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. On Instagram: obsessivelyeverafter Hope this helps!!

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

with that said if you want to get better I recommend a therapist who specializes in ERP if your insurance covers it. It helps a ton to get a baseline knowledge about recovery

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

Also I read on tik tok or twitter that if u still feel connected to younger people that means you’re not progressing or maturing and that’s bad. I’m 25 and I’m at this odd stage in my life where I’m getting older but still feel like I’m 20-22. I feel like I’m behind people that are my age. I think it’s because I’m been bed rotting with severe depression for the past 4 years… but I’m scared this means I’m becoming a pedo in the future.

Idk if im the only one but I've literally just been holed up in my bedroom for the past 3 months and have barely gone out especially in the last 2. I'm too scared to leave and interact with people normally because I feel like a criminal and like someone who doesn't deserve to be around others. But in the same breath, I'm starting to hate my bedroom. It just feels like all my negative emotions are being bottled up and stored in here. I keep telling myself I should go out and take a walk and maybe it will feel better to just be out in the fresh air. But also don't want to because I'm quite lethargic on top of not eating that much either. Just feeling... stuck.
