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. 💜

Hopeless
I know everything im dealing with is OCD. I have accepted that, but I just feel down. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I just want to be free from this horrible illness. Any positive stories and recovery journeys will help. What did recovery look like for you? I used to be so happy, I miss it so much. This feels like it’s taken everything from me. How do you just live your life despite how you feel? Any hope will help!

Tired of feeling like a bad person
I genuinely can't help but feel irredeemable over every little mistake made or regret I've had. It's so up and down, but I just miss the certainty. Knowing "this is who I am." I'm so disconnected from myself. Like, I'm really, really trying. Today is really rough... I got triggered the other night, and it's been hell since. I've been fighting seeking reassurance. I want it so, so incredibly bad, but I know it won't help me :( Some days, I just don't want to be here. It's funny because yesterday I felt amazing until I got triggered. I just immediately spiraled after that. I don't know. Does it genuinely get better? Will therapy really help me? Sometimes, I think maybe this is the best it'll get, and that scares me. Sorry for the vent. I'm just feeling so overwhelmingly anxious right now. I can't even cry (due to Zoloft). It feels claustrophobic somehow, having all these emotions trapped inside of my body with nowhere to go 😭

Does it ever get easier?
Please tell me it gets easier…it’s hard to hold on when it feels like it’s not going to ever.
