Yep. I think it’s common for people to get into this cycle of thinking whenever they start to get over their OCD theme/enter recovery. Honestly, it’s just another way for our OCD to latch onto our fear of the future and the ‘what if’s’, and keep us in a state of anxiety and rumination. What helps me is to just try and ground myself in the moment and remind myself that there will be good times too (and that there have been good times where I’ve felt invincible from OCD). I just try and strive for that feeling of clarity.

With years it will get better/easier to deal with and live with. I don't know if it goes away but it definitely gets better

Absolutely. Sometimes I kinda miss the days when I was younger and had no idea my behaviors were attributed to OCD. Realizing I had OCD gave me a lot of answers, but it also triggered a new obsession over the sadness of being “mentally ill.” Which in hindsight is a stupid term. OCD is really a silly thing— don’t beat yourself up over it. Everyone has their battles and this is ours. Don’t let it get in the way of your fulfillment of life

It greatly depends on the effort you put into your recovery. It's a ton of very hard work. But a lot of people did it and so can you! You're not that special!

Yes but then I can see areas where I gave gotten better and medications that have helped and I know that I have hope.

So honestly the worst part of (what I think is) my OCD is the "groinal syndrome"... My intrusive thoughts were fading, but now all the doubt is creeping back in because of it. I know that I'm not what my thoughts try and persuade me I am. My whole identity is much more solid now than it was when I was at my worst. But at the same time, the anxiety is still there and the groinal response thing has started to come back recently... I try not to do anything compulsive but a lot of my compulsions are mental ones so I find myself doing them before I can even stop myself. Am I just going to be stuck with the anxiety & the physical manifestations forever?? Because even now, after I have learned about OCD, and after things started to get better, I am still experiencing it. I'm terrified to get a diagnosis too, in case they tell me it's not OCD or in case there's nothing they can do to help me :/ Ach I hate this all so much ?

Not to sound too depressing but does anybody else get scared or worried about the fact you have to deal with OCD for the rest of your life now that you have it.. Is it even possible to live somewhat of a normal life and have your thoughts not bother you as much?

Does OCD ever go away? I constant feel stuck in my head and feel that I am impaired. Have been on medication for the last one year, done over 25 therapy sessions but nothing seems to work
