Well I can tell you I've suffered with OCD since the age of 7.....I still remember my first intrusive thoughts like it was yesterday.....it turned my life on its head....not a day since has been OCD free, I was well past believing anything could really help .....I'm 58 and have been treated for the last year by an NOCD therapist, and my life is finally changing....for the first time I am starting to feel like I always should have, so I would say there is real hope for anyone with this illness.

This feels so real right now. Objectively I know I have so many great things in my life but I’m having the hardest time feeling gratitude or enjoyment for those things and it breaks my heart

@llm31 Yes is so hard being positive having gratitude while going through ocd is hard to enjoy life in general

I point I would make, is that I always felt that the problem, was the illness itself, that I had no control over it......but the truth is,... that it is our actions,....that keep the illness going, it only stays strong because we choose to continue with compulsions....which is within our control to stop.....not easy for sure, but we do have the power to take away OCDs control over our lives. It's that realisation and our willingness to act on it and nothing else I believe, that can make us better.

what if it’s not ocd
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do

Are we mentally disabled?
I know that sounds a bit harsh, but people with OCD think very differently then everyone else and we do strange things. I used to think OCD was just that we overthink to much and have compulsions to fix it, but its kinda alot more than that i realise. Like peoples lives are legit debilitated from this thing. Thats serious and i dont think others realise that. Mabye im concerned too much idk.
