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.

Has anyone actually “conquered” OCD? I feel like I’ve never heard a story of someone actually overcoming it or living with it?

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?
