Recovery?
Can someone please tell me, what I can expect from recovery? So I have to love with this shit feeling forever or is it really going to get better? What does recovery look like?

I have been recovered for 4 years and I simply don’t care what OCD does. It’s funny to me—OCD is silly, a joke. I do not partake in compulsive behavior at all *because* I don’t care and that’s why I have very little intrusive thoughts/images/feelings. They will come up when I’m stressed out but I know not to interact. So yes you’re going to always have OCD but it’s wholly up you if you go down the OCD rabbit hole or not. I could start following the rabbit down the whole and start doing compulsions but… why would I do that? Compulsions make it worse and never better. I know that, therefore I never do it. I’ve been recovered from ALL my mental illnesses for 4 years and it took 6 years of intense therapy to get where I am.

For me Living with uncertainty of intrusive thoughts gets better along with no reassurance seeking also your feelings and emotions calm down so you can get on with day & sail through these storms more quickly when they arise it's tough going don't be to hard on yourself be kind to yourself every human being has good & bad days we are fallible no one is perfect stay strong ❤️

Those who recovered?
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?

I feel so broken
Hi all. It is my first week on here and I don’t think I was anticipating how broken I would feel when I started this process. I hope I can do this, but I have been at listening to these obsessions about my health for 30 of my 45 years on the planet. I thought I had things more together, but this year has been real bad for so many reasons and my cracks are really showing. I am not sure what my question is..maybe I just need to know people have come back from where I am.

OCD recovery
I think I’m in the recovery stage as my thoughts have settled so much & I only get intrusive thoughts on occasion and get worse only when I’m anxious, but the quietness in my brain feels so weird & I feel awful saying that because all I wanted was the thoughts to stop. This is the most quiet it’s been it’s over 7 months, so to go from non stop thoughts for a long time to quietness I don’t know how to take it. Has anyone else felt like this in recovery
