Is it possible to beat OCD?
Will there ever be a pint in my life where I can completely feel free of OCD and be semi normal?

Coming from someone who has conquered all the themes that have come my way, I can tell you with certainty that it is indeed possible. It takes time, patience, and a lot of self-love. OCD is a lifelong disorder, and it can come in waves. New themes may start up and impede on your progress, but it does not thwart your journey in the long term. There are lessons to be made of these obstacles, and they will help you mitigate and manage whatever trials you face in the future. You must face these episodes with great fortitude and understand that they are not indomitable. They will come and they will go. You will come out on top. Stay strong, OCD Radish:)
Yes, for sure! But it takes a long of work. It’s not going to be a quick fix.
YES, yes and yes.... You will know when you see your over thinking as a virtue and not an illness. You are just a special person who strive for perfection, and tries to have order and certainly in the world around them, but needs to realize that the world is not perfect, and has flaws by design. You wll learn not to suffer for the flaws of the world, and leave the flowed world suffer for its imperfect ion. Have a great weekend 😀
I'm going off to college tomorrow and I'm dreading it, I'm dreading everything. Though I didn't fully realize it, what I'm now almost certain is real event/pure-o OCD has been making my life feel completely miserable. From when I wake up to when I fall asleep, especially as of recent, I'm just constantly scared, anxious, guilty, and sad. I genuinely have not felt relaxed or happy in months, and it feels like there's no escape. When I'm taking a walk, hanging with family/friends, my mind is just racing and I can't live in the moment. Physically speaking it affects me too, my heart rate is high, short breath, sweaty, all how you would feel when you're nervous, but just all the time. This exact theme happened to me before in the past and latched on for a bit before fading, so I assumed that I grew out of it, and it hadn't hit me again for over a year until March. But now that it's on again and I actually recognized that I'm dealing likely with a mental disorder it just makes it feel so hopeless and unending, like this will forever be my life. The worst part is the nature of my OCDs, even if I know what I did isn't a big deal, is that it makes me guilty around anyone. Like I'm hiding something from everyone I talk to, and it makes me feel like I've lost all my innocence and I've lost the bright, happy, ambitious person I was before this all came back. All of this makes college so scary because all I can think about is how if I keep feeling like this I'll never be happy there, It's so hard to think optimistically or positively and this is just killing me day by day. I don't want reassurance because I know that just makes it worse, but is there anyone out there who's been in this sort of situation? If so, what did you do to manage, how did recovery look, what's your life like now? Any help would be appreciated so much.
Do you think one day in recovery they’ll be a day I don’t think about the fact I even have ocd?
I have had soocd for 5 years and it impacts me all day everyday every minute. I’ve read that some people only have it 1-2 times a month or for like two seconds a day and it scares me that I don’t have ocd. Because mine is legit constant and so scary
