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. 💜

Does it really get better?
I’ve been dealing with ocd my whole life, and just got diagnosed about a year ago. I feel my days becoming occupied with thoughts, urges, fears and worry that completely debilitate me. It’s getting to the point where i feel like it’s taking over my life. I don’t see this getting any better, even with the therapy and medication I’m on. I’m scared my life will be like this forever, I’m tired. My brain is tired of ruminating every second of every day from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I’m not sure how much longer I can go on like this.

Frustration
I feel like every day I try to sit with uncertainty, but it just feels never ending. Like I receive a little bit of hope and get to the top of one hill and feel like things may get better in a while, there's another hill right in front of me that feels more frightening. It's really frustrating. I know it's the nature of this disorder but ughhhhh

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.
