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!

Sometimes I worry that I don’t have ocd and that I’m losing my mind and that I’ll never feel better again. I was starting to feel really good last night and I thought it was finally over so I went ahead and did a lot of the stuff I enjoyed doing before this happened (the reason I had to stop was because certain things were triggering in either one way or another) but eventually I hit a point where I just could not bring myself to do something because it was causing too much anxiety. I got this horrible image last night in a dream and then I began to get a flurry of bothersome thoughts, so now I have 2 obsessions to worry about now. The first one is kind of in control but I’m just afraid what’s going to happen to my brain and I’m worried about having an episode in front of my family, who I’m supposed to be having a small dinner with today. I don’t want to tell them what’s going on but I’m afraid they’ll notice that I’m not well. I’m never present because I’m always in my head analyzing and ruminating and worrying. The feeling last night gave me hope that I could be myself again but I just worry that these thoughts will always linger and make me lose my mind. :(

Ocd takes joy out of everything
Anyone notice it’s hard to enjoy things before your brain felt like it broke? My family is the nicest kindest people and I feel like I spend so much time on ocd that I don’t even enjoy them. I put on a smile but on the inside I don’t feel genuine. My faith has also been a huge part of my life and I’m just numb to everything right now. Hope everyone is having a good weekend and can enjoy things.
