You can manage ocd by learning to accept the thoughts.. and then when that happens they go away.. very idiosyncratic

I look at OCD like when you go for stitches. You get hurt, go for stitches...a week or so you heal...get the stitches taken out..you heal and your back to normal but the scare remains for life. For me thats Ok! ? I accept it and I’m blessed that i’m able to function. You can never take away our normal human emotions...your always gonna have anxiety and fear. Some people want it completely gone but we have those emotions in us for a reason. They’re our alarm system. They protect us and tell us something is wrong. We just have them go off at the wrong time. Hope this helps ?

I used to live in a forest where there were deadly tigers . I was soo scared that how am gonna survive there. I lived for years with fear.Then one day I realized I cannot life in this fear anymore.One day I saw through my window that , when the tigers were attacking a porcupine , the tiger hurt it self. There came a hope I was so happy.When the tigers were not there for a moment I gathered plants which were thorny.I wore my usual clothes then wrapped myself with those thorns. Then came the moment where I have to step outside,my heart was beating but I decided to do that. As soon as I steped out , they tried to attact me .Some of then attacked me but broke there own teeths . And others by seeing it , were afraid.Now whenever I have to go out I know what I have to do . There are there but cannot harm me in any way ...?❤

Manageable but not curable. It never goes completely away. It is impossible for perfection.

Does anyone know of people who have recovered from ocd? Or have you yourself significantly lessen the symptoms? I’m at a point where my hope for getting any better is very little. I need some hope

Anybody have nice recovery stories? Personally I don’t believe the whole “OCD is something you manage, not cure” thing as I think it’s just the medicinal companies looking to have you popping pills your entire life. Anyways, I KNOW that recovery is possible, and I know that it’s very inspiring and motivating to hear from people that has been in OCD hell that got out on the other side. So please, if you have any stories, share! I can give you a little story; my mom got herself some bad Harm OCD when she got her first child, my big sister, and intense amounts of anxiety from the OCD and agoraphobia too. In the last 20 years, she’s had two panic attacks. She’s over it! She’s out and about and haven’t known intrusive thoughts for ages

How many of you have recovered from ocd? I know we tend to come here for support during our struggles but I know many ppl have recovered from a theme or ocd symptoms period. Can you share your story if you have. The prevailing story is that ocd is chronic but there are many voices off this app saying they are living proof that ocd doesn't have to be chronic.
