Who else constantly wishes they could go back to their old self? A time when you didn’t have such horrible obsessions. It made me realise, you only appreciate what you have when it’s gone. I’d do anything to have my sanity back

hey guys! I had the worst episode of ocd back in 2019, it took over my life and I was in constant panic. I didn’t even know that amount of suffering was possible. since then, I’ve had great moments and experiences and I was able to “return to normal” - whatever normal is anymore lol. It can and does get better!! I’m on my third regression currently but trying to stay strong 🤍✨ sending so much love!!

I feel like 5 life changed when I had my first real intrusive thought that really triggered me. I’m 38 years old and never experienced that before. Now I have them all the time and it’s really troubling. I would love to go back 6 months when I felt normal.

Mine started about 5 months ago as well.... I’m also having a really hard time...

Ya. It’s tough. I’ve kinda always had intrusive thoughts, but they never triggered me and I never obsessed over them. Something changed about 4 months ago, when one really bothered me for weeks. Then just recently I had another one, and it really triggered me. Been dealing with it for a week now. 5 months ago this stuff never happened.

I must say that a hundred times a day and your right I didn’t realize what I had I never could even imagine this would be my life right now

I’m 37 and never had to deal with intrusive thoughts until about 6 months ago, after I had covid. It’s been miserable. Anxiety and intrusive thoughts have led me to depression. I have been in group therapy but not specialized to what’s going on with the ocd, so tomorrow I start with NOCD. I’m hopeful.

Me too!!

I used to want to get o of bed in the mornings

Feel you
