Is it possible to recover from pocd? Because I saw a video basically saying that it’s impossible because of the strong Shame around it that’s always gonna be there so now I feel really hopeless :( has anyone recovered from this?

I've struggled with those feelings as well. Pocd is one of my subtypes, and I think I also have "pure O," which makes it a whole lot harder. I've found a lot of comfort today from reading articles by Dr. Michael Greenberg. His approach is not yet clinically tested, but I really resonated with it. It's a variation of ERP, but focusing on developing tools to stop ruminating, which he postulates actually cause our anxieties. It gave me some approaches to try that certainly can't hurt and make me feel like I finally have some agency over my own thoughts. You can check it out and see if you find it helpful https://drmichaeljgreenberg.com/articles/. Best of luck friend!

Are you guys taking any medication does it help or does it make things worse

With ERP and the help of my therapist I feel I am getting better daily. So can you! You got this. Remember, we don't want these thoughts. That's why we have OCD...

That’s what i said but I Believe that nothing impossible for God are Father 🥺

Hi, I’m no expert but from what I understand the subtypes are there to remind you that other people share your particular theme so you don’t feel so alone. In terms of treatment - ERP has been proven to work regardless of the theme - don’t feel discouraged!
