Depends on the person, when I've been well it's been at a manageable level so it doesnt need to be gone completely in my opinion

cause its doesn’t really be all that bad unless im around a bad environment(family) which that what im currently around when i leave from them i feel a big relief and good , they get mad if nobody doesnt want to be around them , they too toxic and evil im 25 going on 26 i feel like im being control demanded and stuck sometimes i cant even go no where to enjoy myself cause they want me to sit in the house all day and do everything in the house while there’s other people in the same house can help out but they always depending on me and if i give them the answer” no” they get very mad at me and start confusing making up to stuff to start drama.. i miss a few jobs opportunities i had an orientation i couldnt even go to that and my doctor appointments like checkups, and from being sick and even to talk to my counselor its like they trying to stop me from reaching out for help and taking care of my health they get mad at that to they be saying that im not sick or depressed and that if i wanted to kill myself i would have been did it they said that i dont have no mental illness they laugh at me when i tell them im feeling weak and under distress i lost my father they made lies of him after he pass away and i didnt have no support from them sometimes they make fun of me calling me slow and broke and never apologize but always trying to give me money after something bad happen like to try to keep me from reporting them. i was abuse and torture by my aunte when i was a child, sometimes i wake out my sleep shaking and couldnt barely breathe from bad dreams about me gettin abuse and fuss at and whats currently going on now and i end up using the bathroom in my clothes and i woke up one morning i dont even remember how did i get in my greatgrandma room but i was just standing and everything disappeared and appeared back i went to the emergency room and they said they cant seem to find whats wrong ..i just want to move far away from them but i dont think they will let me :”-(

I'm honestly not sure. My psychiatrist told me that I won't have to battle it so fiercely and that some of my conditions might go away completely once I find the right combination of medications and therapy. I was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD and BPD. Im not sure if some being untreated led to others forming which is why he is not sure what will stick around and what will go away. It's honestly been a lot to handle and I've felt like an alien. But know that whether your symptoms fade or go away completely, you can get better if you take the step to seek help. It will be difficult to get through but worth it in the end :)

Heres what I know, i had harm ocd. I healed but its not like there was no obsessiveness in me. I was the same me, just lost the fear of that thing in particular. So I am still more anxious than others, prone to depression. I just wasnt suffering evety day like I had. I felt very normal if thats a thing. But since I have these tendencies I did relapse. Not into the same form.. now I have something else I am fighting. It had been 10 good years though.

im not sure what kind of OCD i have i went to the emergency room the beginning of the year around january 12 i went there to get help cause i wanted to end my life cause of family they not supportive or caring and are very evil people. as a counselor came in she told me she doesnt feel safe of me going back home to them after i told her everything what happen cause thats how evil my family is but she started asking me more questions like about my self and i told her that i hate a messy dirty place, room, bathroom, kitchen and etc. and i hate when people move my stuff out of place where i have everything neat and organized including my clothing, shoes. i like to stay in the bathroom a little longer when showering making sure i clean myself good and flossing and brushing my teeth because i hate when food get stuck between my teeth and stains on them thats why i barely eat i drink smoothies, protein shakes and juices like plain crandberry juice with no sugar or cocktail, and water and if i do eat, it have to be some type of food that dont get stuck too much in my teeth like grits , spaghetti, afredo, and then i turn around floss and brush my teeth and dont eat for days/sometimes weeks and they get at me for that and the counselor explain everything to my mom about me having OCD , she didnt seem like she wasnt trying to hear it , my mom got mad at me and start making faces and making fun of me to even when i dont realize my mouth be moving around twitching until she say something and sometimes my baby brother and other people in the house finds it funny of me repeating folding my rag after i dry off my face and even when im brushing my teeth if i get toothpaste around my mouth and washing my hands and cutting my phone screen on and off and switching to different apps and sometimes i dont be remembering doing all of that

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?

I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

I started dealing with OCD when I became fixated on health issues, particularly the fear of contracting a life-threatening disease. If I experienced any kind of medical symptom, no matter how small, that even remotely hinted at something potentially fatal, it would drive me crazy, and I couldn’t stop obsessing over it. Then one day, I started having intrusive thoughts about accidentally hitting someone with my car, and I would end up driving in circles to check if I had. Eventually, I found myself overwhelmed by a flood of new obsessive thoughts and compulsions. One day, while I was at the park, a squirrel came near me, and for some reason, I felt like it attacked me. I Googled it and learned that squirrels could carry rabies, which spiraled me into a deep fear of rabies. I became consumed with the thought I received a bite from a squirrel, raccoon, or bat any time I’m in areas that trigger me. It started off only being inside then transferred to even being in my own home. This made me obsess over every physical sensation in my body, compulsively checking to make sure nothing was wrong. One compulsion that I hated the most would to be putting rubbing alcohol on me to make sure that I had no open wounds. Every day feels like I’m walking around in a fog of anxiety, constantly worrying that I won’t even make it to old age. Sometimes, it gets so overwhelming that I just want it all to end. It stresses me so bad at times to where my brain feels like I’ve been studying all day.
