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

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.

I'm struggling with a lot of doubts today, but trying the best I can to keep on living my life 🥲 I'm on 150mg of Sertraline right now, and honestly, I'm feeling a lot better than before. Do I still get triggered? Yes! But I'm handling it easier. The only issue is, I feel like I'm obsessing over recovering? Not if I'm doing it "right," but more so getting to a point where I feel "perfect." That's not possible, I know. Even before OCD spiraled out of control, I struggled with other issues on a daily basis. But life felt simpler back then, and I didn't have this magical (and annoying) ability to remember every single bad thing that's ever happened to me or every single intrusive thought I've ever had in extreme detail 😭 Whenever I'm feeling okay, I can not help but think, "Remember how bad it was (insert time-frame)?" And then my mind zip zaps through every instance I've ever felt anxiety, like...? I don't even know if it's me doing this or if its OCD, but it frustrates me so, so much when it happens. Anyway, that's all for now... If anyone can relate, we're in this together 🤍 Hang in there!
