Genuine question

I have my ups and downs like anyone else, but for the most part I feel like I've made enough progress to the point where the idea of me "having OCD" barely crosses my mind on most days. In other words, I don't feel debilitated by it like I have in the past, and it isn't preventing me from living my life and doing the things I want to do. The tendency to slip into the obsession/compulsion loop is still there, but I'm able to spot it much earlier, and utilize the tools I've learned to prevent any sort of spiral. As a plus, I feel that I'm better equipped to detect compulsive behavior than those that have never had issues with OCD (everyone compulsively tries to avoid feeling or thinking certain things to some degree, not just those with OCD).

Hey there! This might not be the answer you’re hoping for, but yes! The thing is, to conquer OCD doesn’t mean that this chronic illness will never rear its ugly head ever again in your life, but rather to conquer it means to have that damn disease on a leash, knowing that though it can be a scary animal to live with, it knows that you’re the boss and YOU now know that you can live with life’s uncertainties, you are no longer afraid of it and will no longer be a slave to what it demands of you. That isn’t to say that it is gone for good, but rather that your brain is strong enough to the point where even when OCD shows up, you beat it every time. This is my understanding after years of battling, but I hope it’s helpful!

Yes, I saw posts from many. The problem is once they feel better, they don't want to come back

I believe i have. That is not to say it wont re-group and try another attack in weeks/months/ or even years, but I know how to beat it then just as I have beaten it now. I am very happy
