Moving forward with my life

Before I started NOCD I felt like my life was going to be plagued by my anxiety and that I would never be able to maintain a long term relationship or engage with life in the ways that I wanted to. Now even though my OCD will always be a part of me I feel like it no longer has control of me or my thoughts. I have been able to learn to ride the waves of anxiety and learned to be gentle to myself and forgiving if I do give into a compulsion. Overall I never thought I’d be able to get to this point but here I am! I hope everyone else in this community can reach the same level of peace that I have.
