It’s absolutely possible! OCD took me to some of the darkest times of my life when it was at its worst and especially as I didn’t know what it was, I thought I was just doomed to feel the way I did forever. Intense intrusive thoughts 24/7 and unable to go 30 seconds without doing mental compulsions. Now it’s a completely different story. I can’t remember the last time I did a compulsion or that OCD actually really bothered me or interrupted my day. You can absolutely have that too. I’ve had every common theme that you can think of, so I can safely say none of them are any better than others, BUT none of them are any less treatable than others and they’re all the same. So whatever your theme is, know that you are not alone and it is highly treatable and recovery is totally possible!! :)))

It really is so possible. I was diagnosed in my early 20s after years of symptoms, ranging from compulsive repetitive behaviors to Pure Obsessions across various themes. OCD took over my life until I got effective treatment. I am now able to control my symptoms and have a life back. Therapy is critical in learning how to manage this and preventing the obsessive thoughts taking over. Have you done any ERP on NOCD before?

It is Absolutely possible. I mainly struggle with ROCD and Scrupulosity. I take sertraline which helps. NOCD IS HUGE.

My ROCD focuses around whether my wife is a good fit for me. When I am struggling, I ruminate on real or perceived imperfections that I see in her. My ROCD also attacks my relationship with my parents and brother. It basically tells me that they think my wife is bad for me. An impartial observer would almost certainly tell me that they think she is great for me.

How are you doing? Did you manage to get scheduled with a therapist here?
