Hi! I’m not fully recovered, but my OCD has gotten a lot better recently, I have fought some compulsions and it’s much more bearable than before! We’re all in this together!

What is something you find helpful in your recovery?

@WE CAN DO THIS Honestly, the best thing I do is finding a healthy outlet/distraction. I like drawing or watching a comfort show, some people say colouring helps, or writing down intrusive thoughts, because that way you’ve let them out. Also actually letting myself acknowledge that what I’m experiencing is OCD, and just sitting with the anxiety for as long as possible

i’m about 90% recovered from Pocd the only problem is when i do intimate things thoughts come back & I don’t know if it’s intentional or not but depression just takes over & I feel suicidal but the POCD has really calmed down since the summer so that’s the good part

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊

Hopeless
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!

Share recovery stories as I am in need of hope!
This is killing me slowly day by day, im a straight female 20 years old, i started getting hocd after a break up with an ex and coming off intense use of 🍁🍃 for a few years on and off, i think it has messed up my brain so bad… my hocd is weird because ive been with men my whole life always wanted to be with men.. i also used to always question every relationship “do i love him? Does he love me? Am I with the right person?” Anyways after my hocd triggered my tocd due to researching hocd and finding they can often be linked, I started getting tocd and it’s worse then ever because it’s not who I want to be and I’m going back to situations where my abusive ex partner called me a “man” during a fight. I’ve always been a tomboy but never had same sex attraction. Help. This is killing me. I haven’t been able to study or leave the house most days, and work! I’ve lost motivation for everything and I’m in a dark hole. I need some success stories please
