Honestly I don’t think I have pure O but I guess you never know. Life without ocd is not constantly worrying about something, you aren’t obsessed with something. Also I noticed since I’ve had ocd I’m more in my head if that makes since. I’m always thinking about what’s going on in my head. Before ocd I never really noticed what I was thinking about I just kind of did it. I never really thought about something too much. Idk if that makes since?

I didn’t really have anything else, I had hocd in 5th grade and then it stopped for a couple of years. But I noticed when I was younger I would do things like constantly worry that my homework would be gone so I would check my folder over and over because my mind would say it wasn’t there. I also used to open the shower curtain because my mind would say “if you don’t open it a monster will get you” that was when I was really young

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.

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.
