OCD
OCD has taken a lot from me. I miss when I was able to live life and not feel so consumed with anxiety.

I feel you. I haven't traveled in over 6 years due to anxiety and I feel stuck because of the avoidance I use due to the Harm OCD thoughts. It's a lot of work, but I know we can get better, even when it feels like the cycle just keeps repeating itself. I have hope one day we will be stronger and have better lives. We just have to work for it.
Speak the truth. I wasted 10 years on this nonsense. I finally too the plunge here and man I feel likely a million bucks. This therapy works. My brain is finally unlocked and I can think and feel again. This place is where you will find healing
I’m a 20 yr old female, I think I’ve always had ocd but the symptoms didn’t become apparent to me until I was about 17. I feel like that’s where life went downhill for me. OCD attacks everything that is important to me, my sexuality, my morals, even my health. Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again and not have this vicious disease in my head constantly bullying me. But I know I will overcome it one day.
Makes me feel lost. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore.
I miss when I wasn't ruminating 24/7, waking up with horrible anxiety or spending all day doing compulsions. Even when I try so hard to resist them I just end up in a spiral. I miss when I was comfortable in my nonbinary identity and didn't have TOCD and now everything feels wrong and conflicting. I miss when I wasn't depressed and disabled. I know I can never get that person back. I haven't seen that person since high school. Ive spent years with this disorder and i havent gotten better despite therapy and meds. I don't know if I'll ever be happy again.
