Honestly the NOCD community has been so helpful to be in. Being surrounded by people that understand what your going thru really helps. I always tell myself that this is not forever. I will not always feel like this. I imagine freedom from OCD. What it will look like for me and feel like. I meditate on that and I know i will be free one day. We all will. 100% recovery is possible!

I tell myself that I’ve recovered from other themes in the past, so I’m capable of recovering from the one I’m going through now. I know this is no different than the others, even though my brain wants to convince me otherwise.

Remembering that each time I was in an OCD flare, I became convinced I would never have a good day again, but that’s never been true.

I know it’s who I am meaning that this is part time of me. I can’t run away from it but I also can be aware that it hasn’t stopped me from having a beautiful life career family etc. I experience true joy and sometimes my struggles are isolating and hard as hell but I hang on because I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE IVE BEEN GIVEN. I love being able to check in with all of you and also respect and appreciate all your voices and energy. Do yes I have OCD and I guess in its own way it contributes to making me who I am but I am not OCD! I am a human being with lots of love to share and everyday I get to be here w my family and loved ones is a miracle to behold!!! Rock on my fellow warriors. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

“None of this makes any sense sometimes, but it also doesn’t have to. Life is strange and existing can be such a struggle sometimes, but I know that whatever happens I’m going to decide to be okay. I will adapt, privet, and work through the ups and downs of life because a life fully lived is a life filled with ups and downs. Right now I’m having a down— but my up is nearing soon” That’s an old passage from my journal ♥️ hope it suffices

What has helped you?
OCD is a struggle, what has personally helped you to get past it? I am going to see a therapist soon once my insurance starts up, but in the meantime, what are small tactics that help you?

Keeping Yourself Encouraged
Hello all, I’ve been dealing with OCD for years, and doing ERP therapy for several months to a year, and trying to really dive into doing exposures. I’ve done better with some triggers, and have improved since I first discovered I had OCD, but I still have the almost constant undercurrent of anxiety and I can get so tired. I don’t want to fall into feeling like this is going to last forever, but I also want to be realistic about the chronic nature of OCD. Do you have any tips for how you keep yourself encouraged even after what seems like a long recovery journey?
