I wish there were more people active on here. Wait actually I mean I don’t because that’s more people with this awful disorder but I just mean posting can be so lonely and not a huge community

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!

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.
