As horrifying as it seems you can never get rid of pure ocd it stays with you, you just have to keep on top of it and keep happy remembering that whatever problems you facing (ocd wise) they are not you and just the disease that is messing up your mind, it also helps to keep it at bay with a therapist. You must find someone to talk to no matter how bad the thoughts, you never committed the act only had a thought. Good luck

I’ve been dealing with pure ocd for years now. it seems that i’ve recovered from having compulsions and graduated to having just pure, horrible obsessions and fixations. which for me is even worse. for me what helps is just remembering and telling myself “this isn’t real, this is just ocd”. it’s way easier said than done though. also SELF CARE: it’s so easy to neglect taking care of ourselves especially when we’re going through something as bad as that. when you’re in a stressful environment or situation, that’s when you’ll notice the obsessions getting worse. see if there’s anything you can improve in your lifestyle, are you sleeping enough? and are you eating regularly? all this impacts the state of your brain soooo much, and i’ve only realized this recently

Anyone here recovered from severe OCD with NOCD? I’ve had it for thirteen years and just feel like my ocd will never get better because I’ve had it for so long and it’s so severe right now

How long?
This OCD recovery may take longer than I thought. Am I really doing it wrong or am I not 100% committed to recover from OCD? There’s got to be a way to me to “reduce” my compulsions. For now, I’m not sure how long until I start seeing good results. Could it take years for me to recover?

Newly diagnosed
I was recently diagnosed with OCD. Probably more along the lines more of Pure O. . . Very very distressing intrusive thoughts and fears. I can see how it's likely been an issue most of my adult life but really exacerbated lately. It's exhausting. Has caused a significant disruption in my life and it Feels like a constant mental battle. Has anyone had luck with medication? I was recommended for lexapro. Tried it for 3 days and felt awful. Is the ERP therapy usually effective without medication? I'm on the wait list for a nocd therapist as they say they don't currently have any available in my state.
