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.

Just a vent
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way

Let me be honest.
Ok so I just downloaded this app like two days ago because I was looking for a OCD specialist. Maybe this is just my opinion but the posting’s on this app can be super triggering. If feels like even sharing your experience on an app like this can contribute to fueling OCD. So many people I see reassurance seeking, confessing and posting the same things multiple times to gain certainty. Makes me wonder if this app is counterproductive to the point of OCD treatment. I’m guilty of spending hours scrolling through the post trying to find people who relate to me, but in the end it makes me more anxious and fuels my OCD. Idk what do you guys think.

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.
