One of the hardest things to cope with when struggling with OCD is accepting uncertainty and being comfortable in the not knowing. It’s hard, it’s a long battle, but accepting you’ll never have the exact answer to your question’s is a huge step in getting better!

OCD is chronic though, so it will never fully go away. But the thoughts will become quieter and with therapy you can learn how to deal with the thoughts

Sadly it will never go away, but you will learn to manage it. I’ve reached the point where when it starts I sit down, I journal my thoughts and remind myself the last time it happened it got better. My biggest problem now is waiting for the next thing to hit, so I focus on that. Have you ever tried an outpatient exposure therapy program? Helped me a lot.

OCD
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩

OCD is chronic
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 :(
