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.

lonely
My pocd makes me feel really lonely. I have friends who I love but they also struggle with mental health too, and when I'm there to listen and support them sometimes it's just too much and I feel like a bad friend. I can't help but feel like it's not the same, I know you can't compare your struggles to others but sometimes when my friend is telling me how they feel a lack of motivation and depressed I honestly wish I was just dealing with that instead of that and fearing that I'm a pedophile ontop of it. Like at least the thing you're dealing with isn't something that will make 90% of the population despise you, you know? I know that sounds bad and isn't very mature but I'm always the therapist friend for other people, and I'm the only one actually seeking help and trying to get better and I arguably have the worst thing to deal with. I feel like my friends only want to talk to me when they're depressed or need advice and I'm so tired of it.

I really wish yall would actually help.
This app is too flooded with posts and not enough people returning help. I really need it like. I’m sorry to be a nuisance but literally nobody else understands OCD & how debilitating it is. I’m so tired. So so tired.
