, knowing there will most likely be good days again. I have no reason to think that it couldn't be the same for you! ☺️ Having anxiety is a lot like having chronic pain. You'll have good days and you'll have bad days. The important part is that a day with anxiety doesn't have to be ruined! Instead of deciding that your life can never be good again because you have OCD, try to find the things that makes it good anyway. We only have this one life, so we have to make the best of the cards that are dealt to us. Have a good day and I wish you the best of luck in the future 😊

Yeah I think that’s why I’m scared of them. I don’t want to be worse. I don’t feel like my ocd is that’s bad yet. Praying for your miracle!

Missing when I felt ok.
I miss when I wasn't ruminating 24/7, waking up with horrible anxiety or spending all day doing compulsions. Even when I try so hard to resist them I just end up in a spiral. I miss when I was comfortable in my nonbinary identity and didn't have TOCD and now everything feels wrong and conflicting. I miss when I wasn't depressed and disabled. I know I can never get that person back. I haven't seen that person since high school. Ive spent years with this disorder and i havent gotten better despite therapy and meds. I don't know if I'll ever be happy again.

Hopeless
I know everything im dealing with is OCD. I have accepted that, but I just feel down. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I just want to be free from this horrible illness. Any positive stories and recovery journeys will help. What did recovery look like for you? I used to be so happy, I miss it so much. This feels like it’s taken everything from me. How do you just live your life despite how you feel? Any hope will help!

I’m so tired I just wanna be free
I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression
