POCD
I don't know what to do but I hate myself and I wish I didn't have this. I can barely function right now. I just want my life back.

Yes, these feelings are all too common for OCD sufferers. Please know that I—and the larger OCD community—are here for you and are wishing you a good recovery process. Keep on pushing, and keep on seeking out the things that help (i.e., therapy, ERP, mindfulness, self compassion, and so on).

You are an NOCD alumni, do you still have intrusive thoughts and do they still cause distress? I’ve had many themes and some thoughts still come back but they don’t bother me, but this current theme bothers me every time

@68273 Yes, I do. Recovery, as they say, is a life long process. There are ups and downs. I try my best. A realistic goal that we should all strive to achieve is getting to a point where we can manage the impact of intrusive thoughts in our lives to the point where we can be happy and enjoy life. This won't always be perfect, but progress can be made.

How long did it take for you to get to that point?
