Does anyone else get upset about the fact they have ocd and have to live with it for the rest of their lives? I sometimes just feel really gutted that although my symptoms have improved drastically and I mostly live a life without ocd affecting it, I feel worried and scared about the future and always having ocd.

I’m so scared I’ll be stuck in this forever soo soo scared

I know everything im dealing with is OCD. I have accepted that, but I just feel down. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I just want to be free from this horrible illness. Any positive stories and recovery journeys will help. What did recovery look like for you? I used to be so happy, I miss it so much. This feels like it’s taken everything from me. How do you just live your life despite how you feel? Any hope will help!

The thought of ocd being long-term is scaring me pretty bad. My therapist told me in our first visit last week that it will always come back and it triggered me. I know everyone says it’s manageable, but I keep having the thought that I won’t be able to handle it the rest of my life and I will want to suic. myself. I am terrified :(
