Yes :) it’s definitely different for everyone. For me it took about a month to be able to function like a semi normal person. I say that because yes the thoughts are still there but I’m able to live with it. Something id also like to give advice for is, it can and most likely will try to creep back into your life. It’s crept back into mine and I’m trying to work on it again. This time it might even take less time since I’ve done it before. You can do this <3

@RippleWiffle Also I’m sure the type of ocd has an effect on how long it will take. Forgot to add that :)

Mines only got better when I had a mental break down and from then it’s been a whole year and I can say now in February it’s gotten way more tame and I still have thoughts but they don’t bother me as much and I don’t have to do the mental compulsions anymore

I had mine under control pretty quick the first time around. And this time it’s trying to morph I give in to compulsions when I am exhausted and tired and just want a release from the annoyance but it comes back tenfold not worth it. I had it tame for three years and this time it hasn’t been as bad but it still has been frustrating at times. It’s hard. We go through phases this will pass and I really do hope it gets better and stays away longer next time around :)
