I've had OCD since I was a child and I've only come to realize it this year. I don't think it matters how long you've had it as long as you get on the road to recovery. It's not irreversible, no such thing. Keep going!

i was 12 when i experienced HOCD for the first time and i thought it was some anxiety disorder then i got put on acid reflux pills bc my parents couldn’t get that it wasn’t a physical issue but something to do with my mentality. then it kept escalating throughout the years then it relaxed just a bit until i had my massive relapse a few days ago. this is genuinely the worst my ocd has ever been bc half of it is actual mistakes blended with ocd blended with confusion and stress and i had so much i had to do this summer. i had to finish my resume and look for university programs and get my drivers license but i see nothing in my future now

I feel this. My parents didn’t fully understand what was going on either. Just continue to know that the future is going to be bright. You don’t know when or what will happen, but be positive

Ikr I feel the same. I had harm OCD when I was around 10. I was too young to recognise anything. It was went away I continued my school. But ever since I have been at home due to pandemic. I've had like ROCD. HOCD. TOCD and Harm OCD. Out of which hocd and tocd have and are still torturing me. I wish my mom had taken my to some professional 7 years back. My family has still not taken me to a therapist. I also feel I am doomed for life.

@Xxara We're all on the same boat. We have no other option than to stay strong. Can't wait to see y'all and myself on the other side of this illness where we're finally living our lives happily. Good luck. ❤️

I’ve had pretty severe ocd since I was five and I always knew I was overly paranoid and something was up but I didn’t realize it was definitely most likely ocd until I was about 12. I’m planning on going to a therapist this year for the first time and I know if I had gone a long time ago I would be in such a better place.

Sometimes I feel the same. But I then remind myself that I was doing the best that I could at the time…

Does anyone feel like they’re wasting their life away with mental illness? It depresses me so much everyday. My mental health has ruined my life since I was 15 and now I’m approaching 24 and am still in the same place- actually worse. I feel like when I get my life together I’ll be 28 and all my good years would’ve passed. It just makes me so sad 😔

I have a lot to say to my parents, I am 35 mine started young but hit hard at 16. Why didn’t they get me the help with this I needed growing up?? I could have been cured of this mess this disorder I didn’t have to suffer for 22 years. I feel like a fool like a idiot for suffering all these years I feel like a fool for my past for me trying to “figure myself out” it didn’t have to be like this or like it is for me right now my life could have been so much better and full of love. I am angry both my parents were drug addicts my mom had OCD she didn’t deserve to have kids when my symptoms got severe I turned suicidal my mom decided she wanted a divorce and abandoned us took my bro and sis and left me with her ex. I watched my dad tumble thru the divorce threatens suicide on me 3 times and I watched him put a shotgun in his mouth. All this is coming back up I am 35 now. I can’t stop thinking about the things I saw and the things that happened to me growing up. All this is on the surface now I am dealing with it. It’s all horrible I have been holding all this in for 22 years. I just want to be free and happy 😊. I feel Horrible
