So today I told ocd to eff off, that I was tired of the lies, doubt, feelings that it gives me. I put my foot down telling it I don't care about anything that has to do with my ocd theme I don't care what you throw at me. It's all irrelevant and it doesn't matter. I don't care how real it seems it only seems real because of the attention and feelings of fear that I give it. I broke the chains of this ball and chain and I am free. Battered and bruised,, but I am free. Don't give up pepole keep on fighting find something that matters to you to hold on too. To give you the strength to keep fighting. Mine was the very thing ocd attacked and that was my son. Fight pepole fight. Much love and encouragement from my behalf to all you warriors!!!!!

YESS!! good for u!! dont let it tell you who you are, only u get to do that. :)

I hear you and understand where you coming from. Ocd is a sneaky punk. What made this ocd tough was the groinal responses they really are like the best weapon ocd has. It can really mess with you. The body feels one way but the mind isn't agreeing with the body if that makes sense. Then the mind doubts if your right it's just a big circle game lol. I laugh because I can literally say I beat ocd today I won.

I started experiencing symptoms long before I knew it was OCD. It was h o r r i b l e. One day I was sitting in my room doing compulsions for an hour and a half until 2am and I couldn’t get it “right.” This night was a huge turning point because 1) I refused to do them and learned that I actually don’t HAVE to do them (I didn’t think I had a choice in this bc all I knew was my body was telling me I had to) and 2) It pushed me to look up what was happening and I realized I had OCD and that so many other people are experiencing what I am
