Does it get better ?
I’m kinda losing hope and feeling defeated

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
@ThomasCC Thank you
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.
@Brooke cookie Thank you so much. And thank you for the YouTube channel recommendation, I'll look it up
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. 💜
@philofelist Thank you for your kind words 💜
Yes. It does. And you can get better. 💛
I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.
My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.
I just recently turned 51 and take medication for ocd but STILLhave major issues--i need some hope--🥰
