Is There Anymore Fun?

Ever since my OCD just kind of slowly faded into my life I feel as though there is no fun anymore. I went to an amusement park in October that I would’ve been so excited for before these symptoms, but when I went I was constantly being tortured being around so many people. And even at Christmas the most wonderful time of the year the thoughts still fought it’s way into my day. Ever since having OCD it’s been a living hell and nightmare, but I do wonder. Will I ever have fun again? Will I ever feel the joy for things I once did? Or will it be an endless cycle of torture for the rest of my time here? Idk, if you’ve successfully beaten OCD is it like what we all imagine it to be? Like before having OCD or is it still just as hard like it is for me now?

Of course there is. It’s up to you to have fun and decide to go out and have fun. Life keeps going and you have to jump onto the path of life to get anything out of it.

I feel the same way. For me, I think it is depression. Seems like I oscillate between anxiety and depression. The anxiety are the highs and once I come down from that I have lows. I can't tell if it's boredom or depression or if you are depressed, you are perpetually bored.

I'm just saying, force yourself to dance to music you like (or at least before this you used to like), I find that helps me a bit sometimes. Even if in the moment it feels dumb, your brain subconsciously remembers how good it was. Or something like that
