I don't think I will ever progress as a human being. I haven't even turned 15 yet and I've wasted the last 2 years of my life in constant dismay Even if i overcome my agony, I still have to look back at wasting lockdown, my journey into adolescence/high school, finishing grade 7 and everything else as me just being worrried. Is it ever going to get better?

Yes it does get better I promise please don’t give up. Though ocd might have taken up the past 2 years of your life, the future is yours. The best revenge you can get on your ocd is to live the life you’ve always imagined and dreamt of, which is possible. Trust the process and do the recovery work, it might take time but you can do it I promise. I believe in you! Some other resources to check out on YouTube: Ali Greymond, Mark Freeman, Restored Minds.

You bet it does. I lived a very difficult life from 16 - 28. Then on top of everything else at 25 my OCD wrecked me. After about 5 years of therapy and pushing myself to be kinder to myself I now live a life I couldn’t have ever imagined. Of course I wish I hadn’t missed out on all that time but I’m not going to let it rob me of my hard won tomorrow. Hold strong and never hesitate to seek your community when you struggle

Don’t judge your future off of those two years. I wasted my entire teen years lol but there’s so much more life to live beyond that so don’t let it hold you back. it will get better if you start stepping up and decide to live life. :) ocd can make it really difficult to actually do this but recovery is very much possible.

Plenty of people have started with OCD young and they developed well still. Personally i got it for the first time in like 6th grade. Am now 24. It sucks but you’ll ge through it
