I mean, focusing on the positive in that 9 out of 10 days are OCD free. I think you’ve got to accept and celebrate that. That being said, working with a therapist to help you work through the portion you’re stuck on could be helpful.

We always think that who we were before OCD was this happy, go lucky person, but ocd was always lurking inside us in ways we didn’t see. I remember being a real hypochondriac about things here and there, and eventually all this anxious thoughts cumulated in me becoming depressed and even more anxious, truth is those thoughts prob will never go away but you can come out even fucking better than before OCD really hit you, I’m so much better equip to deal with my anxiety and what life throws at me and I wouldn’t give that up for anything even before OCD really hit me

Yeh that’s completely normal you have to try to not engage and ruminate about the thoughts

Same here I’ve been having days where I feel completely normal. And other days I feel like I’m going nuts

Personally, I think some days I am better at dealing with the thoughts and some days they seem to get stuck because I spend too much time on them

We tend to think we will be finally happy once OCD is 100% gone, but this is something we prob gonna have to manage the rest of our lives , but that’s okay. I became much happier when I realized I just need to coexist with OCD, and that I can still do all the things I enjoy even with OCD. And if you’re enjoying yourself and having good days 9/10 then your way ahead of the curve. You’re allowed to have one bad day every once in a while, that’s normal, don’t think just bc u have one bad day you are regressing. Success isn’t linear, you have ups and downs, and if you have more ups than downs then you’re doing well

This is something I struggle with. The want to be “who we were before ocd” it can’t happen and it likely won’t. We all need to learn to manage and treat it as well hat it is. A condition we can’t wish away! Chrissie Hodges has a good video on this! Thank you!

I’m constantly thinking about hocd thoughts. What if I’m gay? What if you like her? Blah blah things like that, I can’t tell if it’s ocd anymore. Like deep down I know, and some days I know all the time I’m straight. I don’t like girls, I never have. So why can’t I just get it through my head? I’m tired of it. I literally can’t tell anymore

OCD Turns Off?
Does anyone else feel like they’re OCD turns off for a couple days? Like you go through an intense period of having intrusive thoughts and feeling the need to confess and then you only start to get thoughts here and there? And you try to keep yourself from having the thoughts but you’re not sure if it’s avoidance? Like I have felt sooo much better the last couple of days, especially in the morning, I live for those times of quiet in my head. But I still haven’t been able to accept myself for the things I might have done, like I can’t accept myself still because of my OCD. This probably sounds a little jumbled but I would like to think someone can relate lol

My Experience
I'm curious if anyone experiences OCD how I do. Somedays I barely have any intrusive thoughts and if I do, they cause me minimal anxiety. Other days I'm so anxious and tortured by my thoughts I feel I can't go on. I've gone months with constant turmoil and months without. Anyone else?
