Finally OCD free
Finally OCD free after struggling with HOCD for a little while. Just posting this to show that freedom is possible if you keep doing ERP.

Can you give me some insight on backdoor spike and feeling like you want it? I’m on the end of backdoor spike, like what does it mean that I don’t have anxiety? What does it mean that it feels like I would be ok with it etc etc. I’m just accepting all thoughts and feelings as much as possible but I still find myself doing some mental compulsions

@68273 I mean if he lying if I was saying I can give the best advice Bcz I’m knee deep in this shit right now, but what I do know is that I know many many many people have recovered from this and that the stage ur currently in is like the final hurdle. Jus stick with it

@68273 If you are doing ERP consistently, that’s great. It’s all about time. This thing just takes time that’s all. As long as anxiety is trending downwards then your good.

@68273 The way you worded it “it feels like I’d be ok with it” hits home for me. That thought and feeling makes it seem so real and true right? And then you get stuck cos you think you’re just denial? It’s horrible :(

@gp Yup, like am I really ok with it? Why am I ok with it if I’m not ok with it? Lol and so the cycle continues

@Anonymous I’m not gonna say them bc it’s kind of bad to say on this app, but basically doing extreme exposures over time is what worked for me. Basically embrace the thoughts. It sounds counter intuitive but trust me it works.

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.

Severe SOOCD to nearly gone!!
Feeling hopeful. Pasta days I’ve felt pretty much myself. My attraction to the opposite gender has come back in stages. False attraction to same gender is there but not as near strong as before. It’s like my brain knows it’s OCD. I have been through hell in the past months, really really severe SOOCD. But I see the that this does not define who I am and my values! Keep strong and fight on.
