I would say I’m mostly recovered (I’ve started having a couple bad days since getting back on birth control but I’m much more capable of handling them now, so they don’t get too bad). I was at a point where I couldn’t see a way out, never thought I’d be happy ever again, was [TW] praying to not wake up in the morning. It was rough! But two years after the initial symptoms showed up, I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been. OCD sucks, like sucks hard, but you really do come out a much stronger and happier person on the other end.

A couple of months ago I was having breakdowns everyday where I would cry uncontrollably with my boyfriend by my side because I couldnt help but think that I was gay. Today, I no longer struggle from the fear that I might be gay and I can simply push it off and its a great feeling. I knew that eventually my pain from the intrusive thoughts would subside so I kept hope and let myself feel the anxiety and eventually stopped getting bodily responses and the anxiety decreased. In the moment when suffering I felt like it would never be over and I was going to suffer forever. I am so glad I had this hope that it could get better and that the hope to get better assissted me in my other forms of OCD. For anyone reading this: I have been where you are and have felt the same debilitating thoughts. I couldnt move, I couldnt socialize, I had trouble eith my relationship but with support in therapy and a little self confidence im able to deal with the thoughts. I truly hope everyone has an amazing holidays and my heart goes out to people who are suffering from OCD; im with you.

Everyone needs positivity here
I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. You’re loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you🤍🤍🤍🤍

Those who recovered?
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊
