How are you guys okay having ocd?

Honestly I’m not okay with it because it’s made my life terrible. BUT, HOWEVER, accepting that I have OCD and remembering that with time and practice, I’ll get better is what makes me the least bit okay with OCD. And besides, I have this community to turn to!

This community feels like a game to me though. I know no one in rl who struggles with this and I feel SO ALIEN

@Byathread Haha, trust me, there are literally so many people out there like you who are struggling with OCD, you’re not alone in this <3 it’s hard to feel normal when nobody around you can relate to you

Well I'm not okay most of the time but sometimes I am and I make the most of that, it sounds stupid but I kind of have to be okay otherwise I'd just end my life if I sat and ruminated over how bad OCD is.

And it’s sooo good that you can appreciate your life that way xx

@Byathread Thank you, it does get better and you will get there eventually it's just a journey xxx

I can’t change the fact I have OCD. There’s no cure, so it is what it is. Rather feeling like a victim, I choose to overcome my mental illnessses and make it into a life long joke.

It’s the opposite, I don’t feel at all victimised, I feel like I am responsible and to blame and I should be outa here
