If you don't go in the right direction, no. If you do, then yes.

I think things do, that’s also comes with the understanding that things get bad sometimes and that’s okay. Everyone has bad days you know? Sometimes it just takes knowing that the light at the end of the tunnel is there, even if you can’t see it yet. Keep pushing through

Yes, it does get better but you have to learn how to treat your OCD so that you can recover. I highly recommend looking up the YouTube channel anxiety and OCD. It’s a pretty good Free resource to learn the basics of OCD.  I know OCD is hard but it is very treatable. I highly recommend learning how to treat it right the first time so you don’t relapse like I did but I have lived many years without my OCD symptoms before I relapsed and I’m hoping learning how to treat it more properly this time I will not relapse again.  please stay strong I know OCD is hard.

it will get better, but you will have to work very hard for it to do so. ocd is a bitch and cannot be solved with logic or thinking alone. it requires patience and a lot of compassion for yourself, which is the hard part. i promise, you will be okay. 💜

I feel hope
Ill be honest, I want to write a letter if anything happens, if I loose this battle and put and end to it. But even if my thoughts keep coming, I try to keep my head up, stand up strong and look them at them for what they are, thoughts. I’m still scared, I still can’t go to sleep normally, but I feel a tiny bit of hope. I really hope my feeling is right, I really hope. Whathever happens, I’m still proud of myself, I’m still proud of my achievements, I am proud of me. Whathever happens, please don’t forget This message. Please, don’t forget me

Anyone else experience this?
I feel like in some ways receiving a diagnosis for OCD has in some ways made things worse. I’ve always had what I called “phases” throughout life, which I now know were ocd episodes, but I didn’t really make too much of them and even if it was over several long difficult months, they’d always seem to kind of just pass. Recently I’ve begun my worse flare up in the last few years and now that I’m older I seemed professional help which led to my diagnosis. This all sounds great of course but I can’t actually afford therapy right now so I kinda just have the diagnosis but not the support so now that I realize these phases are actually this incurable mental illness I just feel like I’ve lost all hope that I’ll ever be happy and I feel like I basically obsess about obsessing at this point and it just sucks. Has anyone else had this or a similar experience?

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
