I think it’s possible. In my particular case, My desire is not so much to overcome as it is to learn to live with it in a way that makes my life more fulfilling. I don’t like the unwanted thoughts, there is no joy in that, but if I embrace my OCD I will get to a point where the thoughts will not cause pain. If I fight, I will be like a dog endlessly chasing it’s own tail.

Me too but then again I’m nervous to post because I don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or trigger them in some way on accident. OCD is isolating and scary at times and I wish everyone the best in whatever ocd traits they have to go through day in and day out. I know there is nothing I can really say to solve the problem because I struggle everyday as well. But we’re in this together and Im routing for you.

I understand where your coming from. I am a fellow OCD sufferer. I know for a fact that talking about our pain makes a big difference. I feel better already! I guess it would be better if we learned to embrace our condition rather than fighting it. It’s a never ending battle, if we try to defeat it, but if we accept it, we will become stronger and better persons because of it. That’s just my personal opinion.

Never ending?? Nooo. What about the people who say they’ve conquered it. Do you think it’s possible to overcome ocd?

Struggling with OCD makes us special in a great way! Since the beginning of time, people who have possessed oitstakmg minds have been fellow OCDers. We just have learn to coexist with it. We have to turn the cards so that OCD becomes our friend instead of our dreaded enemy. Mastering this last paragraph is as good or better than completely annihilating the condition. I wish everybody the best as well!

Yep. People with OCD also tend to be people of above average intelligence.

OCD is a chronic condition. So it will never go away completely. But you can learn to defeat it and have it fade into the background.

Sometimes I feel like my life would be more empty without OCD. Even though it causes me so much stress and anxiety, I feel like that stops me from being bored. Sounds silly because I know that everybody STRIVES to be relieved of OCD and the trouble it causes. I guess I just feel like having OCD makes me different from other people (and I like to be bold and stand out). Without it, I’d just be like everybody else. And that’s why I fear NOT having it; that would mean I truly am just like everybody else and my thoughts are real. Idk. It’s also nice to be part of this community where we all push eachother forwards and celebrate eachother for all the things we do. I don’t want to lose that.

I kinda wish TOCD (trans ocd) was talked about more. I feel super alone.

I like this app but unfortunately I just don't seem to get the support I need. Feel so alone. I see other people post and lots of people relate to what they are going through and always reply. I just don't seem to find that. (harm ocd sufferer) when I say hocd most people think I mean homosexual ocd. I know we aren't supposed to ask for reassurance and I'm not really just would be nice to find someone who suffers the same and gets what I'm going through.
