I Can’t Believe It!

Gosh, where do I start? I can’t believe this day has come. I truly never thought I’d make it to this point. Things are definitely NOT perfect, but I’m experiencing quiet days more and more often when I used to feel miserable and afraid almost every single day. The spikes still come, but I’m able to manage them more easily and quickly. I never thought I’d feel more like the old me again… and, for a time, I wasn’t sure if I’d even still be alive by now. I am far from where I was when I was crying and curled up in a ball on the floor nearly everyday. I’m able to show up for my family and friends in a way that feels less like faking it. But I KNOW it will continue to be a journey. There will still be hard moments. Hard days. Days where I wish to escape from the horrible feelings that come with OCD. But I’m so grateful for this supportive community, and my prayer is that we ALL conquer this thing together! ☀️🌈

@Anonymous Thank you, friend. It’s definitely a process and it’s hard work. I still have hard moments that feel horrible and debilitating, but they’re happening less and less and aren’t lasting as long. And base on lots of things I’ve seen about OCD, we should all expect spikes and all expect hard days to still happen - but we are also more prepared for those moments. I’m rooting for you!

@Mackenzie - NOCD Team Member Thank you. This is truly one of the hardest things I’ve even gone through and has been VERY hard work. I’m not 100%, but I’m a far cry from where I started. ♥️

Congratulations!! This post means a lot to me as well. Quiet days currently feel next to impossible, but your words are very encouraging and make it feel possible. I hope that you celebrate this milestone!

@Maggie1102 Praying for quiet days to come quickly for you, friend! I will say, you have to adjust to the quiet days as well because I was so used to being on high alert and being so overwhelmed and miserable every day. OCD takes such a toll on your nervous system, so recovery takes time for your brain to adapt to as well.

This is great to hear! I’m struggling with some of the things you are and had a week where I felt 100% and then this whole week have been in a horrible setback, it has been a back and forth so far. On good I can tell myself these things but in bad it’s just a million times harder. Hope there is more good to come for you

@Anonymous I know the feeling. It gets better, but it’s definitely a marathon as they say. 🙃
