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!

Afraid I’ll never be able to stop thinking
My OCD has been terrible the for the past two weeks. I have a fear that I will never be able to get out of the thought loop. I am hyper aware of my thoughts and it disturbs me. I haven’t been able to eat for 10 days. I force myself. I haven’t been able to sleep for more than a couple hours. Then I wake up and ruminate for a couple hours, until I’m exhausted. I’m also afraid I’ll never sleep well again. And I’m afraid I’ll never eat and enjoy my food again. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to stop thinking about this enough to enjoy my family ever 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 tired
I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I’ve lost so much weight due to this mental illness. I sleep 18 hours a day to escape these thoughts. I grieve my old self so much. I miss crushing on men, I miss loving men, I miss dressing up nice and get compliments from men, I miss listening to music and daydream about my dream man. I miss wanting to get married and have my own kids with my dream husband. All of those things… I’ve desired them so much and I’ve daydreamed about them so much. My OCD is telling me that it’s all fake. I miss my old desire and love for men. I’m so tired of being alive. I’m so tired of seeing multiple posts where people who apparently suffered from SOOCD became their fears. I’m so tired. Cause y’all probably didn’t even have ocd in the first place idc. I will say it again, has it been someone with pocd or harm ocd and their obsessions/fears became true NONE of y’all would’ve had the same reaction. Stop normalizing soocd obsessions becoming true. It is someone’s worst nightmare. People are out here attempting because of it.
