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.
Yeah and I hope I come out a stronger person like you To be honest I’m not As bad as a was a few months back but Sometimes it’s dark and deep down I know I love women and I’ll keep on pushing and hopefully have a dope 202
@Mod22 You’ll get through this! Glad to hear you’re doing better :)
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.
Im so glad to hear that u recovered from this theme!! Thats great and you are very strong? Hope that i can do the same as you!
@elleeen There is no doubt that you are capable to get through it! Its a day by day kind of thing
I need to get my self confidence back and start praying more I lost my faith because of this
I have seen some people recovered on here!! Although I think a lot of people once recovered usually will leave the app
Yeah and I kicked health Ocds ass I can surely kick this one too ?? but this app has a lot of triggers so I do understand where they are coming from a bit
I could come here on a good day then Go back to the cycles because of what I see here
I know one who has
I’m so jealous ??
Reading these posts is heartbreaking, but also eye opening as to how much we’ve allowed fear to torment and control us. I’m curious as to how many on here have had proper treatment. I’m guessing those who are recovered wouldn’t be on here.
Does anyone know of people who have recovered from ocd? Or have you yourself significantly lessen the symptoms? I’m at a point where my hope for getting any better is very little. I need some hope
Can anyone who has recovered, or is beginning to recover, describe that experience for themselves? I feel like a lot of us are just living by waiting for the next time we’re gonna be triggered and that’s no way to live. Thanks❤️☺️
